THE MOST DECORATED UNIT IN US MILITARY HISTORY!

No its not who you'd think,the usual Hollywood boys,the 101st/82nd/173rd/DELTA or the SEALS, Its actually the 442nd RCT,a Regimental Combat Unit,a 3 0r 4 battalion unit with own engineer,medical,tank and/or arty enabling it to perform as a self supporting unit. The USMC has a couple of RCTs.
The 442nd was an all Japanese unit though led by white officers. At the time many of their family had their small businesses confiscated and were interned for the entire duration of the war after Pearl Harbour.

No unit came close to such honours!



The fact that such accomplishments haven't even ONCE been lauded by Hollywood simply confirms my opinion of that Anglo Zionist lie factory.

Rest easy in Valhalla,heroes!

In your hurry to post you forgot "size and length of service"
And dammit purple heart medal goes to every soldier wounded for US sake
To sell your story don't trade rationality

Trade rationality? What do you mean?

Turkish company Harp Arge has developed an anti-drone system

Turkish company SDT A.S. developed the Air Combat Maneuvering Instrumentation (ACMI) System,which has replaced an Israel made system which was being used by the Turkish air force

The Browning is dead!

After 80 years of production John Moses Browning's Hi-power pistol has finally ceased production. Btw,this was the same guy who invented the Colt .45 and the .50 M2.
His designs have influenced the CZ 75-mag release button behind trigger guard,both originally had ring hammers,both have mainspring beneath barrel and have thumb safeties. The Hi-power was used in 50 armies for 7 decades.

The Hi Power was in many ways the Glock of its day. Easy to disassemble and with a large magazine capacity, the Hi Power was a leap ahead from contemporary gun designs when it was first introduced in 1935. The Hi Power used many features in Browning’s other famous pistol, the 1911A1 but showed considerable refinement, including such features as a twin-row, double-stack magazine that accommodated 13 rounds of nine-millimeter ammunition. That was up to twice as much ammo as other semiautomatic pistols and is where the pistol gets the name "Hi Power".

The Browning however survived for quite a while,considering its shape made it impossible for tactical addons. I preferred it over the CZ 75 whose steel milling I found crude-Saffas will hate me! Also the latter had real quality issues in the .40 version,no doubt the power of the cartridge overwhelmed the frame.

The 442nd RCT is the most lauded unit in the history of US warfare-which says much. Why have we heard more of coastguard heroics and invented GI Jane theatrics than these guys!?
Let me remind you

-The 442nd Regiment received more than 18,000 awards, including 9,500 Purple Hearts, 5,200 Bronze Star Medals, 588 Silver Stars, 52 Distinguished Service Crosses, 7 Distinguished Unit Citations, and twenty-one Congressional Medal of Honors. The 442nd Regiment was the most decorated unit for its size and length of service in the history of American warfare. The 4,000 men who initially made up the unit in April 1943 had to be replaced nearly 2.5 times. In total, about 14,000 men served. The unit was awarded eight Presidential Unit Citations (5 earned in one month). Twenty-one of its members were awarded Medals of Honor. Its motto was “Go for Broke”.

No unit comes close! Also look at their casualty replacement rate.

The most of its medals is purple heart medal which is a fairly easy medal to pick up in a WORLD WAR
and their casualty rate made them look like they were banzai charging through the war

Russian Air Force Su-30SM crashed in Mediterannean shortly after taking off from Khmeimim Airbase, killing both pilots. It's the 4th warplane Russia lost due to incident/malfunction since Sept. 2015.

Errrr..no,actually. The 442nd was strict in awards and decorations. The son of a 442nd member who made 2 documentaries on the unit says suicidal deaths were never rewarded.

One of the debates within the 442nd Regimental Team was whether soldiers who make lethal errors that result in their own deaths should be posthumously awarded. The overwhelming opinion was no, absolutely not. [/b]The case in point was the medal for a bazooka operator who became so fixated by the sight of an exploding Panzer tank that the shorn-off turret flew toward him, ripping the head off his shoulders. He should have hit the ground as he was trained to do, and therefore did not deserve a medal or to be lauded as hero. [b]As those heavily decorated veterans put it, “medals are not given for errors or stupidity.”

The 442nd RCT is most famous for the lost battalion battle October 1944 wherein they rescued the 1st bttn of the 141st Texas Regt. The surviving commander said of the 5 day battle

Major Claude D. Roscoe of the 141st Regiment remembered the moment when they finally realized who their heroes were: "To our great pleasure it was members of the 442nd Combat Team. We were overjoyed to see these people for we knew them as the best fighting men in the ETO."[4]

I wonder o.
and the pilots knowing fully that it was birdstrike should have bail out

probably he thought he could safely land the plane.he wouldn't want to loose a 4++ jet ,be assumed he choose to ejected too soon and lost an expensive jet

maybe his a young pilot with not many fly hour

maybe the pilot suffered dizziness and blackout as a result of uncontrollable X-spin immediately after the birdstrike. it happens to pilots a lot even though they've been trained for it.

my Theory though.

an american military C-130 which was flying to be retired, crashed moment after take off,killing all on-board

lets wait for more details,a while back a Chinese J-15 carrier fighter was struck by birds less than 40 seconds after takeoff, causing the left engine to catch fire in a carrier-based naval aviation base in China.the pilot manage to land the plane safely

Dude, dont beleive Sputnik. Its literal fake news.

We know what happened.

People were living in undergound bunkers, heavy wind and government shelling caused a sand-storm, the sand storm caused the oxygen levels in the underground bunkers to drop and some people asphyxiated.

Its been covered in detail by an award winning UK journalist who spoke to the people on the ground and confirmed the story with the Doctor who appeared in origional reports, the story was published in the Independent - a mainstream and reputable UK newspaper.

Sharing Sputnik stuff does nothing but muddy the waters and detract from a very credible story.

it was simply a staged chemical attack.

US cuts funding to the White Helmets... a British formed Urban Search and Rescue group that just recently staged the false chemical attack in Syria.

Chinese lasers injure US military pilots in Africa, Pentagon says

Chinese personnel at the country's first overseas military base in Djibouti have been using lasers to interfere with US military aircraft at a nearby American base, activity that has resulted in injuries to US pilots and prompted the US to launch a formal diplomatic protest with Beijing, two military officials told CNN.

The US issued a notice to airmen "to exercise caution when flying in certain areas in Djibouti," which "was issued due to lasers being directed at US aircraft on a small number of separate occasions over the last few weeks," according to the notice obtained by CNN.
"During one incident, there were two minor eye injuries of aircrew flying in a C-130 that resulted from exposure to military-grade laser beams, which were reported to have originated from the nearby Chinese base," the notice said.

Two US military officials told CNN that the issue was of major concern as such activity can cause major accidents.
Military-grade laser beams, occasionally known as "dazzlers," omit a powerful beam of light that can travel great distances and be used to illuminate aircraft cockpits, temporarily blinding pilots.
The officials said that the State Department had lodged a formal diplomatic protest with Beijing in an effort to get China to stop the activity.
Chief Pentagon spokeswoman Dana White confirmed the incidents later on Thursday, saying the United States has "formally demarched" the Chinese government over the incidents and has "requested" that the Chinese launch their own investigation of the situation.
"This activity poses a true threat to our airmen," White said, later saying that the incidents had grown increasingly serious over the last few weeks.
A US defense official told CNN that the US military also believes the Chinese use similar lasers to interfere with US aircraft in the South China Sea.
A 2015 report in the official Chinese military newspaper the PLA Daily noted that "China has been updating its home-made blinding laser weapons in recent years to meet the needs of different combat operations."
According to the report, Chinese forces have access to at least four different types of portable blinding laser weapons, all of which look like oversized modified assault rifles.
Both China and the US are signatories to the Protocol on Blinding Laser Weapons, which prohibits the use of blinding laser weapons as a means or method of warfare.
Competing military bases
Last month the US military was forced to briefly halt air operations in the East African nation of Djibouti, a critical location in the fight against terrorism, following a series of accidents involving aircraft. The halting of air operations was done at the request of Djiboutian government.
Chinese Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Hua Chunying said in her daily briefing Friday the US had been told their accusations were "totally inconsistent with facts." "You can remind people in the US they should pay attention to facts and not make groundless accusations," she said.
On Thursday, Chinese state media had strongly refuted the original claims by US defense officials, accusing them of "cooking up phony laser stories."
Quoting Chinese military experts, state media tabloid Global Times said Beijing's Djibouti base was "small and serves as logistical support."
"The US should treat the base with a fair attitude and stop making up rumors about it," the expert was quoted as saying.

There are about 4,000 US personnel in Djibouti, based at Camp Lemonnier. The US military places a lot of importance on its ability to base forces in Djibouti given its critically strategic location near countries like Somalia and Yemen, where the US regularly targets terrorists in airstrikes.
But US officials have recently expressed concern about the growing influence of China in Djibouti, noting its establishment of its first military base there and its close economic links with the country.
Djibouti relies heavily on investment capital from the Chinese government and the two have close diplomatic ties.
In late February, US lawmakers raised concerns Djibouti was planning to hand over control of a major commercial port to China, after the local government seized the port and canceled the previous operator's contract.
The port, located beside the Chinese military base, is the primary access point for American, French, Italian and Japanese bases in Djibouti.
Gen. Thomas Waldhauser, who oversees US Africa Command, acknowledged both challenges during an appearance before Congress in March.
"We are taking significant steps on the counterintelligence side so that we have all the defenses that we need there, there is no doubt about that," said Waldhauser, referring to the proximity of the new Chinese base. link https://edition.cnn.com/2018/05/03/politics/chinese-lasers-us-military-pilots-africa/index.html
