A New Era Of Mass Armies Approaches
BY IAN WELSH | SEPTEMBER 29, 2023
The army, or a part of it at the war college, has perked up and noticed some of the lessons of the Ukraine war, and that it’s a war that the US military could not fight. They’ve missed a lot of things, or felt they couldn’t/shouldn’t write about them, but they’ve figured some stuff out and written about them in a new report, “A Call to Action: Lessons from Ukraine for the Future Force” by Lieutenant Colonel Katie Crombe, and Professor John A. Nagle.
The entire thing is worth reading, but I’m going to pull out three of the main points. The first is that a volunteer US military can’t fight a real war.
The Russia-Ukraine War is exposing significant vulnerabilities in the Army’s strategic personnel depth and ability to withstand and replace casualties.11 Army theater medical planners may anticipate a sustained rate of roughly 3,600 casualties per day, ranging from those killed in action to those wounded in action or suffering disease or other non-battle injuries. With a 25 percent predicted replacement rate, the personnel system will require 800 new personnel each day. For context, the United States sustained about 50,000 casualties in two decades of fighting in Iraq and Afghanistan. In large-scale combat operations, the United States could experience that same number of casualties in two weeks. (emphasis mine)

Isn’t the USA building a miltary base inside Israel? Iran which isn’t building a base in Syria, should offer to continue to desist from so doing in trade for Israel disallowing a US base in Israel. m\\

what I don’t understand is that Israel openly threatens to assassinate world leaders and gets away with it.
how in the hell is that possible?
Israel carries out the worst, illegal behavior in the world against other nations… and no one says a dam thing
incredible!

Who could blame Syria for wanting to defend itself from terrorist neighbor Israel? Not I. Syria hasn’t done anything to them, but as always, Israel twists the narratrive so that they are always the premiere victims.

“The minister claimed that while so far Israel hasn’t gotten involved in the Syrian conflict, it is willing to topple the Syrian government”.
Israel HAS carried out Aerial attacks on Syria, whilst the Israel and American backed Mercenaries have done most of the fighting, and tried to remove Mr Assad. But, thanks to the Russian and Iranian allies of Syria, Syria is still a liberated country. AND Israel is most unhappy that THEIR scheming plan to take over Syria has failed dramatically.
Too bad Israel. It’s no wonder that their are SO MANY “Anti-Semites” in the World. Maybe THEY”RE RIGHT, and You’re wrong.
Go home, and look after those nice Palestinians…….
