What is this.
4 September 2023
What is this.

Did the screen writers efen read any of the Foundation Series.

They omitted important things and added unimportant things, why did they do that.

The CGI,Computer Generated Imagery, looks good but does not compensate for the omitted things.

Was this written as some high school kids book report, plagiarized from Cliff Notes.

Somebody needs to do a redo like the redos of the Frank Herbert Dune Series,

The Starship Trooper Series needs to be corrected also due to content and intent of the author just like this Foundation Series. As changing the authors intent like Uwe Boll did F. U. B. A. R.ed what Starship Troopers was really about.

June 18, 2018 the US Department of Energy's Oak Ridge National Laboratory announced the top speeds of its Summit supercomputing machine. The Summit's theoretical peak speed is 200 petaflops, or 200,000 teraflops.

To put that in human terms, approximately 6.3 billion people would all have to make a calculation at the same time, every second, for an entire year, to match what Summit can do in just one second. Another way to see it, if you want to go toe-to-toe with Summit yourself, settle in. You'll be making a calculation every single second for the next 6.3 billion years.

The Oak Ridge team says the system is the first supercomputer made bespoke for use in artificial intelligence applications.

The US Government is reportedly already talking to Manufacturers about developing several exaflop supercomputers, and Energy Secretary Rick Perry said yesterday that they want to deliver the first by 2021.

Failure to Learn from the Past
22 December 2020
Father Chief Warrant Officer, 3 Tour Vietnam War U.S. Army Aviator Fixed Wing and Rotary Wing (Helicopter) Instrument Rated, Instructor Pilot, Examiner, found out later he also flew Fixed Wing Aircraft for the CIA. He constantly taught me to fly Fixed Wing, Rotary Wing.

He was one of the Creators of Nap of the Earth, NOE, and trained U.S. Army Aviators Republic of South Vietnam to do NOE.

Age 18 Graduated from Deutsch Gymnasium (High School), Deutsch Technical University, Department of Defense Schools High School Reserve Officer Training Corps, Got "Drafted" Vietnam War, Military Occupational Skill 13 Field Artillery, told I Volunteered to be a U.S. Army Special Forces Long Range Reconnaissance Patrol.

Eventually ended up as a U.S. Army Special Forces Long Range Reconnaissance Patrol.Platoon Sergeant Age 19. Five Squads of 12, Two UH-1A Gunships (Four Aviators, Two Crew Chiefs), Two UH-1 B (old from the 1960s) Cargo and Passenger (Four Aviators, Two Crew Chief, Four Door Gunners), 1 Fuel Tanker.

Found out the Assigned U.S. Army Aviator were trained by my Father. Because the Platoon Leader "Lieutenant" hid in his Bunker the entire Tour, I was doing his Platoon Leader Job, including Admin, Awards and Decorations, Article 15s and UCMJ, Logistic Coordination (Food, Water, Fuel, Ammunition), Detail and Duty Rosters, etc..

Everybody, even Airmobile, Today's Air Assault, were doing NOE, as if you flew over 100 meters you would be seen for Kilometers and shot down by 23mm or 57mm anti aircraft full automatic cannons, and or a Anti Aircraft Missile would go up your tail pipe.

Was Routine for my U.S. Army Aviators to fly NOE, 40 meters above Rice Patties, 10 meters about tree tops, they did as my Father taught them to do.

After the Vietnam War, College, University Reserve Officers Training Corps, my Father was still trying to teach me to learn to Fly, this time UH-60 Blackhawks.

Assigned Intermediate Range Nuclear Forces Europe, Transportation of Nuclear Weapons by CH 47, over 130 Mission (To and From equals one Mission), 3 Crashes everybody not injured. Got some "Stick Time" flying CH 47s.

Commissioned Assigned to Federal Republic of West Germany. What I noticed was how the Attack Helicopter 64s were being Used. OH-58 Reconnaissance would fly above the trees and climb, the AH-64s would hover behind the rows of trees out of sight, after the OH-58 found a target the AH 64s would go straight up and fire. When they did not have OH 58s, a AH 64 would slowly rise until front seat could see the open fields to the next rows of trees. When they moved, the used NOE, as not to be detected by Radar or risk being seen and shot down.

1982 to 1983 Got sent as a U.S. Army Special Forces Officer to the 1980 (1979) to 1989 (1990) Iran Iraq Wars, ended up in command of a U.S. Ally Iraqis Combat Brigade over 100,000. with the other 3 U.S. Ally Iraqis Combat Brigades North of Baghdad Iraq Also Commanded by U.S. Army Special Forces ODA Team Leaders, the Battalions were Commanded by ODA Team Members. 1983 to 1984 sent to CIA Operation Cyclone. As to how long I have been involved with Iraq and Afghanistan.

Returned to Federal Republic of West Germany, sent to Officer's Advanced Course, Masters of Science Degree.

Combined Arms Services Staff School, Command And General Staff College, Kansas.

1989 UN Observer Kuwait. 1990 to 1991 Persian Gulf War as a U.S. Army Special Forces Officer from Kuwait to Baghdad as Strategic Special Reconnaissance, once again the U.S. Army Rotary Wing Aviators were using NOE. The AH 64s when moving used NOE, with a OH 58 in front of them flying at over 100 meters to "draw enemy fire", the AH 64s were radioed and "dusted" the enemy, they (AH 64s and U.S.A.F. A-10s) not the General Schwarzkopf Armor (Tanks) were killing Iraqis Armor, Mechanized Infantry, etc..

1993 President Clinton's Operation Continue Hope failed and turned into Battle of Mogadishu.

1993 to 2001 President Clinton's Illegal Unfunded Wars against Muslim Nations, 1998 we were denounced by President Clinton, and had to escape from Baghdad Iraq to U.S. Ally Syria (the U.S.A.F. Airstrikes were from Syria). As Team Leader decision was made "Acquire" a Iraqis Aircraft, fly from Baghdad Iraq to U.S. Ally Syria. I was the Co Pilot and Navigator, Team Member from Alaska learned to fly since teen was Pilot. 1998 President Clinton Declared War Against U.S. Ally Iraq, Iraq Liberation Act of 1998, to stop his Impeachment because he previously Violate U.S. Senate Law 1973 War Powers Resolution, and U.S. House of Representatives Law 1973 War Powers Act, that removed the President's War Powers, to order Us to do what we were doing that caused the Revenge attacks of Osama Bin Laden.

2001 Volunteered to attempt President Bush's CIA Operation Neptune Spear, this failed. Mission Changed, Overthrow the 5 Million Pro U.S.S.R. Afghan Government and Pro U.S.S.R. Afghan Military that had become the Afghan Taliban, VERSUS, 336 of Us and 150,000 of our previous CIA Operation Cyclone Pro U.S. Afghan Muhajeen that had become the Northern Alliance. "Air Power" especially Close Air Support was critical, to kill the Huge Numbers of Afghan Taliban Conventional Warfare Army's Tanks, Mechanized Infantry Vehicles, etc.. We forced them to flee West then North to the Old Silk Road North of Iran, to Northern Iraq..

2001 Operation Viking Hammer, Us, the U.S. Army's 10th Special Forces Group, U.S. Army's 10th Mountain Division, U.S. Air Force Special Operations Wings, Elimination of Muslim Army, of Osama Bin Laden, Al Quada, about 4 Million Afghan Taliban, Million Muslims from Training Camps Afghanistan, and 30 Million Kurds as allies of Osama Bin Laden. Failed Iran gave them Muslim Sanctuary, Osama Bin Laden, Al Quada, Afghan Taliban when thru Iran and got back to Afghanistan.

We were the First at Iraq. BEFORE "THE TIP OF THE SPEAR".

2002 to 2003 U.S. Military Operation Hotel California, the Strategic Feint to make the Iraqis believe the Main United Nations Coalition Attacks of President Clinton's Declared War, Iraq Liberation Act of 1998, U.S. Senate Law, 2002 Iraq War Resolution, would come from U.S. Ally Turkey so that the Iraqis would move their 13 Iraqis Divisions from their Southern Defenses at the Borders of Kuwait and Saudi Arabia. We, the U.S. Army's 10th Special Forces Group, 173rd Airborne, U.S. Air Force Special Operations Wings, U.S. Army's Special Operations Aviation Regiment (SOAR). destroyed 5 Iraqis Combat Divisions north of Baghdad Iraq, the Iraqis panicked, ordered their 13 Iraqis Divisions from their Southern Border Defenses to North Of Baghdad to fight Us, we were within visual range of Baghdad. After the Iraqis removed their Southern Defenses of 13 Divisions, 2003 Liberation of Iraq started in accordance with President Clinton's U.S. Law, Iraq Liberation Act of 1998, "Overthrow Iraqis President Saddam Hussein, Liberate the Iraqis People, Install a Democracy". U.S. Senate Law 2002 Iraq War Resolution demanded Bush Accomplish Clinton's Declared War and was identical to President Clinton's 1998 Law so that President Bush could not Veto, both U.S. Laws.

Finally, went to and graduated from U.S. Army Aviation School, Rotary Wing and Fixed Wing. Fort Rucker Alabama, surrounded by "Dry Counties" (No Alcohol) Daleville, Ozark, Enterprise. War College. Returned to Afghanistan 2005 to ?????. Got lots of "Stick Time" flying, my Joint Services Special Warfare Task Force Support Aviation of the U.S. Army's 160th Special Operations Aviation Regiment's Helicopters. Deployed to A (Afghanistan) to Z (Zimbabwe), and most Nations in between A to Z. Camp Leatherneck and British Camp Bastion, Afghanistan, got to fly an AH 64, and a U.S.A.F. MV 22 from Afghanistan to Egypt, U.S.A.F. Pilot let me do that from Co Pilot's seat.

Question I never got answered WHY doesn't the U.S. Army's Conventional Warfare Aviation have Mid Air Refueling like the U.S. Army's 160th Special Operation Aviation Regiment has?

The Astronauts: Day 34 (2020)
Season 1, Episode 6
3/10
Nope
20 December 2020
Too obvious that the Script Writers did not talk with the NASA Scientists

The current 2020 NASA idea of Spacecraft Design is Multiple Hulls like a Russian Federation Alpha Class Submarine, the Astronauts live inside a cylinder protected by the Multiple Hulls.

Between the Outer Hull and the next Hull is drinkable water, that protects the entire Spacecraft from Solar Radiation. The drinkable water also makes the Outer Hull self sealing after being breached by common micro meteorites due to the cold of Space, the water freezes sealing any holes..

The Design of Spacesuits.

The idea of having a Rebreather on the Front accessible by the Astronauts instead of on the back as out of reach of the Astronauts including tubes attached to the back of the helmet instead of reachable and re attachable connected to the front bottom of helmet or the newer idea of no tubes going to the helmet, the Rebreather is directly connected to the Spacesuit.

The newer designed Spacesuits are mostly solid with vulnerable flexible material between joints.

The newer designed Spacesuits have a built in refillable jet pack and automatic computer and manual flight and navigation controls.

No such thing as of 2020 as instantaneous communications, as Spacecraft get further from Earth the delay gets longer, as Radio Signals are slower than the speed of light. There is a way to do this, near instantaneous communications, however, that is my concept, design, worth $Millions to $Billions. not including Fees of every time used as same kinds of Fees of current Cellular Telephones, Smartphones, i Phones, so do not criticize me, especially any body that uses Cellular Phones, Smartphones, I Phones, Texting, Wi Fi, etc..

U.S. Army's U.S. AFRICOM 3rd U.S. Army Special Forces Group of 4 Battalions, Located at Africa 1 Company of 7 Operational Detachments Alpha, 7 Operational Detachments Bravo (Support), 1 Operational Detachment Charlie (Command) Up to 1 Battalion of 3 Companies, 1 Support Company, 1 Headquarters Detachment.

U.S. Army 160th Special Operations Aviation Regiment (SOAR) Units with MH-60s, MH-47s, MH-6s.

U.S. Army Area Support Groups Units of CH-47s, UH-60s, AH-64

Requirements Cultural Anthropology and Languages for Areas of Operation(s) and Area of Responsibility Unlike the U.S. Navy S.E.A.L.s and U.S. Department of Navy's U.S.M.C. MARSOC that know nothing, not even Basic Languages. "Sonny" of this series is typical of what U.S. Navy S.E.A.L.s do not know, are not Required to Know.

U.S. Air Force at U.S. AFRICOM 1 U.S. Air Force Special Operations Wing usually equipped with AC-130s. Can call on U.S. Air Force assets from U.S. Air Force at Spain and or Federal Republic of Germany. 1 Unit of MQs (Armed) and RQs (Reconnaissance) Unmanned Aerial Vehicles.

U.S.M.C. 1 Battalion of U.S.M.C. 1 Company of U.S.M.C. MARSOC.

U.S. Navy U.S. Navy S.E.A.L.s of Special Warfare Task Unit TEN with attached SWCCs, Special Warfare Combatant Crafts and Operators. Usually only used against the Somalis Pirates because they lack Languages and Cultural Anthropology Knowledge to operate Covertly with CIA.

Others CIA Tunisia "Desk" as Resident Agent at U.S. Embassy CIA Special Operations Division Units CIA Special Activities Group Units NSA Electronic Intelligence Gathering Units. NRO Liaison Officer

Hostage and Kidnapping Situations Muslim Nations 12 hours before Hostages moved or Murdered. At U.S. 24 hours before probability dead, according to FBI THIS IS WHY flying U.S. Navy S.E.A.L.s from U.S. Navy Special Warfare Development Group (DEVGRU) Dam Neck Virginia to Africa is NOT Factual, over 15 hours flight to Africa.

Not exactly true
17 December 2020
Many City Police Departments no longer allow their Police Officers to have their Firearms, Protective Equipment, Uniforms inside their Personally Owned Vehicles, as too many criminals, gang members, specifically watch what License Plate Vehicle Police Officers drive, then watch for when the most opportune time to break and enter or completely steal the entire vehicle is.

NOT Even Close to Accurate
17 December 2020
ANY U.S. Military Special Warfare Teams that have Survived too many Missions KNOW how to show up at a Team Members Family's Residence, what to say, how to behave.

CBS S.E.A.L. Team of U.S. Navy S.E.A.L.s attempting to be like U.S. Army Special Forces 1st Operational Detachment Delta of the CBS TV Series "The Unit".

Facts, previously Reported by CBS Investigative Reporter Kimberly Dozier and Associated Press Special Warfare, Intelligence and Counterterrorism.

U.S. Navy S.E.A.L.s were not involved with the U.S. President Obama Ordered Overthrow of U.S. Ally President Ben Ali of Tunisia, nor the Obama Ordered November 2010 Overthrow of U.S. Ally President Omar Gaddaffi a U.S. Ally since 2006, U.S. Ally President Mubarak a U.S. Ally since 1973 because U.S. Navy S.E.A.L.s do NOT have a Cultural Anthropology and Language REQUIREMENT like U.S. Army

Special Forces and the CIA"s Special Activities Division (previously Directorate), and or the CIA's Special Activities Group, as Required to have Assisted as Ordered by Obama Al Quada's Muslim Brotherhood Egypt, Islamic State Egypt, Islamic State Sinai to Overthrow U.S. Ally President Mubarak, Assist Al Quada's Ansar Al Shariah "Obama Libyan Rebels" to attack from Egypt U.S. Ally

President Gaddaffi's Libyan Military Hight Razma Depots to Arm "the Obama Libyan Rebels" of Ansar Al Shariah to Overthrow U.S. Ally President Gaddaffi, from Libya assist Al Quada's Ansar Al Shariah and Islamic State Tunisia to attack U.S. Ally President Ben Ali of Tunisia. As without the Cultural Anthropology and Languages U.S. Navy S.E.A.L.s cannot be anything like the Locals and are a HUGE Target.

This TV Series Character "Sonny" is typical of most U.S. Navy S.E.A.L.s as NO Knowledge of Cultural Anthropology. "Sonny" would have been OUT a long time ago with his Disrespecting the Entire Chain of Command from Ensigns (O-1) to the Highest "Cake Eater" as The U.S. President as Commander In Chief.

This TV Series Character "Ray" is typical of U.S. Navy NOT Commissioned Warrant Officer's, as to why we Use U.S. Army Commissioned Warrant Officers as Execute Officers usually with over 21 years Experience, of the Joint Services Special Warfare Task Force Force Teams, as capable as Teams Executive Officers to Command until another U.S. Military Officer, Grade O-3 P (Promotable) can be assessed to the Teams, Training with the Teams, Evaluated by Team Members and Commissioned Warrant Officer, and if accepted, the Team has a New Team Leader, some U.S. Army Commissioned Warrant Officers have switched from U.S. Army Commissioned Warrant Officer to U.S. Army Commissioned Officer to become Team Leaders, you cannot do this with U.S. Navy NOT Commissioned Officer Warrant Officers, due to Civilian Educational Requirements, U.S. Army Commissioned Warrant Officers minimum of an Associates Degree after U.S. Army Warrant Officer Candidate's School, to get Promoted from W-1 to CWO-2, a Bachelor's Degree, U.S. Military Commissioned Officers minimum Bachelor's Degree prior to being Commissioned O-1. Most of the U.S. Army Special Forces Non Commissioned Officers have MANY Associates Degrees, Bachelors Degrees of Cultural Anthropology and Languages, and Many Military Occupational Skills, M.O.S.s, unlike the U.S. Navy S.E.A.L.s even of U.S. Navy Special Warfare Development Group, DEVGRU, only one U.S. Military Occupational Skill, NO College nor University Degree Requirements.

The exemption are the U.S. Navy S.E.A.L.s, and U.S.M.C. MARSOC assigned to U.S. Joint Services Special Warfare Task Forces, as assigned to U.S. Army Special Forces Teams, Operational Detachment Alphas, however, most after finally becoming fully Qualified as finally catching up to the U.S. Army Special Forces Team Members Requirements and Qualifications, are usually above 21 Years and submit their Retirement Packets, there are some rare like my Command Sergeant Major as previously U.S.M.C. Vietnam War currently U.S.M.C. MARSOC that remained after becoming Fully Qualified, He set the Standards for All NCOs (E-6 to E-9), we do not have any Enlisted (E-1 to E-4), the Joint Services Special Warfare Commanding Officer sets the Standards for All Officers (O-2 to O-6) assigned to the Joint Services Special Warfare Task Force (Independent of the Theater Command).U.S. Navy S.E.A.L.s even U.S. Navy's Special Warfare Development Group do NOT do "Triple R Missions" (Rescue, Recapture, Recovery Missions), as they have not been at a Nation long enough to create Local Intelligence Assets, and Leaders of Local Militias Support. When we handed off "Triple R Missions" to U.S. Navy S.E.A.L.s, British S.A.S. the result was the Deaths of Hostages, and Local Civilians that then created more Terrorists, and Terrorist Supporters. See youtube "Ex-SAS soldier comments on failed UKSF Rescue Operation" as the same thing that they (Bravo Team this Episode) are doing. U.S. Army Special Forces Teams of U.S. AFRICOM and CIA Desk Tunisia would have already contacted their Intelligence Assets, 100 percent located "Ray", and wrote an Operations Order with Contingency Plans to do the Triple R Mission, rehearsed the Triple R Mission. The u.S. Navy S.E.A.L.s being NOT "In Country" would have not been notified nor allowed to participate, flying from "Stateside" by the time the U.S. Navy S.E.A.L.s arrived "In Country" all Intelligence would have been "Stale" no longer valid. KNOWN Not Classified, Abductions, Kidnappings, Hostages, International Federal Bureau of Investigation Cases 72 hours. Flight time from Dam Neck Virginia to Tunisia over 15 hours, instead of from 29 Bases of U.S. AFICOM, minutes Bizerte, Tunisia, less than an hour Misrata, Libya, Tripoli, Libya. The Entire Reason why U.S. AFRICOM was created was Africa would be U.S. AFRICOM's Area of Operations, Area of Responsibility instead of Us being constantly Redeployed from Afghanistan, Iraq, "Stateside", Europe, etc. to Africa. U.S. Special Operations Command Africa is already at Africa, including U.S. Navy's Special Warfare Unit Ten as Command and Control of Naval Special Warfare Unit TWO (NSWU-2) of two forward deployed SEAL platoons (32 SEALs) and a Special Boat Unit RIB Detachment. Africa became the U.S. Army 3rd Special Forces Group's Area of Operations, Area of Responsibility, 4 Battalions, 3 Companies per Battalion, 7 Teams per Company, as Over 1,000 U.S. Army Special Forces. Because of the lack of Qualifications the U.S. Navy S.E.A.L.s and U.S. Navy are usually are assigned to the Somalis Pirates problem. U.S. Air Force 449th Air Expeditionary Group Camp Lemonnier, Djibouti, is equipped with unmanned aerial vehicles both RQs (Reconnaissance) and MQs (Armed) UAVs.

When we did Triple R Missions, from neck to groin bulletproof vests with long sleeves, full Assault armor, ballistic shields, bulletproof faceshields, stereoscopic night vision (4 lumen tubes), newer AK-47s (man killers, not varmint guns as M-16s or M-4s) with rail mounts and electro optical scopes, laser designators, M-32 grenade launchers as mostly anti personnel, Non Lethal Munitions (inside target building), some HE Dual Purpose. Prior to the Triple R Mission, the U.S. Army Rangers and or U.S.M.C. MARSOC secure the Area of Operations no enemy in (reinforcements) or out (enemy escaping). In "orbit" outside the Mission Area are U.S. Air Force Special Operation Wing's AC-130s. U.S. Army 160th SOAR MH-60s and or MH-47s. A U.S. Army Special Forces Special Surveillance Team sometimes with attached CIA SAD and or CIA SOG Verified the Hostage(s) and locations of all Enemy making the Intelligence Agency's Information "Actionable Intelligence" they maintain Surveillance until End of Mission (EOM). U.S. Navy S.E.A.L.s are usually NOT allowed to do these "Triple R Missions" as too "Trigger Happy" and usually NOT equipped with Non Lethal Munitions, the proper Protective Equipment (too many U.S. Navy S.E.A.L. casualties and too many previous "Buster" (Failed) Missions with too much Collateral Damages as International Incidents).

Since before November 2010 U.S. Army Special Forces Lieutenant Colonel Andrew Wood with Two U.S. Army Special Forces Teams (ODAs) were already at the U.S. Embassy Tripoli Libya, later Testified to U.S. Congress about what happened at U.S. Consulate and CIA Annex, Benghazi, Libya, caused by President Obama's and Vice President Joseph Biden's Re Election Campaign Speeches "Osama Bin Laden is Dead, General Motors is Alive", that then turned the "Obama Libyan Rebels" of Al Quada's Ansar Al Shariah, Libyan February 17 Brigade, Islamic State Libya against the u.S., resulting in the Attacks of the U.S Consulate and CIA Annex Benghazi Libya. U.S. Ambassador Stevens left the Safety of the U.S. Embassy Tripoli as Ordered by Secretary Of State Hillary Clinton and U.S. President Obama to destroy the Documents implicating U.S. President Obama, Vice President Biden, Secretary of State Clinton with Ordering the Cooperation with Known Muslim Terrorists to Overthrow U.S. Allies President Mubarak, President Gaddaffi, President Saleh, President Ben Ali, President Zardari, President Assad. The Mission of the CIA Annex Libya was the attempt to Locate and Recapture the 400 U.S. FIM-92 "Stinger" Anti Aircraft Missiles, and over 2,000 Russian SA-7 Anti Aircraft Missiles (taken by Obama's Libyan Rebels of Al Quada's Ansar Al Shariah from the Libyan Military Depots of Hight Razma Benghazi Libya) after Al Quada announced that "Al Quada Will shoot down U.S. Commercial (Passenger and Cargo) Aircraft, to cripple the U.S. Economy". One SA-3 vehicle mounted taken by the Obama Libyan Rebels ended up with the Islamic State Egypt and Islamic State Sinai, and shot down the Russian Federation Metrojet Flight 9268 Passenger Aircraft over the Sinai October 31, 2015 as below the required altitude. A seized from the U.S. Ally Libyan Military Hight Razma Depot SA-7 shotdown a U.S. Ally Yemenis Helicopter, Afghanistan SA-7 shotdown a U.S. Army CH-47 August 6, 2011 S.E.A.L.s

How we did, do this.
15 December 2020
4 Person Team as Special Surveillance, Target Identification and Verification, Targeting, Target Damage Assessment. 2 Long Range Electro Optical Surveillance with Target Designators. Weapons that the locals have, cannot run out of ammunition, cannot identify who or which Nation did the Mission. Uniforms whatever the locals are wearing.

2 Foreign Aircraft each with 1 each GBU-12 Paveway 2 "Smart Bomb" we use Target Designator to accurately target. GBU-118 Thermobaric Bomb, burns at over 2,000 Degrees C, burns all evidence, kills anybody that got into underground Bunker, Tunnels or Bomb Shelter.

We do not do Direct Actions for this kind of Mission, as leaving too much evidence to be found.

Anybody that rates this low, needs to have their rear ends kicked by my Type A Personality Women of Joint Services Special Warfare Task Force.

The first time I had Women like this assigned was 1982 to 1983 Iran Iraq Wars, they wore U.S. Army Uniforms, U.S. Military Officer Grade O-1, Second Lieutenant, when I ask Who Trained them as U.S. Army Special Forces, their Response, "You don't want to Know, You have no Need to Know".

If she were U.S. Army Special Forces or CIA SAD or CIA SOG She would KNOW about Rescue, Recapture, Recovery Operations "Triple R Missions", Neutralize the Threat(s), then Free the Hostages just in case the Hostages have Stockholm Syndrome as Sympathetic to the Threat(s) as Hostage Takers.' Any available Enemy Weapons you seize and use those yourself, search dead Enemy for anything useful especially ammunition, if not you remove the bolt and take the bolt with you to toss later on. First thing after seizing enemy weapon is count ammunition when possible (when no enemy seen). Never allow Enemy to get close enough to force you to the ground. If armed with Firearm NEVER let the Enemy get close, to "Close the Distance" before you can aim and pull the trigger. Always carry multiple sharp objects knives, scissors, screw drivers, even made sharpened sticks. sharp points wrapped in cloth, paper, cardboard so that you do not injure yourself if you fall or are forced to the ground, reachable with right hand and or left hand to stab Enemy in left and or right eye or at Arm Pits to Kill Enemy.

Not Real maybe during 1963 to 1967, 1971 to 1979, 1983 to 1987 Democrat Governor George Wallace's Extreme Racism when I lived there during the 1960s, Democrat Blue Laws of Segregation, Voter Tests, Busing, Colors Only Signs and Whites Only Signs, Hatred of Strangers that might be from Republican States as Civil Rights Protestors or Federal Bureau of Investigation, Murders of Civil Rights Demonstrators like Registered Republican Martin Luther King, 1865 Democrats created the Ku Klux Klan and the Dixie Battle Flag to Honor the Democrat States that fought against the U.S. Army and U.S. Navy. Today Republican Governor no longer tolerates previous Democrats Extreme Racism and Fully Cooperates with the Federal U.S. Government and Federal Bureau of Investigation since 1987 to 1993 Republican Governor H. Guy Hunt, lived there 1960s as U.S. Military Dependent and during the 1980s while attending U.S. Military Officer Career Schools.

What is depicted by this Movie is typical of Democrat State of Virginia, West of The Pentagon Virginia and Washington D.C.. Lived at Virginia while U.S. Military U.S. Congressional Liaison Officer., Volunteered September 2001 to attempt Republican President Bush's CIA Operation Neptune Spear.

Needs to be Categories Docu Drama (Documentary Dramatized), History, War.

Accurately portrays the loss of Israelis Defense Forces Combat Experienced Survivors after the Six Day war 1967, and the War of Attrition 1967 to 1970, leaving lots of No Combat Experienced of the Israelis Defense Forces by 1973.

My experience with this kind of incompetent was when I got "Drafted" to the Vietnam War, most of the Chain of Command really had no idea what was happening ?outside the wire", many were not real Leaders, Our Field Artillery Platoon Leader hide in his Bunker his entire Tour. A Private brought him his Breakfast, Lunch, Dinner, and two buckets of water before each meal, after emptying out the buckets of water into a lyster water bag, he did number 1 and number 2 in one of the buckets, that the Private had to empty out, scrub clean and put into boiling water. I was told that I Volunteered to become U.S. Army Special Forces Long Range Reconnaissance Patrol a Life Expectancy 2 Weeks, Field Artillery Life Expectancy was 6 months. Training Republic of South Vietnam U.S. Army Airborne School, U.S. Army Ranger School, U.S. Army Special Forces School, U.S. Army Special Forces Long Range Reconnaissance Patrol School, after Surviving the Vietnam War, If I ever became a U.S. Military Officer I decided would Lead from the Front not from inside a Bunker, Tactical Operations Center, etc..

This Documentary Dramatized History of War, depicts that kind of Incompetent Leadership.

As a U.S. Army Special Forces Officer, 1982 to 1983 I got sent to the LONGEST CONVENTIONAL WAR OF HISTORY, 1980 to 1989 (actual 1990), the Iran Iraq Wars. U.S.S.R. backed U.S.S.R. Ally Iran Versus U.S. back U.S. Ally Iraq. U.S.S.R. Ally Iranian Divisions, Brigades Versus U.S. Ally Iraqis Divisions, Brigades. Largest Tank and Mechanized Infantry, Infantry Battles of History. 1/4 Million Iranian Ally Kurds turned Traitor and did World War One Human Wave Charges against U.S. Ally Iraqis Defenses. The Millions of Iranians that fled Ayatollah Khomeini's Massacres of anybody that had anything to do with U.S. Ally Shah of Iran to U.S. Ally Iraq, turned Traitor as the Shia of Iraq, and fought against u.S. Ally Iraq. Total numbers dead, almost a Million U.S. Ally Iraqis including Civilians, almost a Million U.S.S.R. Ally Iranians including Civilians. Because U.S. Ally Iraq's Military like the U.S.S.R. Ally Iran were "Order Driven" and lacked Initiative, if their Communications were disrupted by destroying the vehicles with more than one antennae (Tank Platoon Leader, Company Commander's Tank), entire Tank Platoons, Companies would stop. As to how We ended up in Command of Iraqis Combat Divisions, Brigades.

If the U.S.S.R. and WARSAW Pact Nations ever attacked Western Europe the Tank and or Mechanized Infantry Platoon Leader's Vehicle and or Company Commander's Vehicle was the Primary Target(s), before N.F.L. Near threat, Far Threat (indirect fires supporting attacks), Line (Forward Line of Enemy).

Not Accurate, Yom Kippar War was not ONLY Egypt and Syria, other Nations of the Arab League of Nations Cuba, Morocco, Saudi Arabia. Israelis dead 2,800, Arab Forces dead 18, 500.

The other time that incompetent Leadership caused a Defeat, was Us and Our Former CIA Operation Cyclone Muhajeen as the Northern Alliance Versus the Pro U.S.S.R. Afghan Government and Pro U.S.S.R. Afghan Military that became the Afghan Taliban, today there are acres of parked destroyed Afghan Taliban Tanks, Mechanized Vehicles, etc..

The level of incompetence of Leadership as depicted by this Documentary Drama "Docu Drama" History, War, is more common than most Civilians would ever believe. The Incompetent Leadership also Causes "Infighting", "Personality Conflicts" within Conventional Warfare Military Forces.

Magnum P.I.: Easy Money (2020)

Facts
12 December 2020
Flight Simulators Versus Actual Flight, no comparison.

Each Aircraft Type and Model has different configurations of breakers, switches, locations of gauges, etc.. Need a lot of training and actual flight time to even figure out the basics. This is why when transitioning to another kind, type, or model of aircraft usually means weeks, months of ground school, simulators including emergency procedures, then hands on actual flight time.

U.S. Army Rotary Wing (Helicopter) and Fixed Wing (Aircraft), Initial Rotary Wing 32 Weeks (8 months), Additional Specific Model Type of Helicopter 14 Weeks (3.5 months) to 23 Weeks (5.75 months).

You can also train to fly Single Engine and Multi Engine Fixed Wing Aircraft and Rotary Wing (Helicopters). So much wrong on Internet about U.S. Army Aviators saying only U.S. Army Warrant Officers fly, and that U.S. Army Warrant Officers are not Commissioned Officers. Since the 1980s U.S. Army Warrant Officers became Commissioned Officers unlike the rest of the World's warrant Officers and the Warrant Officers as NOT Commissioned of the U.S. Navy.

Unlike all the other Branches of Service Special Warfare Forces, We as U.S. Army Special Forces had a Need to know how to Fly Fixed Wing Aircraft and Rotary Winged (Helicopter) Aircraft.

Almost all Aircraft that fly over 10,000 feet must have Identification Transponders, so that Air Traffic Control can see on Radar and identify the aircraft.

Ever since too many Tourists had to be Rescued because they went to locations that were Kapu (No Trespassing) as Illegal per State of Hawaii Laws, City and County of Honolulu Restrictions, Cellular Telephone Service is available everywhere at Oahu, even miles from shore.

Most Marijuana Farms at Hawaii had all kinds of lethal traps to stop plants from being stolen.

Most U.S. Military Snipers no longer use the M-24 Sniper Rifle (Remington 700) and M2010 Enhanced Sniper Rifle ESR, bolt action, as too slow, usually must take eyes from target to do bolt action, and switched to the M110 Semi-Automatic Sniper System 7.62mm x 51mm designed to Kill Ammunition, we switched to the M-21 and later M-25 as the mechanics of the M110 are like the M-16, M-4 as M110 malfunctions, instead of using the too short range M-4 (range 250 meters) M-16 (range 350 meters), 5.56mm x 45mm designed to kill varmints (rabbits, jack rabbits, ground hogs).

Showing the North Shore, then showing South Honolulu claiming they are the same?

Ms. Juliett Higgins is finally finding out just how ridiculous Oahu Mayor Kirk's Property Taxes are, Monopoly Hawaiian Electric Bills, Board of Water Supply Water Sewer Bills, Vehicles Registrations, Insurance are.. They (Ms. Juliett Higgins and Thomas Magnum )are going to have to make more than $50,000.00 NET Profits (after paying Taxes of over 35 percent and paying other Expenses of Food, Fuel, Clothes, etc.).

Parallel (II) (2018)
4/10
Copy of another Parallel Dimension
12 December 2020
This was already done and explained by the TV Series 2017 to 2019 Counterpart. Including the result of one Dimension bringing a Pandemic from their Dimension into the other Dimension.

The TV Series Counterpart each side of the Parallel Dimensions had Agencies to take care of their own Dimension Travelers that decided to go rogue and remain at the other Parallel Dimension. Even though they had an Entire Nation's Security on both sides, both Dimensions, they still got compromised.

In Counterpart those from the Parallel Dimension were easily detected as not having the identical experiences.

Star Trek Discovery Season 3 Episode 9 already shows what happens when you travel to another Dimension.

Referencing Robert Heinlein, Arthur C. Clarke only shows how illiterate the Writers are as most of the Robert Heinlein and Sir Arthur C. Clarke dealt with actual Science, and possible Physical Science as Physics, not Theoretical Science.

There is also moving matter that did not exist at a Dimension (B) from one Dimension (A) to another Dimension (B).

The Flash 2014 TV Series Season 6 showed what happened of how The Flash caused the Crisis that resulted in the Destruction of the Parallel Dimension Earths, that then combined into one Earth, with the Deaths of 7 to 8 Billion for each Parallel Earth.

The Violation of Scientific Law called The Law of Conservation of Mass, discovered by Antoine Lavoisier in 1785. In its most compact form, it states: "Matter is neither created nor destroyed, the total amount of mass and energy in the universe is constant." by bring things from their Dimension into the other Dimension, they violated the Mass and Energy Constant of the Dimension they were at and the Dimension they went to. They would have to bring back everything they brought into the other Dimension down to the atomic level of atoms and molecules even Oxygen they breathe.

Cause + Effects (Symptoms) = Results. Cause Solving World Hunger + Effects (Symptoms) more Human Procreation = Results more Over Population, unless you change the Entire Population need to procreate. Because the need to procreate has not changed today 2020 we have 7.8 Billion Population as Overpopulation, "It took over 2 million years of human prehistory and history for the world's population to reach 1 billion, and only 200 years more to reach 7 billion."

Putting filters over lens made watching this almost unwatchable. How many of you live with that kind of lighting? Kind of like those TV Shows, Movies that they put a dark filter over the lens to simulate evening or night making everything impossible to see anything, unless you turn up the brightness and contrast.

This is NOT "The Way"
12 December 2020
"The Way" is that Mandalorians must KILL those that saw their Faces.

Today an App can be loaded on a Smartphone, iPhone to do Facial Recognition.

Military Facilities, Secure Facilities use Facial Recognition to verify Authorized Entry and Authorized Access.

Worldwide even Airports have Video Cameras connected to Computers with Facial Recognition capabilities.

Since the 2006-2007 Nationwide Illegal Felony Crime Demonstration of Illegal Aliens at the U.S., U.S. Intelligence Agencies used the new Technology of Facial Recognition that was used with the News Videos of the 2006-2007 Nationwide Illegal Demonstrations of Illegal Aliens that then identified each individual of the Millions of Illegal Aliens in the News Videos by using the Mexican National Identification Card Database. Felony Crimes, No Permit to Protest or Demonstrate, Violations as Interference with Trade and Commerce (Blocking Streets, Roads, Highways, Inter States), Not Obeying U.S. Law Enforcement Officers.

Because of Movies portrayals of how to fool Facial Recognition, other methods were added, including Voice print identification, retinal scans of both eyes (must be living, not removed from dead body), finger prints, implanted RF IDs, Full Body Scanner, all connected to a lie detector inside an armored booth (that will seal shut if anything wrong), even DNA RNA that does detect clones, with all must match 100 percent at the same time.

LOL age 45 Pedro Pascal as The Mandalorian almost looks like me when I was only that age years ago, including screwed up hair from wearing helmet, bulletproof vest, and gear as a U.S. Military Joint Services Special Warfare Officer, BUT does not have that recognizable had Killed lots of other Human Beings in Close Combat since Age 18 "Drafted" to the Vietnam War to ?, as permanently leaving a stain that can be detected by others that killed Human Beings before.

There are Reasons why this TV Series is being Rated 5.3.
12 December 2020
Most of what Angus MacGyver "creates" already existed as invented by The U.S. Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency, D.A.R.P.A., except Smaller and more Effective.

Being named after the 2006 McDonald's Angus Burger, this TV Series started 2016, ten (10) Years after the 2006 McDonald's Angus Burger is more Comedy than Action, Adventure, Drama.

Ancient History, Graduated from Biological Warfare School, Epidemiologist (included Virology, Immunology), Deployed as Biological Accident Incident Response and Assistance Team Leader to too many Virus Outbreaks, Bacteriological Outbreaks. Witnessed the use of U.S.S.R. Biological Weapon and the Results. Use of Biological Weapons, whoever uses a Biological Weapon cannot guarantee they will not kill themselves. Previously, Chemical Munitions Officer School, Nuclear (Weapons) Physics and Physiology Officer School. What is depicted by this Episode is not even close to accurate.

Using that Mission Impossible nonsense is getting old. As most Security Experts would have already seen that Movie and made the appropriate corrections, including Security In Depth, from Fence Sensors, Ground Vibration Sensors, Lots of Attack Dogs with hearing protection and bulletproof vests, hardwired day night and thermal video surveillance cameras that cannot be "hacked', security measures that stop cutting torches even the British Thermal Arc Cutting Torch. For a very long time, since I lived at The Federal Republic of West Germany since 1970s before being Drafted to the Vietnam war, and after Vietnam War, and even later on returned to the Federal Republic of West Germany 1980s to 1990s as a U.S. Military Officer, deployed from U.S. to Federal Republic of Germany further Deployed to other Nations 1990 to?, they had double glass windows, doors, as highly effective thermal isolation during Winters using a light reflected to light sensor to listen in does not work, same as how the CIA and NSA Buildings work including being a Faraday Cage, their external to internal communications, internal to external communications, would not work.

Plans for Security of Buildings are NOT available, especially Rich People. Usually, the "As Built" Blueprints are one of a kind, usually in a vault of that Rich Person's Building that the As Built Blueprints are of.

Most "Auction Houses", to protect themselves, before accepting anything from a seller, use a Thermal Ionization Mass Spectrometer used in radiometric dating to determine the age of any Materials, ESPECIALLY Paintings and Antiques.

Action, Adventure, COMEDY
11 December 2020
I said that to save this TV Series Actors, Actresses, must demand that the Script Writers talk to people that KNOW, based on Experience what Africa is really like.

Any Military Veterans KNOW not to build a Base at the Low Ground.

French Indochina of Vietnam, Laos, Cambodia, the French Military built their Bases in Valleys, the Vietminh seized the high ground and fired artillery on the French Military with the French Military incapable of doing anything, even Close Air Support as the Vietminh had lots of anti aircraft automatic cannons to protect the Vietminh Artillery and shoot at the French Military at the Bases with devastating effects.

U.S.S.R. at Afghanistan, to make easier to Re Supply the U.S.S.R. Military Bases were in Valleys. Routinely, using "Reverse Slope" of Mountain Warfare, as out of sight of the U.S.S.R. we lead the CIA Operation Cyclone Muhajeen and had them fire on the U.S.S.R. Bases without the U.S.S.R. Military having any means to stop Us, when the U.S.S.R. sent their Mil-24 Attack Helicopters, and SU-25 Attack Aircraft similar to a U.S. Air Force A-10, we were waiting and set up a Ground to Air Ambush of many SA-7s, ZSU-23mm and ZSU-57mm Automatic Anti Aircraft Cannons. The U.S. FIM-92s "Stinger" Missiles Failed as the U.S.S.R. used Electric Counter Measures identifying the U.S.S.R. Aircraft as Friendly to the Identification Friend or Foe of the FIM-92 "Stinger" Missiles.

when you kill another Human Being from very close that becomes permanently a part of you, as a permanent stain, others that killed another Human Being can figure out who did and who did not, this is critical especially within the Military. Knowing that Team Members will shoot to kill when required and will not shoot to kill unless necessary and ONLY after positively identifying target(s). I had people try to imitate myself and other Team Members, they were easily identified. Many Nations especially the Security Contractors hired by The U.S. Department Of State use many methods to positively identify each Security Contractor including Bio Metrics.

Before the creation of U.S. AFRICOM We got sent to Somalia 1993 Operation Continue Hope after U.S. AFRICOM created 2007 to 2008 we thought no more deployments to Africa, We were deployed to other places at U.S. AFRICOM because U.S. AFRICOM's Forces could not handle the situations 2008 to 2011, then redeployed back to Afghanistan, then I got sent to U.S., U.S. Military Officer Career Schools. 2014 deployed to that Virus Outbreak, returned to U.S..

When we are at U.S. AFRICOM we DO NOT Use the ineffective hard to get 5.56mm x 45mm (range 350 meters) we use the Man Killer can be obtained anywhere 7.62mm x 39mm (range 800 meters), or if must use U.S. 7.62mm x 51mm, especially after 1993 Operation Continue Hope, that turned into the Battle of Mogadishu, many of Us ran out of ammunition due to Clinton's U.S. Department of Defense Budget Cuts, so being U.S. Army Special Forces trained to use other Nations Weapons, we picked up AK-47s and ammunition.

Many Warlords "Soldiers" lots had previously Served with the British Military as Parachutists (Maroon Berets), Royal Marines (Green Beret), even SAS (Beige, Tan Berets) including at their own Nations as Experts of Small Unit Tactics, even more "Expert" than any British Military just out of British Military Schools.

The Warlords had their "Soldiers" previously of the British Military Parachutists, Royal Marines, SAS train their "Child Soldiers" from age 7 till they reached age 18, as knowing more than most of the World's Military Forces, by age 8 they had already killed and were trained not to hesitate to kill or they would be killed.

The British Military suffered significant loss of capabilities as the many British Security Contractors bought new SAS Graduates upon Graduating from the British SAS School.

Bell 602 Helicopter has maximum capacity of 4 Passengers, 1 Pilot.

Still trying and Failing to be U.S. Army Special Forces Required to have Cultural Anthropology and Languages as Required to be attached to or assigned to CIA Special Activities Division (Directorate) and or CIA Special Operations Group, with No U.S. Navy S.E.A.L. requirements of Cultural Anthropology, Languages.

Because U.S. Navy S.E.A.L.s lack the U.S. Army Special Forces Cultural Anthropology and Languages they cannot do Covert Missions requiring Operators that are not identifiable from the Local Population.

Everybody from the Secretary of the U.S. Navy to the bottom the new Trainees of Basic Underwater Demolition/S.E.A.L, B.U.D./S. were opposed to doing the U.S. Army Special Forces Missions and ONLY wanted to do the "Door Kicking" Missions and Operations of minutes, hours, days, then go home.

U.S. Army Special Forces started as General George Washington's Special Operations Forces during the American Revolution as Armed Individuals that were NEVER Members of the "Well Regulated" by The British Military's American Colonist's Militias, these Armed Individuals as the First Army Special Forces did Insurgency Warfare, "Unconventional Warfare", Special Reconnaissance, Special Surveillance, Sabotage, Assassinations, Espionage, Counter Intelligence as eliminating British Agents and British Intelligence Assets before there was a American Colonists Intelligence Agency, the U.S. Navy S.E.A.L.s started after The U.S. Navy's Basic Underwater Demolition Teams of World War 2.

The Actors and Actresses of this TV Series need to talk to the Scriptwriters and convince them to go talk to One or More of the Over Eighty Actual Security Contractors at The United Kingdom. Before the ratings go down more and this TV Series drags their Acting Careers down the loo.

The TV Script Writers need to go talk with One or More of the over Eighty Security Contractors at the United Kingdom.

Most "Rich People" have a Security Staff, and at least Two or More "Body Guards" with them at All Times, 24/7 even when they are using the loo, if that tells you something.

And about more than a Dozen heavily armed fully experienced "Operators" as a "Status Symbol". Vehicles are rolling tanks with enough capabilities to stop direct RPG-7 Anti Tank rounds, "Run Flat" Tires, multiple layers of bulletproof glass, explosive proof passengers compartment floor against antitank landmines and or Improvised Explosive Devices

Comedy for anybody that survived Afghanistan
5 December 2020
Facts From Firsthand Experience and Firsthand Observations

Actual Afghanistan is NOT like "Filming Locations: CBS Studio Center - 4024 Radford Avenue, Studio City, Los Angeles, California, USA"

Having been at the Hindu Kush, and Pamir Mountains Afghanistan since 1983 to 1984 as CIA Operation Cyclone, September 2001 Our Surviving Afghan Muhajeen as the Northern Alliance Versus the Pro U.S.S.R Afghans that became the Afghan Taliban, 2005 to ?. Conducting High Altitude Mountain Warfare including Arctic Winter Warfare.

There is no place at the U.S. that is even close to the Killer of Hindus (The Hindu Kush) and the Pamir (Roof of the World). Especially during the below Zero Temperatures, avalanches, razor sharp rocks, etc..

Roads almost none. Mostly only shoulder width goat trails, you cannot even get a mountain bicycle on those goat trails, handle bars would hit and get stuck between two or more boulders.

From CIA Operation Cyclone of Us U.S. Army Special Forces training, arming, then each Team Member leading Pro U.S. 12 Afghan Muhajeen Teams (that later became the Northern Alliance) to kill U.S.S.R. and Pro U.S.S.R. Afghans that later became the Afghan Taliban, we found out from the Thousands of Miles of HUGE Mining Tunnels and Even Entire Villages craved into stone inside and some underneath the Mountains. As how during the day we could move undetected by the U.S.S.R..

There are also the connected to streams tunnels that connect to the Afghan water wells. 6 feet to 8 feet wide about 10 feet tall. As to how at night we appeared inside U.S.S.R. Bases built around the Afghan water wells, then after lots of killing and setting explosive we disappeared.

I already previously mentioned how the Afghan Taliban DO NOT do World War One Human Wave Attacks. Instead they remain Out of Range of the M-4s (250 meters), M-16s (350 meters), and fire from 400 meters to 700 meters first with RPG-7s range 800 meters, 12.7mm Machine Guns, AK-47s range 800 meters and the SVD 1 Semi Automatic Sniper Rifle range 1,200 meters.

Having been there before CIA Operation Cyclone, we having been Trained U.S. Army Mountain Warfare School (Technical Mountain Climbing, Summer and Winter Phases), U.S. Army Arctic and Winter Warfare School, Experienced. When we returned, we went Spelunking into the Thousands of Miles of Mining Tunnels searching for Afghan Taliban, Al Quada, Haqquini Network, Pakistanis Taliban, and the recent Islamic State Afghanistan. I mentioned before NOT "Caves", many Afghans to Survive the U.S.S.R. Occupation, moved their Entire Village into the Mining Tunnels adobe bricked the Tunnel entrances leaving only a small door that they camouflaged, as basically nearly bomb proof as the U.S.S.R. went nuts and started Carpet Bombing everywhere. To survive the Afghans even built entire Villages including a hospital and mosque carved into stone under Mountains and In Mountains.

Liked that instead of a long drawn out Episode things moved really quickly compared to other Episodes. 10 Stars.

Disliked Why don't they clone Storm Troopers from the Best as Clones like the Clones of the Clone Wars, why are they so lacking in intelligence, training, tactics, and even the use of ship to ground fire support? "The vast majority of stormtroopers were Fett clones, engineered through Kaminoan and Arkanian processes."

How about Cloning a bunch of Darth Vaders? Minus 5 Stars.

10 Stars minus 5 Stars equals 5 Stars.

Mosul (I) (2019)
Reality Sucks
28 November 2020
Having been involved with the old name Military Operations in Urban Terrain as Operation Continue Hope turned into The Battle of Mogadishu.

The current extensive Use of RPGs, Handgrenades, our Grenade Launchers was to easy to make mistakes like bounce backs, thing comes right back in your direction, then boom. Semi automatic only, aim squeeze trigger, if low on ammunition kill them as close as you as possible, get any or all of what they have and their weapon, and know how to select semi automatic on the right side of weapon (AK-47), magazine release to reload.

At Afghanistan more Military Operations in Urban Terrain, Street to Street, Room to Room, Building to Building, figured out Rooftop to Rooftop. AC-130s accurately firing at building across the street. Surviving the Battle of Mogadishu we made sure that we did not run out of ammunition, same idea just in case kill as many as close to you as possible, we don't aim center of mass we aim for the neck, bullet high shot in head, bullet low upper chest below neck, on target in the neck.

What they did to make things worse, road blocks, and when you stopped of course they launched RPGs, threw handgrenades from roof tops, when you got out of vehicle they made sure that they had blocked the doors of the buildings with almost everything that was in the building so that you get suck in the open in the street in a kill zone. Fortunately for Us they had not started making the 100 pounds to 1000 pounds Pakistanis Fertilizer Bombs (Improvised Explosive Devices).

Iraq as deployed from Afghanistan 2001 the City of Sargat Iraq. More Military Operations in Urban Terrain except much easier than Afghanistan 2001. Full support of U.S. Air Force Special Operations Wings, AC-130s, F-15 Strike Eagles, etc..

This movie accurately depicts some, not all of what is involved with Military Operations in Urban Terrain, and also has some tactical mistakes that they made and the deadly consequences.

When I got involved with the Iran Iraq Wars, glad that was Conventional Warfare out in the open and not at any Iraqis City. The same with CIA Operation Cyclone most of that was Mountain Warfare, lots of ambushes to make the U.S.S.R. Bases run low on food and ammunition, sometimes infiltration into the U.S.S.R. Bases.

Not going to rate this with Stars. If I did would be 11 stars. Too many memories of too many losses of as to how deadly Military Operations in Urban Terrain is. Being in Command leading from the front, Survivor's Guilt.

Not Accurate, mostly British History not other Nations Observations
28 November 2020
The 1918 to 1920 Pandemic did not start 1918 but years before in the filthy rat infested trenches of World War One that had lots of dead human bodies left rotting in the trenches. Rats like their cousin bats have many diseases, like bats have 400 kinds of Coronaviruses.

The Spanish Newspapers reported about this before 1918 and were criticized as the British, Germans, Americans, European Nations all Censored everything about the Horrors of World War One that daily since 1914 the Spanish Newspapers Reported Everything including The Disease that was raging in the Trenches of World War One, so the Governments doing the Censorship called this The Spanish Disease because they did not know much about Viruses, Bacteria, Mold, Mildew, Fungi, etc. especially General Practitioners Medical Doctors.

When the first symptoms started prior to 1918, many misdiagnosed this as exposure to a new kind of chemical weapon, as coughing up blood, some believed was a biological weapon. Many had never heard of Hemorrhagic Fever unless they had been to the Great British Colonial Empire's Colonies at the Middle East, nor seen Bacterial Pneumonia nor Viral Pneumonia nor even knew the difference, there was no such thing as Oxygen Tents either.

Most of the Military Uniforms of that time were made of wool, dead animal hair, perfect for carrying a bacteria, virus, toxic mold, mildew, poison producing fungi, etc. especially disease carrying fleas, ticks, lice, etc., even common anthrax spores from bacteria.

Routinely Military Units during World War One 1914 to 1918, were rotated, many wounded were sent to Military Bases at their Own Nation. Many times after a rest, the Units were at the Trenches sent to other locations. This is when the Virus went from the trenches of World War One to the Entire World's Nations involved with World War One, including at the Ottoman Empire and other Nations of The Great Colonial Empire Colonies, The French Colonial Empire Colonies, Arabia, Austria Hungarian Empire, Germany, Middle East, U.S. and U.S Territories, etc..

Many Survivors that served at the Trenches of World War One, ended up at Training Bases to train new Military, 1914 ro 1917 prior to the End of World War One 1918, as a high probability infected with a disease that then spread through out the Densely Populated Barracks and Training Units.

The use of the term Flu, Influenza was based on a lack of Knowledge of Virology, Epidemiology, Mathematical Epidemiology, Immunology, Microbiology, etc. as less threatening Flue as a chimney, instead of using the more scary Medical terms like virus, Bacteria, Infection, Outbreak, Pandemic, etc..

World War One Trenches of France 1916 to 1917, --->Great British Colonial Empire London England Ports-->Ships Required to Refuel---> Destinations, Great British Colonial Empire Colonies.

World War One Trenches of France 1916 to 1917, --->German Soldiers rotated back to Germany, new German Soldiers sent from German.-->German Soldiers returning from France, allowed to Visit Family, Relatives, Friends.--> Some train new German Soldiers at German Military Kasernes.

World war One April 6, 1917 U.S. Officially Enters World War One. U.S. Volunteers had already been at World War One since beginning, 1914,-->1917 Many returned to U.S. to Train U.S. Military at U.S. Military Bases as Cadre. Virus starts mutating.

1918 the Virus has been spread Worldwide since 1916. Mutates, is spread as Food Borne, Surface Contamination, Not Infected Persons eating Virus Contaminated Food, get infected throats, sinus cavity, mouths, the virus is breathed in from infected mouth, sinus cavity, throat into Lungs causing hemorrhaging similar to hemorrhagic fever, Ebola. Medical Doctors at Europe do not have any ideas, the Medical Doctors at the Middle East had experience with the Ancestor of the West Nile Virus, and the Ancestor of the MERS Coronavirus.

Did anybody learn anything, nope.

Teams sent to 2009 Virus Outbreak a Recombinant DNA RNA Virus, CDC refused to have Thermal Imaging at U.S. Ports of Entry and Close Borders to give time to create Vaccine, Test Vaccine, Mass Produce Vaccine, Distribute Vaccine, Outbreak became Pandemic, Pandemic is now Endemic still killing with the CDC Lie "Death By UnderLYING Causes".

Teams sent to Virus Outbreak, hemorrhagic Virus. 10, 10, 10 Rule created, 10 feet range of sneeze or cough, infected cloud 10 feet diameter, remained in air 10 minutes or more. Recommended Locally made N100 Masks, easy to get Locally Airtight Goggles, Yellow Rubber Rainsuits with Hoods, gardener's rubber boots, we brought in Surplus U.S. Army Nuclear Biological Chemical Black thick gloves, everything was sealed using vinyl tape, and impermeable surgical paper tape, decontamination was bleach including washing hands using upright water coolers with taps.

CDC Demanded that Nations Medical Doctors, Nurses use Face Shields and Surgical Masks, they did, 50 percent died, because they died 90 percent of their patients died. Virus 90 percent fatality rate. They got infected thru eyes because face shields not air tight, and thru nose and mouth as virus smaller than holes of paper surgical masks and weave of fabric of cloth masks. Using magnifying glass could see small red spots on eyes, then bleeding from corners of eyes, minutes later dead. We recommended Armed Quarantine, Close Borders, wear what we Recommended, we started using remdesivir of massive doses based on body weight, body mass index, conditions of health of patients, too little you do not kill the Virus the first time possible creation of mutation, too much dead patient(s), the Virus Outbreak Ended, we waited while in Country 31 Day Isolation Quarantine. The Virus Outbreak ended, there were no more deadly mutations. This Virus was started as Food Borne, food baked at 400 degrees Fahrenheit for hours did not kill virus, same as later 2019 Wuhan City Food Borne. Once again the CDC Lied, Cooking at 160 Degrees Fahrenheit Kills SARS CoVid 2 (name of the Virus), CoVid 2019 is name of the SARS CoVid 2 Pandemic.

Teams sent to Bacteriological Outbreak, CDC Demanded Use of Antiviral to Treat Bacterial Infections, we ignored the CDC again and used Antibiotics carefully as to not create another MRSA. Bacteriological Outbreak Ended. Instead of getting that Bacterial Infection many of Us got amoebic dysentery that was immune to broad spectrum antibiotics, was not killed by being cooked food or boiling water at 212 Degrees Fahrenheit, the locals created a cure and treated Us while Teams Members treated with Antibiotics were evacuated to U.S. we got well a few days later, called U.S. Military Hospital treating our infected Team Members, they were treated like we were and were well days later, unfortunately with some tissue and organ damages, and were Medically Discharged from U.S. Military.

Creating a Vaccine from Attenuated Strain of Virus or Proteins of Dead Virus does not account for any Mutations from what the samples were used to create the Attenuated Stain Virus or Dead Virus Protein Vaccine, as proof they learned NOTHING.

CDC definitely did not learn, that time is critical to save lives, and instead of using the Successful Chinese DNA RNA SARS CoVid 2 Tests, the CDC demanded to create their Own Antibody Test, while the CDC was warned that the Majority Infected do NOT create Antibodies therefore False Negatives and No Treatments with Antiviral remdesivir. And even now instead of using the Successful Chinese DNA RNA SARS CoVid 2 Tests that were successfully used on the 7 Million to 8 Million Population of Wuhan City, the CDC demanded the Use of RNA Tests Only, that many times there is not enough SARS CoVid 2 RNA for the CDC Test to detect.

Most of Us that were Trained, Graduated from U.S. Military Schools, Experienced with Virus Outbreaks, etc. Refuse to say Spanish Flu, Flu, In-Flue (Chimney)-nza, instead we say 1917 to 1920 Virus Pandemic so that anybody listen knows the date started 1917, that was a Virus, and Outbreak became a Pandemic.
