now they are beheading hostages...

[Admiral Rockwell Tory]

We don’t need to send in troops but planes and battleships. Why not? Israel is our ally.

How does a plane or ships rescue hostages?

BTW, we don't have any battleships anymore. We got rid of them 30 years ago.

 

[Godboy]

You think our hostage rescue teams are better? So good that they will never lose anyone? You are in serious need of some education on the topic.

"So good that they will never lose anyone"

Youre putting words in my mouth that i never said. We dont lose SEALs on a regular basis. There are a million reasons for that fact. YOU as a supposed Navy man should at least have some inkling of what im referring to.

Number one reason being they don't get sent on fishing expeditions while under bombardment from a modern military, like the idea you are suggesting.

 

[Admiral Rockwell Tory]

Likely none. Do you have any concept of the support that SEAL teams have? You act like you were in the military, but you say weird shit that makes no sense.

Listen up and learn, please! I served 23 years active and reserve. I also volunteered for the Army's Urban Combat Training Center to train special ops troops and regular combat units.

As a volunteer, I have trained every SEAL team the Navy has. Army Special Forces including Delta Force were one of our regular visitors until they built their own facilities. Air Force Special Ops PJs, and various other units were trained at our facility over the 11 years I participated.

My cohorts were all grandfathers, veterans, college students and teenagers. In our exercises, probably 95% of the time we lost, but many times when we lost, we took a whole lot of them with us. My own daughter was only 15 at the time when she took out an entire SF fire team by herself. She is now an Army Captain.

They do an incredible job, but in those exercises, I have killed hundreds of our troops in simulations which hopefully kept them alive doing the real thing.

Since they are flush with planes and bombs already, thanks to us, they may not need the extra assistance. Israel is equipped to fight a modern army. They are chasing ants in Gaza. They don't need the help, I bet.

Battleships? Carrier groups have destroyers and misisle cruisers. It would be expensive and redundant. Overkill.

As a deterrent for Lebanon and Syria.

I think quite a few people in this thread are very delusional

Did none of you learn anything about or from the vietnam war, or Iraq, or afghanistan?

Rooting Hamas out of its hiding places will not happen quickly. It will not be easy. All the fancy tanks and smart bombs in the world won't help you against a mobile guerilla army on foot, hiding in tunnels and buildings. And it may end in basically a stalemate.

This is real life, not video games.

Shows how much I know. Are they called cruisers now?

To deter them from what? They aren't going to wait for Hamas to put the entire country of israel on a war footing, THEN invade. I'm no general, but that would seem pretty stupid to me.

Ahh now you’re practicing stolen valor there, “veteran"

Your attempt to derail this thread ain't gonna work.

I think cruisers basically took their place. Very few Atlantic walls to shell these, days.

So why the **** do you think they are going to die if they go on a hostage rescue mission? If you know the SEALs so well, you must know that they have crazy good support on their missions, especially when we arent in the middle of our own war and our resources arent spread thin. They would have multiples eyes in the sky, AWACS, drones, satellite, probably several Apache's and most definitely 2-4 fully loaded F/A-18's ready to drop bombs at a moments notice. Aint nothin getting near the SEAL team, except for their targets who are holding the captives.

Because Gaza is an active theater of war under bombardment.

 

[Lisa558]

Declare war on Hamas and send in battleships and planes and tell Lebanon if Hezbollah interferes its a declaration of war on America.

That’s what Trump would do.

No. The last battleships were built at the end of WWII. They were around in Korea and Vietnam, but we retired them. We brought them back modernized and a few participated in the Gulf War. After that they were all retired and later became museums.

Cruisers are much smaller and are primarily used for antiaircraft warfare. I served on two cruisers myself in the 80s and 90s. The current battlegroup with the USS Gerald R. Ford has a Ticonderoga class cruiser and several DDGs.

 

[JusticeHammer]

I am British and a Democratic socialist, and lunatic settlers protected by the Israeli army are stealing Palestinian land and even their homes, what planet are you on?

You are a fool.

 

[JusticeHammer]

A democratic socialist. A communist.

Yep

What's this thread about?
What do you insist on talking about?

 

[Godboy]

I think youre thinking of destroyers. Battleships were replaced by aircraft carriers. Carriers are much better at that job.
