all the officers I met were dog shit at the unit level

2017-05-02 05:43:50 UTC  

I honestly think that our grunts would get their asses kicked in a fair fight w terry

2017-05-02 05:44:08 UTC  

The Kurds are using german guns to get access to germany and sweden

2017-05-02 05:44:08 UTC  

Small arms against small arms. No cas or arty

2017-05-02 05:44:11 UTC  

Only because they underestimated them

2017-05-02 05:44:45 UTC  

depends on which strain @RedRightHand

2017-05-02 05:44:54 UTC  

the foreigners are fairly dangerous also

2017-05-02 05:45:10 UTC  

they can rock NVGs, kit and shoot and move in small teams and will actually close distance with you

2017-05-02 05:45:31 UTC  

depends on who is around at a given time in a specific region they are a very varied enemy in honesty

2017-05-02 05:45:33 UTC  

I've met some shit hot grunt squad leaders. Better than 90% of the officers I've encountered. But average across the army and marines? I think that terry would win

2017-05-02 05:46:04 UTC  

brb

2017-05-02 05:46:18 UTC  

Havent fought taliban personally just studied the fuck out them but my chance may be coming with the shift in that area etc

2017-05-02 05:46:24 UTC  

biggest heroin area fell to tali

2017-05-02 05:46:35 UTC  

and that was 82nd/CAG land and was a nasty place to fight so

2017-05-02 05:46:51 UTC  

if we fill in there and augment, I see some very big reality checks in the future

2017-05-02 05:47:06 UTC  

Make your men shoot and move. Close w and destroy the enemy. I've seen some embarrassing footage coming out of that country

2017-05-02 05:47:28 UTC  

yeah I am not being stationary being a medium task org we are all about tempo and speed

2017-05-02 05:47:40 UTC  

👍🏻

2017-05-02 05:47:44 UTC  

I lose manaeuver im fugggeddd

2017-05-02 05:48:04 UTC  

Is tempo and stuff something that's taught officially or something the "commander" instills?

2017-05-02 05:48:08 UTC  

I have us drop ramp on contact and gtfo

2017-05-02 05:48:12 UTC  

tempo is talked about

2017-05-02 05:48:16 UTC  

some preach it few practice it

2017-05-02 05:48:26 UTC  

Ever hear of the blitzkrieg?

2017-05-02 05:48:26 UTC  

My cousin's husband almost died fighting the Taliban

2017-05-02 05:48:29 UTC  

watch units just get shit canned at NTC/JRTC by trying to fight off their vehicles

2017-05-02 05:48:56 UTC  

they will crack the trucks open on you, there is so many ATGMs in that fight I want to be the fuck away from vehicles as possible

2017-05-02 05:49:20 UTC  

they are tow/javelin magnets in those settings

2017-05-02 05:49:35 UTC  

It's kinda like watching Tom Brady run a 2 minute drill. Dictating the tempo of the battlefield forces your enemy to react to your movements

2017-05-02 05:49:44 UTC  

3ID was just having entire plts get catastrophic kills

2017-05-02 05:49:50 UTC  

yup

2017-05-02 05:50:23 UTC  

Why isn't tempo a mandatory thing then?

2017-05-02 05:50:34 UTC  

because it is up to unit leader judgement

2017-05-02 05:50:35 UTC  

I know nothing about military shit

2017-05-02 05:50:36 UTC  

if they don't see it

2017-05-02 05:50:41 UTC  

or are inclined to it

2017-05-02 05:50:55 UTC  

Shouldn't they he taught that tho?

2017-05-02 05:51:14 UTC  

they wont give the order

2017-05-02 05:51:14 UTC  

it takes practice

2017-05-02 05:51:14 UTC  

it is
