Rep Power: 1 | | Does American Eagle have the guts to confront Russian Bear ? Does the American Eagle have the guts to confront the Russian Bear in Battle today?. God knows America has the technological edge with regards to overall weaponry. But I used to hear that the Russian Army had a numerical edge.
Is the situation still the same or has there been any major changes with regards to how the American military matches up to the Russian Military.? |

You obviously haven't the foggiest idea what a bootneck is, have you. For your education and to save you further embarrassment, it is a navy slang term for a Royal Marine.
Now, care to explain why my screen name makes me the last person to critique someone's post?
Standing by for more asinine comment.

Why are you so desperate for war, when everybody here knows there's not a chance in hell you would volunteer to go over and fight to the death for Georgia? |

Rep Power: 10 | | | I'm willing to wager any amount of money, that a decade from now this Georgian-Russian conflict will barely be remembered by anyone, and will merit barely a footnote in the history books, characterized as some week long minor, nearly forgotten border conflict over an unimportant small territory that has been in dispute for decades.
So calm down. |

Are you really that predictable, or am I just rather brilliant at recognising that you've reached your own level of incompetence. Now, do stick to the subject old fella, and answer the question. In case you've forgotten again, I'll remind you: Care to explain why my screen name makes me the last person to critique someone's post?
If you are unable to answer, may I suggest that you go forth and multiply.

I believe you were yammering on about do we have the guts to confront Russia on the battlefield, a warmongering, idealistic point of view that does not take into account the reality that we don't have currently have anything available to confront them with.
Perhaps if we hadn't unnecessarily opened a second front prior to completely securing the first front we might have enough assets to respond to another global emergency that actually requires military intervention.
A basic tenet of military strategy I would think someone claiming to be a vet would understand.
