Solution
I trust Iran.

I don't believe states are fanatical enough to risk obliteration to aim a nuclear weapon at the West.

Sucide terrorism in terms of indivdual acts might seem insane, but overall it serves clear strategic aims, with the logic being that you sacrifice a person and some capital for an exponentially greater impact on the enemy state. The loss to the terrorist group is minimal and the loss of life and economic impact to the enemy country is immense.

For suicide terrorism to work, there has to been a large supply of support from the native populace. This is the strategic part. There needs to be enough greviance against a certain enemy state before a terrorist group will gain enough support and resources to strike against the...
I rate the English and Australian infantry far higher than the US - only because their training is better (time / structure). Sadly both of these forces are small, poorly funded in the case of Australia. We have the poms to thank for setting up a good defense force ... their CSM's are trully mean bastards ... and I mean that as a compliment.

Having spent some time with them back in the 80's and hearing the experiences of my two uncles in Nam, I don't rate their regular ground forces very highly.

Morale is poor without all of the trappings of home and they have undisciplined response to small arms fire, have poor training, and are only trully a force to be reconned with when their superior technology is deployed, and superior numbers.
Plus their air support is just humiliating to be on the wrong side of!! :)

I rate the marines about the same as the regular army as their training is comparable but conditions of employment are tougher. Many think the US army is better than the marines because their conditions of employment are better but I argue the opposite - tough love breeds a tougher soldier.

The US special forces are on par with the best in the world - plus they haz more tech and cool gadgets.



 


You arent the only ones underfunded mate, I lost all my kit in a condet that went wrong. Lost my entire military kit issue as it was in my landrover that exploded, I can't get re-issued my basic military kit eg. bergan, webbing because of a sheer lack of it in the stores. Pretty disgusting really! Means I have to fork out from my own pocket as usual, my GTX 780 will take a bit longer to purchase than planned.
 


True but I have been very excited to get it :) Im sure if I don't go out for one weekend and drink myself to sleep the money saved will tip the scales!

 


Thats just crazy ... Hope it works out ok.

Give the QMS a carton of p!ss and he will hook you up with something ... beer buys anything.

:)

 


We don't surrender anymore since we don't even fight anymore !!
When i say "enough guns to invade Paris", i mean "2".
But be careful with our ghettos.
They retrieved the weapons of war in Yugoslavia.




hmm... if you mix butter and foie gras in front of a French, you'll get a$$-kicked until death. ^^
 


It may come as a bit of a shock, but US soldiers get screwed over as well. I switched units 8 months ago and I have yet to receive a helmet.
 


I'm not sure that magic is needed for officers, they tend to do a pretty good job of getting themselves in trouble as it is.
 


Ooh right, it appears you're a model of tolerance and respect.
 
Read what i wrote and try again.
I talk about people. You talk about "empire" (as you did in your last message... and the message before your last message... several times)
I don't care about any "empire", but i respect people who live in this empire.

And i don't need any help. (d'ailleurs, je t'emmerde)
I don't need advice from a unrespectful intolerant person.


Who decide who can be respected and who can't ? you think you can ?
 


No, i totally disagree.
Or maybe it means you don't respect any unknown person you meet.

I don't know you, but i still have respect for you.
Maybe if you act like a turd, i won't respect you anymore, but first : mutual respect.

in this case, you cannot condemn a whole country because of hundreds of people.
Condemning USA because of government policy is kind of stupid.
Same for Iran.
There are dumba$$ in both country, and "choosing" one of them is just... irrelevant.
