Many countries and combatants SPECIFICALLY TARGET red cross personnel and equipment. Putting transponders on them will make it worse. Our medics stopped wearing the red cross and started carrying weapons to conceal themselves. Also, CASEVAC exists, and can be targeted..so..... None of it matters if no one enforces the convention. When is Russia going to be punished for the laundry list of war crimes it has committed in Ukraine alone in the past year?

anthrax is everywhere, no big deal. teh vax for anthrax is worse than anthrax as far as I'm concerned.

"Finish him off" is a term doesn't typically apply to our own wounded, it usually is in reference to making sure the enemy aircraft is dead, or the tank is destroyed, or the bunker is truly silenced, etc. Speaking as a US combat vet. Using it reference to killing our own wounded, we value life, Russians do not. But even in the US military, medical personnel have tons of stories about wounded US soldiers coming to and asking about their manhood, and asking to die if it was gone.

Update it? why? nobody follows it as is anyways. And nobody enforces it either.

25:00 US torpedoes aren't threaded, they use clips to connect them together

Russia attacks civilians because they have no clue how to win a war.

some have been sent to ukraine without a weapon, according to intercepted phone calls.

7:28 you absolutely CAN run a military when ignoring half your population. Humans have done it for nearly ALL of history. Deal with it. To win in war, you need your best, and that other half of the population is the lesser half in terms of combat potential. They are below average performers overall, depending upon the role.

Russia has violated most of the geneva conventions as it stands anyways. Murdering civilians, torture, targeting civilians, killing POWs, etc.
1
you give russian officers too much credit. Most Russians prior to the war served next to no time at all. their regulars were very inexperienced, and most of them died long ago. now they are grabbing anyone and everyone to send to Ukraine with literally no experience of any kind. the last thing on their minds is trash discipline. these are not professional soldiers.

@DanielsPolitics1 what consequences? Our medics stopped wearing the red cross and carried guns and manned the turrets? why? they were being TARGETED specifically. Who is holding Russian accountable for its war crimes in Ukraine? What about Iran's war crimes? What about China's crimes against humanity (genocide, slavery, etc.?)? Even in WW2 the germans hid ammo in red cross vehicles, and people have targeted US red cross vehicles and personnel in almost every war since WW2, without consequences. And lets not mention the use of mercenaries in war is a war crime.....and torture of POWs, executing POWs, etc. Conducting attacks out of a place of worship is a war crime too. And technically using it to stage attacks voids its protection, yet the US still didn't attack Mosques even when they did use them.

12:08 wrong, for the US at least. our overmatch is so ridiculous that we'll always have a degree of safe zones. it will never be on the front. mind you OIF and OEF mostly occurred as an occupation, not as a moving front line. We know exactly how to fight a war with an advancing front line. Did it in 1991, and 2003, and we can do it again. You need to study the appropriate periods of OIF to understand. you're never safe on the front line of an advance, nor outside a guarded FOB. Why were FOBs in OEF/OIF safe overall? Aerostats with radar, and counter battery fire. As well as counter artillery fire (intercepting the artillery midair). we made it very hard for them to shell us. Our artillery smashed theirs. Our airpower operated uncontested. Russia effectively has no airpower over Ukraine, they launch from within Russia proper. If the US faced this right now, it would be an unfair curb stomp of Russia's remaining airpower. their airfields in range of Ukraine would be wiped out in the first days. the US doesn't fight like Ukraine, nor like Russia. these problems in Ukraine would not exist for us the same way.

and almost every country ignores them anyways...why? Because no one enforces it.

F-16 use bombs to conduct SEAD/DEAD missions, and so can an A-10, just saying.

1:15 I actually used driving out in open terrain in Afghanistan as a tactic, with great success. Thwarted multiple attacks that way.

@moldypizza__ I completely agree. and the NATO nations have been trying to get other nations to free up any Mig29 and parts, by offering to replace their Mig29 with other jets, just to get more Mig29 to Ukraine ASAP. And it's a smart move. There are just so few nations left flying Mig29 that are friendly to western nations, and can afford to give them up (as in, many of the replacement jets will be good, but cost more to own and operate as well, making it hard for poorer nations to justify giving up their Mig29s unless given something like the Gripen).
1
@CieplinskiPawel LOL! I love the A-4, not many left in service though. But definitely simple, effective. Would be interesting to se some of these older jets upgraded with Fly by wire, modern avionics, modern radar, modern sensors, modern weapons, modern engines, modern airframe materials....and see how they would stack up.
1
@alexwalker2582 partially because it still is one of THE best dogfighters ever made. It can even best the F-22 in a visual maneuvering fight if the pilot is skilled with the F-16 (according to USAF pilots).
1
@CieplinskiPawel You may have meant F-4, but typed A-4. But you're point is valid with both as you say. Not many F-4s left though either. And the last F-8 weren't retired all that long ago either.

@trevorcrook5753 "Russia has or can destroy any airfield in Ukraine easily" then why haven't they? Russia has thus far failed to eliminate all of Ukraine's aircraft and infrastructure. blow up an airfield, repair it. Eventually Russia will run out of missiles. Also, Ukraine now has the means of defending those airfield and intercepting most of the incoming missiles. Russia hasn't stopped Ukraine from striking its airfields either. How does Russia plan to keep Crimea/Sevastopol safe from F-16s?
1
@p_serdiuk Quite possible, but never say never. But that's not the point. Most nations aren't facing wars with the US, they are facing wars with neighbors who lack any sort of stealth capability. And the F-16 is a great multirole dogfighter that can do it all. Air supremacy, SEAD, DEAD, anti-ship, CAS, anti-tank, interdiction, etc. All while being able to defeat literally almost any air threat. There are no F-22s in the skies over Ukraine (at least that we know of, and at least none Ukraine has to fight). But if an F-16 managed to close with an F-22 somehow (and it is entirely possible), it could score a kill. Imagine the embarrassment if Ukraine managed to shoot down a Su57 with an F-16?
1
@p_serdiuk "It would be exceptionally hard for an F-16 to close in on an F-22 that has AWACS support without being detected first, and that's a huge hurdle." I don't disagree at all, but it is still possible. Surprise attack, using terrain masking, managing to pretend to be civil airplane, attacking in overwhelming numbers with speed, preventing F-22/s from handling them all at the same time, etc. Also, the US military has technology that even they claim is a "stealth equalizer", making it possible for an F-16 to detect and fire on an F-22 from over 100mi away. And thus basically making it back into a normal 4th gen fight. For every new offensive weapon, a defense is invented. And for every new defense, a new offensive capability is developed. the wheel never stops turning.

@nicolepham3836 even better

@Omegatonboom " I don't get the point of your comment." complaining about a comment you don't understand.....while claiming the comment is wrong....even though you admitted not knowing what the comment is about.... Are you familiar with the word, "ironic"?

IEDs are extremely easy if you understand them properly. That's why my unit was so good at counter-IED overseas. But IEDs ar not ideally suited for the type of warfare in Ukraine.
1
25:18 rare? depends. They constantly used to give them to us on range days and we usually had no use for them, so we'd just pile them with leftover explosives at the end of the day and blow everything in one big daisy chain. We did play with them against wire and such at times though. But far more often we were given them and had nothing we could use them for.
1
@RyanMcBethProgramming I was in 2004-2012, we always had bangalores. We'd get multiple crates of them at a time. Sometimes we'd see how long a string of them we could make. I've used them at four different installations in 3 different states over those years. Never used them overseas as we had no use for them. We used MICLIC, APOBS, etc. overseas. We were shown how to make improvised torpedos, but never had to do it. We also used the shaped charges, cratering charges, satchel charges, CompB, LOTS of det cord, C4, improvised clearing and cutting charges, etc. Heck at times we even used the enemy's own IEDs for our own destructive ends a few times. We'd find/clear them, put them in the truck, then use them to blow up something else. But on the ranges they'd give us all sorts of stuff to play with. We'd bring in old cars, one guy brought in a boat, and we'd blow them up. One time we obliterated an M60 tank. We started with a whole tank initially. We just kept packing all our leftover demo on/under it and blowing up the pieces that were left until we ran out of explosives.

but, weren't hypersonic missiles supposed to be the real game changer? Russia can't even handle rocket artillery.

Speaking as a combat vet and as a professional pilot, there is "how it is supposed to sound", and then there is "how it actually sounds". Now, sometimes it's our local com channel where we are supper relaxed. This example of radio chatter wasn't really all that bad. there are some truly egregious examples out there however. Your version WAS better though. As a professional pilot, we get rather informal with ATC at times, and when not on with tower, coms can get more "normal" as well. As long as it is clear who is speaking and to whom, and the airways aren't being blocked by needless chatter. And you gotta know when to shut up. In combat we had our own made-up code words and lingo on internal coms for our unit, but switched back to proper coms when coordinating with other units or making reports.

that's illegal, it's 100% unconstitutional. FEMA has NO legal authority to do that. People own guns and do not have to give them up. homes are inside the area and are full of guns. you can't deny people help for exercising their freedoms.

@yannikoloff7659 Russia murdered POWs, targets civilians, raped, murdered, tortured, and kidnapped civilians in Ukraine, and no one cares.
1
@bootmii98 I don't have to justify anything. but collateral damage is part of war, get over it.
1
@bootmii98 Taliban, had medics? You realize they were not an organized military force, right? Yes, the Iraqis probably did, except the part where thy were defeated so fast, that most of the war was fought agaisnt insurgents, and most of those insurgents weren't even Iraqis.

this is a naive stance. if nobody abides by it in the first place, what's the point?

now do it without the Bradley...
