  1. After 12 years in the Corps, I took a break, and realized I missed the military enough to take another shot at it in the Guard. On the other end of that, my longest term platoon commander, for whom which I was his platoon sergeant, Agreed that I conducted myself the entire time like a Marine who was detached to the United States Army. So on behalf of every time I said some version of "You know, there's another way to do that.." I apologize for myself and perhaps some of my less tactful brothers and sisters. We are but a simple people, at times. 🤣🤷🏽 You are absolutely right about the difference in Army and Marine Corps versions of esprit de corps. My Engineers were always Engineers first and Soldiers second. But they were seriously proud of being 12Bs, and in time I came to grudgingly admit that "Essayons!" kinda grew on me too. "The Army is something you did, the Marine Corps is something you are." I don't know how right or wrong you are about the Army, But looking back at my history, and my family's history... You're absolutely right about the Corps. Thanks, SFC. This was solid. Much appreciated.

  2. This is one of the warmest, most humane and highly specific attempts at justifying lack of wage parity. A missing portion is the amount of profits the company was making, while people weren't making the salary increases they were supposed to.

  3. If your Dad was a Corpsman in Vietnam, he was Just as much a part of the Marine Corps as any of his Marines were. 👍🏼

  4. Drinking enough beer that you start acting like an asshole while wearing a suit of clothes that represents an entire country, particularly if you're not wearing a suit of clothes that represents the country you're actually in, is a different look than your average drunk. Pretty sure a canadian knows that.

  5. And here you have the amazing United States education system at work, folks. Try Googling "Sea of Azov"

  6. Not even close. USMC use of air and supporting roles goes back to 1912. Well before the existence of Israel.

  7.  @fernandoalegria4240  My father was with the 1/9 while you were there. He was a Marine. But he was very respectful of his Doc's and gave me good reason to be so. Thankfully, my war was not as intense as y'alls, But my Docs did right by my Marines.

  8. All 12 of them? I mean to be honest there are more than that but they do not have enough armatas in production, much less fielded, to make them a war-winning force.

  14.  @Bitfire31337  The US has made clear that it considers Taiwan a military ally that it's willing to defend. And NATO isn't the issue, but the alliance of Korea, Australia & Japan, none of which have any desire to see military resurgent China exist in Asia as the sole military power. And China knows all of this. Nothing the Chinese have done in the last two decades points to them feeling the need to rush the reuniting of Taiwan. Russia's recent self inflicted military humiliation and financial hemorrhage has been the best ammunition in the internal between hawks and wiser heads in China. And Xi hasn't demonstrated any desire to pursue military adventures pointlessly. The present China is significantly more patient than most other nations.

  16. 1. No one is afraid of Russian nuclear weapons that matters. 2. Russia has no desire to be on the receiving end of any of the responses to a dirty bomb attack. 3. Whatever Russia does to Ukraine in regards to a dirty bomb attack, Emilio opens the door for the Ukrainians be provided weapons to visit reprisals upon the Russians directly. 4. Russia absolutely depends on two countries that have loudly stated they would immediately turn their back on them, if they did anything resembling such (China and Turkey.) 5.The two nuclear accidents that most closely resemble a dirty bomb attack at a nuclear site, did not hamstring either country that happened to (Ukraine and Japan.) Whatever dead ender in Russia wants to contemplate a dirty bomb attack, they are effectively welcome to try at the cost of everything that will happen in to find out phase afterward.

  22. Yeah to defend the states right for slavery. You do know why they thought. Whether or not you want to admit it to yourself or publicly is up to the quality of your character. Some of my ancestors fought on the side of the South and they were wrong.

  23.  @shinrapresident7010  And now we know the quality of the character of the descendant they produced. That appears to be on brand for your family. Mine changed. Yours did not.

  24. Significantly less. It's a rocket, without so much of the advanced guidance and material necessary for the missile. Any anti-rocket missile is the equivalent of shooting a Ferrari at a Ford.

  25. Then why did they waste some of their most advanced and elite units trying to capture it, waste enormous numbers of valuable materials in the process of attacking it, and give up so many tanks in the pursuit of capturing it?

  26. Some can be. The problem involved in using them is that they are not discreet, by which I mean, a MICLIC provides me as an engineer a very specific lane through which I can drive vehicles and advance the penetration of the field, but if the Air Force dropped some moabs, while I know that some areas are clear I don't know what their specific dimensions are, where the other mines piled up at, etc. I still have to treat it like a full field. My understanding is that several nations are working on applications of FAE technology for mind clearing. It'll be interesting to see what they come up with.

  27.  @jimbob-robob  You're not resting much. Comparing the average runner versus Usain Bolt isn't even a poor comparison, it's a pointless one. Compared to every country in the world that is not the United States, China has a significant overseas presence. The United States has a global military presence that would have staggered in comparison even the British empire at its height. We are not the most powerful military in the world. We are the most powerful military that has ever existed. And when you include our very close military allies we represent a collection of military power that is truly beyond most people's capacity to imagine. We are not the a comparative metric. We represent the upper limit of possibility. That's not what you compare people against.

  28. There is no capacity to enforce a blockade without your Navy being able to be a credible threat to the United States Navy. And the Chinese Navy is not that threat. That threat does not presently exist. United States Navy enjoys an almost incomprehensible advantage over any opponent Navy.

  29. They've been awfully patient and very accepting of enormous casualties. They must be real sweethearts. Because if they could just crush the Ukrainians, they would have saved a whole lot of Russian lives by now.

  30. It is a horrific fact that whatever that hits a flat top that is capable of sinking it reduce the ship's company that is rescuable to numbers that will fit on whoever can get to them.

  36. Nothing you said is an answer for any of the specific points he stated would make this weapon system a poor choice. To include for holding ground. The weapon in placement is set so high as to beg to be shot at with an anti-armor missile. And it's not necessary that it be so high if it is used to hold the ground.

  37.  @ndolba6210  anti-aircraft weapons are generally poor antipersonal weapons over time, due to the rate of fire. And this weapon is over 40 years obsolete as an effective anti-aircraft weapon. The necessity of depth you would need to entrench this vehicle is unreasonable even for WW1 era trenches. You have never served in a modern military, I have. If you had, regardless of whether you or Western or Eastern or African or from Mars, you would understand that the points being raised against the usefulness of the weapon system are rooted in the best practices of war. Too tall..... Too big of a target for no good reason, and needs to be buried deeper than you would want it to have to be to be able to be appropriately protected or hidden. Anti-aircraft weapons have to fire quite quickly, which means an awful lot of expended rounds. This is useful for targeting a single aircraft but a wasteful and ineffective method of suppressing infantry. And as stated, there isn't a huge amount of ammunition available for the weapon. The Russians have produced reliable weapon systems in the past. This does not appear to be one in any way shape or form. But then some of us have the benefit of experience, and you have the "benefit" of confusing your hurt pride and position on the other side of an ocean from me, as somehow being an argument against physics, or logistics.

  41. Feel free to provide a comparison and contrast list between the number of mistakes he's made versus the volume of times he's right.

  42.  @Rrryuuireerryyu  he does not. And I said what I said. Provide a list of specific examples of specific things he was wrong about, and compare and contrast the number of times he was wrong versus the number of times he was right. No one is 100% infallible except for keyboard warriors. Who also are not, but only think they are. But the man has actually done the damn thing, and is much more often right than wrong.

  43. Found the guy who's bad at math. You are not going to get access to the 29% that are worthwhile without competitively enticing them. No amount of you whining about how other people are outside of standard are going to attract people that are inside standard, when you're offering them shit.

  50. And if China is extremely patient, which they've demonstrated that they have been so far, they're still likely to eventually win that fight, just not militarily.
