Another attack on a American base in iraq
Last edited:
This is the kind of thing which might draw us into the war, which seems to be the purpose. So far our air-defense systems have done well with little of the incoming reaching the target, but enough has gotten through to injure 21 of our servicemen and one civilian contractor died of a heart attack while sheltering. It's inevitable we will lose a serviceman or more and soon- what will we do then?Another attack on a American air base in iraq
They know that most rockets won't get through. I think it's in hope that some will get by and do some damage.Wondering if these little rocket attacks on these bases are just probes for a larger attack or to see the air defense capabilities
I've seen enough evidence (can't post for obvious reasons) to come to the conclusion that there's no good side in this war.
That said, this may be one of the single most horrifying Tweets (I'll never call them anything else) I've ever seen precisely due to the "nothing is scarier" effect.
(In the comments, however, somebody states that the described atrocity doesn't seem to have originated from this war, but instead from a Lebanese massacre of Palestinians in 1982. Not sure how true that is but if so it's another reason why I see this war as having no good sides.
EDIT: it wasn't Israel that did the 1982 massacre it was Lebanon. Fixed
