They have more enlisted military personnel

Quality over Quantity

But then again numbers don’t matter

We have The SEALs

In Iraq war it took 3 fighter jets to take down one of ours

Rangers

Marine Raiders

I believe it was Iraq war no?

I think so

We put more money into training our personnel then China does

Chinas just like

get drafted npooob

True

China says you male get in army

Well they got fucked in ladakh

You female you gonna be med

Not familiar with that one

The issue with China tho is that in a ground war, they can easily over power a fairly advanced country (like say Japan), just like how Russia curb stomped Germany pretty much with inferior equipment and training but vastly more numbers

Granted China will only be able to set foot on Japan if the US navy isnt a threat

And they's be able to hold the island nation for a fairly long period of time till the US rolls up

Younger me in a USMC V-22 Osprey with a VMM-262 pilot

Picture taken in 2014

Nice

I also was in the USMC KC-130J cockpit

Once upon a long as fuck time ago, smol me got to go to an airshow and they had several old planes, including a few soviet aircraft, and i got to mess around with an actual AK47 although the barrel was filled with those plastic tube things

i got to sit in a P-51 Cockpit

Noice

That airshow basically made me into a huge military fan

I also went onboard the USS Freedom LCS in the Singapore Navy Open House 2013

ooh

Met navy bois

The only warship I've ever been on is the USS Midway in San Diego

Lucky

> They have missiles that would take us 10 years to make
@rick harrison
Russia is making cheaper and smaller ships that pack a lot of firepower

E.g. buyan m class corvette

I went on the USS lexington down in corpus about a year or 2 ago, was a very good trip

Yeah I know @Tsar Vladimir Putin we’re still making fucking abrahms tanks

Weigh too much and cost too much and making all of our military budget go towards them.

Cand even put the tank on plane or a ship too much weight

Well the Abrams is still a very good tank, its only real issue is its weight, and you can still put an Abrams on a ship, however not a whole lot of them and you certainly wont be putting them on the Zubar armored vehicle landing craft
