Military Readying for Air Stirkes in *undisclosed* Southwest Asian Country

Patrick at Clarity and Resolve speculates that Iran is about to get bombed for its nuclear brinksmanship. Me? I'm thinking the Afghanistan-Pakistan border is looking especially hot today. Let's not forget, though, that Centcom also is over The Horn of Africa where the looming war between Eritrea and Ethiopia has forced U.S. diplomatic intervention. Something about speaking softly and carrying an F-16 suddently pops into my mind.

Fort-Wayne News Sentinel:

Members of the Fort Wayne-based 122nd Fighter Wing are scheduled to leave for Southwest Asia about 2:30 a.m. Tuesday from the unitÂ’s headquarters on Ferguson Road. It represents the wingÂ’s largest single deployment since it was called to Chambley, France, in 1961 during the Berlin Crisis. This deployment is in support of ongoing operations in the U.S. Central Command Air Forces (CENTAF) area of responsibility, which includes Southwest Asia. The unit will deploy fighter pilots, as well as maintenance and support personnel.
Good luck and Godspeed to the 122nd Fighter Wing!

1 What a glorious and honorable way of war you love... Missiles from thousands of miles away and superfast fly-by bombings for weeks, then maybe send some tanks and mercenaries if there are no signs of life left. Random reader: "%&¤#&%¤&¤&, does it never see the point, we don't want any casualties or risks whatsoever." Fine, but that still makes you pansies trying to appear at least somewhat masculine by picking on unpopular defenseless countries that have issues. Random reader: "Shut up if you know what's good for ya" I won't (and obviously I don't for the other one). At least not without such mention from people in a status higher than commenter.
