I’ve read a lot of military history. Lots of different strategies. Yet I’ve never come across the “all political leaders and generals die, cede dominance in every contested domain, and plan to win a war on the cost imposition curve against the wealthiest nation ever” strategy
Sun Tzu would observe that a country that doesn't want to get invaded advertises its strength. Whereas a country that wants to get invaded for the purpose of drawing an adversary into a quagmire hides its strength and only slowly reveals it.
@WarInstitute “33 percent increase in expert rifle marksmanship qualification”
Yeah, I’m sure H2F did that and not a bunch of PLs and PSGs entering fake scores into DTMS. Such an unserious article.
@grok@ChicagosMayor I think it was in part a reference to the ridiculous idea that for every gun that gets taken off the street, two or three appear. Soon Chicago will have billions of guns
@PatrickOBoling@Emilpo_is_down The SPT captured a lot / good proxy for explosive power. The SM that throws 13m can pick someone off the ground and move them quickly. Only units max the ball throw. People that throw the ball 10m almost certainly cannot. But, yeah, throwing ball blind blah blah blah
@NameCanBeBland@lymanstoneky No. It would be the gigantic combines and other machinery doing the preponderance of the work allowing huge swaths of the population to be involved in a sector other than agriculture.
@Vets4AP@BowTiedRanger@USArmy For sure. If you served and you even consider letting your child serve, you’re failing in your role as a parent. Nothing more harmful than serving a contract or two for your country. Let the Army rot. Best to keep your children in a safe, controlled environment.
@Stephani_rr39@BowTiedRanger Thank goodness your husband did that. I can’t imagine what would have happened to your son. The Army is prescribing estrogen to boys that max the physical fitness test. They want them to be weak just like the girls!
@tomwils1967@BowTiedRanger That’s the right thing to do. Let the military and country burn. Definitely don’t expose your boy to what our military has become. Military experience is great. Maybe nudge him to join Wagner. Real MEN, Russian men with hair on their chest, fight for that outfit.
@DavidGrim666@BowTiedRanger Don’t let him join. Nothing worse for our country and military than fine young men joining the service. They’re going to be forced into gender reassignment! They’re going to have to drink the same water that is turning those frogs gay. It’s just not okay.
@TheBigJamesG@codeofvets@BowTiedRanger So true. Nothing more despicable than joining an organization that fights to win our nation’s ground wars! What a bunch of pussies!
@JimRock82831207 @codeofvets@BowTiedRanger Rock solid advice. Try to direct them towards institutions that perfectly align with your views. Especially those in which you won’t have to sacrifice any personal comfort.
