Warfare and Tactics - Do you even read Sun Shoo?

[Sergeant Bilko]

Mad Dog Mattis has a

Ah, Cold Dogshit Mattis. In Afghanistan Cold Dogshit Mattis distinguished himself by refusing to let his whirly birds be used for boring shit like evacuating the wounded. https://web.archive.org/web/2021022...is-left-my-men-to-die-in-afghanistan-1.442367 You see, after reading over 1 million books within his personal library Matthis came to the inescapable conclusion that Alexander defeated the Bactrians by fucking over the U.S. Army. Fuckin' based you say? Hold the orgasm, we're just getting started.

In Iraq, after losing the first battle of Fallujah, Cold Dogshit Mattis celebrated his celibacy by bombing a wedding https://web.archive.org/web/2016120...dding-party-video-backs-survivors-claims.html

After what some might miscontrue as military misadventures in the middle east and central asia Cold Dogshit Mattis decided to take a different approach and introduced his Marines to cultural sensitivity training. This, soccer moms all the across the U.S. agreed, was just the reduction in manhood the Marines needed to be successfull in their occupational duties.

An eternity fighting (mostly) pointless wars in the middle east whole heartly convinced Cold Dogshit Mattis that the US really needed more war. As the commander of Central Command Mattis advocated for war against Iran according to Leon Pannetta. With the Department of Defense Mattis increased the numbers of troops in Afghanistan and famously argued against withdrawing US troops from Syria. https://web.archive.org/web/2019110...articles/2019/11/21/defeat-of-general-mattis/

the gangbanger and the Taliban guy who can't even read have an advantage over you because they've killed people

TRUE TRUE. YES. This chick is has killed more people than most taliban gangbangers. I'm sure she offers shooting classes or something.



Remember boys, killin' aint easy. It's not like some 85 year old woman could https://web.archive.org/web/2024041...e-intruder-heroic-act-self-defense-rcna147312

Yeah but a kid would really be a disadvantage https://web.archive.org/web/2024070....com/intruder-alabama-talladega-baby/1315356/

Now, to be prefectly fair it's entirely possible that the two douchebags who got shot weren't of the stone cold killin' variety. Fucking morons will tell you that success or failure in war or a gunfight as a lot to do with preparation, mentality, physical fitness, familiarity with your chosen weapons, and of course that notorious bitch Lady Luck. but they are all fucking losers who can't get laid. NO! SOME RANDOM LITTLE BITCH WHO KILLED HER BOYFRIEND IN A MOTOR VEHICLE COLLISION HAS THE ADVANTAGE OVER YOU BECAUSE SHE HAS DEMONSTRATED THE WILL AND ABILITY TO KILL. . . . so I guess you'd better bend over and kiss your sorry asses goodbye.

 

[Meat Target]

Ah, Cold Dogshit Mattis.

Yeah, it's a shame what a fag he turned out to be in truth.

 

[El President Camacho]

Everyone needs to be way more afraid of drones. Things will get much worse, bros.

Very relevant

Happy 4th of July my niggas

 

[El President Camacho]

Don't know if this belongs here go ahead and delete/sweep it if so mods.
Most "EDC" is just common sense ( for some ) but this vid really sticks out as one of the best when thinking like a Cartel or Glownigger. Skip to 3min to get to the point.

Remember: When red touches yellow, you're a dead fellow. If yellow touches black you're ok Jack. Also around Blax never relax and if there's more than three you won't see me.

 

[The Coon]

Don't overestimate your own abilities just because you can shoot paper at a range. The gangbanger and the Taliban guy who can't even read have an advantage over you, because they've actually killed people and been in not-fucking-around fights where life or death are the stakes.

Paper targets don't move or fire back at you.

I would research using cover, especially for urban areas. Knowing how and when to use cover is very important.

Also, go ahead and start getting into shape and eating better stuff. I'm not saying you need to be in special forces shape, professional athlete shape or "jacked", but if you can't even run a mile in under 9 or 10 min(and not be laying on the ground exhaust from it) you aren't going to make it very long.

 

[Thel]

If you do not have military training, logistics, or buddies who have these things, consider a mindset of never directly engaging an enemy force in attacks. The only time you should be in any sort of costly prolonged firefight is if you on the defense, and even then you should be doing everything you can to break contact.

There is definitely a "Gold Standard" for how to fight unconventionally, and it's the Provisional IRA. However, you must overcome the "Fedposting" meme - speak openly and associate freely.

You want the know the number 1 cause of death for IRA members during the troubles? It was other IRA members, their inability to establish sigint and their obsession with larping as an actual army with constant meetings, briefs and fucking writing stuff down, which led them to be continually compromised by the RUC and MI5. They were shit at compartmentalising information. Their infamous 'Tout Hunts' where they'd go looking for an informer, usually ended up with some poor fucking sod getting every bone in his body broken and then shot in the back of the head. Meanwhile actual British informants were protected, because their handlers were always careful to make sure they had answers to any questions.

Incidentally the ASU members no 1 rule for surviving was never to have weapons on them when they weren't actually using them, because the RUC in particular would just shoot them dead from a distance with a quick planned op. The famous south Armagh sniper would hop into the specially modified hatchback car with a .50bmg mounted on a tripod inside , fire a round at some poor sod, then he'd get the fuck away from it. Which is why he was captured alive.

A very good primer for how America still wages war is the Ranger Handbook. It's easily found, a simple read, and it will get you well versed in how SUT is taught and executed by US forces.

I am not sure if this is agreeing or not, but this isn't what I meant. It's good shit, but I meant "Don't fall into the trap of thinking everyone is a Fed, just speak your mind, be honest, and don't be retarded" - as in, presently, talk about the reality of a serious situation and associate more with your local community. Being concerned about real problems isn't a crime.

It's true, they could have done better - it's good to recognise their faults just as much as their strengths. Still the Gold Standard until I see a better one. There was definitely room for improvement, and the Tout Hunting was exploited in the same way the "Fedposting" meme is by the government. Iirc, MI5 was the one instigating half of those tout hunts anyway - and they had the Military Reaction Force.

I would like to emphasise, for lurking Americans, there was a group of the British Army dedicated to shooting British citizens and framing the murders on Protestants, to draw the IRA to murder Protestants rather than British soldiers.

Anyone remember Lee Malvo the "DC Sniper". For weeks he had East Coast normies on edge using the tactic

 

[Slap47]

A reminder: Always fight unfair. War is for getting shit done and there are no referees.

Does anybody know much about US Armored Infantry tactics in WW2?
I want to know what role the M3/M2 Halftracks played in combat, specifically

US doctrine was to sit back and let planes blow up enemy tanks whenever possible.

 

[The Grognard]

US doctrine was to sit back and let planes blow up enemy tanks whenever possible.

Don't underestimate how the Americans were able to lean into Detroit back then to ensure everything was motorized. This made logistics easy compared to the rest of the world and allowed them to respond to any crisis at the frontline fast. They also had a remarkable amount of artillery to throw at any problem.

No there wasn't, even if there was why wouldn't they just have shot members of the IRA. It's not as if the Army didn't know who they were and where they lived.

You might be referring to incidents where members of the Ulster Defence Regiment were also members of Loyalist paramilitary groups. The UDR had a large proportion of useless incompetant shitbags, fit for nothing more than manning checkpoints. Their number 1 priority was fiddling their expenses, everything else was secondary. In the 80's members of the UDR leaked information to loyalist paramilitaries, which included names and addresses of IRA members. Even when on occassion they drew fucking maps to the house of the IRA member, they usually still managed to shoot some other random sod. They were so fucking stupid and incompetant, on occassion even murdering protestants, it gave credence to the suspician they were doing it on purpose.

At the end of the day, the IRA survived because it was treated as a criminal matter, and the only concession was that there were no jury trials of members. The IRA legal team was probably it's most effective arm. RIP Pat Finucane.

That's not going to be the case in the US. Two people talking, open themselves up to a conspiracy charge, doesn't matter whether there was genuine intent or the capacity to commit a crime.

 

[Doctor Love]

No, it was the Military Reaction Force, specifically.

I was emphasising that Catholics were still white British citizens. The drive-by shootings, using stolen vehicles.

They wanted to instigate a response against Protestants at large, by false-flagging random attacks against Catholics. This was a specialist group - later succeeded by the Special Recon Unit. It's one of the four Special Forces groups, now.

 

[HyperboreanRightsActivist]

Am reading Thompson's guide on counterinsurgency (Defeating Communist Insurgency: Experiences in Malaya and Vietnam), and one thing that bothers me is how they politicize Clausewitz's idea of mass-mobilization. Mass politics doesn't work in places like Mali where people are bound by 500-year old tribal allegiances and a constant fear of their next-door neighbor casting voodoo spells on their ass. The failure of the current UN operation in Mali is proof of this. Triestman does a better job removing the political core from counterinsurgency measures (he had too, given the nature of Iraq), but it's hard finding a good modern asymetric warfare theorist that isn't tainted by Mao and Galula.

 

[Quence]

These are the top fighter aircraft in terms of # of kills. Also, the top fighter aces are listed. I don’t know how accurate these numbers are. If they’re reasonably accurate, then there are some surprising stats in this video.

 

[Jewthulhu]

A really insightful and in-depth look into Australian defense planning. Even if you're not Australian I'd recommend it if you like military strategy.

I'd recommend watching this in sections over several days. It's a longass video.

 

[Chongqing]

An interesting tactic used in the Iraq insurgency was that they always covered their faces. They would do shoot and run style attacks, but their faces and beards would always be covered. Due to this, it was impossible to know how many of them there actually were, since they couldn't be identified. It seemed like a very small number when in reality it was a huge number. Because of this, the "security forces" didn't really organize against them until it was too late.

Interesting little tidbit most of America's major Rd. systems that go through North Carolina Pennsylvania and the mountainous parts of the US are really easy to trigger rock slides in with the right amount of explosives
