WTF is a “kinetic strike”- is that a kinder and gentler way of saying ATTACK?
do these generals even know what fools they sound like?
I first noticed the use of "kinetic" when Obama described the Libyan war as a "kinetic action". He was using it as a euphemism for the word "war." I guess kinetic is now a stylish media word for military attacks.
Yeah that made me think I was back in physics class. This is the military under Obama. We lose 30 of the best of the best and kill 2 dirt bags in dirty pajamas? I doubt they'd have a life expectancy longer than three months anyways.
Every time I see one of Obama's generals talk I want to break the TV. I see all the new weapons on the military channel that we refuse to use because we have to fight a "PC" war.
Utter garbage.
A kinetic strike is one where there is no chance of the enemy striking back but costs a lot more money; whereas, a “setting duck” strike is one where Obama tries to cut the cost of military and jams highly trained forces into a flying buss to save a few dollars.
Kinetic means “moving” or constantly moving. I think when a military man uses that word it means “we bombed the _____ out of them.”
I prefer we nuke that damn country and pakistan.
Absolutely. Take it a step further— someone went to great effort somewhere in the news cycles on this to officially say that NONE of the killed SEALS were on the actual bin laden strike team.
This was initially reported in the media that the actual team was killed in this... later changed to “members of the same SEAL team as...”
So, one is informed that none of the strike team were revenged,... so they say, but we will never know.... just 22 members of the SEALs sent to rescue a Ranger unit, on specOps.
By this attack on the “actual taliban shooters” we are supposed to now not question WHY we had 22 lost, all on the same chopper, and a somehow “lucky shot” from pre-placed shooters who knew the path of the chopper. We taught these people these tactics. The Paki intel insider knew one of the afghans on board, or their taliban aligned drug dealing commander... there is the link.
A famous quote: “You can rent an Afghan, but never buy one” applies. As does Kipling’s “Young British Soldier”:
“When you’re wounded and left on Afghanistan’s plains,
And the women come out to cut up what remains,
Jest roll to your rifle and blow out your brains
An’ go to your Gawd like a soldier.
Go, go, go like a soldier,
Go, go, go like a soldier,
Go, go, go like a soldier,
So-oldier ~of~ the Queen! “
Can you imagine serving with these people? Whose opium marketing tribe is on top changes overnight. We either define the mission and complete it or we need to get the hell out of this and/or turn them to glass. It is a way of life for them and we are wasting the best we have. Democrats love to destroy our warriors— it is an old motif, and these are obama’s ROEs.
I do not think it means what the spokesman thinks it means...

Pity they are not using such methods.
