Won't disagree. US military history is mostly a matter of beating up on--and sometimes getting pushed around by--much weaker opponents, be it stone age cultures, poor nations, or nations already tired out by someone else. Yes, that includes WW2, where the Soviets did the heavy lifting in Europe and the Japanese were already getting tired by 1941 after 4+ years of brutal war in China.

And...so what? The mongols of the middle ages were great at war. What are they remembered for? Death, wanton slaughter, and destruction, and not much else. The U.S. will be remembered better by history a thousand years from now. I think you agree with that, too.

Same thing Rome did. Logistics is warmaking. Smart nations don’t fight fair, they make the preparations to predetermine the outcome. Hope this helps!

The mongols were needle dicks who needed Persians to run China and Russia because they couldn’t do shit without a vizier, who, fun fact, was always banging their women as Persians do (we chose Lebanon as our modern satraps for their women)

America is the greatest military empire in human history. You sell your goods in US dollars, you share your opinions on a forum whose servers and in the United States for a game designed here, and you share your thoughts in English. Good game pussies, this is our world. Plenty have tried to make it theirs (Germany, Japan), and more will try (China). But pretenders then and now will face the same outcome. Dresden, Hiroshima, Nagasaki. That’s how dad did it. That’s how America does it

Alright this thread is going great but it wouldn't be complete if we can't discuss building 7 HONESTLY

I have access to a video from a NEW ANGLE

... who's "retarded" now??

[Trexller]

Yeah Im always interested in WTC building 7. A 3rd building in NYC falls to the ground in 9/11 and nobody blinks an eye? WTF. Definitely a false flag operation.

The Soviets were only successful in that they just threw wave after wave of human misery at the Nazis until they ran em back to Berlin. It was decided in advance that this was how it would be played. Stalin happily agreed because he knew he would be keeping All The Territory that his millions of troops simply overran.

but yeah, the victors do write the history books.

This is widely discredited post-war Western propaganda meant, once again, to hallow and mythologize the American war effort as a skilled but small force of crack troops who rampaged across Western Europe, defeating the Germans. (lol)

By the middle to end of the war following Operation Barbarossa, the Soviets had more than twice as many tanks as the third reich and they were comparable tanks, and their tactics toward the end of the war were far from human waves.

For someone with a minor in military history I'd have thought you would have known this, yikes.

To throw an asthmatic ackshually at some mook who claims to know about history but clearly doesn't.

Also the point should be self evident within the context of the thread
