    There's a term for people who have actually read the Bible: atheist

    I'm so sorry

    Listen, we don't want "forever wars" we just want wars that can be "fought forever." Totally different.

    Also, what exactly is the “super high end” of military weapons?

    Dude is so unhinged, the “I had to use nukes, it’s Biden’s fault” defense isn’t outside the realm of possibility

    Wait a minute, a couple of years ago, all the right wing news outlets were saying that our weapons stockpiles were almost depleted because we were giving too much to Ukraine?

    Which is it?

    “We have the best stranded Americans, they tell me this they say ‘Trump, you have the greatest Americans, and they’re everywhere,” I have ‘em everywhere, but you listen to the fake news CNN and they don’t tell you that.

    I love how a $1.1B radar station in a US Base was wiped out with a single Iranian missile.

    Surely that's pennies in comparison to the money we saved by DOGE destroying US science.

    The footage of a US sub sinking an Iranian ship is surreal. The last footage we have of a sub hitting a ship has to be from WWII.

    Here's a fun submarine fact: in the history of warfare, the number of times one submarine has sunk another submarine while both were submerged is exactly 1. Despite it showing up in like every submarine movie ever, it's essentially not a thing in the real world.

    Did he get hounded after the ASVAB? My brother scored in some amazing percentile, and the navy called him all the time after that to pump up the nuclear subs.

    Just saw the footage... fucking hell!

    Those torpedoes sure pack a punch! I cannot imagine being on that ship when it went off like that.

    Grainy quality, but the explosion of the hull is incredible.

    I have no idea, but he's hitting his 20 years next year. As far as I know, he spent his entire time just working his way through the enlisted ranks.

    There's photos online of a UK sub sinking an Argentinian ship during the Falklandd war. It wouldn't surprise me if the UK MoD has video of it, but never released it.

    I did when I was enlisting. They REALLY wanted me in Comms and Engineering because of my line scores.

    I’m already tired of Hegseth all but jerking off at these DOD briefings.
