      @Raphael Costeau Yea I saw that, did that girl bring proof? That's what I love about Twitter, you can just make an accusation, and asking for proof is not allowed. Any word on Amber?

      @Raphael Costeau You definitely have some evidence that Virgil leaving Chapo had to do with those goofy accusations, right? Seems weird that this would be the case since he'd left the show before those accusations were made, but since you claim that was why I'm certain you have a good reason for believing this. So let's hear it.
      Like you're definitely not just making shit up in the same way the accuser obviously was. You're definitely not just as bad and shitty as her... right? So let's see your receipts.

    51:46 this is complete bullshit and comes straight from the mind palace of defense journalists. The Millennium Challenge 2002 didn't demonstrate that Iran would score a crippling defeat to the US Navy. Anyone who say otherwise clearly didn't actually look into the exercise and why it went the way it did.
    To start off, wargames aren't video games where the objective is to get as many points possible and style on the enemy. The point of any military exercise is to perform a dress rehearsal of a military operation. It gives the enlistedmen and officers an opportunity to practice in an environment that isn't life or death and an opportunity to find shortcomings in the plan of action.
    Marine General Martin Van Ripper "won" the exercise by having suicide attack boats and small craft with P-270 anti-ship missiles deploy instantaneously at point-blank range with the US Navy task force. We know for a fact the Iranians do not have hordes of suicide attack craft and that the boats Ripper used were far too small to carry P-270s (which the US also knows Iran does not have in the numbers he had available). As Ripper couldn't use radio communications due to American jamming, he decided to issue orders via motorbike. While this is a perfectly legitimate strategy (and one the Iranians would probably have done), he literally gamed the system by having them relay messages at the speed of light and in both directions. Lastly, Ripper used civilian craft, so the referees barred BLUFOR from using their CIWS--even though the "civilian" craft would have appeared in very large numbers, were charging straight at the fleet at top speed, and were carrying missiles almost as large as the boats themselves. After REDFOR's victory on day one, the referees decided to reset and correct the exploits and just run through the exercise and Ripper threw a childish fit.
    Why did the USN reset the exercise and go again? Why did they resurrect "dead" units? Because if the Navy allocated the time, money, and resources to do a 5-day exercise, they're going to use all those resources to do a 5-day exercise. If either side finishes early, they just carry on so everyone gets an opportunity to practice. Ripper's victory didn't reveal flaws in the USN's doctrine. It reveals flaws in the way the USN set up that particular wargame.
    And at the end of the day, Millennium Challenge 2002 wasn't a test to see "how a war with Iran would go". It was a dress rehearsal for the Invasion of Iraq the following year--in which the USN didn't lose 20,000 soldiers on day one. As a matter of fact, the initial invasion was a total success. Millennium Challenge 2002 picked Iran as the REDFOR because Iranian military was an actual competent fighting force that was considerably stronger than Iraq's military (which was held together with bailing wire and duct tape).

      Is this true? I have heard of that 2002 Millennium Challenge thing for years. If what you say is correct then interesting. I have 1 possible correction. The US thought Iraq was relatively competent at the time, they likely did the Iranian challenge in order to practice in case they wanted to fight Iran. So, I do not think the whole navy thing is revenant fully to Iraq. We used Saudi Arabia as the launch pad to attack Iraq, your explanation is using too much 2020 hindsight with regards to the USA’s knowledge of Iraq’s lack of power. We knew Iraq was weaker significantly because of the Gulf war, but at least most people in military didn know how quick Iraq would capitulate.
