Huge crowds of Iraqi mourners join Gen. Soleimani’s funeral procession

[Father Heathen]

Sooo...now the cowering?

No. Not you anyway, who can smugly jerk off to this sort of thing from the comfort of your home, but westerners who have to conduct business in that part of the world, maybe.
But my point was simply that things can have a domino effect. I know you don't play chess, because not every piece taken warrants a squeal of delight.

The difference between you and me is: During my 3 yrs and 9 mos. of service, the only time I was on a ship in water, is when a friend was stationed on the U.S.S. Forrestall which pulled into Port in Athens Greece. I met him in Athens and he got me on board, gave me a short tour, and then we both returned to the city to have some drinks together. I think I was on the ship for about 3 to 4 hours, max, and that was the extent of my "sea-time".

You weren't a CT by chance?

It's okay, bro. We got your back...sleep easy.

Does if you want to intentionally annoy the bejeezus out of your opponent.

So if not a "squid", would you be "calamari"?

Not if you made a move that left you open.

CYN (Communications Yeoman, 3rd Class P.O.) All my duty stations were Naval Communications Stations: Midway Island; Saigon, Vietnam; and Nea Makri, Greece.

Who's "we"? But I will regardless. I just hope Trump has the right experts advising him and isn't simply clinching his eyes shut while running forward, wildly swinging windmill punches.

 

[Terry Sampson]

Do I look like a calamari to you?

 

[columbus]

Who's "we"?

Trump supporters.

Ya know,
the people who manage to believe both that Trump will release his tax returns, because he's a straight talker with nothing to hide.
And also, that Trump won't release his tax returns because nobody really cares any way.

You know, people who manage to believe both of those things at the same time.
Because Trump will Make America Great Again!

Oh.

But how would they have my back?

I can pump my own gas.

That's weird

Iraqis celebrate Soleimani killing, Pompeo tweets

 

[Twilight Hue]

Trump authorized extra 3000 troops to the middle east, yesterday I think it was. So it looks like they preparing for something big there. or is it only fake news?

3000 troops are pretty small figures.

 

[Twilight Hue]

From what I have read there was no love lost in Irag for the two Iranian targets eliminated at the Baghdad airport.

Nope no love at all. They were quite happy that a murderous figure was dealt with.

 

[Father Heathen]

Yes, Iran is ran by meddlesome scumbags, but why are we so eager to start another long, drawn out, bloody conflict in the middle east? One that could see more and bigger players this time. One that could spread us too thin, hamper the economy, etc. If we can't trust the president to wipe his own ***, how can we trust him to navigate such a mess?

3000 troops are pretty small figures.

until they're dead!!

 

[Lyndon]

a President that has trouble flushing his own crap!!

propaganda from Pompeo;

A Video Tweeted by Pompeo Was Authentic. His Description Was Misleading.

I guess it's one of those things we will never know for sure unless you've been there.
