OPSEC?
Should this information be made public?
It’s awfully specific, and clearly shows where we are weak.
Didn’t anyone ever read Sun Tzu?
Never, never, never disclose your strengths or weaknesses.
As long as they are inclusive and tolerant what difference does it make?
Anyone who gives the world combat-readiness info out needs to be up on charges.
It’s not really a surprise.
They were cancelling training last year and putting off firearms qualifications due to lack of ammo.
We are broke. The USSR forces in 1989 were better situated than the US is today.
Perhaps we should stop trying to project forces to places that don’t matter. And it might be a good idea not to send troops to countries where we are not threatened, nor where we have been invited.
Thanks Obama!
Now just waiting for that sneak attack from Canada.
One of the buffers between a conflict and nuke war was a standing military. Without one the jump to using nukes IMO is at a high level.
It’s true. Years of Obama’s deep budget cuts, approved by the Republicans I might add, have brought military readiness down to horrific levels. Then came sequestration on top of the budget cuts. The result is that our military is in a very, very sorry state. It’s not bluster.
I’m not worthy enough to be involved in OPSEC so I only know what I read and I don’t believe half of that.
China’s building man-made islands while our Far East deployed troops are having Drag Nights on bases.
And I don’t mean racing.
The only time we would need a force as immediate as one day would be a homeland invasion here...
If we plan to invade another country or region, the troops would be assembled, trained and ready when we go...
Very seldom does anything happen overnight except in movies like “Red Dawn”...
Stfu you bunch of dumb chits
Napoleon Bonaparte
So a secession of several red states could build up an army that could quickly be larger and stronger the the current federal standing army? Hmmm....
Yeah Dec 6 1941 and Sept 10 2001 come to mind
Both were tactical attacks...Not invasions...
Yeah, I wouldn't worry too much about that.
