Seriously. You are comparing 2000 warfare to 2020 warfare.

Just a calculated launch of missile carrying nuke can destroy the whole of New york from far away china not to talk of Iran.

And they are loads of anti aircraft devices now.

I dont pray for the looming war to happen. But when he does happens, trust me they will be casualties from both side soils.

I'm not praying for war, what do I have to gain from it? Whether it's year 2000 or year 3000, person wey pass u pass u. US will finish Iran if it gets to full scale war.

Opiletool:


In that same Iraq war you quoted, over 30,000 US soldiers died.

In d few weeks the war lasted and Saddam captured? Source pls

sauceEEP:
No magazines, why is that?

That's how it should be. They don't need the magazine as they are not in the combat arena yet.
Unlike here where they walk around with loaded guns as if they are at war with the civilian populace.

Don't mind them, they re just quoting figures anyhow. It is very easy to identity a Muslim when he appears.

uninspired07:


God bless you. Please look for every way to serve the US Army in their pursuit of democracy & good Governance all around the world.

Search the internet & see how you can serve the US Army.

"in their pursuit of democracy & good governance". This is the first joke of the year!

slimthugchimee2:


That's armed forces special forces not army special forces, weren't you the dude that said that 8 dollars will buy a night vision googles is it your father that is producing if? Lol leave anything about military you are ignorant of it

oh boy. you nairaland people have bad mouth.

I rather start a way than fight in it

sanusi44z:
Sense is far from you.

Who has iran bombed? Or where have you heard of an Iranian suicide bomber?

Iran is a sovereign nation not a terrorist group. Iran does not support terrorists, infact the assassinated general defeated ISIS in Iraq. Most terrorists group are Sunni, Boko haram, taliban, ISIS and co, and they hate Iran.

Americans are scared of war, protesting in the cities but some lunatics sitting in one corner in Nigeria are calling for war.

And AL shabab or whatever they are called just bombed a US Kenyan base in Kenya.. They there dey deceive yourself.. Iran government supports different terrorist cells all over the world and your opinion won't change that

You are absolutely correct! Vietnam war comes to mind, and so is the election that brought Trump despite all the clear indicators that it was Clinton's . Not an unconventional enemy like Iran that is ready to go underground and indirectly state-support terror groups to unleash mayhem while US old and new enemies tactically support or look away. And God forbids open confrontation where no holds are barred! But if Trump has a water tight evidence of Soleimani's involvement in the attacks against US citizens and interests,i can bet you nothing would happen and he would get away with it. But who can tell?

Explorers:
My Layman's term.


War sometimes is not about hardware, tech, or might.

But Strategy, Logic, Planning and Diversion. You make false move, withdraw on the way and make another.

This is 2020, not 1920s.

If there should be WWIII, the result might be shocking.

Only if we live to tell.

rampantlover:
Marching to their deaths but it's OK because none of Trump's family will be there.

That was what they signed for... Or is buhati family in sambisa forest?

The international bankers are preparing to rake in their billions from the fallout of any war. Unfortunately lives will be lost and those soldiers up there are merely expendable pawns in the game of these soulless monsters who foment wars all because of the gains they hope to make.

Omotaday:
They don’t look happy. Trump using human lives as chess.

Were you expecting them to be happy? Are they being deployed to DisneyLand?

Sirwallace:

Why do you lot like quoting vietnam. That's US only lost battle if at all it was a loss. vietnam never remained the same after that war and still trying to get hand out from US till this day.

That's the unfortunate part. Contractors will rake in billions of dollars while innocents souls perish.

seen anyone happy about going to war?

Never to use cold water take baff for morning u go tink sey I be soldier talk less to go fight

America fight strategic war. they don't go to war they cannot win. that is why they will never admit they lost the vietnam war because of that ego.

check the real fighters of world war 1 and how they came at the later part of world war 2 to take the glory.

Britain, Germany, Russia, China, Japan, Ottoman empire and France fought gallantly in those wars and became worn out after they expended so much on the war.

they are doing the same thing G.Bush did with Iraq. putting the country in recession in a war they have no business fighting in the first place.

Blueelf:


The second one is either a Major or a Lt Colonel

Colonel. Just saw the Eagle insignia. Was viewing the thread under the sun.

Modified:

Lt. Colonel. Check out the o6 on the patch close to his abdominal region, in between his comms.

how many of these faces will come back in body bags

kratosonofzeus:

$8 night vision? For where? Alaba market? Abeg I need 10 dozens

claremont:


Let me shed light on this as I see a lot of people are just guessing. These guys are getting deployed from Fort Bragg, NC, a safe military base in America, to an American base in Kuwait, a safe country. It will interest you to know that these guys will most likely not get deployed on this flight with any magazines or live rounds on their person whilst enroute to Kuwait. They will only be issued with magazines and live rounds when they need them at the armoury in the American base in Kuwait. This is standard practice with most Armies worldwide, and I'm yet to see any Army that deploys from one safe base to another with live rounds in an aircraft. The magazines and ammunition is transported separately by the Logistics Corps.

Source: I trained and lived with these guys years ago in a previous life in Fort Bragg, NC.

I know what I’m saying. If it’s the standard practice where you trained, it’s not the practice where I trained.

Your magazines (4) are issued to you at your unit along with your weapon. They are part of you. The issue under contention isn’t place where your ammo are issued rather where the magazines are placed.

They go in the belt pouches.

that why the US will always apply measures for deescalation of tensions to prevent escalation of aggression and tensions, the principle of secret diplomatic solutions would be applied.

Please what's the difference between US Army and Marines?

Stupid thing about these so called countries that like war-mongering is that they won't go and attack US directly. They will be looking for their allies. Go and fight Big Brother A. Don't go about beating Big Brother A's cousin. Why attack Kenya and US base in Kenya?

All mouth and puff puff, no bite War is bad, war is bad, dem no go hear.

movid:

US Marines is a branch of the US Navy. Works with the US Navy and Army in water and land.

slimthugchimee2:


Lol kits collected from them before they go to war? Which kind stupid nonsense you dey talk like this

Anyway here, Nigerian soldiers in the north east

Not bad... Can't see the green white green batch. How do we know they're nigerian soldiers?

I meant to type 3000. Sorry.

tundess:


I think you meant 3000 KIA, tens of thousands wounded ? Iran has roughly 4 times the population too of Iraq. Regime change from the air then is the only option.
Has it ever happened ? Libya 86 ? Nope. Serbia 99 ? Nope. Iraq, various times ? Nope.
To regime change, you need to get your hands dirty, ie, boots on ground. No way US tries that.
For those with spare time read the PNAC document from 1996. States clearly the aim.for the US is "full spectrum dominance". States also which countries are to be subjugated (Iraq, Syria, Lybia and Iran).
The chief of staff to late PM Ariel Sharon said the road to peace in the middle east led through Damascus to Tehran. Make of recent events, in the light of those aims, what you will.

Yeah. 3000 I meant.

OkpaNsukkaisBae:

Special forces. You need to know more about your country's military. They are strong though. Na politics dey finish us.
