[WHPR] Airstrike Aftermath
James S. Brady Press Room
Dateline: Sunday, August 16th, 2015. (Day 2826)
Location: James S. Brady Press Room, The White House
The airstrike has come and gone. The tanks have fought. The money has been spent. The guns have gone silent and the dust has settled. At the end of the day, we failed to land in Paraguay.
This was indeed the first failed airstrike in the history of the eUnited States. It was a hard fought battle, as the NSC worked throughout the night trying to pull as much damage to our side as they could. Division 4 would fall our way all day and night, but Divisions 1-3 proved much harder to deal with. Simple CO’s were simply not enough in most rounds. Only in round 5 were we able to make a significant dent into the point deficit, picking up Divisions 2-4, with D2 having gone epic. At this point, it seemed we would be able to overcome the deficit as the Americas went dark. However, our allies in Europe could only do so much to turn the tide.
The administration applauds the effort of the NSC, but sadly has to admit defeat in this round. As such, BeachBunny addressed congress this morning, admitting fault and promising an inquiry into how the battle was conducted. It is her hope that this will leave our nation with valuable lessons that will make it stronger as we move forward.
As such, I leave you with BeachBunny’s address to Congress:
Hello Congress,
The Airstrike on Paraguay definitely didn’t go as planned. I am disappointed as I’m pretty sure you all our. For this failure, I accept full responsibility. An internal review has already begun into the reasons for this disappointing result. So far, a few key points have been raise
😛
Poor Communication: The AS was not communicated as best it could with the nation. Information was slow to be disseminated and some channels were not effectively utilized.
Timing: The timing of the AS (over the weekend) was a probably not the best as activity over this period is low. However, it should be noted that our allies wanted the help at that time.
We are hopeful that the internal review being conducted will provide insights which will end up being beneficial to the country. While this result is nothing to write home about, it has taught us a few valuable lessons, not the least of which are:
We as a country are not necessarily prepared for an emergency offensive campaign.
Even generous COs can only take one so far in battles.
I am truly sorry for this let down and can only say moving forward, changes would be made to make sure such a loss doesn’t happen again. We can either let our failures crush us, or we can learn from them and be stronger because of them. I chose to learn and be stronger from it.
Regards,
BeachBunny
eUSA President

Lol.

xDDDDDD
She should have addressed the public herself. Oh well.
That little speech need to be presented to American Citizen Soldier in her newspaper not in Private Congress.
For f§$%s sake, when did you hear any Potus in the past claiming responsibility right away after things went sour and without lame excuses for even bigger failures?
Bonus question: who the dumba$$ that was putting COs on after BB went offline???
Well, at least we tried something out of our comfort zone.
Thailand would have been out of our comfort zone also, but....
Don't mess with THAI NUCLEAR POWER!
xD
Most of us know what would have been a better choice to unite the masses 🙂
AS Sweden instead of signing an MPP with them?

It just needed better planning and more support from the 'allies' that requested the help. Just my 2 cents.
I agree with WJ above.
She should approached the citizens first.
Screw Congress.
Though I applaud her for standing up and taking the heat.
Other CP's would have cowered in the WH as some of them did.
That's all fine and dandy that our allies wanted it over the weekend, but if the timing was off then we should have told them to FO.
At the end of the day we kissed Brazil and Argentian's ass.
Sometimes you just have to tell certain allies to fuck off.
Tell the whole Pacifica members to f off!
>Simple CO’s were simply not enough in most rounds.
Didn't see a single cc of CO in D3, meanwhile the paraguyan one was up the whole time..
Obviously weren't there in the beginning when I made 100k in CO's and sent it back to the fight!
First of all: Pacifica is a joke! Besides some Russians I didn't spot any other Pacificans (or should I say pacifists xD ) giving any support. But you can ask co-Secretary General (USA): Derphoof for more information (or excuses) why it is the way it is. Just recently eUS signed an MPP with Sweden. Seen them around? Nope! Looks like the eUS is leader in picking shitty allies.
Secon😛 this is the pay-off for all the flip-flopping, changing allies and a$$kissing of Asterian and pro-Asterian countries. Seen any Slovenian tank on the battlefield? How about Chinese ones? Portuguese? This was supposed to be an effort to help Brazil with Chile. Have you seen Brozilians helping out?
Thir😛 if you know Chile is strong in the lower divisions (and Chilean tanks fought massively for Paraguay - surprise, surprise) then you don't want to have an epic fight in these divisions. I saw CO in D2 130cc if under 100% - who was that idiot to set it??? I'm sure that Might&Magic was please😛 first he tanked for the US until the CO was on, then after it became epic, switched sides and pushed the fight button like crazy!
And last but not least and most important: you can not expect your allies to fight for you when your own citizens ignore the AS and don't deal damage!!!!! Where are all those tank I've seen during the last tournament?? I didn't see many war Inc avatars neither, wonder why? But for a exact analysis I'm gonna wait for the egov4you data available from tomorrow to see how large this sabotage really was.
P.S.
Congrats Pfeiffer for wining PP, USWP will now blossom for sure xD
Just to point out that Pacifican member nations' representatives weren't specifically noted about the upcoming airstrike.
I can't believe XD who set CO's for D2 if wall under 100 ? Muhahahahaha
Must have been one strategic mastermind xD
McCHEHUEPE - HAIL PARAGUAY!! FAIL MURICA!!

Still hoping one day I meet an intelligent Serb
Maybe some day when they let you out of the mental asylum! Just swallow those pills and keep the faith

The SPF killing a game moment by stupid moment
No use in pointing fingers now. What are YOU going to do to make it better?
Same as always, offer a different path, but no one ever chooses it...
And yes, BB hosed SFP's trust.
sFP and trust, that like oil and vinegar, they don't mix
No point in carrying on being salty about it. I can take pot shots all day too but we'll never get anything done.
Oh for fuck sakes George give it a rest..
I have no idea what your beef is with Jude and SFP but at this point you are becoming quite unhinged over this.
Planting the failure of this clusterfucked from the beginning Operation at the feet of SFP is just stupid.
I like you man and consider you a friend, but really?
Nothing to be unhinged about. I was mislead and made a fool of myself yet again. I don't consider anyone affiliated with the SPF my friend.
Fine
AS Failed.
HAS to be the fault of SFP and ESPECIALLY me, right?
smh
Ever wonder why people laugh at you, Pumpkinette? It isn't your failed writing skills, man... it's the logic you fail to use when writing.
Never change, George. Never change. Your salty butt-hurt tears taste mighty yummy on in my gumbo.

Fire everyone in the DoD and NSC now, we have double teamed Chile twice now and both times we got a swift kick to the jewels; turn those MENSA level jack wads out....
RaccoonGoon is a good guy though 😃
You don't need good guys, you need smart ones that are intelligent, fast and know about strategy!
Just blowing off steam, there are several I would rehire, but several others I would like to line up against a eWall as traitors....
Diminishing the pool again?
RaccoonGoon busted his balls trying to rework this shit sandwich.
He is a stand up guy and did a great job coordinating this.
The strategy of this AS was FUBAR from the get go.
The timing was brutal and quite frankly a dumb choice.
The target was pretty stupid as well.
You are joking when you say that this AS was well coordinated and a great job, right?
RC was doing his job. Very well. He just wasn't given the appropriate amount of resources and planning.
Not the AS but RacoonGoon trying to make the best out of this mess.
Trust me the guy really tried.
But a shit sandwich is still a shit sandwich even if serve with a pickle.
"appropriate amount of resource'' You spent 2million CC for a snigle D1 round which was lost at the end..There was CO set for D2 D3 aswell ..knowing that chille,bg and mk have stonger lower divisions you were making it epic on purpose...how much money do you need ? LOL thats crazy...you CP has absolutely no idea how to set CO..ask him how much did he spend for CO...
We spent no where near 2 million for the entire as what are you talking about
So we spent 2 million CC and to replace it we raised taxes to 15%, a 93% increase...FOR HOW LONG?
I just said we spent no where near 2 million for the entire campaign
So how does 2 million justify a massive tax increase???
