I think it's dumb to be attempting to critique anything on the operational level at this point, given the information we have.

Even military analysts can't speak beyond rank speculation right now and we're just autistic laymen on a forum that makes fun of internet retards.

German logistics were still heavily horse based. They never motorized their logistical train like America, which built a fuck ton of trucks, and Russia, who the US gave a fuck ton of trucks.

This is irrelevant to the thread but for anyone interested in the US growing pains of getting mechanized The Chieftain covers it in this video and the follow-up video as part of the overall development of armored doctrine.

Tussia showed how poor their army is. Europe lost all of its fears of the russians not stopping at the polish border.


cant use trucks if you barely have enough fuel for the tanks.

It's their logistics that are retarded but even then I think all of the claims of abandoned armor littered mysteriously throughout Ukraine are mostly false. As it turns out, a vehicle in a convoy can be refueled from another vehicle in that same convoy and abandoning armor is sacrilege, at least in most militaries.

Imagine being so dedicated to being a propagandist you actually lie for your favored globohomo government after they shoot you. Journos are absolute subhumans.

Are you kidding me? I thought getting shot at was the ONE criteria that guaranteed you're more of a journalist than any other. This feels contrarian. Call me gay and stupid if there's something I'm not getting here.

I don't know if it originates from Woodrow Wilson iirc banning alcohol from Navy ships because there were a bunch of christcucks back in the day who hated the eternal beer.

There is also the whole aspect class struggle to alcohol where folks into wines or spirits wanted to keep the whiskey drinkers down.

The US military since the 1776 revolution has had a rich history of proud drunkards but it does all stop around the 1900s mysteriously, all because of those Southern rich smug cunts who hate the beer and were into the whole telo taller faggotry or whatever that gay shit is called.

Mostly because of insurance. Back in Colonial times, you'd get cheaper rates on insurance for an expedition or trip by boat if the crew agreed to abstain from alcohol. From that norm, the US Navy started allowing sailors to forego their booze rations in favor of higher pay in the 1800s.

The military, being an institution primarily run by mainline protestants from the south and New England, has always discouraged drinking on a cultural level. And this made it easy to turn into a blanket rule when you no longer needed to issue spruce beer to stave off scurvy or quinine drinks to fight babesiosis.

I've never understood the US military's thinking on that.

Go to a military ball and get absolutely smashed while in dress uniform = okay
Have a beer in the field = not okay

Before the military ball you'd get around an hour lecture on why you shouldn't get drunk during it, then the same higher ups that told you so does it anyway. Sometimes miss the Army, but shit like that I don't.

It's largely more recent than that.

Part of it was cleaning up the military after Vietnam. Piss tests in the 80's to get rid of the pot heads. I think it wasn't until the mid-80's they made it so that soldiers had to follow state law when it came to alcohol purchasing and possession laws.

Which meant you could have killed a man with a bayonet and gotten shot in the guts and couldn't have a beer back home.

No more stills and the like.

But the drinking culture went pretty far.

We used to sit in the motorpool on Wed. Afternoon and drink beer. Hell, most of the NCO's and officers had a whiskey bottle in their desk. A lot of vehicles had beer or bottles of booze tucked away in the toolbox. We'd be out in the field and get beer at night. Sure, it was limited so nobody got piss drunk because of stand-to and all that good stuff.

The REAL teatottaling I ran into was when I came back stateside in the early 1990's.

You'd think I'd whipped out my dick and pissed on the CO's boots when I walked into the motorpool with a six-pack when we were supposed to do maintenance on the vehicles and handed out beers to my squad because doing PMCS sucks sweaty donkey balls.
