NEWS If War Comes, Will the U.S. Navy Be Prepared?

[Griz882]

Its not arcs of history. Those things happened and there’s studies regarding exactly how and why they happened. There are multiple academic papers out there on these subjects for a reason.


And nowhere did I say no one understood cyber. I made a point to say that no one knows how the next conflict will be.

can you say with certainty how the next conflict is going to be? No.

The best way to stop feeling like you’re arguing with a 12 year old, is to stop arguing with the 12 year old.

@Brett327 do you mind if I borrow this for a few minutes?

China Researcher for academic think tank 2020-Present

In the racism/discrimination thread you claimed your present job involved traveling the world helping underprivileged. A few days ago you said you were leaving on a work trip for this organization and would not have the time to continue the debates.

And yet….

@nodropinufaka makes some good points but it feels like 99% of the time he is just trying to get a rise out of the more conservative posters.

It does. I travel the world for the organization to research where China is growing and provide humanitarian assistance so they dont.

Like I said. Mods can PM me and I can verify it. But only if I get a flair.

Literally nobody here cares enough about you as a person to go through this much trouble…

You’re another former Intel O that thinks because they read some briefs and have a clearance they know just about everything about their subject. Your arrogance is telling,

Walking away at 13 years of service tells me more…you either weren’t invited to play anymore, or you were so disenfranchised with our chosen profession you got your O-4 pay the GS route. So I take anything you say with a couple grains of salt, you clearly have an axe to grind (against the military, the government, the politicians, the Whites, the URL community…did I miss any?) and it clouds your judgement.

You actually make, somewhat, valid points regarding the multi-faceted approach China is/will take, but we can’t get past your attitude to have an adult conversation.

Maybe take a break, take a breath, spend more time saving civilization, and less time showing your ass on a forum that’s not even designed for you….

Your exact words when I said that there is a possibility that no TACIAIR involvement- "you must not know much about OPLANS".

In fact, that's not what I said at all...

I recommend you read some OPLANs to understand TACAIR's role.

You're making a bizarre argument that we should focus on outlier scenarios? What is the purpose of that? I don't even know what your argument is, except, perhaps to just be argumentative.

Well I tried to have an adult conversation and all @Brett327 did was avoid answering and said I didn’t know anything.

Also I didn’t walk away at 13 years of service. I left at 10 and was only commissioned for 7 years. Not sure how you got your math? I wasn’t asked to leave or anything I just never planned to make the military my career.

And I didn’t even stay a GS for that matter. I left for academia.

I didn’t even make an argument. You did.

I simply said TACAIR may not be involved in an engagement with China and you said that it’s not possible that happens and that unconventional or Asymmetric warfare with the PRC won’t happen either.

To which I replied- you don’t know that.

I left for academia.

Home of the libtards.

Those who can do, those who can’t teach.

Good pay, benefits, and strong union. Hard to go wrong.

Job lot writing at a think tank is not academia.
