Zeroisanumber posted:I do a lot of volunteer work for a group that tries to get kids in the 3rd world vaccinated against deadly disease. Pakistan's cast-iron determination to see its kids spend their short lives inside of cast-iron lungs is one of the biggest hurdles that we have left to actually eradicating Polio outside of the laboratory. While Pakistan is nowhere near passing the "actually gives a poo poo about its people's basic needs" test, I have to point out that western volunteers vaccinating poors is a cliche CIA plot for a reason (we actually did it). Edit. You can google "CIA vaccination bin laden" for your preferred source http://www.npr.org/blogs/thetwo-way/2014/05/20/314231260/cia-says-it-will-no-longer-use-vaccine-programs-as-cover

Stultus Maximus posted:Except that the amount of explosives required to have any effect would be prohibitive. I mean, it is funny imagining some black guys in berets and leather jackets carting multiple wheelbarrows of fertilizer across the Arch grounds, but it probably was never going to happen. Ehh.....they probably failed out of flight school.

Battleforce Healthcare Futuredynamic XXI I can't wait to see the slide deck and how criminally they under-resource the implementation of whatever. Nothing against Vasudus, it's just that if you replace the words "health care" in his post with anything else by the DoD, well, it starts to feel familiar.

Courthouse posted:I'd say solo policing is dumb beyond measure and all this could easily have been avoided by always being in pairs or more, but someone would just post a video of that fat guy getting strangled on the sidewalk for selling lose cigarettes. Safe to say the proud warrior peoples of Yemen taught him too much about the evils of Obama's drone warfare, and for national security, he had to go.

Courthouse posted:I'd argue there is a distinct difference between shooting a car up because they weren't slowing down when people pointed guns at them, and slowly and methodically torturing someone you know is probably innocent. But in the grand scheme of things, it's about the same as projectile diarrhea-ing the entirety of a gas station bathroom, then getting upset about dropping a wad of used toilet paper on the floor.

Panzeh posted:The Soviet management of the Communist government in Afghanistan was comically inept, bested only by the way we handled the South Vietnamese government. Like us, they decided to just go ahead and coup out a leader they thought ineffective, which just ended up making things worse, the way we did with Diem. An unpopular Soviet-backed government in Kabul tried to consolidate power by executing political prisoners en masse in the late 70s; the 80,000-strong Afghan army began hemorrhaging deserters and the country was about to throw up all over itself when the Soviets arrived. They walked into a loss, especially considering how pissed we were that the US ambassador to Afghanistan had been kidnapped by rebels and killed in an Afghan police / Soviet advisor "rescue attempt" that ended like every hostage situation involving Russians; we were funneling money to the Afghan rebels to help them destabilize the Soviet-backed government (yes, those rebels) which escalated to the missiles and such we're used to hearing about, and so forth. The Soviets tried to prop up a government that wanted to end the "feudalism" of rural Afghanistan; modernize it; secularize it, and so forth. They enforced this position by bulldozing and bombing entire villages. Hearts and minds didn't work so well, either, 30 years later. I sort of wish the Soviets had succeeded, though.

Victor Vermis posted:If you don't see the correlation between urban warfare myths and the academic perception that the modern US military is FAILING to adapt to 4th generation warfare then I don't even know. We just weren't agile enough for these wars. We need US army battalion combat teams. Critical MOS shortages preventing this configuration, otherwise necessary to ensure six months of fighting/sustainability operations on foreign land, will be met by financial incentives, waivers, and lots o' women and gays.
