ought ten posted:Sorry but I can't abide all this anti-American blueberry hate. We have a whole state here called Maine that grows and harvests actual blueberries ("wild blueberries" in supermarket parlance). We know what blueberries are. Maybe folks in other states are being tricked by the white inside blueberries but we know what's going on. Why must they insist on calling those white-fleshed abominations blueberries?! They must be renamed i say! I shall, however, take your words into consideration for the future. Thank you.

The people on the left who have more rusted out T-72's in their brain than the east of Ukraine, and the far right chudsters who don't think the US government can do more than one thing at once. Happens that Ron's strat to beat Trump was to try to out MAGA the MAGA king. I keeping thinking about it since that video, it's all Lyndon LaRouche all the way down.

Wait, did he go from enlistment to being killed in a combat zone within 10 weeks? Are the Russians just doing the absolute bare minimum of training at this point? Basic training in the US army alone lasts 10 weeks, and then you go on to whatever your specialization is. Even in world war 2, marines received 8 weeks of basic + 8 weeks of field training.

Uh... how do I put this? Remember all those videos about mobiks whining that they're being sent to their deaths on purpose? One of the common threads in their complaints is that their "training" lasts anywhere between 1 week - 10 days to at most a month, with very limited time and ammo on the range, and most of the time they aren't actually "trained" but either goof around or do manual labor at the training camps. And this is if they're lucky.

There's absolutely evidence some Russian recruits are being rushed to the front. Heck during the mobilization some men appeared to be sent directly to the front only a few days after being called up. But I do recall claims that Russia does non-officer training fundamentally differently from Western armies, with it being much less centralized and a lot of the training taking part 'in the field/on the job' in the unit itself.

I am forever confused by which of our two Finnish blueberries are blueberries and which are bilberries, but neither of them are green on the inside. The hell are you people doing over there?

They are a shade of blue on the outside, and the color on the inside can be anything from purpleish to white to green to teal and more depending on the cultivar. It's like how there isn't just one type of corn, there are many types. But they're still generally recognizable as a type of corn because of the shared features.

Basic training in the US army alone lasts 10 weeks, and then you go on to whatever your specialization is. Even in world war 2, marines received 8 weeks of basic + 8 weeks of field training. Yeah, and it's shocking. I mean, the whole point of everything you learn during your military training is to keep you alive for a few weeks on a battlefield, so you can start learning more stuff on top of that. That, and of course to train you on whatever weapon system you're going to be using. Learning how to operate an artillery piece and how to conduct coordinated fire missions and actually hit your targets isn't easy, for instance. Even if you're just a ground pounder and not someone who needs to use a more specialized weapon, there's still tons of very basic stuff you need to learn and more importantly practise over and over if you're going to A) not immediately get killed hopefully and B) be useful to your unit. And they're just rushing people from recruitment to tin caskets in a couple of weeks. It's extremely obvious that the "training" they're giving their mobiks is only the very barebones "this is your gun, here's how you reload it, now let's shoot a couple of times" poo poo and expecting that the units teach them everything at the front, but that's an awful idea for many reasons, and made even more awful by the fact that at this point the guys at the front were trained equally badly. But I guess that's fine if you're just doing human wave tactics and don't give a poo poo about your soldiers.

It's not like insufficient training isn't a massive problem for Ukrainian troops.quote:In July 2022, the United Kingdom, alongside other Ukrainian partners, established Operation Interflex to train Ukrainian troops. At the time, Ukraine desperately needed more units to hold defensive positions, so Interflex set the training program at five weeks, prioritizing skills vital to defensive operations. That five-week regimen still exists, but the mission has fundamentally changed. https://www.foreignaffairs.com/ukraine/war-ukraine-not-stalemate
