Generic question, do other countries treat marines like the US does? The US uses them as tip of the spear troops/more training/etc. Do other countries do that or are their marines just 'guys with guns on a boat'?

Russia just loves threatening consequences. Time to threaten countries in response to... Potentially (probably) being removed from the human rights council?  https://twitter.com/EerikNKross/status/1511795736370946060?s=20&t=dB8T6_GmdF0xrpC4oeQYqQ Article: https://nationalpost.com/pmn/news-pmn/crime-pmn/russia-threatens-states-with-consequences-over-u-n-vote-on-human-rights-council Apparently Russia will get mad at you if you vote to remove them or even abstain from voting on their removal at all. Normal poo poo. Thank god someone stated the obvious: quote:“Russia blatantly and openly threatening countries who vote to suspend them from the U.N. Human Rights Council is only further evidence that Russia needs to be suspended immediately from the U.N. Human Rights Council,” Olivia Dalton, spokesperson for the U.S. mission to the United Nations, said on Wednesday.

chitoryu12 posted:The part specifically being referred to is the gas tube. When an AK fires, some of the expanding propellant gas is tapped off to that tube above the barrel, which pushes on a gas piston that in turn pushes the bolt back to automatically cycle the gun. If that tube gets clogged with residue, it'll start failing to cycle properly. Russia issues ammo with corrosive primers that's cheaper to make but will cause further corrosive residue to build up. That explanation for the AK 12 is kind of indicative of the entire Russian war effort, isn't it? Badly thought through, failing as time goes on due to cutting corners.

B-Rock452 posted:It's odd, the idea that the AR platform is unreliable is so prevalent and I always heard how the AK is a magical gun that will always fire even if it's covered in mud and God knows what else. Then I build an AR and I think I cleaned it once after a thousand rounds and literally never had an issue. And the AR beats the AK in just about every type of mud test. If the control group already has a high failure rate there isn't much the test group can be worse at. The mud might even act as lubrication.

pro starcraft loser posted:Generic question, do other countries treat marines like the US does? The US uses them as tip of the spear troops/more training/etc. I believe the USMC is rather unique in terms of its actual size compared to most/any other nation that has a defined marine force, though Russia might be relatively close. For places like the UK and the like, their marines mostly trace their lineage back to Age of Sail navies where Marines would be present for ship boarding actions (Better for trained soldiers to board and occasionally conduct landing parties than pull sailors off other important duties). The US didn't really have much of a navy until that time was mostly over, though the Marines did get a few actions in (Including 'The Shores of Tripoli' when dealing with the Barbary States back when the US was a wee baby nation), so they really saw a greater use as actual soldiers, albeit with a bit of a naval specialization. That increased in importance with some of the wars that the US got up to and the increase in overseas holdings and combined with lots of PR they're pretty much a military inside of a military. For Russia their Naval Infantry got pretty sizable during WWII and got a pretty good reputation then. They existed for a while before that but not to any real strength. We won't talk about Japan's Naval Infantry history Taerkar fucked around with this message at 21:35 on Apr 6, 2022 |

Flowers for QAnon posted:Have any sources? I enjoy reading about bureaucratic stupidity. Currently trying to flip through which old issue of ARMOR I think began the chain of bibliography checking that made me find it. No promises. Most of the issue was that Infantry field manuals only cited urban combat in WW2, still talking about Shermans and Siegfried defenses well into the '80s. When they would say modern things, they would say "avoid cities at all costs, let the air handle them." It wasn't until the 1980s that we really started trying to develop urban combat doctrines.

mobby_6kl posted:Needs a bit more negative space imo After the last scene of my life flashed before me, I looked back at the tracks in the sand. I noticed that at many times along the path of war crimes, especially at the very lowest and saddest times, there was only one set of tracks. This really troubled me, so I asked commander about it. "Commander, you said once I decided to follow you, You'd support me all the way. But I noticed that during the saddest and most troublesome times of my life, there was only one set of tracks. I don't understand why, when I needed You the most, You would leave me." He whispered, "why the gently caress would I bother sending in ground troops or support vehicles to protect armor?"

Cthulu Carl posted:Needs some Werner Herzog narration Tank Man (2005) Werner Herzog: And what haunts me, is that in all the faces of all the tanks that Treadwell ever filmed, I discover no kinship, no understanding, no mercy. I see only the overwhelming indifference of nature. To me, there is no such thing as a secret world of the tanks. And this blank stare speaks only of a half-bored interest in food. But for Timothy Treadwell, this tank was a friend, a savior.
