I wasn’t aware wars were fought by large adult sons doing Greco-Roman wrestling
That’s what they took from you.
I unironically think that’s what’s behind Hegseth’s obsession with the BMI of the average soldier. While he and his ilk wouldn’t give up the modern military tech, they think it’s less important than how much the typical grunt can dead lift. It’s like Vader calling the Death Star insignificant next to the Force, except instead of a universal metaphysical power it’s the kind of shit that impresses meatheads at the gym.
That and his closeted attraction to them.
All that bulge…
Imagine living in 2026 and thinking that a peer conflict will involve fighting close enough to see the other guys.
there have been trench raids in ukraine. that’s maybe not strictly peer but it’s closer than any conflict the US has been involved in a long time
It’s a war between bordering countries, makes a bit of a difference
Those trench raids were much more common early on in the conflict before the full drone apocalypse set in. I have to imagine it’s at least 100-1000x more common that a drone drops a grenade on a trench than it is for the two sides to be close enough to reach out and touch each other.
And if we’re talking about China I think it’s safe to assume that their drone force would dwarf anything we’ve seen in Russia/Ukraine.
if i had to guess, if the US doesn’t just fully abandon taiwan after demolitioning the chip fabs, and chinese leadership is replaced by aliens trying to destabilize earth instead of waiting out the situation, then there’ll be tunnels and shit where flying drones can’t really get to and those dog shitters or rc cars will be way more vulnerable to small arms/ within shotgun range.
It’s people who don’t understand that starship troopers is satire
at that the knife throwing scene.
off topic but i’m hyped to see a fat bear enjoyer! i do enjoy backpack but personally i’ll be rooting for 164 bucky dent, his transformation this year has been fucking wiiiiild. 128 grazer too. because i love her
you just made an enemy for life
aww, I can’t stay mad at you
Russians when the snow speaks Finnish
Americans when the bushes speak Vitenamese
Americans when they hear lawnmowers and see jellyfish
we literaly live in the era of drones and gunpowder and chuds still think war is decided by physical strength (it hasnt since the invention of the crossbow)
ACTUALLY crossbows were tied to strength because your fire rate was tied to how many times you could load it in a multiple hours battle (precision was barely a factor they just shot as many as possible in the right direction)
And who invented the fastest, shootiest crossbow of all? That’s right. The Chinese.

:themysicra-shining: actually war is predominantly determined by logistics which is why women (who consume fewer calories per spear) make superior soldiers for state conflicts.
thanks nerd
not to mention the chuds ideal aryan superman is probably not doing hand to hand combat either lmao
Yeah he’s too busy with important things, like injecting discount steroids and smoking cracké (french canadian variant).
It hasn’t since well before that. Strategy>having a bunch of really strong guys every time historically.
I don’t think that’s entirely correct, you can’t win a war without having a bunch of fit people who can actually carry guns and walk around the territories you need to occupy. But in this case China has more than enough people with guns so it’s indeed down to strategy (and we can see how the US strategy works in Iran…)
Depends on the objective of the war, occupying territory isnt always the goal, though it tends to be required to some extent usually. And while I will concede that having an army that is physically fit to be an army, I figured that was an assumed baseline. Like, of course well placed toddlers with perfect logistics in place would still lose to a real army. But running a smart war is always more important than greater overall force unless you get to a really extreme difference in force, like ine side having guns and the other side not etc
Guessing most in the military are doing their killing remotely in air-conditioned offices
I suppose overall fitness (not necessarily raw strength) has always been important. You can’t march for days with gear if you can’t run 10m without getting winded.
But you’re right in the sense that bombs and guns equalize that somewhat, drones even more so because you have have your less fit soldiers just pilot them.

According to the slop machine:
The average height for 19-year-old young adults is approximately 175.7 cm (5 ft 9 in) for men and 163.5 cm (5 ft 4 in) for women in China, compared to about 177 cm (5 ft 9.5 in) for men and 163–164 cm for women in the United States.
So yeah, it’s exclusively racist prejudice based on historically colonialism-driven wealth differences.
Height is also related to nutrition so as soon as China escaped poverty the average height started to go up. This isn’t even new info lol. So the US will probably see a decline
American heights have been declining since the 1980s

Damn that was fast
Insert 1983 CIA report about how Soviet Citizens have a more nutritious diet than Americans here.
There have been two instances in history where Chinese and American infantry fought one another directly and both times the Chinese soldiers won. Both instances were during the Korean war.
I learned a lot about this by watching the documentary The Battle at Lake Changjin (2021)
you can’t have any china until you finish your iran
As an Iranian, I would like to see them try with China and then back off.
It would relieve a considerable amount of economic, military, and political pressure for Iran.
It seems like all of America wants China to invade. Some yearn for freedom, others just wanna be tuff. I would love to see America have to fight a defensive war on their own soil for the first time ever. They would be taken out like field mice under a roto tiller. The most childish undisciplined spoiled brats who have it so deeply ingrained that being contrarian is the ultimate expression of personal freedom vs yknow, an army
3 days without power or water and these “rugged individualist freedom fighters” would be tearing each other apart.
Fucking Twilight Zone called it in 1959 with The Monsters are Due on Maple Street. No one is more suspicious and hateful of their neighbors than suburban Americans. People who fantasize about violence always fantasize themselves winning easily.
The US got hosed pretty badly in the war of 1812. If there wasn’t a diplomatic resolution to the war, it’s likely that the US would’ve ended up as a British colony again.
Im Canadian and the dude who set fire to the Whitehouse is buried not too far from me. I should have remembered that
People have been leaving lighters by his grave lately. This song slaps and ive got a friend who’s gonna love it
I found a YouTube link in your comment. Here are links to the same video on alternative frontends that protect your privacy:
Its the same fantasy as zombie apocalypse. A way to show their masculinity by doing violence.
tbf I think some people are attracted to zombie apocalypse settings because most of these stories depict small communities providing for each other and having their basic needs met just by participating in survival labor
Similarily they think the zombies are strong enough to cause an apocalypse while weak enough him and his neighbor could totally thrive in said apocalypse
BTFO of Vietnam, Iraq, Afghanistan and now Iran, but sure, America is very powerful.
The chuds posting this shit will also repost every “Samuel Colt made men equal with guns” meme without a moment’s introspection

I don’t think people from Utah are built like that correct me if I’m erong
correct me if I’m erong
Okay: *wrong
Thanks bro
I’ve never met a mormon who wasnt a twig boy (no offense to twig boys)
Are they corn-fed out there? Need to go to Iowa at least to get people built like that.
I know a Utahn engineering researcher who is 6’6” and built like a tank because he’s obsessed with fitness. Obviously biceps the nearly the size of milk gallons arent the norm, but there are definitely quite a few people over 6’ and physically fit in Utah, even in academia where you’d expect fitness/lifting isn’t a top priority
I guarantee there’s shitloads of big Dongbei farmboys who can outwrestle Cletus from utah or whatever

the most important thing he learned from the seals was how to write a mid-budget action movie and pass it off as real
