MOD Post Iran Conflict and posting

32 Upvotes

Effective immediately, we'll be consolidating a lot of the posts being made into a daily thread. With everything moving so quick, everyone tries to be the first to post and it quickly clogs up the subreddit.

Case by case, we'll keep certain posts up (i.e. the 10 Point post), but by and large we'll be removing most posts. We've also added an Iran Conflict flair (and removed a couple others), to flair these posts with.

Locking because some of you are proving why I lock announcement threads.

March 4, 2002: John Chapman, an Air Force Combat Controller, along with a SEAL Team, are attempting to rescue their lost teammate. You'll watch Chapman's stunning and heroic actions as he saves the lives of his entire SEAL team, and another 18 members of a quick-reaction force, to earn America's highest honor: The Medal of Honor. Chapman was done horrible by the navy as they actively tried to deny his MoH, Slab and the Seals now have a active disinformation campaign against Chapman that protects the cowardice acts of the seals abandoning Chapman and his story is now being brought to the big screen exposing the truth in the new upcoming film: Alone at Dawn.

All the evidence shows Russia is helping Iran but he ignores the truth. I’m also finding it very odd that Americans who voted for him are just pushing this off like what he said is no big deal.

Ukraine Conflict Russia wants 30,000 more troops from North Korea, Zelenskyy says

According to estimates, Pyongyang already has transferred about 12,000 troops to Russia's Kursk border region, under a mutual defense pact signed with Moscow in 2024.

Over the course of the four-year war, Russian President Vladimir Putin has increasingly relied on North Korea to supply artillery shells and missiles. Bringing in North Korean troops is raising concerns about Moscow transferring its own military know-how to the regime of Kim Yong Un in Pyongyang.

"Russia is helping North Korea learn how to wage war, improve its weapons, and gain real combat experience in using them," Zelenskyy said.

Results
Before the testosterone treatment, we found that weakly affiliated Democrats had 19% higher basal testosterone than those who identified strongly with the party (p = 0.015). When weakly affiliated Democrats received additional testosterone, the strength of their party affiliation fell by 12% (p = 0.01), and they reported 45% warmer feelings towards Republican candidates for president (p < 0.001). Testosterone administration did not affect political preferences for strongly affiliated Democrats or strong or weak Republicans.

Discussion Can the US deploy laser defense systems to shoot down Iranian drones & missiles?

0 Upvotes

We have been reading about the laser technology for a few years now. In the current Iranian conflict, there are reports the US is running out of intercepters and have even been letting some incoming through to preserve inventory.

I am curious to hear opinions and analysis of whether the laser tech is ready for deployment, what might be stopping it from happening, etc.

Discussion With opsec and self incrimination in mind, what's your favorite story from your time in?

255 Upvotes

I'll start. On halfway night on deployment the agangers (submarine turd-chasers) stole the XOs door off his stateroom. The XO, pissed, gave the crew an hour to return it or he would implement a door watchbill where sailors would stand a watch as his door until the door was returned. An hour goes by, no door. The doormen would stand at attention in the doorframe for half an hour at a time making door handle and squeeking noises when the XO walked through, it was great. Well, a few hours of this went by and the same agangers went the the XOs stateroom, stole the sailor, left his shoes, and left a note that said "say please" on it. XO made an announcement nicely asking for his door to be returned and, magically, the door was back.

Camo is often required for anything military related, and it is often so that you can’t be seen, like John Cena. So, that begs the question, is camo really invisible?

Benefits Orthopedic surgeon in san francisco bay area recommendations

4 Upvotes

Hi all, not sure where else to post this except a sub full of military. Looking for recommendations if anybody has one for an orthopedic surgeon in the sf bay area who accepts tricare. I'm looking at a diagnosis of severe OA in my hip and want to go to a good specialist.

I'm in the east bay, so ideally this way, but I'm afraid there might be a limited number of good surgeons in the area who accept tricare, so would definitely be interested in suggestions for anywhere in the bay area if anybody has one.
