Well the USN has not seen to attack a noncombatant civilian vessel in the area yet. So no.

Say what? No munitions in any magazine? That seems to be carelessly reckless to bordering criminal negligence.

I’m not sure how old you are, but those of us who served in from the 80’s to 2000’s will remember the rather Byzantine JAG interpretation of Self Defense ruling for FYR operations. Enemy Combatants who dispersed firing positions were deemed to no longer be a threat unless they had resumed...

I suspect you have not seen any of the recent Mk48 guidance systems. You may want to do some googling on OS LocMart releases.

Well to be fair to the Eagles, they didn’t expect their “own” linebacker to blitz them…

Not sure I’d want to put all (or anymore) eggs into the 8x8 basket.

I would not lump the entire country as a whole into the mindset of thecurrent administration

Probably to get away from the IRGC crazies who are waving guns at them...

Not many folks I know can just pickup a Mk19 or GMG and hand it back to someone...

My daughter prefers the M240 Suppressed -- she's 14 :ROFLMAO: I told her she needs a job to pay for the ammo, that she wants to shoot...
