Just read an article stating that there is now belief the earlier shelling of US forces on October 11th was INTENTIONAL by the Turks. Turkey’s artillery strikes on US forces were deliberate, current & former US officials say October 15, 2019 [link to americanmilitarynews.com (secure)] Key Points - Former U.S. Army Europe commander retired Lt. Gen. Mark Hertling doesn’t buy Turkey’s defense. On Saturday, he tweeted, “Turkey knows all US locations by grid coordinates. These are placed in artillery fire control computers as “no fire areas” or NFAs. Either TU artillery soldiers were incompetent, or this was a purposeful act to send a message to US and SDF/Kurds. Turkey fired on a NATO ally.” Current and former military service members who spoke to Military Times over the weekend said they don’t believe that Turkey could’ve inadvertently fired artillery on U.S. forces. One senior enlisted artillery soldier told Military Times anonymously that NFA’s would’ve been clearly marked before firing, “especially when firing in an area with high chance collateral damage.” If the Turks are shelling US positions again, its time to Fire Back!!!! |

That is some heart breaking shit right there! Iraq-Bound Troops Confront Rumsfeld Over Lack of Armor CAMP BUEHRING, Kuwait, Dec. 8 - In an extraordinary exchange at this remote desert camp, Defense Secretary Donald H. Rumsfeld found himself on the defensive today, fielding pointed questions from Iraq-bound troops who complained that they were being sent into combat with insufficient protection and aging equipment. --- A few minutes later, a soldier from the Idaho National Guard's 116th Armor Cavalry Brigade asked Mr. Rumsfeld what he and the Army were doing "to address shortages and antiquated equipment" National Guard soldiers heading to Iraq were struggling with. Mr. Rumsfeld seemed taken aback by the question and a murmur began spreading through the ranks before he silenced them. "Now settle down, settle down," he said. "Hell, I'm an old man, it's early in the morning and I'm gathering my thoughts here." ---- Nonetheless, he warned that equipment shortages would probably continue to bedevil some American forces entering combat zones like Iraq. "You go to war with the army you have, not the army you might want or wish to have at a later time," Mr. Rumsfeld said. [link to www.nytimes.com (secure)] |
