What's the worst military you worked with?

Poland in Afghanistan. They were fucking retarded. I don't count the ANA because you can hardly call them a military.

Canada.

MONUSCO FIB 2013-14. The Canadian army wasn't there but they had a leadership cadre attached at the brigade level who were absolutely clueless. They thought mortars were obsolete and were only useful in defense if at all. We had completed planning to use rotary to drop an oversized platoon + MRAP's behind the M23 and they thought it was the most retarded thing ever and fought tooth and nail against it. Suffice as to say, they were proven to be wrong, repeatedly. Mortars proved themselves to be decisive in providing suppression from maneuver elements and the air assault + follow-up OP's threw the M23 into total disarray. Total morons.

Also, big Indian contingent there. They didn't like fighting but were phenomenal in a supporting role. If you asked them to get 3t of 81mm rounds up a track that is otherwise impassable for vehicles, they would make it happen.

Canada - canadians working themselves into a shoot because some bureaucrat back in leafland was demanding communications from their chain of command constantly. Leaf officer was constantly on the phone or email and they just stood around for hours and never got to train until a day later.

Mexican army - felt like i was back in arizona with stinky dumb mexicans waiting at a home depot for work

norway -


best military was the UK marine boys. Drank with them on the base after. those crazy lady boy fuckers had some crazy ass thailand holiday stories and they were not aware what a french dip was at the bar menu and the all ordered it.

Norway - HK pistol wearing commando dudes in civis and plate carriers. they ate 3 brown bag meals each in the kuwait military terminal and made some black airguard aunt jemima seethe because they left a huge mess and she had pvts to clean it up for her so she did it.

Americans were cool. Their combat arms guys are dope but their supporters are legitimately fucking retarded
>hurr I can't drive that. I'm not trained
Get in the fucking truck shinji. You can drive an Abrams, don't tell me you can't drive a 3 ton truck 50 feet
Australians are alright but I can't understand their slang.
Germans don't talk
British are cool. Officers are kinda dickish though.
As a leaf, the absolute worst people I've worked with are reservists from Quebexico though. Absolutely entitled cunts with zero understanding of rank structure while playing the language card.
>Je ne parle pas anglais
listen dickhead I just watched you have a 20 minute conversation about the habs in English and you're an English speaking exercise. Do what you're told.

I agree with everyone saying Canadians suck though. Our combat guys are decent but our supporters can be absolutely lazy

We never got to see them operate, ever. If that first nigger was at KAF or Lindsey, the Pollacks there were simply fat, ugly fobbits. So if there were in fact top tier operators under all that fat, body hair, and fucked up looking uniforms, we wouldn't have been able to tell.

Norwegians: Spoiled rich kids with fancy toys, they do however have good training and high level of competency. 8/10

Germans: Weird people, would be competent if they weren't crippled by overwhelming bureaucracy. 6/10

French: Lazy fucks with gigantic sticks up their arses, they all suffer from terminal smugness and wear unearned expressions of superiority. 3/10

Poles: Enlisted dudes are pretty good, their officers and doctrine aren't. 6/10, would be a lot significantly better if they could shed the last remnants of the Soviet mindset

Swedes: 50/50 mix of sissy fags (and women) and actual psychos looking for any excuse to murder. I have no idea how they even function as a unified force. 7/10

Brits: Well trained and highly motivated, they do have a bit of an attitude problem. Their officers are all massive cunts. 8/10

Danes: Highly competent and highly motivated. Great attitudes. 9/10. Would be 10/10 if they had more than 12 people in their entire military.

Americans: Decent training and generally high motivation. Extremely well supplied. Friendly guys but dumb and/or naive, held back by bureaucracy and doctrine that treats lower enlisted like toddlers with zero authority to make decisions or take actions. 7/10

Finns :DDDDDDDDDD 7/10

Israel. Not trying to be funny. They smelled like unwashed BO vinegar poo and they have an attitude that they don't want to be there and think they're better than you, like refused to eat with us. My CSM told me they probably stole a shit load of equipment from us and there was pretty much nothing we could do about it.

Australians were the best, or Koreans. Australians are legit all best friend tier Chads and all around cool guys, Koreans are super chill and funnier than you'd think.

The absolute worst? We had a brigade of Indians come for airborne training at Bragg. Their morning PT, which started at 0800, began with a a trumpeter and hand drummer creating a surreal cacaphoney of noise. Their barracks doors swung open and belched out a stampede of filthy looking urchins waving short sticks. It looked like the last time their "uniforms" were washed was in a mud ditch back in India.

An officer would come corral the group into a choreographed stick fighting number, which I assumed was for show. I remember having our company run behind their formation, as requested, to make sure none of them would (inevitably) just stop running and walk off. The collective oder that wafted back into us was comparable to a pit latrine at a training range.

I could go on endlessly about how they were all pushed and thrown out of the door during the jumps, or about a safety speech they were given on not to shower and shit simultaneously in the group locker room but it was almost formulary. ANA by comparison would be the tip of the spear if their forces combined.

Maybe now, definitely not back in the day. They lacked basic common sense.

Ausfag here.
I had the misfortune of working with some Green Berets from a CIF who were down at the SFTC in Holsworthy Barracks where one of our SF Regiments lives. They were some of the most lazy, arrogant, ill-disciplined and incompetent 'soldiers' I've ever worked with.

No one at any point wore any kind of standardised uniform, it was like they would deliberately put on a random selection of military and civilian attire in the morning to look as dumb as humanly possible.
>No, Braxton, you can't wear a moth-eaten rock band t-shirt in the live fire shoot house it's not appropriate PPE.
>No, Kyle, you also can't wear a Crye shirt in 1980s forest camo with the sleeves literally ripped off like you just came off the set of an Arnold Schwarzenegger movie.
>Also no, Wyatt, ultralight hiking pants aren't flame retardant either why the fuck did you even put them on?
>No, Dallas, you can't wear fucking barefoot toe shoes in the fucking bush to do this serial with a 2km movement to contact
>No, Cole, you can't carry a knife in a kydex sheath into the mess hall attached to your belt. Who are you going to stab at morning tea?
>>
>>64288740
All of them would carry multiple items of retarded superluous shit
>rolled up american flags
>halloween prop-tier hatchets
>water bottles attached via rubber bands with pre-workout in them
>one guy had a folding tripod stool

I've never seen such a variety of completely inappropriate footwear worn by any military unit other than the ANA

There are so many situations they would have to know what a magnetic declination diagram is in training, certification, and selection that I just dont believe it

even my most retarded teamleaders know that shit cause its asked a million different times in a million different situations
>>
>>64288768
Oh I completely forgot. They lost their driving privileges when one of them got a DUI driving drunk on base on day 2. We had to chauffeur them around like children the whole time they were there. Absolutely everyone hated them and very few people traded the usual stuff like unit patches or coins or uniform items

Yeah 3rd degree burns from pyro don't care about your premadonna SF fashion culture.

Problem with one of their vehicles, while the crew was asleep another bunch of serbs had stolen parts for theirs from it and left them there. They used also extort protection money from their own people and pay crooks on the other side to vandalise property for homes sthat idid not pay it, tried to bribe offciers by sending prositutes to the base just fucking out of control completely. Mainly fat overweight lumps with beer guts and a few skinny kids in tow. Gangsters in Serbia are woven into the military.

The problem with American soldiers - and this isn't "all" of them, just very bad apples - is a good segment are outright criminals and a chunk of the officers are only there for gibsmedats. On paper the US military encourages individual initiative and flexibility, but in practice you end up with criminal gangs and welfare queens.
I wish it were otherwise and the US needs to face this problem head on before it loses us a war.

There's a reason the Japs don't like the USMC.
Marines have been responsible for a ton of rapes, gang rapes, and outright murders of local women and girls.
Marines also have a tendency to binge drink and start fights wherever they go.

I can only speak from my own persoal experiemce again maybe I met the good ones.
you know what happened to me last night, I caught an detained two guys who broke into my garage at 4am, I was unarmed and when one of them moved twoards me I just screamed at him to satay back and them both not to move the cops were on the way, one of them tried to edge towards me and I just went full beast on him and screamed at them to get on the ground and sit crosslegged with their hands on their heads and thank God they did it. Called the cops and they came really fast amd bagged them. One of them had a semi auto on him that the cops bagged when they patted him down. Crazy night. Quite tense for a bit after. I was wired for a couple of hours after.

Saudi exchange cadets in a military academy I worked at. Arrogant, lazy, little sissy nepo babies who thought they could bypass anything they didn't like by being born rich and acting smug. They terminally sucked at absolutely everything, whether physical or intellectual, and absolutely everyone hated them. There several incidents of cheating, paying other cadets to do their homework, and one even attempted to bribe an instructor to escape PT. Imagine the lovechildren of ANA, Private Pyle and "my dad is a lawyer" types.

you get the big bucks when you get deployed, or when working on anything that can't be maintained by a retard the military grabbed off the street after six weeks of training
>>
>>64291972

You would find batons more suitable? It is a non lethal crowd control tool. Cheaper and more effective than stun guns. Looks more brutal than some other options, and that is part of why it is effective. You instinctively don't want to be hit.
>>
>>64291987

Doctrine. The enemy is kept down by massive firepower because no one wants to charge into a wall of lead. It works well as long as supplies of ammo are infinite, which however are also an American speciality.
>>
>>64291917

Depends entirely on the country. In some places a soldier's job the best a man can get and they have to compete fiercely to get it. In other places it is where the scum is sent to be kept off the street. ANA didn't even try to be soldiers, they were there just for the paycheck and didn't have to do anything, frequently not even show up. They got away with it because the officers were the same breed. And tribe.
