1940: Hitler cancels an attack in the West due to bad weather and the capture of German attack plans in Belgium. 1942: Japans advance into Burma begins. 1944: The U.S. First and Third armies link up at Houffalize, effectively ending the Battle of the Bulge. 1944: Eisenhower assumes supreme command of the Allied Expeditionary Force in Europe. 1945: Adolf Hitler takes to his underground bunker, where he remains for 105 days until he commits suicide. 1952: Knowing the requirements of the Korean war firsthand, General Earle E. Partridge, former Fifth Air Force Commander, put the full resources of the USAF Air Research and Development Command into searching for ways to increase the performance of the F-86 Sabre during this period. This top-priority effort led to the improved wing design "F" model that entered service with the 51st Wing in August 1952.

In addition, the F-86F could make tighter turns at high altitudes. 1964: President Johnson approves Oplan 34A, operations to be conducted by South Vietnamese forces supported by the United States to gather intelligence and conduct sabotage to destabilize the North Vietnamese regime. 1969: An agreement is reached in Paris for the opening of expanded peace talks.

Will never forget what Somalia did to our Blackhawk pilots and crew! Image is forever burned in my mind of them being dragged through the streets!!
use force and the US will lose its position of leadership. Lead from the moral high ground and 100% within all international law and you win - the terrorists lose. What did we achieve in 1972 in Northern Ireland with 2 Para opening fire ? Turned neutrals into enemies. Despite being one of the best units in the World 2 Para will be remembered for that as much as Goose Green or Arnhem.
why dont we just blow all of them mother fuckers up so we dont have to worrie about us getting fuckin bombed again.
you know what why not just blow them fuckers. just nuke them then we can live saftly
