Intelligence, without it, the military mind as well be a pitting their units in a gladiator arena, and that's where they'll die to do shit all. The past is over though. They either need to make dedicated interventions or keep letting them die. All this 9/11, whether we know what happened or not. Its already done and moving on is important. I personally think inner circles of goat fucker sympathisers within intelligence communities helped get the biggest known calibre ever used to kill people and crashed it straight into the twin towers.
And that's when spec ops recruits will be in demand, they keep dying though so we need even more recruits.
And of course while that vehicle manufacturer brand is jerking off to Saudi arabia vs houthis conflict, U.S leeching off Saudi Arabian money. Its like learned helplessness, a lack of inherent conviction and improvement.
The houthi sandal warriors blowing up the hyped up MRAP. I've seen the combined marksmanship of a Saudi Arabian squadron equivelent to a 20 year old american with a 5 day pro training course. Americans wont be able to teach shit to the middle east, it'll take a couple generations before they do when education starts to function in war torn area, the length of time they spent in the deserts brings serious feelings of impersonal anonymity among locals.
That's why when such a straightforward no bullshit nation like Russian uses Syria as a type of proving ground for their military tech and experience, whose horizons isn't so convoluted from financial gain to policing the locals. The green berets whose personalities are probably the best group of guys for this conflict. But still not enough of those guys. Those squads of vigilant marines who gives no fuck about goat herders except themselves are there more as meat shields until other priorities are done.
Now here's a bit of Russian ball sucking. Of course the russians can rehabilitate and reform a incompetent force into effective soldiers who mow down ISIS, they are fresh as fuck and come with conviction of a Stalin ballsack. Plus U.S is more of a fire blanket than a water hose. The UKSOF who trained a generation of guys, who then trained more guys into the most effecient combatants in movement and weapon manipulation, the ST6 dressed up in the NSWDG, then everybody copy pasted that shit on the cranium.
Fire blankets don't put out fires but they can somewhat control a circumstance until the firemen arrive. U.S despite trying to be perceived as a world leader, their role in warfare isisnteccesarily changed for the last hundred years.
And the firemen are either the locals or russians. Have you seen the russian recon dudes killing Isis guys? They are fresh as fuck 2×. In their tactics, Russians are some of the most well timed ambushers and coordinated killers i've ever seen. Individually, not as refined or sophisticated as the western counterparts in direct action, but they don't need to be martial art ballerinas like connor McGregor who touch things to death.
The sheer hardcoreness and the quantity of that hardcore soldiers in Russia is good enough to makes up for lack of world class skills. If you want hardcore will whose brains tick like a million dollar watch, with world class skills, you don't ask Americans. You go ask a couple European masterpieces. They specifically had Russian soldiers linked with to Arabic nationality so Russians can speak to them, unlike getting a translator off the locals. That's why its valued that specfor dudes speak the inhabitant directly.
