The USs primary advantage was our CRAZY logistics network and skills. Now that that’s gone I wonder how much longer it is still the vultures really start to pounce
First we had American antivaxers bringing back measles, now their military is bringing back scurvy.
Best militairy in the world!
Combined with the most moral army in the work. classic cocktail.
They sold their soul to join a terrorist child killing organization.
It’s more than they deserve.
I hope someone pisses in it regularlySold their soul? Not all of them, I bet. With the US economy being in a recession (if you factor out the AI companies which all they do is move money between each other in a circle). There are constantly layoffs and noone is hiring. I can imagine a bunch of people choosing the military so that they can at least pay their bills / debt from college. Having a job in the military beats being homeless, I guess.
Yes great excuse.
They had a recession in Germany too once.
Hey Heinz, I’ve found a way to not be homeless. All we have to do is help kill millions of innocent people and gas some Jews, communists, etc…
Heil Hitler!ja aber das begeisterte abschlachten sogenannter untermenschen war nicht vom sold motiviert.
It doesn’t make one bit of difference to the victims.
Just as it doesn’t make any difference if brown children are bombed by Trump or cool democratic Obama
If you are amoral
aww the poor sods didn’t have a choice but to join the terrorist organization of the US army.
I get it. People do things they normally never would think about when they get desperate. Maybe they think being on a sub or a mechanic out of combat they won’t have to actively hurt anyone while also providing for a wife and kids. People have a very black and white sense of things on here. Join military = bad no matter what no exceptions.
This was a war of choice. At some point the US needs to lose worse than it lost in Afghanistan to become more cautious of starting unnecessary war in the future. The US public, not just the military, need to remember it and tell their future children about it to avoid a repeat of it. The swift success in abducting the president of Venezuela gave the current US administration a sense of invincibility that they could repeat it in Iran.
“We have the strongest military in the world. You shouldn’t be running out of food,” Dan, a Marine veteran, told the outlet.
It is increasingly evident that this may not be the case. The US lost to Afghanistan, is incapable of concluding the war with Iran on its own terms, and I can’t see the US winning against PRC. What we know for certain is that the US has the most expensive military in the world.
Okay I went to a private school at one point (yes parents were more well off) the kid that had military rations to share had way better food than we were given. Though we were well fed just not by preference. This was on outdoor stuff not in school stuff we had a kitchen and all there though we did the work (good idea really for teaching).
Any military not feeding their people must be led by one of the dumbest motherfuckers in existence…let’s teach people how to be an armed force and not feed them…sounds like a rich idiot or drunk morning show type.
Awwwwwwwww. Good. Go home, G.I.
Did the US military take the food from the ICE Concentration Camps? I wonder how much each one of those shitty meals cost the US taxpayers. $50 bucks a pop?
“More?!? Did Private Twist just ask for more???”
Didn’t Postal Service break up ages ago?
As long as they come home in a body bag, I’m happy.
Just saying, the US Navy used to be able to deliver ice cream to troops fighting in the Pacific, and care packages to jungles in South East Asia. Now sailors go hungry ON the ships, with nothing but uncontested waters between them and the US, and surrounded by allied countries.
I’m genuinely shocked at how weak and incompetent the US Military has looked throughout this entire operation. Iraq and Afghanistan were shit shows, but the US was always able to handle the essentials of logistics and so on. The machine worked, it was just clumsy and hard to steer.
Somewhere in the gap between Afghanistan and Iran, that machine has been left without even basic maintenance.
So from one unjust war that they lost to the other war they lost, they lost another one? Maybe more baby-seeking missiles?
Wait til you hear how they can’t even remove mines even if the Iranians would let them.
Minesweepers got retired before their MCM system works.
That’s the corrupt politics/MIC system.
The politicians keep them in eternal war and make sure they can spend an obscene amount of money on it.
They then spend it on their contractor donors, even if their stuff is useless crap.
Plenty of examples.
And yet we give the military more money than ever.
Pissed of allied countrys.
The most “lethal” fighting force in history folks. No pesky details like rules of engagement or logistics.
Its honestly kind of hilarious to see the military directed by morons who are obsessed with “lethality” and culture war nonsense, meanwhile they lack even a rudimentary understanding of how the military functions.
Anyone who understands how a military works could tell you that logistics is not just half the battle, its basically the entire battle. During WWII, 8/10 servicemen worked in logistics. The Nazis were defeated via logistical advantages. American military dominance was created and sustained through the buildup of interconnected bases which enabled them to quickly and efficiently move people, equipment, and supplies around the world. Without that system working effectively there is no such thing as the “lethality” that these dumbasses goon over. Apparently, they believe it comes from thin air
Lots bases in the middle east are abandoned now with lots of the hosting countries taking over them and all the supplies we left behind. I read an article I think yesterday about syria taking over a bunch of bases. And Iran by itself ruined a bunch of ours across the area recently
So they’re cut off, basically? I feel for the soldiers, but I hope their discontent starts fomenting something
Heres hoping for a good helping of scurvy
Or goals or strategies.
It’s because they didn’t plan for shit, and there’s no supplies because they didn’t expect to be there this long because Trump thought war is easy and quick, because he’s a fucking idiot.
And re-supplying them or rotating them out would be an admission that the war will go on longer and isn’t already over.
So they go hungry.It is over basically, Iran won
I mean the Vietnamese were able to wait out American political will, so Iran will probably manage it, unless the Orange Jackass completely snaps and dies something apocalyptic.
Political will came with the body count.
And I think he is going to try the dumbest thing possible and go all in, Iranians suspect this from what they’re doing now and they’ve been right on everything so far.
His ego can not take defeat.
Good. We should ship the fuck out of the middle east.
Abandon israel entirely and distance ourselves from Saudi Arabia. We can still maintain a close relationship to Jordan and lend international legitimacy to Rojava.
That’s my geopolitical wish list for the US.
I don’t think Rojava state exists anymore, resolution there was merger with Sharaa govt. which finalized recently.
Huh, I didn’t know that. Thank you.
Yeah, even more Turkish govt. are besties with of Öcalan now (Kurdish resistance leader), even Ultranationalist Turkish party called for his unconditional release, so your train of thought sadly ends up at Türkiye being the only sane ally in the region now.
The headchopper barbarian Jolani is a US puppet, and the Kurds are idiots aligning with the US invaders again, as always they are simply used and thrown under the bus after they served their purpose.
