I hate leading raids because every target, every establishment is full of insufferable jackasses who get kicks out of shitting on everything good in this world. None the less I try to lead them because the idea of sticking something sharp and serrated into the bloated breasts of some Ffffed up hyperfurry with a fetish for eating excrement makes me feel really good, even if it's on the internet.
When it comes to leading combat operations, I've very much gone the go home and be a family man route. I have fine people like Carrious do my work for me while I smoke expensive tobacco behind a mahogany desk somewhere in South America. Meanwhile, he's out turning Charlie into dust with the rest of A-3. What do I do? I watch Hockey on TV and complain about language studies, then ramble on about cavalry charges.
Jk.
I prefer cold steel to gunfights, guttural clashes of metal against bone. The bullet is a mad thing - the bayonet knows what war's about. It's all on the internet, but I raid because I have promised to get at least one close combat kill a day to satisfy my tribe with a skull fit for drinking from when the war gods finally ascend from the underworld.

Wow, holy shit. Nerves of steel to go down into a ship in nothing but a copper diving helmet, a rubber suit and a thick, vulnerable air hose. I think it's nothing short of extreme that so many days after the sinking divers were still going in to disable unexploded Japanese munitions.
Edit:
Reading some of the excerpts on Amazon. Insane and disgusting stuff, especially the part where he gets caught up on a work station inside the ship and the suction he creates pulls all of the floating bodies onto him.

Scuba, probably.

This is a fantastic video taken inside the USS Arizona with the help of a remote controlled miniature submarine while the wreck was going under analysis in preparation for preservation and fuel oil extraction. Most of us here are, no doubt, familiar with what happened to the Arizona while she laid in port at Pearl Harbor. Those of you who don't: She was hit by a high altitude, high velocity Japanese bomb that penetrated several decks and landed in the forward ammunition magazine. On detonation, the ships magazines exploded and effectively broke her spine, causing her to sink. As the ship sank, American sailors inside and outside of the stricken ship continued resistance with whatever arms available, a futile but extremely courageous effort against faster flying Japanese planes.
1,177 US sailors died at their posts and the ship is a designated war tomb and diving the area is against the law unless one is granted special and rare permission by local administration.
In early 2003, talks about preservation efforts began. Even though it's a war tomb, the ship holds several thousand units of live ammunition for a variety of calibers and huge amounts of fuel oil. As is the nature with all things in water, the hull of the ship has begun degrading at such a rate that it may spill that fuel oil any time. Small amounts of it are already leaking daily and it is a danger not only to the wildlife in the area, but the local population, the port and the Navy. The rear magazine is also still at capacity and while it is unlikely that it'll explode because it's under water, having dozens 14 inch shells underneath a memorial where thousands of people go to is considered a health and safety risk.
In this video, a ROV is lowered from the memorial above the Arizona to the stricken ship below. It navigates through the corridors and rooms of the ship with the help of an operator, giving us an insight into what daily life on the Arizona was like, what condition the ship was in on that day of infamy and what condition she is in now.

The popular opinion is that even if gun prices rise, the cops will still be powerless to stop anyone.

The cops are Ffffing stupid. End of story.

So you're basically given the controls of a carrier strike group?

The terror camp isn't being totally removed. It's just being moved to a new, so far unspecified location. From what I've heard as well, the prices there for weaponry, armor and vehicles will be far lower than what they will be in legal cities.

Rommel committed several campaign level errors during the war in North Africa. But they're not exactly errors that he is to be faulted for. Rommel had tanks, but his issue was his inability to replace said tanks because of Hitler's unwillingness to focus on the North African campaign instead of sending all war material to the Eastern front. To give an example, when Rommel assaulted the city of Tobruk the initial attack was a success and his troops achieved breakthroughs front-wide. It was his inability to replace his mounting casualties that forced him to retreat and the British were able to exploit this weakness. Prior to the retreat phase, Rommel had pushed the Allies back in an astonishing offensive across entire deserts, without losing a single battle. Out of all the generals in North Africa, or the world at the time, Rommel was the most respected and feared. But Patton didn't fear the man. Not because he knew he could defeat Rommel, but because he knew he had numerical and logistical superiority. He could outlast Rommel in all scenarios because when push came to shove, he knew Rommel couldn't replenish his dwindling force of tanks, men or limited supplies. If the roles were reversed, Patton and the British would have surely lost North Africa.
Don't forget, Rommel had already been at war for four years. In France, he commanded the feared 7th Panzer, or "Ghost Division," which the Germans themselves couldn't keep track of because of how fast he was moving. The 7th Panzers still hold the world record of most territory covered in a day. If Rommel would have been provided the reinforcements he so direly needed, it's not a question of if he would've been able to turn the tide - he would've turned the tide.

Charging into Rasman in the middle of the night, armed with AKs was possibly the highlight of my day. Along with Huttser's Bradley blowing up. Allahu akbar, Awanken is avenged, lmao.
