In case people aren't clear, these soldiers are the operators of the additional THAAD system they are deploying to Israel. These aren't infantry being sent to kick in doors alongside the IDF. THAAD is a ballistic missile defense system with no offensive capabilities. We already have a THAAD unit deployed to Israel.

Don't be mad because you expect to see headlines saying US Soldiers are killing civilians in Gaza. Be mad because this enhances Israel's ability to continue escalating conflict with Iran and hiding behind US cover when Iran strikes back.

That's not what's going on here, but okay I guess.

Edit to insert a comment I wrote elsewhere:

They are the soldiers responsible for operating the missile defense system.

I think that's why they said between the maintenance cost and market price.

I would pay to watch that ad.

How long will this be visible once it happens? The article doesn't seem to say. I'm assuming it's not a blink and you'll miss it kind of thing.

Army combat uniforms even come pretreated with it.

It could potentially work out like netflix letting users keep the discs they had.

I 100% would not want an image like that to pop up in front of a coworker. I'm on board with you, OP.

There are many causes of power surges. While one potential cause is poorly maintained equipment, that is far from the only cause. Things like lightning strikes, tree or storm damage, load fluctuations, or equipment faults can cause them. They happen quickly enough that the protective systems can't always prevent damage to equipment downstream, but those systems are designed to protect the distribution equipment, not the loads themselves. Surge protectors are designed to protect your loads from surges and are important devices to protect sensitive equipment. OP is supposedly an electrical engineer, but this is either outside of their wheelhouse or they are just trying to jump on the enshittification bandwagon.

Then why would you imply that power surges are necessarily caused by shitty infrastructure and not by physics/nature/technical limitations/unpreventable system faults? Just to feed into the enshitification circle-jerk?
