Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By Featureless: "Terror" directed at the Russian people has little value. They can't change their government all that readily or quickly. Offensive war directed at infrastructure, roads, railroads, bridges, airspace, that slows the flow of supplies to the front and soaks up resources in repairing and guarding that infrastructure is of value and could be exploited. They (the exploited lower classes and regions) already know their sons aren't coming home from their two week Boy Scout Camp killing Nazis. If the people of Saint Petersburg and Moscow were losing lights, had to recycle their toilet paper, miss the museums and operas, and began losing sons, then, things would change. Your average Russian soldier is binary. He is generally useless and throughout much of Russian history has been an incompetent nicompoop that will surrender in large numbers He is usually poorly educated, led, equipped, Id say trained but mostly untrained, and uninformed. In fact, in Tannenburg, WWI, Finland, all of 1941, Afghanistan, he mostly sucks. The radiation that turns him into the incredible hulk is when he thinks he is defending the Motherland. Be it back to the wall at Moscow in 1812 or 1941 or Stalingrad. Then he gets supermotivated and scornfully bitterly self-sacrificial. Strictly for tactical reasons, outside of some very specific targeting like the oil refineries right over the border, targeting Russia proper, especially teh civilians that represent the Motherland, is a bad idea. The irony of course in all this is that the Russians are denying the Ukrainian culture, which makes them Russians, but the Russian goals, and tactics are creating a defensive force of Russo-Ukrainians with incredible courage. It is like the Russians chose to play the role of the Germans in Stalingrad, writ large, and the Russians have turned Ukrainians into the defenders of Pavlov's house, writ large. |

Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By CarmelBytheSea: Shit even skipping over bread and butter SOF wheelhouse, a 13F or 11B/C 12 series 12B/21B and 19D would be pretty helpful to the Ukrainians over Nance going by his photo, as others have also noted. I think Florida Army National Guard was just there training, advising 2 months ago. I was attached to 2/124th inf right before my last separation {again from service} from my experience our NCOs are a very big difference in capability - talent compared to not all but many other nations forces. But I have zero time/experience in Ukraine. 2/124th did CJTF-HOA when I was attached.I’ve gotten older out of shape and not up to date on anything FO related, I have the desire to go but I would absolutely add no value. If I were single without kids I’d still give it a go. |
