Lazy Reservist posted:The Russian military is a fascinating study in how superior numbers aren't always the key to victory. My favorite will always be The Winter War. nearly 5 to 1 casualty rate to gain roughly 11% of world renowned military force Finland. Got kicked out of the League of Nations for it.

Got sent something from the Facebook of a Florida National Guard guy. Note that this was one of the "weird kids" in high school who kept trying to do occult rituals and once fantasized that he was an astral werewolf fighting vampires to keep the world from ending in 2012.

Cojawfee posted:He doesn't know how electromagnetic interference works. Pretty much that. Know how you move around a TV or radio and get static? He saw that on a piece of test equipment and called it ghosts. It'd be like seeing someone write a Facebook post about how their compass was detecting water in the ground because it was being tilted. I remember hearing someone say something like that during a landnav course.

chitoryu12 posted:Got sent something from the Facebook of a Florida National Guard guy. Did he buy wishes and hire people to turn him into a werewolf for one night off of ebay? People actually buy these things and a few years back they started to regulate it by making the seller sell a physical object with it, like an enchanted ring of 3 wishes, instead of "I'll cast the spell once payment is received". But seriously, people buy this stuff. Just look at the completed auctions that sold.

Bolow posted:It blew my loving mind when I found out that Austria-Hungary suffered 90% casualties in WW1. Ninety loving Percent of everyone in that military was either killed or wounded. Holy gently caress, thats insane. 9 out of 10 guys in their army would be dead or wounded, thats depressing. But then again, it doesnt suprise me. The Austro-Hungarian army was a mishmash of various ethnic groups and languages and led by a senile, geriatric leadership. Hm, thinking about it, I bet over half the "casualties" in that statistic is hungarian and slavic soldiers desertions wich happened all the time, especially on the eastern front where they would just pick up their stuff, climb out of their trench and join the Russians as soon as there was a lull in the fighting.

Austrians in a nutshell: Commanders chosen due to influence at court who were COMPLETELY inept Using hilariously outdated weaponry (Brass cannon from 1890, no grenades) Horrendous supply issues ethnically fragmented army Fighting the loving Serbians, who; Had modern, but limited weaponry Had actual experience fighting wars (because slavs were always fighting each other amirite) Had good commanders using tactics unknown to the Austrians such as the "Fighting retreat" or "entrenched positions" Very good gunners who surveyed their impact zones which the Austrians quite politely tromped right through. As the Austrians lost again and again to the Serbs people started to see through it when the newspapers would say "WE WON A FANTASTIC VICTORY AGAINST THOSE FANATICAL SERB DEVILS and now we're retreating back into croatia everything is fine"

Ronwayne posted:Wasn't the Italian-Austrian front even more horrific because both sides were that dumb? Copy the Austrian section twice and set it in the alps. Repeat every two and a half months or so in the same goddamn mountain range for over two years. They finally came up with a new name for the twelfth battle of the Isonzo. To cross the river they needed to deal with the guys in the mountains and to deal with the guys in the mountains they needed to cross the river. This is why Italy won the war so badly they fell into fascism.
