The US lost in vietnam because the NVA could fly around like the green goblin and throw grenades at their firebases, I saw it in a videogames

Inherent Resolve has had 23 combat fatalities in ten years and is now just a handful of JSOC guys hanging out on firebases in the desert, Odyssey Dawn and Prosperity Guardian had zero apiece, and the Poaster Industrial Complex treats it all like it's Southeast Asia in 1970

Iran's TBM strike on Al Asad is still stuck in my mind. At a minimum it feels like we should go back and compare OIF/OEF COPs and FOBs to Vietnam era firebases and ask "Why do these look so different?"

the funniest comment I saw about this was someone asking why Halo Infinite didn't have a thing where the firebases you captured would get attacked by the Banished and it's like, bro there's an entire meme (another settlement needs your help) about why people would have complained about this

The IDF will set up firebases to protect the "illegal" settler who will follow. A decade from now, if not sooner, it will become part of Israel.

oh it's a perfectly normal phrase qua phrase, it's just funny in the context of there only being 2 casualties and those being ICE executing random people milling around rather than like viet cong style human wave attacks over minefields to overrun isolated firebases

KADEX, the Korean Arms Expo, seems to exemplify what I and others have said about artillery in Ukraine, towed artillery firebases have become obsolete. Rockets and drones counterbattery is too effective, put them all on vehicles and put indirect fire on everything with wheels.

Mock up of the Vietnam scene. Sheridan is coming along, and I'm thinking about the composition. I bulked out a sandbag wall, in accordance to reference pics of forward firebases. I'd considered doing a quonset hut facade but couldn't justify SGT Richard would be showering outside. 😅 #histscalemodels

This is an army that lives on force multipliers. They are also very well trained and very experienced. They can handle very complicated tactics.
Traditionally, this meant mounted deployments, squad heavy weapons, and overlapping specialized mobile firebases. Plus chainswords as a backup.

Special thanks to @geektoylove.bsky.social for this approx. 1/10000 scale of Halo's Phoenix class vessel for the stardock. Yes the little D20 Herons, or firebases, are included so very great to see these details.

There’s literally no evidence of Hamas using hospitals as shelters or firebases, you’re full of shit.

I received an Osprey book on Vietnam firebases last Xmas because I want to build some terrain in these styles for a sci-fi project.

Donut Dollies were American women hired by the Red Cross to serve in-country during the #VietnamWar. They had recreation centers in many large base camps and visited troops on firebases - providing a distraction from the war. Read more about them here: cherrieswriter.com/2017/11/03/g...

There were several thousand firebases during the conflict, manned by many units and many men, but they were all the same. Con Thien was special to those that were there. Keith Nightingale tells what it was like for the Marines during the siege. cherrieswriter.com/2022/03/26/h...

Captain, where shall we dig our trenches? Which way is the enemy?
All around us! Everywhere!
Like American firebases in South Vietnam.
There are no flanks.
Every perimeter line is a front.

This will be Venezuela, isolated firebases that conduct recon and search and destroy missions. FARC is expert in jungle warfare and this is their terrain. They fought Columbia in an insurgency that lasted 50 years.
