Lots of people get amazed by the sheer strength of the US military but fail to recognize something even more notable. During WWII the US had ships deployed to war zones that were dedicated exclusively to the production and service of ice cream to the troops. Currently we have military cargo planes transporting 18 wheeler semi trucks converted to the production of Burger King for the troops in battle zones anywhere in the world. While everyone one else is focused on "trying" to get enough forces and supplies into place, the US does it with impunity to the extent that we have so much extra logistical capacity we can spend it on treats to keep everyone happy. That logistical prowess is what makes the US so formidable.

[@alabamacoastie6924]

Agreed, incredible supply chain!

[@JohnFourtyTwo]

Those ice cream ships were concrete U.S. Army barges (BRL - Barge, Refrigerated, Large). The Navy had one and the Army had three. Besides making 500 gallons of ice cream a day with storage for 2,000 gallons, they carried 1,500 tons of frozen meat and 500 tons of fresh vegetables, eggs, cheese, and milk each. They operated throughout the Pacific theater. Due to being a barge not being able to get underway without an ocean tug like the Navajo class fleet tug, they had to be resupplied by refrigerated cargo ships. Those tugs were formidable little beasts in their own right. Lookup the USS Pawnee and how her crew defended the disabled USS Houston in tow from Japanese attacks in October 1944. The book "We Will Stand By You: Serving in the Pawnee 1942-1945" is a testament to devotion to duty.

I was there. The tanker escort mission was called Operation Earnest Will. When we would enter or leave the gulf through the Straits of Hormuz, Iran would light us up with their Silkworm missile radars. I was an Electronics Warfare Technician 2nd Class on the USS Merrill (DD-976), SAG B, during this engagement. The night before, our Captain told us to get some sleep. We were going to general quarters at 0730. At 0800 our SAG would destroy the Sassan Oil Platform, SAG C would take out the Sirri oil platform, and SAG D would take our a frigate. We went to GQ at 0730. We radioed the platform at 0745, stating "You have 15 minutes to evacuate the platform." then stated it in Farsi, then English, then Farsi, finally saying, "Have A Nice Day." (we had a CT onboard that spoke Farsi) We then gave them a 10 minute warning, then a 5-minute warning. At 0800 we radioed, "Has everyone left the platform, we are prepared to open fire," to which the platform responded, "We are not leaving." So, we were like, "OK" and started firing at the platform with our 5-inch guns. We had fired 2 rounds when they started shooting back with their 22-mm chain gun. Our Fire Controlman adjusted fire and took him out with ONE shot (yes, he was THAT good). Then he readjusted fire and continued with the anti-personnel air bursts (we were trying NOT to hit a toxic tank on the platform. We were supposed to trade off with the Lynde B. McCormick but her gun had dropped sync and was "walking" and they couldn't fix it in time. We wound up doing all the shooting on the Sassan oil platform. The Soviet Udaloy-class destroyer was collecting intel. We had a joke after the engagement: How does the Ayatollah inspect his fleet?... Glass Bottom Boat.. 😂😂😂

Later it was the Joint Chiefs of Staff investigate and recommended Iraq be held accountable and the government at the time complied. This was followed by around 400 million dollars as compensation for the attack as well as other problems. Brindel, the captain, was also relieved of duty and retired as a commander for not defending the ship at all and Moncrief, the tactical officer, resigned as a result.

Different mission set though: the SEALs will never be sent to do an amphibious landing (there aren't enough of them) while the Marines could probably take down most of the targets SEALs are tasked to eliminate -- they just won't make it home since being sneaky killing people quietly isn't really in the Marine Corps ethos (which is another reason we love them so much). And to what @charlesbryson7443 says... again, Delta is another animal entirely. DEVGRU and Delta are the most fungible units on the list but again they have a slightly different mission statement (at least on paper)... and DEVGRU has some really interesting auxiliary groups working with them: their proximity to DC and the specialized training and skills the EOD members attached to DEVGRU have make them uniquely qualified for jobs that Delta will never get as long as DEVGRU (or that unit in the Air Force that doesn't even have a name on paper) are able to respond within 12 hours.

The last ship I served on was the one that finished off that frigate. With that being said what happened that day is kinda an understatement. These frigates are basically mini ferries with two jet engines powering it and more guns than a lot of whole countries navies. But these boats weren’t meant to take big hits like mines or missiles, because of that DC (damage control) training is huge and it’s why we don’t loose boats. An example of how important DC is look at how the Russians lost a bigger (all steel) boat from a single missile hit just last year, where as a less armored American frigate not only didn’t sink but was ready to fight (see USS stark)

The Navy SEALs are considered the finest special forces group. The US Marines are considered the best overall fighting force. The SEALs are on a smaller scale, and are used for specific, and often secret missions.

[@ChuckHuffmaster]

The Seals are a scalpel and the Marines are a chainsaw

[@4325air]

It would help to get the terminology correct: Special OPERATIONS Forces (SOF) is the umbrella term that includes units such as Army SPECIAL FORCES, Navy SEALS, MARSOC, AFSOC, Delta, DEVGRU, 160th SOAR, and some others. All of them have some unique capabilities and some common capabilities, some unique missions and some overlapping missions. For example, Army Special Forces mission set includes (1) Internal Defense and Develoment and (2) Unconventional Warfare (building guerrilla forces in a foreign nation and then conducting guerrilla warfare). SEALS perform neither mission. BOTH SEALS and SF conduct strategic reconnaissance and direct action missions. Comparing these units to each other is like apples and oranges. When you write that, "SEALs are considered the finest special forces group," Oh, really? Considered by who? Videogamers? Your sources? People who have never served in the armed forces, or more specifically in special operations? Describing SEALS as special forces group tells me right away that you are not a veteran of "The Community". Why? No SEAL would want to be known as "special forces." And no Army Special Forces operator wants to be known as a SEAL. I respect all SOF units, having trained or served with most of them. I will say this about SEALs: They've got dynamite public relations, such as movies, videos, TV programs, books and all of that, to the extent that the average American has virtually never heard of all the rest of the Special Operations Community who also perform yeoman's labor and who, I might add, do not want ANY publicity. As a result, their missions remain unheralded. The nickname of Army SF to the public is "The Green Berets." However, SF members are known as "The Quiet Professionals," for a reason.

[@charlesbryson7443]

Mostly just DEVGRU. I believe Delta is the best, though.

[@H8rProof]

Retired Beret here. I've been asked countless times what special forces group is the most badass, and every civilian as well as most enlisted grunts go immediately to the Seals or the Berets. That is perfectly justified based on what the public is allowed to know, but every special forces operator will tell you different. The most badass special forces group is the Airforce PJs, and it's not close. Those are the dudes we call for help when the shit hits the fan.

@@4325air That’s exactly true and when I was in the Marine Corps, the recon or the Marines, you never heard about them or do & yet they navy seals and RECON pretty much do the same things or similar things.

Marines are essentially shock troops used as expeditionary units, embassy guards, etc. Seals are specialized demolitions and counter terrorist units. Kind of an apple and oranges comparison. Seals wont be storming beaches exclusively, and marines probably arent going to be doing a whole lot of infiltration. They tend to be as subtle as a brick through a window with a note attached saying "You're toast".

That Iranian F4 pilot that lost his wing actually was able to fly his plane back to Bandar Abbas airport

Fly is a loaded term here. He didn't die, but the plane very much did., and quite quickly. The F4 is an interceptor aircraft. It's a short range anti-bomber plane designed to create problems for bombers and convoys from a distance.

Yes, you can usually tell the origin of munitions by their fragments. From the markings and serial numbers to the details of construction all is distinctive. For example with artillery shells no 2 countries attach the "driving band" (the copper band at the base of the projectile that engages the rifling in the gun and makes it spin in flight) in the same way so you can tell if a fragment came from German or British or French shell (say from ww1) simply by examining remains of the drving band. The same principles apply to things like sea mines, there are details that are unique to the way Iran puts those together

[@ryojimata3708]

The eye of sauron was hilarious. Also, the scary thing about american missles is the fact that they don't aim for the engines. They aim for the cockpit of the aircraft. It's just that the aircraft are usually trying to run from the missles. Heat seekers do aim for the engines, but that it for that. They may be able to replace the equipment, but it takes longer to replace pilots.

Depends on the situation. They both have their own strengths and weaknesses. Seals are more specialized Marines have a broader scope of training. So Marines have a wider range of skills, but Seals are going to be better in their specialized area.

SEALs are one of the US military's premiere special operations units. They are some of the best trained and equiped forces for covert operation, but often suffer when forced into direct combat operations as they're incapable of bringing to force all of their potential. Marines are often believed to be the greatest conventional combat force in the world. Marines are some of the most capable, aggressive, and creative infantry despite recently losing most of their heavy armor forces and often using less advanced weapons. SEALs squadsare great for keeping things quiet, Marine squads are what you send to kill everything in a building and then want them to level said building with a broom, a grenade, and a stick of C4.

The alphabet he uses is the NATO phonetic alphabet. Alpha, Bravo, Charlie, Delta, Echo, Foxtrot, Golf, Hotel, India, Juliet, Kilo, Lima, Mike, November, Oscar, Papa, Quebec, Romeo, Sierra, Tango, Uniform, Victor, Whiskey, X-ray, Yankee, Zulu. The idea is that in these words are 'unique' sounding words that begin with each letter in the English language, so there is less confusion when spelling things out over radio communications.

[@LifesGuardian]

They're also unique enough that if radio communication is spotty and you only get part of a word it's still clear what letter was intended. No other letter contains Ike, so you know it's Mike. Fox means Foxtrot. It may seem obvious, but at the ranges and theatres it's meant to be used in, it's not always so clear. Just try spelling your name to some automated systems. Bob turns into Cod really quick depending on accents.

It would have been more meaningful to have spelled out "Newton's Third Law of Motion" on that aircraft carrier's deck (07:40). The law states that when one object exerts a force on another, the second object exerts an equal force in the opposite direction. Meaning that everything that Iran tries against the USA, is going to be met with an equal ("Proportional") reaction back at them.

[@shannonrhoads7099]

True, but it would take a lot more sailors, and the individual letters would be smaller.

[@iknowuare4716]

No, E=mc squared is not about Newton. It’s Einstein. It’s the mass- energy equivalent. If you can destroy a piece of mass that is the energy you get from it. That’s how nuclear weapons work. A very small piece of mass is destroy but multiplied by the speed of light squared so you get a massive amount of energy released. Thus, the atomic bomb.
