  1. It’s okay for me to talk about my job, as long as I’m not specific. I am the Sergeant of a three-man Rapid Tactical Force at one of America’s largest indoor retail shopping areas. Although there are typically between fifteen and twenty normal security officers working the beat there, we decided a while ago that it would be best to have a specilized force for violent individuals. We use modified electric vehicles and can be anywhere on a given floor within eight and a half minutes.Naturally, the regular security people are unarmed. We “RTFers”, by arrangement with the local police, carry high-strength OC spray and batons. If we have a full tactical alert and permission from the local LEOs we also have a Mossberg 500 with less-lethal rounds and two K-frame Smith .38s loaded with 158gr. LRN.Basically, the situation is that we get the call, we lock up the situation, put everything five by five, and cordon the area until the local authorities arrive. We’re cops, we just don’t get the glory. I am not permitted to carry Glocks on duty; however, when my wife picks me up from work I strap on the “Deadly Duo” of a 27 and 23, each with Bar-Sto .357 bbl.I am writing a proposal to replace our current Mossberg-Smith armament with the following: 3) MP5K-PDW with red-dot sights; 2) G36 rifles using SS109 rounds; 3) Glock practical tacticles in .357 Sig 1) PSG-1 using Fed Gold Medal .308 1) Starlight scope for the PSG-1 in case we lose power in the building. 3) Glock 27 backup guns 3) Kahr P-9 holdouts I think this would make us capable of facing nearly any situation. I’ll let you know what the management says!!!
  2. He admits it on his linkedIn. This guy was not a badass merc but he did have access to cop accoutrements.
  3. That bio reads like some Gravy Seal bullshit. And the company page is much more “mall cop” than “soldier of fortune.”
  4. Eh, there’s a lot of geography and capability limits that keep this within a certain boundary on the right, particularly with Hezbollah incapacitated and Hamas to ground. By necessity this is going to be likely be restricted to air strikes and small unit actions in support. Israel said this will be a few weeks and I tend to believe them. Astonishing to see how Iran has screwed the poodle over decades: diverting resources to proxies that now won’t show up, doubling down on isolating themselves regionally, pursuing a rhetorical strategy of insanity. Its important to remember that neither Iran or Israel has any strategic imperative to be at each other’s throats with three borders between them and no real core interests at stake. Israel is pragmatic in the extreme outside of Palestine/Lebanon/Syrian border and this has all been driven by Iranian ideological motivators. Even less than Jew/Zionist hate, its been Iran’s obsession with posing as the real ideological and geopolitical leader within the Islamic world, which is in itself stupidly ideological. It’s just decades of clerical-military fusion leading to collective brain damage. Syria is a good counter-example where the leader of an al-Qaeda affiliate just announced he wanted to be cool now and the entire world lined up to give money and normalized relations. Iran could have managed to detente with some of their satans at any time and wouldn’t be here. Hopefully Israel drops a few on the Shahed factory. Another place where Iran had no strategic imperative or benefit— helping to kill Ukrainians.
  5. I don’t think there will be any negotiations, Israel will just decide when they are done.
  6. The version I saw had the pilot also a woman. Such obvious blockhead bait being repeated by the person constantly complaining about social media rotting brains.
  7. The salvo they launched was quite a bit smaller than what they did earlier. Are they conserving missiles? Are their launch capabilities much degraded? Mixture of both? We likely won’t know from media alone.
  8. The Iron Dome isn’t for ballistic missiles. Which is what apparently got through. It appears Iran used a mix of drones and missiles for this.
  9. Likely they flew over Syria to get through Iraq. Neither gets much say in the matter. Eastern Iraq apparently littered with missile debris.
  10. The line is that we were aware but not involved.
  11. It also (per Israel official comms) appears as though they used tactics similar to the Ukraine bomber raid to overwhelm Iranian aur defenses with low-range drones. There us very little contestation of Iranian airspace now, and it will take a long time for a regime under sanctions to reconstitute.
  12. Pretty incredible stuff given that the whole purpose of Hezbollah was so Iran had a deterrent right next door to Israel. Israel is basically at max strategic flexibility right now.
  13. Imagine how bad things would be if we had neocons running things, luckily we have moved on to a more grounded and stabilizing foreign policy.
  14. The Prez will be on this early, a full hour before the crack of mid-day. First will need to digest Fox and Friends. I would stake a significant sum that the implications of this on the parade will consume quite a bit of time.
  15. At this moment the DNI has been locked out of discussions about how to handle an attack on Iran’s nuclear sites, a drunk morning show host is running the DoD, there is no National Security Council, and the State Department is dismantling itself as the manifest failure of Trump’s real estate realist peace negotiator comes into the foreground. “Neocons” are nowhere to be seen in this, Anastasis has been stanning for all involved. It’s just a pretty pathetic attempt at deflection from another round of “fell for it again” pinning ceremonies.
