Wait, are you suggesting that a bunch of fundies, praying at a temple, is a reasonable excuse to target high populated civilian areas, to maximize innocent deaths? Oh and add kidnapping to the list too.
Oh noes, they “Stormed the site and prayed.”
Better kill them all.
Wait, what!? How would this be a “huge strategic gain for the U.S.”?
You could argue that it’s a proxy conflict between the West and radicalized Muslim states. Sure. I would even listen to a discussion about rich elites using governments to keep areas destabilized in order to further their own fortunes.
But saying that somehow the U.S. would gain a huge strategic advantage is reaching.
What would the strategic value be? Is there oil there? Would they put a base there that somehow had more capabilities than facilities they already have in the area?
This isn’t 5D chess. This is two cultures that refuse to get along, being supported openly, and behind closed doors by larger nations.
Israel hates it’s neighboring countries for good reason. Those countries hate Israel for good reasons.
The human rights violations are disgusting and I support the freeing of Palestine.
But when you do shit like what the Hamas just did, you destroy any sort of moral high ground you may have had. Two wrongs don’t make a right, no matter what your culture is.
You can’t divorce Hamas from Palestine either, like some commentors are trying to do.
Tribalism at its worst.
People who agree with 2 don’t realize that they were those kids too and think that somehow there are kids somewhere that behave nicely because of perfect parenting.
Nope, most likely you just got to witness those kids on a bad day.
Save your judgement for yourself.
Yeah, for sure. I feel like she was one of the few that embraced it smartly. Not going all in, but but still capitalizing on its value without sucking it to cringe.
I had a professor that made us use LaTex for our lab reports. Kept telling us it is an industry standard. I knew it was bullshit.
Every time we had a guest speaker come and talk about their work (was in an EE program), I would ask if they used LaTex. ( I was bitter because I felt I was being forced to waste time learning something that I didn’t need to).
Every single one said no. Some didn’t even know what it was.
The professor always gave me a dirty look, but he never gave me shit about it, but he also never changed his policy.
I’ve been working as an EE for 3 years now and I have still never seen LaTex in the wild.
Yeah, I was left coast and Japan.
HS was a mix of SH-60F’s and HH-60H’s. But around 2010-2012, the F/B’s went away and the HS squadrons’ transitioned to MH-60’s, and the HSL squadrons’ went to the H-60R’s.
The HH-60H’s got their own squadrons’ that were specifically NSW support. East coast already had one, in VA, and they stood one up in SD.
HSC-84/85, I think. I also got out in 2012.
I came in to quote my own squadrons’ SH-60 readiness was typically 3 out of 6-7 birds. (SH-60F, so I’m old).
I had a pretty solid career , in the Navy, and now I am an electrical engineer, with a pretty awesome family, and we own our own home.
I have two siblings.
My older brother lives in a trailer, can’t keep a real job and only ever calls to ask for money.
My older sister has had six kids with four different men. I don’t take her calls because she just up and abandoned four of her kids. (Then had her sixth kid with the fourth father).
I have no idea how I avoided that white trash destiny and I am racked with “survivors guilt”.
Yeah, I got pinged twice, in one visit because I moved shit around, trying to organize.
Way more false positives, in my opinions.
