  1. I used to be a Lieutenant in the US Army and I very much consciously valued humor as a stress relief strategy. In a forward deployed combat unit, we did not have alcohol or women or the ability to hop in our car at the end of the day and take off or other basic stress relief strategies in the civilian world. Our basic vices to relieve stress in no real order were cigars, bitching and humor and possibly eating. Of those humor is the heathiest and actively improves the morale of the people around you. The basic phrase that summed it up was Embrace the Suck or if you want to go the philosophy route, Viktor Frankel said that the last thing we have control over is to decide how we will react to any given situation. It was also made clear to us that we were expected to screw things up but that we needed to focus on learning from our mistakes and not making the same mistake multiple times and that generally it is better to take action and be partially wrong than hesitate and do nothing.

  5. Try reading the original post in this thread. In Desert Storm we had thermal sights and could see and hit Iraqi tanks before they could see us. We also had early version of GPS and could navigate in the Iraqi desert far better than the Iraqis could. As for the current loses in Ukraine most Western vehicles that have been lost have been lost to landmines and arty not tank on tank. Better training and combined arms strategy can make a difference there​ @alexnderrrthewoke4479
