And they apparently have the corporate structure in place to start taking orders. Operators are manning the phones.

Best defence is an engaged and supportive population - one that is supportive of the government.

Great video, but will it make a difference? I am going to guess that the C2 and accommodations were not adjacent to the ammo storage area and that the ammo was bermed off. Casualties limited? Ammo replaceable?

This young lass... I hope she is still alive. That video was at least a few weeks old. I can't remember when I first saw it. Suppose she is still alive and has her cell phone. The US and Israel are parked in the neighbourhood with secure supply lines and access to 1000 km hand grenades that...

What level of coincidence would you suggest relative the high proportion of Islamist Pro-Palestinian Pakistanis in the City of London and Bradford?

No government machine guns in evidence....

Coming soon to a Canadian city near you: The Iranian Truth and Reconcialiation Commission.

If they are counting pizzas going to the Pentagon, do you think it might be a tell if the Trump showed up there as well?

The way we got to the 40mm and the 35mm was they were introduced on top of all the other calibers that were in use at the time of introduction. They proved effective and thus popular. They were more effective than some and less effective than others. When they broke down or ran out of...

You can't get there from here. Not in any reasonable timeline. I am as big a fan of the USARNG system as you. But the reason the US was able to field NG Armoured Brigades was a combination of a high level of regular support, including, as you say a strong regular cadre, in the unit structure...

But not everybody in Canada is a Canadian. And even the Mounties might need a ride from time to time.

The Tank Destroyer and the Assault Gun I always perceived as the continuation of the old Field Guns that served on line with the Sabres and the Rifles. They brought a Direct Fire heavy weight round to the fight that could be judiciously applied against discrete Line of Sight targets. The 25...

Westphalia is in Europe. I have a Phillips school atlas of mine that my parents bought for me in 1963 when I was 7. A lot of countries, Saudi among them, had indeterminate borders. Some disappeared when you left the coast and vanished into desert sands, mountains and jungles. The Bedu, the...

Further to... 10 such units, one per regional "brigade" would cost $36,000,000. 3 per brigade would require sacrificing one F35. What can the Navy buy for $100,000,000, let alone $36,000,000?

It would be a win just to get Prairie Fella's 450 all on parade on the same day with all the same $2000-worth of uniforms and $6000-worth of weapons and "ammunition" that was claimed was necessary to supply the 300,000. $3,600,000 investment in those 450.

And Europe has a perfectly viable 40mm family with a 90 year history of multi-domain kills if they want to go that route. They seem happy with the Bushmaster 35 as a compromise knowing what they know now.

Fun fact, the capital city of Pakistan was built from 1960 under Ayub Khan. It is the City of Islam. Islamabad.
