Call me crazy, but I kind of want to see how we would fare in a modern day war.

No you don't. Our politicians haven't had the stomach to actually win since at least the beginning of the century.

So Russia?

I have a feeling you wouldn’t feel that way anymore if it actually happen.

So, three things.
1. We’re behind in the technology race thanks to Obama and his 8 years of budget cuts to the military. We missed out on the hypersonic missile tech, among other things.
2. Our military leaders, like our politicians, are woke and more focused on diversity, inclusiveness, and equity, than in people who want to fight for our country.
3. We haven’t done what it takes to win a war since WWII. Something changed in us when we dropped those bombs in Japan. Since then, we’ve gone at half speed, and our adversary has been not. We have invented all these rules of engagement to hold ourselves back, and probably gotten good people killed because of it.
Long short short- we’re technology challenged, softer than we should be, and we hamstring ourselves. Russia would dominate us.
And I hate to say that, but it’s true.

Hell yea, lets send tens of thousands of young men and women to die, plus countless civilians.

No man you do not want our current military involved in this. Most of the actual boots on the ground are still great. It’s the people above them that will scare the living shite out of you wanting our trips going through this. Again we still have very brave soldiers that want to do the right thing but the ppl that command them is a total cluster frick

Son, this isn’t a game or a remake of Halo. Suggest you take a step back and more importantly have a talk with with Jesus.

Wtf?? Two nuclear powers in a war, and our President* doesn’t even know what planet he’s on, and theirs is out to prove something… What could go wrong?
What an asinine thing to wish for.

OK. Send YOUR kids over there.

All of these comments have me feeling like people believe what our military wants them to believe. I’m 100% on board with making the woke jokes, etc about the military. But, today while being curious, I learned that last year we spent more on our military than the next TEN spenders COMBINED.
American universities are where most of the Russian and Chinese tech/engineering people get educated. How can people not be confident that our US military is always light years ahead of everyone else is beside me.
Our media is the garbage problem of this country. We’re better off not showcasing our technology, but there is def fear mongering created by showing the “hypersonic missle tests!!!” blah blah blah.
I believe they have something capable that aligns with these beliefs. I also want to believe we’re ready!!

For the millionth time, Russia spends 7% of what we do on their military. Even allowing for the fact that our politicians steal half, we would be spending 7 times the amount Russia does. We would beat Russia almost as badly as we beat Sadaam.

Will you be in uniform and in the middle of it? Easy to tell someone else to go get shot at.

What was the war we just got out of?

Our troops are still as dominant as ever. Just waiting on Brando now.
