Hooked on Huskers Posted June 18, 2014 Share Posted June 18, 2014 If true, this isn't good. ISIS has allegedly captured Stinger Missiles. I'd worry less about Iraq falling and how we can protect ourselves against these. Meanwhile, replenish FIM-92 stingers stock in our "allies" Iraqi armed forces inventory. Raytheon stockholders are happy as a lark. Watch Wall Street report. You really think they are happy their products are captured by terrorists? Actually no. See NY Stock FIM-92 is a penny product compared to overall Raytheon profits. Raytheon is the world's largest producer of guided missiles like cruise missiles and smart bombs, satellites and space rockets, radars, etc. Link to comment
walksalone Posted June 18, 2014 Share Posted June 18, 2014 It's a problem that is only going to get worse. And short of wiping out everyone, is there really a viable solution? Link to comment

You (I think, based upon previous posts) and I have both spent time over there in that wonderful corner of the world and know what we're dealing with. There is no reasoning with these people.

Actually, never made it to the big sandbox. I was fortunate enough to be able to bop around the Balkans off an on for about a year and a half... Link to comment
walksalone Posted June 21, 2014 Share Posted June 21, 2014 I think Iraq is f*cked, and I do mean proper f*cked... Sending 300 military "advisors" over there, isn't going to make a damn bit of good. Link to comment

At this point it's not a solution, but a gesture... Link to comment
HUSKER FREAK Posted June 24, 2014 Share Posted June 24, 2014 What scares me for the people there is that when it gets over ran before anyone steps in to stop it before it gets that far. How are these 300 going to stop them from coming in? Link to comment
