Army Develops Self-Evacuation Exoskeleton for Lower-Leg Injuries​

post.jpg

When a soldier takes a round to the shin or catches a blast that fractures the tibia, the traditional response pulls two to four additional service members off the line to haul a litter, plus a security element to cover them. That's a significant combat power cost for a single casualty. The U.S. Army Medical Research and Development Command has been working on a better answer since 2020, and the result is IBEX, the Intrepid Battlefield EXoskeleton.

No, Israel isn’t ‘deliberately targeting’ children in Gaza

Once again, a United Nations body has accused Israel of the gravest crimes imaginable: this time, the deliberate murder of children. And once again, when you actually open the report, the evidence simply isn’t there.

The UN’s Independent International Commission of Inquiry has published a 94-page paper claiming Israel “deliberately targeted” Palestinian children during the war in the Gaza Strip – language implying war crimes and crimes against humanity. These are among the most serious charges in international law. So you would expect, at minimum, one clearly documented case: a soldier who identified a child as a child, and killed that child for no reason other than that they were a child. After 94 pages, the Commission cannot produce one.

What it produces instead, according to a detailed rebuttal by the watchdog UN Watch, is a chain of assumptions dressed up as findings.

the world needs to be reminded that some Hamas fighters had UN IDs on them, including that high up dude that got aced and was throwing rocks at the drone filming his final breaths

What the world needs to be reminded of is that this is war. In war there is something called collateral damage. The world doesn't have the stomach for what war really is. For the past 25 years the world has been pacified by ROE's that will never win a war. Since WWII ended, we have been playing a game of war around the world. War is not a game. It is a harsh reality and the only way to win it is by understanding what it takes to win at ALL costs.

Trump: Erdogan was a candidate to join Iran in the war, I asked - and he stayed out

U.S. President Donald Trump claimed in a conversation with reporters in the Oval Office that Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan was a "leading candidate" to join Iran in the war, "because he is not a great admirer of Israel," in his words. Trump, who promised that as long as he is president of the United States there will be no confrontation between Israel and Turkey, added that "I asked him to stay out of it, and he stayed out of it." It is unclear what Trump is basing his statements on. Several missiles were fired toward Turkey from Iran throughout the war.

No, Israel isn’t ‘deliberately targeting’ children in Gaza




International doctors working in Gaza have reported a disturbing pattern of gunshot wounds among children, raising concerns of deliberate targeting, according to an investigation published by the Dutch daily de Volkskrant.


Seems like this has been documented pretty well over time. Do you also make up excuses for the documented rapes? Have you seen that one where they surround the girl w\ riot shields and then idf soldiers take turns? It's events like this where even if you're pro israel, you need to admit just how bad this behavior is. Otherwise you're just burying yourself in a mountain of lies from which you're not likely to escape.

Listen, you are not going to do this again. Consider this an official warning
