That's where you go "As a veteran: You realize we all loving suck, right?" Anyways, Fascism bad, never meet your heroes, veterans rights for all, etc.

CMD598 posted:I don't like assuming we're "just better" because I feel like we're kinda just like rich assholes that can throw money around and pretend our success isn't dependent on a bunch of disgruntled junior enlisted not lighting it on fire at any given moment for some reason...probably healthcare. Its not that clear cut: Western Militaries (at least the United States) train intensively for combat operations and are encouraged to take action as necessary on their own especially the NCO corps. Russia and a lot of other countries effectively train as a show rather than training for combat. This is becoming more and more apparent in that even their most well trained units like the VDV are absolutely struggling in normal combat, paralyzed by inability to make decisions at the NCO level and their inability to take action without being worried about being punished for going against the rigid orders they are given.

bulletsponge13 posted:The Western force design is better for combat, period, for one reason: we cross train, and expect our guys to be able to perform the job responsibilities both one rank higher, and 2 lower. That means when we lose an NCO, the spot is typically filled instantly. A senior NCO can act in lieu of an Officer. A LT can act as a Captain. We instill and train that it should be reflex- we regularly 'kill' leadership in training exercises, sometimes appointing the lowest ranking man to then act as a Platoon commander. Exactly. And it cannot be overemphasized: The US has a strong tradition of NCO leadership and a strong NCO corps. Russia, for example, has little to no NCOs.

ASAPI posted:We also have the magic sword of logistics. Very much this. You can go into any logistics center in the DOD and they'll tell you where it is, what row, what building without almost spooky precision including how to deliver it to you asap. Russia seems to be just piling stuff in trucks and hoping it gets somewhere and not pillages before or after leaving the depot.
