I had a chance meeting with a survivor of that attack.

I was riding the subway home from hich school in the city.  The guy was standing next to me.  He was headed to a rehab center for help with his traumatic brain injury.

He said the weaponry that was used to secure the perimeter only rotated 180 degrees.  So, once the suicide bombers were inside the perimeter, those guns were useless.  That's how the suicide bombers were able to get so close to the barracks.

The guns were useless anyway because, IIRC, they were not loaded.

Israel struck 320+ military targets in Gaza Strip from Sunday into Monday: IDF
By Kaydi Pelletier

In a "real-time update" posted on its website Monday, the Israel Defense Forces said it struck more than 320 military targets in the Gaza Strip over a daylong period.

"The terror targets were struck based on IDF and ISA [Israel Security Authority] intelligence, and included tunnels containing Hamas terrorists, dozens of operational command centers (some of which concealed Hamas and Islamic Jihad terrorists) and more," said the news brief, published at 8:50 a.m. local time (1:50 a.m. ET).

"The IDF struck targets that posed a threat to forces in the area surrounding the Gaza Strip who are preparing for ground operations, including dozens of mortar shell and anti-tank missile launch posts.

"Overnight, an IDF tank thwarted a number of terrorist cells, including an anti-tank missile cell."

The guns were useless anyway because, IIRC, they were not loaded.

I had a Marine in my battery in the late 80's who had been there.

The guards had live ammo in their magazines, but they didn't have rounds chambered.  It was even worse with the crew served weapons because the belts of ammo weren't even allowed to have been in the weapon at all, even unchambered.   The guards armed with rifles essentially had to make two decisions -- the decision to chamber and the decision to fire -- based on the same criteria -- that they had to act "immediately" in self-defense.  Well, by definition, you couldn't fire when that was the case because you first had to chamber the weapons.  And by the time you did that, you'd missed the "immediate" window for opening fire.

Crew-served weapons had no chance at all, and the rifle fire alone likely would not have been enough even if those guys did have time.

 Fox News reporter Trey Yingst visibly shaken as he shares gruesome details of Hamas terrorist’s Israel massacre confession
By Alexandra Steigrad   
Published Oct. 23, 2023, 12:11 p.m. ET

Fox News war correspondent Trey Yingst said he had to censor the brutality uttered by a captured Hamas terrorist who admitted to doing “things humans do not do.”

Yingst obtained a video of what the terrorist told Israeli forces, but spared viewers the most disturbing details from his confession of the Oct. 7 massacre that killed more than 1,400 Israelis.

“I do need to warn our viewers, what I am about to describe is incredibly graphic, but it gives new details on what took place two weeks ago,” the visibly shaken reporter said during Saturday’s broadcast.

The terrorist told interrogators their “commanders said they could do whatever they felt like doing and that this was a suicide mission, telling them they should not plan on coming back,” according to the video, which was first reported on by Mediaite.

“He says commanders told them to step on the heads of civilians, to behead them and do whatever they felt like,” Yingst said. “He went on to talk about how Hamas and ISIS are being compared. The interrogator asked him about this comparison, and he agreed. He said, we burned, we slaughtered, and beheaded people.”

Hamas is reportedly prepared to Release at least 50 Duel-Citizen Hostages to the International Red Cross in Southern Gaza following Negotiations between the Terror Organization and Qatar; according to the Red Cross, once they have Custody of the Hostages they will be Turned Over to Isreali Forces along the Border with the Gaza Strip in order to be Reunited with their Families.

The question is one of if this does become a regional conflict, which side will China support (aside from China)? Will this lead to more direct conflict between the US and Chinese forces?

Yep. There is no other reason for China's ships to be there, except to exert hegemony.

'Accidentally' hit one of our carrier groups, and the S will HTF: WWIII. Escalation could happen in a matter of minutes, not days. We're off balance and poorly led for such a situation, and Biden is no FDR to hang another term of getting us into conflict. Our manufacturing is behind even the ghost of itself of the mid 30s, and there has been no ramp up like with Lend Lease. Too many eggs are in technological baskets the bugs have not been shaken out of, including the Ford.

Add in that it seems everyone seems to have forgotten the horror of nuclear war, and the Muslims really don't care (shaheed and all that), and this is worse by far than the Cuban Missile Crisis, and led by an administration perfused with anti-American people who have other loyalties.
