SnakeProphet Posted June 28, 2005 #126 Share Posted June 28, 2005 Tell that to the million strong army of Iraq that lost to the 300,000 strong army of the US in less than thirty days. Millions?That's a joke right? Half of Iraq's military(no,not millions) left the country when the war started.The rest has been killed by the COMBINED allied forces,which are a little bit more than 300,000, + PMC.

Stixxman Posted June 28, 2005 #127 Share Posted June 28, 2005 Does it say millions retard? No, but the actual strength of the Iraq army at the time was close to ONE million. And the actual strength of the coalition forces was close to 300,000 in country. Next time read the post. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Again,half of them left the country when the war started,and the 300,000 are the coalition forces without PMC.Add PMC and you have some more.

Commander CMG Posted June 28, 2005 #129 Share Posted June 28, 2005 I don't think there and need to use the word retard. If you can't answer in a civil manner don't bother posting. Iraq's army were not well trained and many of them were forced to fight and in the end just like their Air force most of them just handed themselves in.

aquatus1 Posted June 28, 2005 #130 Share Posted June 28, 2005 We are all giving our opinions here, and calling each other names is infantile. Ultimately, the people with the latest and greatest information are the peopl who send us to war, so like it or not, those are the decisions that we have to trust. Personally, as I said, I do believe America would eventually win against China. That is, assuming that Iraq remains in hand, and we have allies to assist. The war would be long and bloody, and there will be no immideate satisfaction. To be perfectly frank, I would think that we would eventually be forced to withdraw more due to politics than actual combat, much like Vietnam.

Stixxman Posted June 28, 2005 #131 Share Posted June 28, 2005 Hey let snake stand up for himself, your not his mom Xsas, and if he doesn't want to be insulted he should dispense with insulting people himself. Its just common sense, I mean you can't be there everytime someone picks on him can you? He will have to learn to be better at replying to posts or he will get flamed. The kill ratio for the US army is huge, they are the most efficient soldiers in the world at killing. No communist army is worth S@##, they are conscripts looking to head over the hill the first chance they get. Its a mindset difference, Americans fight for their country, thats one of their training mantras. Communist soldiers are forced to fight which does not mae for loyal troops. Plus they are really poorly trained and supported. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Snake's reply, while not terribly social, was no more insulting than any other agressive debater. The word retard is clearly an insult, no matter how you look at it. Either way, it is unworthy of the entire page it has taken up. Both of you get back into your corners, and let's get this topic back on track.

I am me Posted June 29, 2005 #146 Share Posted June 29, 2005 Who cares who has the best military? It's like a game to you guys, just like it is a game to the politicians. "We can kill more of you than you can of us, muhahaha." The military is supposed to be a defence, not a means to take over the world. A strong military causes more problems than it ever solves. Wars are not won with the "best" technology, or the "best" trained soldiers. Some of this helps, but hell...look at Iraq. Never underestimate the power of determination. To win a war you have to have a real reason to risk your life, that is why we are not going to win in Iraq. Comparing militaries is like comparing dick sizes. It is childish and pointless.

"We can kill more of you than you can of us, muhahaha." Oh, c'mon now. Were not pretending to do anything other than speculate on who would win in a pretend scenario. Of course its a game to us, and there is no reason to be ashamed of that. The military is supposed to be a defence, not a means to take over the world. A strong military causes more problems than it ever solves. Really? Ask the former occupants of Tibet about that. Wars are not won with the "best" technology, or the "best" trained soldiers. Some of this helps, but hell...look at Iraq. Never underestimate the power of determination. To win a war you have to have a real reason to risk your life, that is why we are not going to win in Iraq. What about Iraq? We won that particular war rather handily. Does that mean everyone is going to shrug and say "oh, well, let's all be happy little occupied sympathisers." ? Of course not. Having an active resistance, however, does not mean the war marches on. No more so than having an active Confederate Army in Texas means Texas is still fighting for independance. Comparing militaries is like comparing dick sizes.

Having an active resistance, however, does not mean the war marches on. No more so than having an active Confederate Army in Texas means Texas is still fighting for independance. The Iraq war is far from over. It isn't like there are 5 Iraqis jumping around like jack rabbits over there randomly shooting off their AKs. There are more casualties now than at the start of the war. Is the confederate army in texas still killing off members of the union? I see no problem with having an interesting conversation about it.
