I don't think our military is number one in the world. I think they're very good and very well-trained, but I think if we ended up in a war with China for example, there is a very real possibility of them cleaning our clocks. It's good to have pride in your armed forces, but as the Bible says "pride is before a crash." We've had our victories and our humiliations. It's important to avoid not just underestimating the enemy, but overestimating our ability as well.
I see our armed forces as beeing tooled and trained (for the most part) to fight regimented enemies, the formal armies of other nations. We won the American Revolution against a military power with far greater training, tactics, and overall fire power using guerilla tactics. There is hardly any defense against a roadside bomb or people shooting at you from deep cover. Going up against that is why it takes a hell of a lot of guts to be a soldier.
Like I said, be proud of your soldiers, just don't delude yourself into thinking they're invincible.
You're a effing moron.
I'll concede that China might have a formidable ground Army, but a war with them would likely be mostly won in the air, where we have the superiority.
This is the part that pisses me off, when you said that there's no defense for roadside bombs, or counter-insurgent tactics. Who the eff do you think you are? You are a complete effing moron. the defense against roadside bombs is better armor as well as other tools implemented that I cant really discuss, becuase I'm not sure if it's a violation of opsec or not. Also, what do you think we've been doing all this time, sitting there with our thumbs up our asses waiting for terrorists to attack us. No, there has been extensive counter-insurgency training that I've personally taken part of and I can tell you we are much more prepared to fight a guerilla style war than you think.
Why must you make it a habit to talk out of your ass all the time? If you're going to make stupid claims, trying finding a little research to back up your bullshit....oh, right....you can't.
You dont know shit about the military or its tactics, stop trying to talk like you do or I will continue to rip you a new a-hole on a daily basis.
