I just finished watching zero dark thirty for the first time, and one thing in particular stood out to me. During the infiltration of Bin laden’s compound, the devgru operators would call out the names of the Al qaeda combatants. Specifically when they are on the staircase and calls out “ osama” several times. Does anyone know the tactical advantage of this? Perhaps for identification? Or it’s to lure them out? Or maybe like a taunt? Or is it purely a movie thing.

It's late and I'm posting something (hopefully) funny

Out of curiosity - has there ever been a case where lobbyist misinformation been the root cause of a skirmish?

Ive seen such an amount of z apologia and am wondering why

And especially weak arguments, I always see things said in such a way:

• Zelensky is the problem, not putin

• Zelensky must be forced to negotiate by stripping Ukrainian support and tying its hands

• "Stopping the war", meanwhile no ideas on security guarantees, reparations, accountability"

• russia has X territories and its unlikely that Ukraine will get them back easily, so for peace it is somehow expected that Ukraine lets them go

• Israel -> slightly allied with Ukraine, russia -> somewhat supports Palestine: Ukraine is bad

Why are such statements so common nowadays and such apologia spreading so widely?

can any of you guys pls answer this form about the future of war pls, it doesn't matter how many time as long as i get a few responses i am happy.

I stumbled across a video where I believe these soldiers were going to storm a Pakistani province and I came across this Taliban soldier wearing an ISIS patch, I know for certain Taliban had declared ISIS as their enemy but I’m also confused to why would he wear a patch of his enemies instead of their original banner, I’m no war guru but I just found this pretty bizarre in my case. Let me know what you think, or if this is normal.

video evidence !!

(besides against terrorist)

excuse the question if it sounds dumb i’d just say i’ve never really learned what war zones are like when in a war with another country . let’s say in the ukrainian russian war when they’re patrolling a area that has hostiles are they able to shoot on sight? what if it’s enemy soldiers unarmed? or is it a wait for a green light and depending on what’s currently going on.
