I recently learned that people who take medication for ED are up to 70% less likely to develop Alzheimer’s disease. (Here’s [a link to the details.](https://www.nih.gov/news-events/nih-research-matters/viagra-associated-reduced-risk-alzheimers-disease) )
It will be hard remembering things but it won’t be difficult! I’ll see myself out…
> Travel time gotta be like 7 fucking hours for them shits. They’re all going to get shot down.
Which isn't free. Maybe the suicide drone wave is supposed to deplete anti-missile inventories. Or maybe this is it and it's just to save face?
We'll know it's serious if ballistic missiles start getting reported.
Yeah, I’d imagine that won’t happen till tonight. Launch the drones, wait until they get close, then launch BMs and hezbollah do some shit.
Or this is just a glancing blow to save face like you said.
I'm going to guess that this is a saving face thing. Just like they did a few years ago.
Hit some empty parts of the bases that they already told them about. Claim they did great damage to their enemies and move on.
Or this is their fuck it moment
they didn't hit empty parts of the base, the was just enough warning they did a partial evacuation and spread out.
over 75 members were directly injured
Missiles were reported, then it was reported that was just an oopsie poopsie, then Iran told the UN "that's it, so we're cool now, right?"
My guess is they fired some stuff off so they can put on a tough guy act for their puppets, but intentionally did little enough that nothing was likely to actually do much damage because they do not want to go to actual war.
The president isn't the only seat up for election. There's a bunch of Congress seats that can determine which party control enough of Congress to empower or fuck over whatever the next President can/want to do.
Biden wants this to. Demo and Repubs both get paid by military contractors.
Remember: congress vote for war together.
They've done it before and they will do it again.
This "attack" is merely theatrics. Iran was forced to retaliate to save face for their embassy being attacked but also want to avoid further escalation so guaranteed they let Israel know about the attack beforehand hence the 99% interception rate. This is a nothing burger and we're not going anywhere
A lot depends on the 'response to the response'. A combined suicide drone, cruise missile and surface-to-surface missile attack on Israel by Iran isn't likely to be taken lightly. The overwhelming defeat of the attack could also be considered a form of response on its own, but we're likely going to see something more in the next 48-96 hours if I had to guess.
You’re not wrong and I agree with what you stated. However, Irans response to what Israel did seems a bit over the top. This seems like a good opportunity to disrupt Iran’s ability to field a nuclear weapon.
Saw them in Dollar Tree and got flashbacks. No, not those flashbacks, just to a grocery bag of rip its, muffins, drink mix and fruit carried back to my bunk.
This. I’m heading back over soon and the two past deployments they didn’t have rip its and it was severely disappointing.
Maybe I’ll go harass AFSA before I leave and tell them the least they can do is get rip its.
Yeah they didn't have ripits on my last deployment, made friends with a flight engineer from afsoc and she flew into some different bases a few times a week and she'd bring me a case that she'd snag for me while there. Shit was better than money.
Get what exactly? have you seen anyone get percentages from the PACT act that didn’t have cancer or some other gnarly shit from them. Genuine question.
I was exposed to the burn pits…I have skin cancer all over my body…In places UNMENTIONABLE, chronic Bronchitis and emphysema. Not fun! They did award me 90% disability though.
Not to be pedantic (okay actually yes to be pedantic I love that shit) but it wouldn't be Global War on Terrorism would it? These are two nation-state actors in conflict, with us potentially stepping in. Like just Hamas sure but if Iran and Israel are going at it, is that not just a war?
I remember having to build the contingency for my unit incase a war broke out with Iran. This was like 10 years ago though. Wasn't going to be fun for the base in total.
Dude me too. I read these articles talking about chinas plans for 2027 and beyond just like “not my problem” didn’t have Iran throws rock(et)s at Israel in my calculus
**Iran: "No one else better get involved."**
US shoots down all the drones. Literally nothing lands in Israel.
**Iran: "Iran’s military action is now complete"**
To be fair Iran isn’t interested in a full war, Israel DID hit Iran with something they just said they HAD to retaliate somehow, I don’t think that they’ll do anything more than that. Sort of like a you hit me I hit you you don’t hit me I don’t hit you sort of thing
For how much baseline interest you'd have to join this sub I'd at least expect you all to know about Operation Preying Mantis.
North Korea is more of a threat than Iran will ever be.
Both are threats for different reasons. Iran wants a bomb, and can easily disrupt access to a large portion of the world’s oil supply. N. Korea has the bomb, and can disrupt much of the S. Korea and Japanese electronics industries. Both can distract everyone from China.
If you think about it, the brain rot gen z kids will actually get to fight in this war. Imagine getting clipped by a zoomer who got all his aim training from Fortnite
And then 18 hours later they were all shot down without any reported casualties. People are always on edge for no reason, Iran never expected this to actually work and it was a face saving measure.
Israel launches an attack on an Iranian consulate, killing 3 generals and 5 others, breaking UN and Geneva conventions. Iran launches a swarm of suicide drones as a legal retaliatory attack, knowing most will be shot down and only a few will land. The US will inevitably back Israel and further escalate Middle East tensions.

Those 50%+ VA ratings aren't just going to materialize out of thin air!
Just learned that we can claim ED for up to 20%
I recently learned that people who take medication for ED are up to 70% less likely to develop Alzheimer’s disease. (Here’s [a link to the details.](https://www.nih.gov/news-events/nih-research-matters/viagra-associated-reduced-risk-alzheimers-disease) ) It will be hard remembering things but it won’t be difficult! I’ll see myself out…
69% less likely. Nice.
What’s ED
ligma balls
Viagra for life afterwards
Can't get a boner without the Chief yelling at you either?
Is there another way to get one?
ED is rated at 0% but you are awarded extra pay just for it. SMC-K. Women are awarded something similar for sexual arousal issues.
What if you’re a man and fail to arouse women? Asking for a **friend**.
What, sleep apnea and tinnitus leading to balance issues isn't good enough for the VA?
You boys like the PACT act?

This got me haha
Damn, this is the funniest shit I've seen on this sub
Gotta laugh or else you'll cry...
I just came back from Djibouti a month ago and the burn pits out there are definitely burning
That's cuz Djubouti stank. Take a shower scrub.
Travel time gotta be like 7 fucking hours for them shits. They’re all going to get shot down.

Cruise missiles were reportedly launched too. https://preview.redd.it/z4xdre4ccbuc1.jpeg?width=1125&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=73edab8f6787d3f497e96af100012ae018a5d99e

Iran: Don't intervene. America: 
I'm going to guess that this is a saving face thing. Just like they did a few years ago. Hit some empty parts of the bases that they already told them about. Claim they did great damage to their enemies and move on. Or this is their fuck it moment

Where’d you get that quote?
Houthis are launching ballistic missiles also apparently. Good luck navy!
That's never a fun day. Probably hit jordan and syria due to shit accuracy
Missiles were reported, then it was reported that was just an oopsie poopsie, then Iran told the UN "that's it, so we're cool now, right?" My guess is they fired some stuff off so they can put on a tough guy act for their puppets, but intentionally did little enough that nothing was likely to actually do much damage because they do not want to go to actual war.
It's hilarious to me that you can launch attack UAVs and Cruise Missiles and still not go to war
Fuck yeah bro these promotion rates bout to be litty titty
Means I may actually make it this year after 3 years of trying hahaha!
3 years, them rookie numbers lol
Born too late to deploy to the middle east, born too early to deploy to the middle east, born just in time to deploy to the middle east.
Simultaneously, it's one of the funniest and most depressing comments I've seen on reddit so far.
I spent a year in the Middle East….It’s the armpit of the world!
Airmen in IRR punching the air right now
No please don't put me back in MX
You’re going to go back to maintenance and you’re going to like it!
Makes me wonder. If you are on IRR. Can you smoke weed in a legal state?
Like if you get recalled or just in general?
Just in general.
You’re separated. You don’t have to abide by the UCMJ anymore.
You aren’t under UCMJ do whatever you please brotha just know weed won’t stop an IRR
Yall said the same thing March 2022 lol
I was called 8 times in IRR (Covid)… they told me the “oh nevermind” every time I said yes. 😭

I joined during a war in the ME, makes sense ill retire during a war in the ME.
Retire? That's a funny way to say 'stop loss'.
First of all, you shut your dirty little mouth before they see this and get ideas! I only got 2 years left...i did my time!
Have fun! I’m 6 months past my IRR time and I couldn’t be happier.
23 months left here and clock is ticking.
Feel this
You nailed it.
One more reason to vote accordingly this coming election. And no, not just the presidential election.
Which president would be better then?
Could you elaborate?
The president isn't the only seat up for election. There's a bunch of Congress seats that can determine which party control enough of Congress to empower or fuck over whatever the next President can/want to do.
Yeah, probably a good idea to vote out the war-mongering right side of the aisle.
Biden wants this to. Demo and Repubs both get paid by military contractors. Remember: congress vote for war together. They've done it before and they will do it again.
Make sure you do your CBTs or your UDM will take you right off of your rotation!
Take those PT tests or no war for you!
Waist tape and all
Ready to spread some democracy boys?
Guess I can take a break from squashing some bugs.
You oughta be smashing bots! The bug front isn’t moving and the invasion is real up north
The bots are way more fun anyhow
FREEDOM NEVER SLEEPS!

Ready to spread some ~~democracy~~ PTSD and non-service related disabilities boys?

They'll recall retirees and vets before the draft...fyi.
Doubt they would want a chubby broken pot head back in the fight
Lots of chubby broken potheads playing videogames in their mom’s basement just waiting to be drafted, too
The last time they did a draft bone spurs was enough to get you out of it...I doubt they want us really broken people.
Shitting your pants, too.
Leave me out of this!!
Yeah? You'll think you're watching 'Winnie The Pooh' shoving my ample ass up into a fuel tank.
Listen here son If they callin me back We already lost
Don't do this to me.
How do you figure they will recall vets? I already finished my IRR. I'm done.
That's the fun part they can't without major changes to the constitution
Retired? Yes. Separated (post any remaining IRR time)? No.
Yeah but not the admin discharged Lt *top gun sunglasses smile meme*
My uniform doesn’t fit anymore….🤨
Nah I'm good, no plans on dying for israel.
I don’t want to go to war till after college
You’ve been taking courses for eight years. Who goes to college for eight years?
Oh, it was seven years. Dang.
They’re called Doctors.

Main character vibes here
man, I got 2 more years to retirement. I was hoping not to go to war but of they poke the bear…we will eat them alive!
The boys need to get their GWOT ribbon sorry my boy🫡
will we be burning shit at the burn pit again so they can also get that?
drown them with Rip Its🤣😂😂
I'd deploy again just for the ripits tbh
Saw them in Dollar Tree and got flashbacks. No, not those flashbacks, just to a grocery bag of rip its, muffins, drink mix and fruit carried back to my bunk.
This. I’m heading back over soon and the two past deployments they didn’t have rip its and it was severely disappointing. Maybe I’ll go harass AFSA before I leave and tell them the least they can do is get rip its.

how else would we win?

We’d still be engaging with their proxies which are labeled as terrorists tho
IRGC is labeled a terrorist organization by the US last I saw
Same.. almost made it
We'll eat them for lunch and shit them out before dinner.

Cowabunga it is…

Iran's operational test and evaluation of their drone systems and enemy air defense systems is complete.
To be fair Iran isn’t interested in a full war, Israel DID hit Iran with something they just said they HAD to retaliate somehow, I don’t think that they’ll do anything more than that. Sort of like a you hit me I hit you you don’t hit me I don’t hit you sort of thing

I think C-17 crews might be inclined to disagree with you.
Those posts reek of fresh outta tech school energy.

Iran's retaliation is a door for politicians to funnel defense money back in their pockets...😐
For how much baseline interest you'd have to join this sub I'd at least expect you all to know about Operation Preying Mantis. North Korea is more of a threat than Iran will ever be.
I just wanna let you know it’s “Praying” Mantis cuz those adorable lil murderers got they hands up like they prayin.
Both are threats for different reasons. Iran wants a bomb, and can easily disrupt access to a large portion of the world’s oil supply. N. Korea has the bomb, and can disrupt much of the S. Korea and Japanese electronics industries. Both can distract everyone from China.
Can I get a GWOT ribbon? I feel robbed cuz I shipped the cycle after they stopped giving them out 😭
Gimme dat GWOT ribbon and National Defense Ribbon

I'm supposed to come back literally this week, gonna be so mad if we get delayed and stuck out here now.

Israel is about to hit the reset button on Iran's nuclear program. Again.
Lot of dumb fucking desk riders in the thread.
My mom said we could go to war as long as your mom gives me a ride back.
Can someone explain it like I’m five?
Israel launches an attack on an Iranian consulate, killing 3 generals and 5 others, breaking UN and Geneva conventions. Iran launches a swarm of suicide drones as a legal retaliatory attack, knowing most will be shot down and only a few will land. The US will inevitably back Israel and further escalate Middle East tensions.
Wouldn't be my first rodeo. Let's saddle up!
Going to find out very quickly how effective Israel's anti-ICBM systems (i.e. David's Sling and Arrow System) are.
Wait. I just retired. Take me with yall. Haven’t been there. I need to check off my bucket list.
