I don't have the details. But if the Gov. of Iran sanctioned or supported an attack like this, it is entirely different from an Iranian National who did it on his own.

Dude... let it go. China did not commit ground troops in VN war. There were senior advisers and training personnel, but no line troops.

You make a solid, basic point in that there are always people out there who believe your beliefs are silly. If they are decent people, they will keep their thoughts to themselves. But of course, many are NOT decent and enjoy baiting and insulting. This sort will always be with us. So what...

I've maintained for months that Israel has very limited ability to strike Iran. Iran is simply too far away to make a conventional strike both possible and effective. Diplomacy is necessary here. And perhaps a secret cable to Iran announcing the long-presumed presence of thermonuclear...

The AIM-9X is probably the most lethal, capable, and easy to use AAM in the world. Fired in parameter, the likelihood of a kill, as a percentage, is near 100%.

1) Buy a Cessna 172 with an autopilot coupled to the GPS already on board. 2) Pack it with explosives or nerve gas. 3) Pilot takes off, programs the autopilot. 4) Pilot bails out, parachutes to safety. 5) Cessna flies pre-programmed flight path. Explosives are detonated via contact or...

One cannot blame an entire country for the acts of individuals from that country. We don't blame Mexico when an illegal immigrant enters the USA and commits a murder. Only if there is irrefutable evidence that a Nation-State like the KSA contributed materially to the attacks, is it worth pursuing.

"Codes." As if all I have to do to protect my jet is broadcast 43hg873ht8fy39y8f834 On VHF 124.75 MHz. Specifications, weaknesses, vulnerabilites, yes. Codes, no. I guess "codes" to a system is an easy way for news media to explain something very complex.

It is sad but occasional failures in a rescue are unavoidable. If we insist that every rescue attempt must be 100% successful, then we will be paralyzed, and nothing will happen.

Interestingly, in a lot of those videos, you hear foreign languages being spoken by the observers. These are coalition forces.

Excellent video... the RSAF looks to be very professional and well prepared. It is exercises like these that make the difference. There is nothing quite like it in the world for scale and scope. One thing that has come a long way is the computerized representation of the battles... those 3D...

I recommend a coup. The drone strikes are taking place with your leadership's approval and intelligence, targeting the same idiots who detonate bombs in markets. Is that individual a victim of a drone, or a terror bomb? If a drone, then do those who die in terror bombings not merit your...

This line alone makes the rest of your post a bit chuckleworthy. As it stands, it is completely off topic and meaningless, unless you have decided in your mind that the behavior of colonialists in the 1700's is a good reason to wage war.

Uhhhh, the F-117 was shot down with a barrage of SA-3 missiles. Not guns. Unless the Taliban are operating Flak-88 emplacements, they are limited to a couple thousand meters maximum. Please note I studied and lived and breathed AAA and SAM systems for many years. I know what they can, and...

Apparently, the Qurans were being used to pass messages among prisoners. The symbolic act? Where in this entire episode was there any symbolism? If the goal was to "make some political statement", the Qurans would be burned with due ceremony, with grave pronouncements like "We are at war...

With your first sentence, we are already far apart... and that's OK. Christians believe the "Made in the image of God" has nothing to do with physical appearance... at all. "In the image of God" means having a soul, a spiritual constituent, a conscience, sentience, and ultimately the ability...

Tell you what, I'll mail out a case of Bibles, they can burn those, and then we'll be even. I cannot begin to describe the enormous gulf in sentiments between this whole Quran burning = death and mayhem thing. In the West, a human life is worth infinitely more than a book. A book can be...

The OP is apparently a guy pumping up a (his?) website... he's already banned. But this comment is ridiculous. The ONLY reason "Bush backed off" is because of a fear of some imaginary nuclear winter? Do you have any idea how many atmospheric nuclear bomb tests have already taken place...

The MG-3 is absolutely superior to the USA M-60. See, I CAN admit other weapons are better than ours! ;) The M-60 was a pig... that was its nickname. The old Browning 1919-A4 is a more reliable weapon, despite it's age. But better than any of these is the FN 7.62 belt-fed MAG-58, or...

If you guys keep saying "Please close this thred", the thread gets refreshed and then everyone clicks on it to see what it is, generating more comments. Like mine! ;) That said, an AC is designed to project power. If the day comes when Pakistan feels the need to do so, then go for it. But...
