The journey that COVID-19 will take us on

If you read a few articles or books by military experts you’ll quickly find a common theme that their forces are largely incompetent show ponies. Lacking in courage and ability.
Even their alleged terror masterminds turned up to the biggest hijacking of their careers with Stanley knives.... prob so they didn’t accidently cut themselves....]

What a stupid fucking comment - there was no lack of courage or ability on the hijackers part. They got the knives onto the planes undetected, they successfully took three of the four planes to the intended targets, two of which were completely destroyed. A kill count of over 3000. Pretty fucking good in their eyes. And they were not the terror masterminds, that person was sitting back in Afghanistan or Pakistan

Describe an action by the US even slightly near as effective in terms of outcomes and cost

I think he's talking more about the Iraqi and Iranian Military in terms of their Courage and ability.

I've read varying things on the Iraqi military. From the conscript soldiers showing the white flag at the first sign of battle all the way up to the Republican Guard giving the US a damn good fight in some instances.


I was reading something else a while ago about Conscript Armies vs Volunteer armies from a Mathematical stand point - the conclusion was that given enough time and Men, a Volunteer army will always be successful. The reasoning being that Manpower that could otherwise be used for either Offensive, Defensive or Logistical duties (in a Volunteer Army) had to be used to simply keep Order and prevent desertion in a Conscript Army.

"biggest hijacking of their careers with Stanley knives" could only mean one thing.

I mean, I'll let him confirm himself, but being two separate sentences, I took to be two separate ideas.

I don't think R650 is capable of two separate ideas at the same time

I didn’t think you were capable of being a terrorist sympathiser... but you just called the alleged 911 hijackers courageous....

FWIW I was definitely referrring to Saudi military’s shortcomings and as a follow on the incompetence off the hijackers....

But they have money to buy good equipment. And plenty of volunteers to use it.

And how would one stop being a Human?

Being human in those countries is overrated. They still wouldn't trust you.

Fresh numbers in - sobering reading for the unvacinated....

I dunno, I've got a very bitching Beard, so I think that would get me some Kudos.

Maybe even a couple of Wives and a Goat.

its interesting how it doesn't quite gel with the R650R prophecies....... maybe the medical and scientific communities know more than a min wage truck driver.

Just an idea, get over your fascination with the guys employment and stop being a cunt about it, you've bleated on about it long enough and it's getting fucking tedious

It's an idea but not one i will be running with. I am not demeaning the profession. My dad drove a truck for years.
I'm simply pointing out when he infers he knows more than doctors or scientists, he is not actually qualified to suggest for a second he does.
Maybe you might want to find a post of his where he's not being a troll or posting utter garbage.
but granted, i am a cunt. But so are you.

Yeah, but the thing is, Experts have been wrong before. Catastrophically wrong. In the face of 'Common sense' and 'Conventional Wisdom'.

Sometimes the Scientists and Doctors do get it wrong.

Case in point - the Predictive models for the number of COVID cases have been out in the best case scenario by a factor of 2.

And a regular person look at the predicted results and the actual results saying 'Maybe you don't know as much as you claim to do' is more than justified.
