It sounds like Half-Life fan fiction. "I never thought I'd see an escalation vortex, let alone create one!"

What was the GiP story involving the Davy Crockett? "Six hours ago you were wooing frauleins in market square, now you've been dropped of with your platoon at a crossroads in the middle of nowhere with the order to hold out at all costs. Three hours ago, battalion radio went dark. Two hours ago, you lost contact with the company commander. Now, "HOLY poo poo. LOOK AT THOSE DUST CLOUDS. RUSSIANS! WHAT DO WE DO, SIR?!"

It's like someone looked at McNamera's management of the Vietnam War and concluded that the reason the US lost was that they didn't have enough charts and process diagrams.

The US-Soviet Incidents at Sea Treaty was less about reigning in each government than it was about reigning in ship’s captains and ornery fleet commanders from doing dumb/expensive stuff. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/U.S.-Soviet_Incidents_at_Sea_agreement

To clarify, the dumb fuckery was on the part of those who shot the messenger, not the one raising the alarum. e. credit where it's due, bravo zulu to the Capt for going out like a hero instead of leaking classified info to his harem in a drug-induced amnesic episode while gambling with public funds or whatever.

Proper Kerni ng posted:There was an autobiography from the mid-'80s that has thus far furiously resisted all my efforts to google it, written by a Red Army officer who decided he'd Had Enough Of All This and defected by just sort of... walking to the American Zone and turning himself in at the embassy, as I recall. His stories of how ludicrous it was growing up under Stalinism would have been laughed off the Sci-Fi Paperback section at an airport newsstand during the Red Scare, they were just so completely gobsmacking in their absurdity. The whole thing was full of lurid bureaucratic stupidity, but the one story that's really stuck with me was how he worked on a collective farm as a kid and was tasked with driving a tanker truck to the regional distribution center to pick up the thousands of gallons of liquid fertilizer the government required all the farms to use, and as soon as the hundreds of trucks left the facility they would drive around the nearest hill and line up to dump all the poo poo in the river, because it was so toxic that if they tried to put it on their fields it would burn out the soil and they'd never be able to grow anything there again. Millions of gallons of intensely poisonous helljuice dumped directly into a river-- which was a sterile, foul-smelling sludge ditch for many miles downstream-- multiple times a year because if anyone involved had refused to go pick the poo poo up they would've been gulag'd in a heartbeat. The 'Liberators'; My Life in the Soviet Army, By Viktor Suvorov? quote:So young Suvorov, like members of other collectives, was given the job of picking up the fertilizer allotment and getting rid of it as fast as possible. The favored dumping place was the Dnieper River. So far so good - everybody had met his obligations to the state, and pollution is not a major ideological offense. Unfortunately for Mr. Suvorov, however, he decided to pour some remaining fertilizer on his tiny private plot, thereby ruining it and with it his chances of surviving the winter. So he faced a choice: ''I could end up in jail, where the food is free, or I could become an officer, where the food is also free.'' joat mon fucked around with this message at 04:25 on Apr 3, 2020 |

It's been like 35 years, I might have actually read both of them at the same time and they seem to cover some of the same ground. As a teenager I was obsessed with the different ways different governments manage to make the same stupid mistakes for different reasons, I devoured that sort of thing.

Proper Kerni ng posted:It was definitely The "Liberators" and may also have included Inside The Soviet Army, thank you! Suvorov had a great ghost writer for his English-language publications, they're all extremely readable. He has, however, been caught out as a bullshit artist. Inside the Soviet Army is a great book and very informative, but he claims the Red Army had some vehicles that never existed, like a ~122mm SP automatic mortar that'd be super handy to have. but never existed. So his "Inside" books are useful, but have great glaring flaws. His personal experiences books like 'The Liberators'" must therefore be taken with a larger than usual grain of salt to allow for the "no poo poo, there I was" factor. His story that Stalin was preparing to invade Germany and got pre-empted can't be taken seriously at all. tl;dr His books are fun reads, but often bullshit.
