re: #129 Shiplord Kirel

Another bit of real information about the Liberty incident: Two squadrons of the IDF/AF were specifically tasked with, and trained for, anti-shipping operations in addition to their usual close support mission. Neither of these participated in the attack. We know this because the antiship squadrons used the old Dassault Ouragan fighter bomber and the Liberty attackers were the much newer Mirage IIIs.

If you have the time & inclination maybe you should consider putting the above and your #110 into a comment in response to the OP in the dead thread.

I’ve never served in the military and was too young to remember the incident, so all I could do was challenge what felt like sneaky insinuation to me. Being older & having military knowledge might give your response more weight.

Or maybe this whole conflict has made me hypersensitive and I’m just imagining things. Hard to tell sometimes.
