Sarcasm didn’t translate I guess.
You can tell this is still policy because we have troops in the Ukraine and Iran now.

Our doctrine is decentralized and dynamic with commanders knowing the overall battle plan not just a slice of the pie, also having the ability to adapt in the fly.


My dad wrote signal doctrine the last 3 years he was in at Ft Gordon and it was fascinating talking to him about fixing “message is for so-so. So-so is dead, who get the message”. Before the message was bounced back for authorization to deliver to the next so-so. Creating a logic tree solved it.

And it is amazing seeing foreign militaries that don’t have NCOs, or atleast effective NCOs. Most officers promote favorites to Sargent ranks and lack any kind of independent leadership outside political officers. The idea that they share a battle plan or assign an objective and expect the men below General to plan and execute anything is considered alien.
I read the opening and stopped, Trump is an actual left leaning moderate. Somewhere you lost your bearings on the political spectrum and it skewed your self evaluation.
Would you stick your hand in a wood chipper? I mean you have another hand and turn if off, so what if you lost one.

Remember when the world thought Iraq would really test the US military because they had a huge military with a modern Air Force and tons of tanks? They had a veteran army that had spent years fighting Iran and were prepared for the US?

Their tanks were a liability, the veterans couldn’t adjust tactics to anything other quasi trench warfare. Their modern AirForce didn’t last a week and military never had a chance.

I see Iran in the same light. Just not ready for modern warfare.

Israeli intelligence did the leg work and updated the framework for decades. When the decision was made it was simply following the plan. Iran on the other hand had no plan, just mindless violence. Israeli allies ensured Irans “allies” stayed out of it. Iran has no chance and should be looking at a Valhalla Commando scenario (burning heaven to keep the devil out /point of view thing) and poisoning the earth. Unleash everything at themselves and their neighbors and make the Israeli victory seem tainted, hollow.
The political spectrum is to skewed now. What the left sees as the middle was the fringe left we grew up with. What the rights sees as the middle the left see as literally Hitler.

They will magically become anti war rallies for a war we are not fighting.

The maryville TN protest had around 50 senior citizens show up. I wasn’t impressed.
