Peace through strength has averted more wars than " peace in our time " appeasement.


Bullshit, it CREATES wars by requiring justification for the military buildup, needlessly provokes and leads to the "if you have a hammer..." philosophy of problem solving, which has got us neck deep in twin disasters in the middle east, NEITHER of which were necessary, or even *possible* by throwing a 2nd Gen army at 4th Gen warfare.

The days of epic scale gotterdamerung battles and human wave glory charges shoulder to shoulder, are OVER - they've BEEN over for fifty fuckin years, but we still have an army that trains to dress right after musket volleys and needs their goddamn hand held over the radio every step of the way cause god forbid they show one ounce of initiative and ruin their careers, oh noes...

You know what most of special forces training is ?
UN-training that do-nothing-without-explicit-orders stupidity drummed into em in BASIC!

One thing the movie Blackhawk Down got right, once you cut radio comm, US Army units just kinda mill around in total confusion, easy prey for a motivated and autonomous opponent.

Thankfully, not ALL commanders are complete idiots - that very initiative and self-reliance which otherwise made me wholly unsuitable for military service, one particular CO found a need for - see, I had this tendency to actually go and DO something appropriate to the situation instead of standing around with my head up my ass like everydamnbody else in the company, whether some NCO was there to supervise or not, there's ALWAYS something useful to do, and I mean *useful*, not bullshit detail to waste time while real work goes undone.

Anyhows, they needed someone capable of even more autonomy than an artillery spotter, cause due to Kolchuga and RDF, radio contact was suicide.
My job woulda been getting food supply to units where resupply by air was either impossible or would needlessly reveal their position - so I got a truck full of MREs, a full tank of gas, a map with "there were somewhere around here, sorta, last time we checked", and a vietnam relic M16 with a shot out bore and dangerously worn action which got tossed behind the seat first thing, cause I couldn't see any situation where I might NEED the damn thing that running someone over with the freakin truck wouldn't solve quicker - trust me, you would NOT wanna be in a technical that caught the front end of a deuce n a half at 30+mph, you just wouldn't...

So they needed someone they could hand the goods, the mission, and then wave fare-thee-well and expect the job to actually get DONE, and couldn't up till that point find anyone, cause anyone who could do that would have been either co opted into airborne or spec forces, or someone so damn unsuitable for service otherwise they'd likely spend more time in the brig than on the field.

Heh, I once got "detailed" to the freakin PX video arcade with a roll of quarters and an MP who was ordered to NOT LET ME LEAVE till 18:00hours, by a captain so irate with me re-organising his time-waster details to actually get the job done in a reasonable amount of time, contrary to his purpose, and since he couldn't ADMIT that, military tradition and all, he borrowed an MP sergeant and stuck me with a bullshit detail to keep me outta the way, one he KNEW I wouldn't raise too much a fuss about.

Same damn captain two months later, sent me down to the pistol range to expend a significant amount of pistol ammunition under the laughable pretense that it was nearing it's expiration date and that would make it unsafe to have in the company armory...

Anyhows, we desperately NEED to retrofit our military for 4th Gen warfare, or even better, for once think AHEAD instead of resting on past glory.

"Strength" comes in many forms, and while numbers count for something, skill and tactics count for more, and despite our techno toy advantage, our infantry is at a serious DIS-advantage in the current combat environment, one made all the worse by focusing on physical strength and endurance at the expens

We need a SMARTER army, not a bigger one.


Semantics. Peace through strength wins out over appeasement. Always.

Now we know why they didn’t want to release the entire video.

Decarlos Brown can be heard saying:

“I got that white girl.”

After he murdered the innocent Iryna Zarutska

Dems and Media didn’t want Americans to see the racial aspect.

Think about that.
