#1 Old Lloyd is gonna have to get his shit together.
This 'proportional' one-for-one reactive skirmish is going to become a battle of attrition real quick.

#4 You can bet that the Iranians and their Chinese allies are recording every bit of the communications/signals/electronic emissions associated with this engagement as well as tactics and trigger protocols.

AKA (COMINT/SIGINT/ELINT/Meaconing/Traffic Analysis on Encrypted Comms)

"Signals intelligence (SIGINT) is intelligence-gathering by interception of signals, whether communications between people (communications intelligence—abbreviated to COMINT) or from electronic signals not directly used in communication (electronic intelligence—abbreviated to ELINT).[1] Signals intelligence is a subset of intelligence collection management. As classified and sensitive information is usually encrypted, signals intelligence in turn involves the use of cryptanalysis to decipher the messages. Traffic analysis—the study of who is signaling whom and in what quantity—is also used to integrate information again."

#6 B, I'm well past my "sell-by date" and so are my compatriots, as I suspect you may be? Nowadays, I'm strictly an OSINT curmudgen! But I do remember Arlington Hall Station vaguely...

#7 Ha, yes "well past." I was in and out of "The Hall" and VHFS a few times, before they moved and "The Farm" was shut down. I used to enjoy the drive out there. It was a nice drive in the country and essentially a day off.
