#MIA/POW

[eltristan]

Fact: equipment loss numbers are easier verify than KIA/wounded numbers.

Only the Ruzzians could know how many of their own Putin has killed by attempting to conquer Ukraine, but they're probably in denial (hell, the US still hasn't admitted how many soldiers were killed in Vietnam -- and we continue to pad the MIA/POW rolls which just mean "body not recovered/person who could've verified death also dead") ...

Equipment is easier to verify -- it rarely disappears into red mist and almost always leaves some kind of metal skeleton that can be photographed.

That's where it's worth checking in to see how much carnage has accumulated in 365 calendar days -- and bearing in mind that initially Oryx lagged by about a week but it's real numbers.

Compare to all US equipment losses in all the wars on terror and Iraq since 9/11 2001 or -- it's really beyond comparison.

So, it appears Vladimir rasPutin forgot to ask his Delphic seer an important question before 02/22/2022 at 22:22:22 Moscow time regarding launching at the auspicious astrological alignment the holy crusade that will devestate and destroy the Nazis, "Are we the baddies?"

Anyway, queueing this up, it's August 2022 right now but let's see where we're at at the 1-year 2023 mark, if the Ruzzians haven't tried to nuke everything by then. I'm predicting Ukraine will still be kicking butt but war's a slog:

Thinking that once the Ruzzians finish repairing the Kerch bridge, Ukraine will hit it for good this time.

Ukraine will make good progress towards Crimea and Mariupol but strategy will be not to rush in to hold territory. Focus will instead be the same as during the initial (textbook) defense-in-depth, to force Ruzzians to assault meat grinder kill zones. Ukraine won't give up their defense advantage, instead "defending forward" as they receive increasing resources, equipment and training while attriting larger numbers of Ruzzians as Putler gets desperate and throws more and more conscripts.

I expect it'll be interesting to watch.

❥ Day 11 - Favourite photo(s) of Catherine with the British royal family Catherine's relationship with the Windsor family is quite possibly one of my favorite things ever. She's the daughter Charles always wanted, is Camilla and Sophie's best friend, Anne and Tim adore her, and she's the ride-or-die for William's siblings Zara and Mike and their families. Edward is like the dorky uncle who’s almost a best friend. Even though we don't get to see her interact with the younger Edinburghs as much, the short time we do see them together only proves that she's like an older sister to them. And even I, with my complicated relationship with the Yorks, can admit that, despite what everyone would have us believe, the girl squad of Bea, Cat, and Genie proves everyone wrong with their friendship.

There are no words to truly say how sad I am that these heroes are missing. God help and be with those who are alive. And please bring them home. God help and be with their families and give them comfort and closure.

September Day #15 Today is National POW/MIA Recognition Day and in honor of that I drew September in the mint and white uniform worn by the nurses of Vietnam. Though POW and MIA have been missing and captured for many many years it was Vietnam that brought it more into the limelight hence my choice. Remember those who are continued to be counted MIA and continue to be imprisoned.

Today is National POW/MIA Recognition Day. We would like to tell you about United States Air Force Lieutenant Colonel Jose David Luna of Orange, California. Then-Major Luna was a North Vietnamese Prisoner of War for six years from March 10, 1967, until his release during Operation Homecoming on March 4, 1973. During his captivity, Luna was held at the “Hanoi Hilton,” “Zoo,” and ��Dogpatch” prison camps.

A month after his release, 32-year-old Major Luna attended the season opening game of the American League’s California Angels and Kansas City Royals at Angel Stadium in Anaheim, California and, with an assist from President Nixon, threw out the first ball of the game. In October 1989, Luna retired from the Air Force with the rank of Lieutenant Colonel.
