Not satisfied with the embarrassment of the failure of our magic super weapons in Ukraine, not embarrassed by the failure to destroy an illiterate, untrained, Turd World enemy in over 20 years in Afghanistan - and finally surrendering as they chased us outta town (leaving behind 13 dead men and thousands of friendlies who mistakenly collaborated with us, in addition to $85B of modern weapons that might work), and now illegally subsidizing this “enemy” with about $160M per month, now we’re gonna show the world we can’t even build a causeway to land goods onshore.
You just KNOW how excited Taiwan will be about that.
We USED TO HAVE a tried & true way to land materiel: the LST, or Landing Ship, Tank. We used it all over the Pacific in the island hopping campaign, in Italy and Normandy Beach. My dad was on one throughout WW2, participating in 21 first assault landings in the Pacific. That was back when we fought to win rather than forever wars to enrich The Complex and its insider traders in congress.
The brainiacs in the Pentagram, however, no longer have any LSTs. Now we have LOTS: Logistics Over The Shore. A fancy acronym for the fantasy we can A) transfer at sea vehicles and munitions and food to smaller ships and B) build a pier on contested ground at which C) those smaller ships can dock & unload, while under fire. And not even use SeaBees trained for this…
HAHAHAHAHA…
History lesson: America was exceptionally good at logistics once. It’s how we won our wars.
That we now excel in PowerPoints and fantasy and no longer even bother to try to win tells you all you need to know about why our service academies are useless. (I was USAFA ‘76.)
The Army even has its own Navy to do this: a bucket with a max speed of 12 knots, commanded by a Warrant Officer. It already left CONUS and will be on-scene in several weeks. The Navy probably decided against embarrassing itself with this nonsense, but does anyone believe the Army will build something without “boots on the ground” to defend the troops (on the ground) building it?
DementiaJoe Biden has “promised” we can build a pier without “boots on the ground.” This is so absurd as to be unworthy of comment. It does, however, beg a few questions.
When Gazans rush the American ship delivering the American aid to get away from the American munitions the IDF is dropping from American jets or firing on them from American artillery… who’s gonna stop them? How?
With Gazans all over the place, how will they get this causeway built? Do they imagine doing this on bombed-out Gaza will match their practice runs on Norfolk or San Diego beaches?
What’s our plan when a “stray” Israeli bomb or missile blows up several yards of this “causeway?”
Does anyone remember the USS Liberty?
DementiaJoe is an international embarrassment. Now that his handlers have surrounded the screaming old man with morons who know nothing about logistics or combat, all to gain a few more votes from Somalia-North in Dearborn, the bastard is just going to embarrass America on the international stage. Again.
If we’re lucky, the bodies of the American men BananaJoe is about to waste won’t be brought home on a Boeing aircraft.
Thank a Biden voter.
And men can be women and give birth and women can be men too. They just havent imagined the impregnation part.
No one in congress will do anything. They all have their hands in the cookie jar or are so caught up in their power and self importance that satifies their needs.
My focus now is to prepare for the inevitable. It is going to get ugly.
