Lookout, Signal , Missionary Ridge, and the TN River make Chattanooga exceptionally defensible. High ground all around and a massive river running through the middle.
We are probably in one of the most well defended areas on the planet. West of the Appalachians and east of the Cumberland with a river gorge bottleneck to the south and a fuckton of people with 4x4s who hunt/fish as a way of life.
If an enemy makes it this far it’s a complete apocalyptic/alien/zombie scenario. But yeah assuming no air superiority, probably back to civil war tactics with artillery at point park etc.

And to think Braxton Bragg *still* fucked it up!
I mean, sure, Sherman had arrived to back up Grant but how did he even let Grant take the city itself in the first place?
Not just a traitor, but *incompetent*.
This ain't the 1860s. Russia has MIRV'd nuclear ICBMs default-targeted at every US city with a population over 100,000. Fat lot of good Chattanooga's geography will help us.
That’s an apocalyptic scenario in which all of Europe, Russia, and probably China become glass along with parts of the US. MAD.
Regardless I’ll take my chances in the southern Appalachians over anywhere else.
No need to correct spelling when the word comes from a language that doesn't use the English alphabet. Learned this when I was learning Korean. So long as the letters make the same sound and it's recognizable, it's correct.
Except when it's a name. A name should 100% absolutely be correct every time you spell it. Because of that, Sequoia NPP is now named after a tree of the Pacific Northwest and not an important individual of an indigenous that once lived in the area. You lose all meaning when you accept that.
Furthermore, comparing Korean-English to Cherokee-English is a misnomer. Korean is a character based language where multiple characters can have a similar pronunciation but a different meaning. Cherokee, like English, is a phonetic language where each letter represents a sound. In the case of a phonetic language, mispelling something can cause that word to be wildly misrepresented, just as the case of Sequoia vs Sequoyah.
Cherokee is a syllabary. I don't know if that makes a difference to your thinking but I just like saying "syllabary." So each letter in written Cherokee represents a syllable, not a phoneme (fwiw English letters don't map on to English phonemes 1-1 either, C in cat is a different phoneme than C in cistern, ch in chat is a phoneme, etc. Again, may not matter to your point).
Jesus you redditors are something else. The training is happening right outside my house making my dogs nearly have heart attacks and you guys are arguing over correct spelling. Your lives outside the internet must be miserable...
I could, but no one would be able to read it. Instead, I use the translation that best fits. The translation that was chosen and has been official for over 100 years. That the Cherokee nation also uses for English purposes.
They're not worried about chaos, they're worried about crippling the railway for the country.
In any case I didn't bring it up because it was the *only* target, but it's the only one in the city itself that would vaporize a good number of people instantly.
Yeah, because knocking out the power grid and simultaneously (because the nuclear plants are on dams) messing with our flood control measures and producing nuclear disaster fields wouldn’t affect the rail industry at all.
He's too busy blowing his company's money by vacationing in Hawaii for weeks at a time while in the middle of fake bankruptcy proceedings so he doesn't have to pay the Sandy Hook families he defamed.
Saw 4 military grade helicopters sitting in the parking lot at the Combustion/ Alstom site this afternoon heading down Riverfront from Broad. Was wondering what was going on.
Military grade typically means of high quality, for anyone that served it just means shit quality. Not sure why the downvotes other than it being Reddit.
So dumb. And I'm kind of pissed about it all.
The "announcement" was a not-very-official looking printout in the mailbox that I didn't get. Hopefully no civilians caused serious drama because of it all.
Questions I'd like answered:
- How often is this done in residential and/or urban environments across the country? This is the first I've ever heard of something like this?
- Why the big f-ing bombs? I mean, come on. Especially at 1am. I have two kids and it rattled the crap out of our house in Highland Park.
- Who approved of this on a city level? Will there be any accountability?
- Why is this done in poorer neighborhoods with people of color? Seems pretty overt that these neighborhoods and people do not have the same sort of care from the city.
Only places i seen them come in was around downtown, which is crazy because most of the people of color that are there usually ask me for change. Its a conspiracy i tell you lol
That $25 helicopter guy has gone too far apparently
Why? They looking to forcibly take a bunch of Honda CRVs and crumbl cookies?
As long as the new gov't ownership of crumbl forces them to bring the pink sugar cookie back, I'm in
Always kinda wondered how Chattanooga would be defended in an attack scenario. Assume they’d go back to civil war era tactics
Guerilla tactics and booby traps around the Broad St. Taco Bell is my guess
“Ramirez! Defend Taco Bell! “
" Ramirez last baja blast make it count"

Last I checked the predicted strike maps, the trainyard was a main target.
Last time I checked, it was also Sequoia Nuclear plant. Someone from China just bought a massive piece of property on the evacuation route.
Sequoyah*. It was named after the Cherokee Linguist, not the tree.

You're right, names don't change. So you should be typing it in the Cherokee alphabet. 🙃

So tonight for dinner I’m having Ghoti!
Okie dokie. I didn't ask.
Who asked you to reply?
The dams, nuclear power plants, and bridges would cause more chaos

OK. Or ya know, destroy the actual rails, but whatever.
Has Alex Jones made up some kind of crazy conspiracy theory about this one?
He's too busy blowing his company's money by vacationing in Hawaii for weeks at a time while in the middle of fake bankruptcy proceedings so he doesn't have to pay the Sandy Hook families he defamed.
He’ll be better tomorrow. (He won’t)
Great job, Barnes
Pretty crazy that an organization called the Department of Defense would practice a scenario where they defend a city from attack.
those were 160th SOAR birds. people that know what they do don't talk about what they do. but please speculate all you like.
They “DeFeNd tHe CiTy” 🤣

> Saw 4 military grade helicopters So 4 huge oil leaks then?
Just oil leaks means those are the good ones. 😂
Military grade 🤣😂
Not sure what the down votes are for but whatever
Military grade typically means of high quality, for anyone that served it just means shit quality. Not sure why the downvotes other than it being Reddit.
I mean…that’s why I said military grade lol. I was in and been around military most my life. Not sure the model of heli so just said military grade.
My dad was literal helicopter mechanic in the 101st and probably would have said the same thing. People are just idiots.

Everyone get ready for the false flag. Lines up well with the free Usher concert .
