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)

“Soldiers don’t die for their Country. They die because of their country”….Look at the number of deaths of American soldiers in The American War, in Vietnam 58,400? and over 350,000 wounded. These people were lied to by the USA Government. The “Vietnam War” was a war or aggression by the USA against a 3rd World Country, based on a lie that Vietnam attacked an American ship in the Gulf of Tonkin, and the people in Government that lied to the people paid no price for their lies and indeed, Henry Kissinger was awarded a Nobel Peace Prize when it ended.
American Soldiers should never believe again, lies from their government. Afghanistan, Iraq, Libya, Syria, ALL started with Lies from the USA Government.

Thank you Brian. What is more appalling is the fact that if ‘we’ as Americans can go to a foreign sovereign country and destroy it…we sure as HELL can resist this fucking government in ANY DRAFT or otherwise. I am a believer in true defense never leaving American borders. If McNamara was the most hated man in America…then why on EARTH didn’t these valiant morons or otherwise have the COMMON SENSE to resist these madmen by uniting together? I will never get it…nor ever forgive it on either side. We are a warmongering mentality and the world suffers for it. The only way to stop it is to have no more morons to enlist for their own gain learning to kill innocent people. SHAME on them and on this blood soaked America. There is no excuse for ignorance even in poverty. In fact I ask the college grad “Why didn’t you resist?”. The real morons are these assholes in government…who I wish I could line up to a firing squad. NO MORE WAR BY AMERICAN MORONS.

Wasn’t the first ‘attack’ a defensive reaction to a provocation? Also a bogus casus belli?
