Yeah I think using conscripts who didn't want to be there, that were being raped and beaten by anyone who outranked them, and that were selling their ammo for money to buy booze and food....wasn't winning any battles.

Imagine being in the USSR and going to a shithole and being upset the people in the shithole have more luxury than you did at home. That is the average Russian soldier seeing a farmer who owns a TV or a Radio.

but enough about US invasion

it's not purely about ability, it's about cost to benefit, at least when it comes to afghanistan. both superpowers at their time could not really justify staying there with this level of attrition and no benefit.
Iran on the other hand, is something that would have value to do this, but it's simply outside of ability of any country. No one can afford to garrison it all, most especially not US with their absolutely abysmally high deployment costs and they can't really get the populace on their side to do it themselves, especially now that they bombed them. Trump literally led himself into a dead end. Don't wanna be that guy, but it's almost like Hitler logic of "this fast sneaky play worked once, it can work again", except it obviously isnt going to this time

The average British cooking is just buying pre-made food and doing minimal cooking, cooking from ingredients here is rare now. A big part of the issue is people aren't taught properly how to cook in school and their parents don't know either.

It's not even the whole boiled carrots with boiled peas with boiled meat thing anymore, people are too lazy even to do that. Regardless, this all pre-dates rationing, it's mostly the fault of canning/tinning starting back in the Victorian period.

Nandos, Tescos meal deals, microwave ready meals and jars of pre-made pasta sauce are more relevant to current "British" food culture than what you're thinking of.

tl;dr yes but no it's actually worse, because nobody is willing to do anything new (coz stagnant culture).

>>65053952
Maybe getting too offtopic but:
Broadly I agree but Sinn Fein and Plaid Cymru aren't nationalist parties in the true sense, they're anti-imperialist parties (or perhaps "anti-colonial"). They care more about the separation of powers than the cultural part, it's about it being *their choice* to do it. Think of it like this:
>1000 English moving to Wales under UK gov = colonisers taking homes from Welsh people
>1000 third worlders moving to Wales under Welsh gov = fellow oppressed victims diversifying our culture and economically contributing to our nation

Partly they believe this because they think they're sticking it to the English when they do it (in their mind every English person is a caricature of a Reform supporter). Fundamentally all people attracted to politics are retarded and not deserving of power, the easier a level of political status is to acquire the more retarded it gets because the barrier of entry is lower. Plaid Cymrus barrier of entry (like the Greens, Reform etc) is far lower than traditional parties by nature of how small they are and how even more so than traditional parties they gain votes by brand image more than individual competence.

Blade bayonets are badass and there's no good reason why we shouldn't have them.
>>
My ideal bayonet would be something like a Spanish Bolo/1941 type of recurve bowie, close to as centered a point as possible. A bit larger and longer than theirs, almost approaching a Microtech arbiter as far as where the point is and OAL. Cant be that thick on the backside or it'd be in the line of fire. Maybe a skinnier forte. But the goal is a big almost boar spear end of the blade for stabbing/slashing but also to make it a very effective foraging and camp knife with a big broad blade capable of doing lots of other stuff as well.
>>
>>65052488
It is also possibly the worst bayonet ever made.

>>65052595
Most sawback bayonets don't have an edge on both sides of the blade, I'd guess because the teeth become too weak/bend.

You are right, but my post is more vibes based because we are talking about culture and these countries martial gestalts and not specifically their physical organization and structure.
The East didn't suffer from the same kind of post war neuroticism as the West and freely continued their Prussian norms and traditions with a slather of pinko paint over them, which is markedly different than trying to expunge every icky martial tradition from your military culture. The GDR was one of the more competent Warsaw pact forces for this reason if nothing else as these traditions and espirit de corps generally take centuries to nuture. Obviously the West German military was capable, but the legacy of the schizophrenic psychology required for propping up a large expendable blocking force while also profusely apologizing for it hasn't done the modern German military any favors.

>the legacy of the schizophrenic psychology required for propping up a large expendable blocking force while also profusely apologizing for it hasn't done the modern German military any favors
NAYRT but the rot in Germany is traced to just 3 major factors; 1stly, the mid 90s when Germans insisted on the peace dividend on the back of end of history memes and are still yet to climb out of it (no major increases in Bundeswehr headcount and combat formations in 4 years of war); 2ndly the refusal to tech up post-Great Financial Crisis of 2007/8 to remain competitive against the rest of the world; and 3rdly the mid 2010s decision to import browns because "wir schaffen das", on the wrong assumption that they would surely adopt European culture instead of the reverse, importing theirs and forcing everyone else to conform to theirs

everything else has been a downstream attempt to cope with all that
>>
>>65054191
You are also right but I still insist there is a much deeper cultural trauma inflicted on west Germans in particular and all Germans by proxy that is in no small way responsible for the sorry state of their military culture and bearing.
>>
>>65054203
no man, you have to come to terms with the fact that the Germans today are not the same Germans who manned CENTAG, just like the Brits today are not the same Brits who manned BAOR and fought the Falklands War; that generation had no generational trauma, but it is gone

the current generation is entirely motivated by a completely different worldview that barely understands these things

Your article is about basic and applied research, which is stuff like university grants. His comment is about product development and engineering, which is paying MIC contractors to get the projects they're working on to a state where they're ready to be used.

So it's not really a matter of cutting our future tech in order to buy current stuff, it's a matter of potentially cutting far future tech in order to get near future tech ready faster.

Ok, now start doing the math on how many degrees you can track with what kind of reliability, and therefore how many units you need. Where you need to install them to avoid gaps in coverage.
Then figure out how you're going to hide them, because jets are fast and move around a lot. Your AA system is largely static by comparison and trivial to keep tabs on using various forms of ISR.
When they start launching stand off munitions (which outrange you) overhead, do you reveal yourself to shoot them down?

You will quickly find that the economics of making this happen are extremely unfavorable and you should have just built a good airforce.
