Don’t pretend Trump didn’t also fund and arm the IDF and support violent Israeli expansion.
So disgraced ex POTUS Don [is] also guilty of genocide.

Both are guilty of being complicit in genocide but to different extents.

Both will continue to support it, but Trump agrees with Netanyahu that Palestinians should be wiped off the face of the earth, driven into the sea and forgotten... Biden is (finally, but late) air dropping food to avoid another trap being set by the IDF to murder more starving children.

How about a combined fronts approach: Air-drops of cross-dressers and male dancers with Amazon drones delivering micro-stills and kobe beef to every family with enlisted offspring?? Include pamphlets laced with LSD with over-sized head caricatures of Putin-on-Obama porn.

It's always awesome when a Sift expert in the video subject is able to clarify things. Thanks :]

paratroopers do jump out the back, and no, there arent any entanglements or anything like that from doin a tailgate jump and you use the same cable to hook your static line to on a door jump as you do a tailgate jump. You still go one at a time, your static line is just 2 seconds longer. But typically door jumps are made, especially in the 82nd and especially with c17/130
oh this brings back memories =)


>> ^Gamble:

We do jump out of the tailgate at times, but usually not C17/130. The static line (the yellow cable attached to the cable in the plane that deploys the parachute) has a greater chance of getting wrapped around things it doesn't need to be. Like the jumpers.

Why don't the paratroopers jump off the back?

I'd imagine it'd be harder to mount the chute cable at the back. Also, if they all jumped at once they might fuck up each other during the decent. May as well use the side door with the cable and the one-at-a-time method.


Oh man. About 6 months ago one of the other units in my brigade had one catch a crazy thermal/gust before something went wrong and it came in too hot. Almost smashed into the road. Was pretty sweet.

So how do I get them to drop one of those in my drive way?

I'd like to see the landing of those vehicles...


they land just fine. If one burns in, like i've seen on two occasions, it fucks shit up big time

wow... this is getting ugly. that said, its kinda funny that they quote the 'air-drop of a mini-army' just to find info on Palin, while they're at the same time trying to paint him as someone with no executive skills.

I wonder why McCain thinks the ends justify the means to this degree? Is it because he lost to Bush all those years ago that now he's perfectly comfortable with this level of bullplop?

Yes, I've read Naomi Wolf. Cheney took advantage of 911 like Hitler took advantage of the Reichstag fire, but Clinton/Obama seem different. During the previous Clinton administration not one American claimed we resembled post-WWI Germany, though 9/11 itself was blowback from Clinton and pre-Clinton policy. I never supported nuclear proliferation, nor threats designed to prevent it. Nukes are safe in India's hands, but not with Pakistan or Turkey. I never supported "pumping Iraq full of money and weapons". You are putting words into my mouth. Somebody has to stop the sectarian death squads in Iraq. Replacing US troops with UN peacekeepers is good because it would calm some of the jihadists. Total immediate withdrawal would probably lead to a 3-way civil war between the Kurds, Sunnis, and Shiites and an eventual 3-state schism, and Iraqi Kurd independence would lead Iran and Turkey into the fray, and I can't say for certain that the total death toll of that would be higher than UN peacekeeping over festering wounds of sectarian violence, but it probably would. I wish the Iraqi Kurds could get a free state without Turkey&Iran making a fuss about the precedent that sets. Kurdistan is the most peaceful and least fundamentalist part of Iraq. I'm sufficiently uncertain about the difference in eventual effect between gradual withdrawal & UN peacekeeping vs. total immediate withdrawal that it's not really the most important difference between the candidates. The biggest problem in Iraq is the damn fundamentalist religion. They prefer to just blow each other up over an argument that started with who should succeed the ancient impostor Muhammad. Most Iraqis oppose total freedom of religion, even the ones who are afraid of being oppressed by a majority of the opposite sect. It's madness. Some days I wish someone would translate the complete works of Thomas Jefferson, Thomas Paine, and Richard Dawkins into Arabic and air-drop 100 million copies.

Because it doesn't fall into line with pre-conceived notions of soldier/marine barbarity I suppose. I plan on air dropping leaflets next.
