And what does that has to do with someone having a house in Dubai or whatever country you mentioned? All I'm saying is, i bet there is a thread on this site to air such grievances, on here, we are here for a reason, and it's not to read about people ranting on and on about corruption or perceived lies, so why not use discussion threads that deal with such issues? Hey I'm just saying, that said, carry go Chief, ain't stopping ya, just don't get the point, not like anyone here was born yesterday, why scream over something when no one is listening.

If we go into the heart of the matter with regards to this unnecessary prolonged war of attrition with Boko Haram. The over riding issue is CORRUPTION that canker worm affects everything and has given Boko undue advantage where there should be none.

Therefore the activities of Buratai on and off the battlefield are INTRINSICALLY PERTINENT & LINKED.


Nothing in all the world is more dangerous than sincere ignorance and conscientious stupidity. Martin Luther King, Jr.

What i find shocking is the deep seated lack of knowledge with the over sight function of our political structure legislative and executive with regards to our armed forces.

Consider the bold how did you come to this conclusion.

It's public knowledge, and something the military always complains about. There are people within the local communities who usually inform BH about military movements, usually those people are family or associates of BH members, sometimes they are BH members who embed themselves into the populace.

People of that area have very complex motivations.

I never said i had issue what the guy's point, i said take political rantings someplace else, there are bunch of threads for it.
Who didn't know there is corruption in the military? that isn't news, spewing political garbage is tiring, people who wanna do that should go to relevant threads and do so, and no one will get effed off about it, Enough said

People of that area have very complex motivations.

There is whole strata of military strategy with regards supply and logistics as well as operational movements proactive and reactionary. That the public simply will not know about. A lot of those movement evolve with the situation with commanders of those operations recce or kill missions, etc and are not exactly known prior.

When you have a forward operational base it's not a secret it's common knowledge. In this regard you will have a whole range of contingency plans with regard to your base being attacked. It's not something of a surprise it's actually something you expect. Your entire communication infrastructure gives you situational awareness and the ability for powerful offensive response.

Therefore if you are expecting it you can not suprised, you are PREPARED for it. Effective Contingency with multiple scenarios responses.

It's the same principle with an AMBUSH you are in a war zone and so expect to be ambushed. It's your response to the ambush thar determines superiority which shouldn't be just defensive but offensive.

It's quote common practice by the NA in the NE to take great solace and strength in numbers.

Going in huge convoys of 30 plus vehicles with the majority of those vehicles soft skinned. It's not rocket science to projects where they are going to or coming from.

But the other disturbing component is that we use well worn pathways or roads very often. That makes it easy to set up ambush, IED"s, etc.

One of the characteristics of your supply and logistics management and strategy. Never pass the same route twice in succession.

However, if you don't have the fit for purpose armoured vehicles and offensive precision weaponry with FLIR then you are in VERY WEAK position.

We currently do not have a definitive IFV that is fit for purpose where is your overriding advantage. Our combatants are going into a kill zone in soft skinned vehicles.

Operation Serval lasted for two years plus by the French to neutralise the Islamic Maghreb in Mali. Although it took them less than 30 days to finish off the Islamic Maghreb. Can l ask you how many casualties they French suffered in total

4 US soldiers were lost in Niger, a clear case of irresponsible mission creep by thier standards. That caused a congressional investigation.

Have the required sub committee in our two legislative houses taken stock of what is happening or not happening in the NE. I very much doubt.

IMO the problem is not information being leaked to Boko but our own lack of Infrastructural communication and fit for purpose equipment on all levels.

And if the people are aligning themselves with Boko is it by choice or the reality of blood thirsty coercion by Boko. Which may have resulted from our failure to guarantee thier security particularly in the rural areas .

In many cases they have no choice can they truly rely on the NA to protect them against Boko. Questions yoi really didn't consider or ask.

JUST IN: Troops Detonate Boko Haram Terrorists IED. At about 1 p.m today 13 January 2019, Gallant Troops of 222 Battalion Konduga, on clearance patrol with the Improvised Explosive Device (IED) Scanning Team, operating along Konduga-Aulari Road,recovered Improvised Explosive Devices planted by BHTs along Kawuri-Aulari Road. The IEDs were successfully detonated. Pictures below.

lol, i think i brushed this morning, but will check again.
If you are intelligent enough to read, and comprehend what you read, then you'd understand that I'm not faulting your concerns, I'm saying there are threads created for it, why do you guys insist on coming to the wrong thread to spew political and biased stuff? ha.
This is a forum, don't get so upset and start throwing tantrums, ain't that serious bro
Remember what i thought you? Breathe, slowly, clear your mind, and go to your happy place.

Just wanted to know how you guys interpret it, depending on setting, redneck is typically a racial slur against a white person, so that's why i asked, out here that's not a word i can use in public, but i often see certain terms used on there, that if spoken on the street, will def be termed racist, "Chinko" comes to mind, I've seen folks use that here several times, anyways, just wanted to know what the military term for redneck means.

Odunayaw:
Colonel upwards

But shouldn't there be a bomb suit for bomb squad detonating bombs

GeneralFarouq:

Did u guys see the soldier with the grim ripper mask,
Not the first time seeing soldiers wearing it in an operation why is that allowed "grim reaper"

I think Most of these joint operations are carried out by a task force formed of soldiers drawn from the navy, army and even Air Force , so the guys from elite unites might feel the need to hide their identities, for example there’s a guy there with an SBS face cap.

No it's not. Cracka, peckerwood or Honky is akin to Nigga. Redneck is akin to calling a black person ghetto or hood. It goes along with calling a white person trailer trash.

And yet your only issue with my statement was it's comparison to the N word?
Even when what you just said in the bolded, made clear it isn't a term people wanna throw around, how's that different from what i was trying to say? Moving on, good for you sir
