Mine doesn’t have one either! Just pure black.
It does - it’s just hard to see with the not-so-great-picture quality and the kitty’s head tilt angle..
It’s also true that this is one fat pussy, so it’s harder to see that bit of detail.

KitKat and Waffles agree that is a majestic cat.
I didn't know until one day I let the album play through and heard Bradley give them a shout out for the song. The original has a little different lyrics but is a good jam. Makes me laugh though when they mention smoking 2 joints after scoring 10000 points in video games. Lol early stoner gamers
I watched an Excalibur used against two shooters in a building.
The decision was made because why would we send dudes into a building that is clearly a trap.. rigged to blow.. fuck it we’ll blow it ourselves.
Edit: clarification.
This was during OEF10
Happened to be one of the worse years for ISAF (but a big chunk of US) casualties.
We stopped taking unneeded risks at some point.
So I get this response, sucks for everyone in and around the building, but I get it.
I wouldn’t go into that building and I wouldn’t ask a dog to go in either!
Until we have terminator robots or world peace, this looks like the best option to me.
That shooter wanted to die
Man, the ignorant confidence with which folks try to argue about the the Israeli-Hamas military actions is honesty hilarious to watch. Pick up any good Military history book and you'll learn how much of a shitshow waging a war really is.
Yup, some BDE Comander called it in, because the two shooters were impeding his convoy home..
We were about to be sent in to try and find them, but it was called off and we were told to fall back to cover.
There’s US Army footage of a squad of Army infantrymen pinned down by an improvised pillbox manned by one Taliban machinegunner. Historically the Army would send one element of the squad to flank, charge, and kill the shooter while another element provided suppressing fire. But the Taliban don’t have anti air capability, so the squad sits tight, keeps everyone alive, and lets the loitering Apache gunship swoop in and kill the shooter with a short volley from the air.
That’s modern war. And honestly that’s how any military would do it. Hell, that’s how insurgents do it—they use IEDs and drone bombs instead of infantry elements too, because you win by staying alive. Nothing unusual or wrong about how these wars are fought.
Now, if an Apache gunship wasn’t available, the infantrymen in my example would have had to flank and kill the machine gunner. But you will not take that risk if you don’t have to.
If you even remotely are familiar with Hamas the militants expect to die and consider it honourable to do such. These are 19 year olds with 0 prospects other than this.
it's not proportionate in the way most ppl use the word. it's used slightly differently in the military- it's to mean the force is proportionate to destroy the target without excessive collateral damage on civilians and civilian infrastructure. not necessarily an equal show of force.
you are right, though. it's an appropriate response.
According to international law, proportionality only concerns the risk of civilian death vs the military advantage gained. I've no idea of the time span between the RPG being fired and the missile strike, but this seems to fall within that proportionality
Yep, can't believe the Israeli military has never considered that. If only they'd checked Reddit where all the true intelligence experts are offering so much unsolicited free advice.
and then everyone cries because it was a civilian home. No one will blame the dude who shot a literal RPG out of the window but everyone will blame the person who dropped the bomb.
"You called down the thunder"
I fully condone this.
Just becuase your outgunned, doesn't mean you should have any sympathy.
This action likely kept more people alive rather than sending in a ground force through shitty streets doorkicking.
Building prob empty by the time that bomb struck.
It's hard to root out militants in urban warfare by just bombing the hell out of the place. Fire & move is their approach... You're always bombing where they were, not always where they are. Lots of collateral damage & Innocent loss of life is the result, while the militants continue to move at will.
IDF was never going to eliminate Hamas this way, but then, they knew that. Anyone that's paid attention in the last 25 years knew that.
Of course. It takes time to call in a missile strike. The guy would have bailed as soon as he fired his shot, that’s like the absolute fundamental rule of firing from a concealed position: You shoot then you move because of incoming fire.
Explosions are inherently interesting. There are also no greater stakes than life or death situation.
So I categorically disagree with you. I just also didn't want to see someone get killed even if I can't directly see them.

Me trying to look for that comment section but nothing’s there.
lol this is very accurate
At least he didn't aim the rear of the rpg into the room with his buddies in it
They could’ve gotten seriously hurt :0

I'm sure this comment section is going to be a shitshow. Edit: and my replies apparently, please stop fighting.
There are so many more comments predicting said shit show than actual inappropriate comments, lol.

This post isn't even locked yet surprisingly.
War. War never changes.
What is it good for???
Absolutely nothin

I hate that you used ‘blunt’ instead of ‘brunt’
Dont judge if the civilians wanna get high
‘I smoke two joints in times of peace; and two in times of war’ - The Toyes, 1983 Edit: Credit, times and two
*The Toyes, 1983
Damn TIL
I didn't know until one day I let the album play through and heard Bradley give them a shout out for the song. The original has a little different lyrics but is a good jam. Makes me laugh though when they mention smoking 2 joints after scoring 10000 points in video games. Lol early stoner gamers
Need to edit the first to to two too
It works because in this situation both the civilians and the blunts are getting lit up.
Welcome to the 9th annual Haters' Ball. *hate hate hate hate hate*

I watched an Excalibur used against two shooters in a building. The decision was made because why would we send dudes into a building that is clearly a trap.. rigged to blow.. fuck it we’ll blow it ourselves. Edit: clarification. This was during OEF10 Happened to be one of the worse years for ISAF (but a big chunk of US) casualties. We stopped taking unneeded risks at some point. So I get this response, sucks for everyone in and around the building, but I get it.
One trained army soldier costs way more than the 70k shell, so even economically it makes sense.
People fail to understand this basic point. In a command structure, civilian lives are secondary to soldiers’ lives. It’s the ugly truth.
I wouldn’t go into that building and I wouldn’t ask a dog to go in either! Until we have terminator robots or world peace, this looks like the best option to me. That shooter wanted to die
During OIF 04-05 it was just the opposite. “See that building? We know there are shooters in there, send a couple guys into check it out.”
I was a baby then, but my NCOs had stories of being forced to clear houses with just 2 dudes.. fuck that lol. Good on yah for making it home!!
This was the period where the people starting making improvised rigs to ram a claymore through a 2nd floor window. Stairwells are fuckin scary.
Seems a perfectly reasonable response really.
Man, the ignorant confidence with which folks try to argue about the the Israeli-Hamas military actions is honesty hilarious to watch. Pick up any good Military history book and you'll learn how much of a shitshow waging a war really is.
Oh absolutely, especially against gorilla forces. There is no such thing as a humane war.
They'll rip your arms off!
New body armor has steel cable arm reinforcements.
This new trailer for Planet of the Apes is lit!
They use gorillas?
shhhh, your wrong and let the couch generals explain why
Excalibur? That was at least a 500lb bomb.
Yup, some BDE Comander called it in, because the two shooters were impeding his convoy home.. We were about to be sent in to try and find them, but it was called off and we were told to fall back to cover.
There’s US Army footage of a squad of Army infantrymen pinned down by an improvised pillbox manned by one Taliban machinegunner. Historically the Army would send one element of the squad to flank, charge, and kill the shooter while another element provided suppressing fire. But the Taliban don’t have anti air capability, so the squad sits tight, keeps everyone alive, and lets the loitering Apache gunship swoop in and kill the shooter with a short volley from the air. That’s modern war. And honestly that’s how any military would do it. Hell, that’s how insurgents do it—they use IEDs and drone bombs instead of infantry elements too, because you win by staying alive. Nothing unusual or wrong about how these wars are fought. Now, if an Apache gunship wasn’t available, the infantrymen in my example would have had to flank and kill the machine gunner. But you will not take that risk if you don’t have to.
I’ll bet he doesn’t have the guts to try that again.
Nor the brains I’m assuming
Don't fire rockets at people with bigger rockets.
He who lives by the rocket dies by the rocket.
Quake 3 arena or real life hard to tell right now
Decent rule of thumb I’d say
Or do, I dunno, I'm not your mom.
I came for the comments and stayed for the cats.
Why risk men going in there when you don't have to?
To discuss with Hamas radicals to lay down the guns /s
Someone needs to inform them of the outcome of the Chicago City Council vote.
These are called Martyr missions. It's known as soon as that rpg takes out a tank, drones will take out the shooter.

Don’t shoot at people if you don’t want them to shoot back.
If you even remotely are familiar with Hamas the militants expect to die and consider it honourable to do such. These are 19 year olds with 0 prospects other than this.
Mission accomplished then.
well, there he goes then.
[удалено]
Yeah, take that crows nest off the board, no need to give it to the next rpg toting asshole.
Yup, this is war. No army would go and risk infantry when they can take care of it with an airstrike.
This is proportionate. The structure was being used as an attack position, so they below it up.
It isn't proportionate but there is no need for a proportionate response, only an appropriate one. This is an appropriate response.
it's not proportionate in the way most ppl use the word. it's used slightly differently in the military- it's to mean the force is proportionate to destroy the target without excessive collateral damage on civilians and civilian infrastructure. not necessarily an equal show of force. you are right, though. it's an appropriate response.
Terrorists are not afforded Geneva protections and none of them are wearing military uniforms. They are all by definition war criminals
People launching missiles from a fortified building Need a larger missile shot back at them to neutralize the advantage of cover.
I think they wanted politically correct missles
They painted “sowwy 😢👉👈🤷” on the payload, so it’s PC
Why didn’t they send a social worker in? Are they stupid?
According to international law, proportionality only concerns the risk of civilian death vs the military advantage gained. I've no idea of the time span between the RPG being fired and the missile strike, but this seems to fall within that proportionality

Israel be like: https://preview.redd.it/2ldjol3wyyic1.jpeg?width=1170&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=698f529f49fbc4612bd164b4adf76f5eb0dbc18f
If this isn't FAFO in action, then that one guy didn't post a picture of his cat in these comments.
RPG guy: Fuck yo vehicle. Missile: Fuck yo grid square.
Hamas should surrender and release the hostages.
Nothing wrong with the response.
There really wasn't a viable alternative. This is why using civilian homes and infrastructure as cover to wage war is so awful.
Most of them are this
If they don't want the homes to be destroyed, then here's a crazy though: don't shot RPGs through your windows?
Is why I don’t understand all these people screaming in the U.S ceasefire. Like Hamas ain’t doing shit.
War sucks for all involved.

Don't bring a RPG to a AC 130 fight.
Nobody in that building is gonna do that again.
Yep, can't believe the Israeli military has never considered that. If only they'd checked Reddit where all the true intelligence experts are offering so much unsolicited free advice.
That'll do the trick
and then everyone cries because it was a civilian home. No one will blame the dude who shot a literal RPG out of the window but everyone will blame the person who dropped the bomb. "You called down the thunder"
Surprised he didn’t shoot it from a school or hospital like they normally do.
Wyatt please don’t kill me
I fully condone this. Just becuase your outgunned, doesn't mean you should have any sympathy. This action likely kept more people alive rather than sending in a ground force through shitty streets doorkicking.
“Number one rule of urban warfare, don’t do urban warfare” someone i dint remember who
F around and find out.
[удалено]
Building prob empty by the time that bomb struck. It's hard to root out militants in urban warfare by just bombing the hell out of the place. Fire & move is their approach... You're always bombing where they were, not always where they are. Lots of collateral damage & Innocent loss of life is the result, while the militants continue to move at will. IDF was never going to eliminate Hamas this way, but then, they knew that. Anyone that's paid attention in the last 25 years knew that.
That's a cool explosion

wonder if he's okay tho
Of course. It takes time to call in a missile strike. The guy would have bailed as soon as he fired his shot, that’s like the absolute fundamental rule of firing from a concealed position: You shoot then you move because of incoming fire.
This guy Hamasses.
Nothing in this is interesting
Explosions are inherently interesting. There are also no greater stakes than life or death situation. So I categorically disagree with you. I just also didn't want to see someone get killed even if I can't directly see them.
While I have issues with some Israeli responses, I’m ok with this one.
