Now that Putin is leading the way Obama thinks it is safe for him to follow. What in the hell have we been doing the last couple of years? Obama’s rules of engagement stink.
Go USMC.
And when will the dumb ass notice that he in the only government that calls them ISIL?
Be safe, be brave, and kill the 7th century bastards.
And operation inherent resolve? Who the hell dreams up these retarded propaganda operation names,,, just cause, Iraq freedom, inherent resolve, etc.
How about some Torch, Olympic, Coronet, Overlord, Husky, Detachment, Hastings, Sam Houston, Alamo, Linebacker, etc etc.
Are they being employed as attack aircraft?
If so, it's the only resources the Pentagon has on station and a sign we have insufficient weapons, men...and possibly will.
This should not be mistaken for a major escalation.
Every time I hear ISIL I want to throw up. But since it is navy.mil, the usage is understandable from the PC standpoint. It’s ISIS and the jerk in the white hut knows it.
Um...perhaps patently obvious in present company, but not one comment addresses the fact that this is the best we can do because we dont have a full-fledged carrier available for Med theater of operations...
Yes, now these aircraft, too, can show their ordinance to the enemy before they drop it into the ocean for a safe landing back on the carrier.
