Man I fucked up & need help or maybe to sell a kidney.

I was on maritime patrol for this FIFA / 4th of July stuff the last couple of weeks and got in the habit of bringing along my personal nods for night ops and to show some of my guys how much better they are than the caveman PVS7s that are still in use for some reason. I’ve been bringing them along for weeks without issue. Well tonight my dumbass brings them to pitch the CDR on pressing HQ for some new gear. The shift went well but…….. when I got my bags and cooler back to the truck I threw everything in the backseat and slammed the door or at least I thought. I proceeded to reverse out and heard my tire make a strange sound. As bad luck would have it, my bnvd case must have fallen out and I fucking backed into the soft case but didn’t run it over just kind of began to. The pics show the two sets of binos and their current state.

  1. 1431 MK2 with Omni VIIs, the housing is dead and one of the objective lenses is fucked.

  2. DTNVS MG with L3 filmed 2300’FOM, the housing is fucked, lenses are ok and eyepiece is looks good to go and I can save the stops I installed.

When I run out tears, I need advice where to get the DTNVS MG purchased, swapped and purged first. I’m also interested in housing recommendations for the 1431 MK2. I know I ran the thing over but damn, that Chinese housing basically exploded. If it’s easier to buy another one I will but wanted to get some advice from the guys who are smarter than I. Thanks gents.

The US is miscalculating Iran’s strategy.

Behind closed doors, Iran may be in discussions on the long game strategy that would benefit China, Russia and several unnamed Gulf countries.

One of China’s objectives is to manipulate Iran by convincing the IRGC not to capitulate to US demands. This would put unwanted pressure on the US administration and if successful, risks drawing the US into a longer conflict.

While this may have dire consequences for Iran’s leadership, it is potentially more detrimental to the US in the long term. If Iran publicly refuses to surrender the enriched uranium and makes statements that a nuclear weapon is not only possible but imminent, the US will have no choice but to engage in a broader conflict. If and when this happens, public support for the war will further wane.

If this happens, the midterms will likely be lost to the Democratic Party beginning the end of the 47th’s administration’s control of the house. This would also exacerbate the angst likely jeopardizing any Republican hopes for a successful 2028 election year.

**With a potential victory by the Democratic Party in 2028, Iran, China, Russia and other adversaries of the US, would enter a recalibration period. During this time, a new administration with an Obama-like appeasement strategy would provide sufficient opportunity to further promote and weaken the social divide. This is why I believe that regardless of if any MOU is signed, it will not last.**
