Quote:The latest intel that I have received is that the USS Vincennes, far from having been scrapped, has been in the Mediterranean Sea and lobbing shells to test the "Iron Dome" the US has been constructing to save Israel from destruction when the waves of missiles are directed her way after an assault on Iran!
Okay,we have a problem.There has been a picture posted on another forum that is "allegedly" the USS Vincennes being scrapped out.I have asked Mr.Fetzer to comment on this.He has again disappeared.
Quote: As The New York Times (17 January 2012) has recently reported, the major joint US/Israeli op that had been planned has subsequently been cancelled, where some have inferred that it was because they could no longer target the Vincennes. My latest info is that she has been replaced by the USS Enterprise, an aging nuclear-powered carrier that has suffered the effects of long-term radiation exposure to its steel and appears to be the replacement target of choice.
Oh,I see.Now,we have a ship swap.That takes care of that USS Vincennes problem,eh?
Tank Movements:
Quote:Christof replied that, "from a soldier's perspective I can follow your reasoning, of course. There are some modifications I would like you to consider, however which is based on what we are getting via Russian Intelligence Chatter that the US is modifying its tank warfare tactics to adopt a kind of Blitzkrieg approach such as the Germans were using.
I also have to disagree about the supposed armor blitzkrieg scenario.The fact is the Army is moving away from this kind of warfare.Heavy armor is being downsized significantly,because with todays weaponry,these vehicles are basically sitting ducks.The longtime Armor School at Fort Knox where I trained,is being moved down to Fort Benning I believe(the Patton Museum stays at Ft.Knox).No,we will not be seeing anymore big armor battles.Does anyone think the US wants to pay to ship all those tanks to the Middle East so they can get blown to shit?I guess some people do............
