<2022-09-10T16:48:42.000Z> SRDF: Between you and me.There's this military software I've operated for the past three years and I'll tell you there's some very sus options sets of assets and guidances within that system.
<2022-09-10T17:05:04.000Z> Gerfand: lol
<2022-09-10T17:05:11.000Z> Gerfand: I don't really know anything about that tho
<2022-09-10T17:05:33.000Z> Gerfand: I am just some ignorant guy, that said yeah, its based on assumptions most of times.
<2022-09-10T17:06:10.000Z> SRDF: Yeah, most of the army doesn't either.I used to be in field artillery and I've operated the systems and coding of the cannons and launchers.
<2022-09-10T17:10:05.000Z> Gerfand: oh
<2022-09-10T17:10:47.000Z> Gerfand: honestly something NATO doesn't get it, but a fucking youtuber that likes stomp mecha board games does is that warfare will remain basically the same for years
<2022-09-10T17:10:59.000Z> Gerfand: and only gradually change
<2022-09-10T17:11:53.000Z> Gerfand: US "we use Air power instead of arty" is something that only applies to money nation that is US, but even then they still require arty, and its why they were looking into Super Tucanos, but now choose an militarized agricututre plane for a "cheap bomb carry"
<2022-09-10T17:14:52.000Z> SRDF: Not exactly in the same, but incentives and reasonings have only slightly changes for the past few decades. Right now the DoD is looking into establishing a doctrine called "mosaic warfare."Essentially most are being in the waste of resources than human lives. Which sounds weird until you think about how much a human life especially in the military. 
<2022-09-10T17:16:45.000Z> Gerfand: yes this is a smart thing to do https://i.poastcdn.org/b5827f9914a2d34f6c0a5071ee1ccf2a4fb6637006cbb8beebeac9e7617ccedb.png
<2022-09-10T17:17:05.000Z> Gerfand: you can make a bomb, a shell or whatever in a day, not a soldier
<2022-09-10T17:17:26.000Z> Gerfand: even expensive tanks are easy to build compared to raising a kid into a soldier
<2022-09-10T17:17:29.000Z> SRDF: However, in my opinion, the US Army is the worse shape it has ever been at in it's entire existence considering the other powerful nations of the world.The Army has an incoming debt and another dead soldier is nearly a million dollars wasted.
<2022-09-10T17:17:43.000Z> Gerfand: yeah...
<2022-09-10T17:17:46.000Z> SRDF: I mean, if I die right now. You know how much the army wasted?
<2022-09-10T17:17:56.000Z> Gerfand: no idea
<2022-09-10T17:18:45.000Z> Gerfand: I agree tho, having your soldier that you sometimes will require to be used as cannon folder being super expensive is bad, (specially when you need to calculate the losses being high in some cases)
<2022-09-10T17:20:27.000Z> SRDF: It costed 50k to get me through basic and ait.Then costed 150k for me to be in the installation every year for the past three years. It costed maybe 250k to deploy me.It costed maybe 10k to get me to and feed me at the NTC in California, and probably 15k for the one in the Fort Polk.If I die? That would be nearly 200k for my family.
<2022-09-10T17:21:22.000Z> Gerfand: yeah...
<2022-09-10T17:21:27.000Z> Gerfand: we have this problem here as well
<2022-09-10T17:21:33.000Z> Gerfand: and we use a conscription based army
<2022-09-10T17:21:41.000Z> Gerfand: have this modest budget for the nation
<2022-09-10T17:22:10.000Z> Gerfand: I dunno the numbers because I'm not in the military, but if I said we have 40% of the budget in pensions, that would not be far off
<2022-09-10T17:22:25.000Z> SRDF: Yup, and the army right now is going through an identity crisis and you have the old v. new army people still around for the makeup of the institution banging heads on efficient doctrine and identity.
<2022-09-10T17:22:26.000Z> Gerfand: meanwhile our equipment is 60s tanks
<2022-09-10T17:22:43.000Z> Gerfand: as in the 60s (not 60 the number)... 
<2022-09-10T17:23:06.000Z> Gerfand: yeah, and they also with a recruitment crisis from the gay shit...
<2022-09-10T17:23:20.000Z> SRDF: Dude, tell me about it
<2022-09-10T17:23:36.000Z> SRDF: I can't remember how much secret backlash came from that 
<2022-09-10T17:23:57.000Z> Gerfand: but like we have no budget to new equipment development or procurement here because of the pensions... for woman that are working and married but were son of some military dude from the 70s
<2022-09-10T17:24:01.000Z> Gerfand: yeah
<2022-09-10T17:24:04.000Z> SRDF: I still have the group chats I was in sharing the Russian Recruitment videos in envy 
<2022-09-10T17:26:31.000Z> SRDF: Well, I think it's a good reason I'm getting out and for the reason I can.I was diagnosed with Adjustment Disorder and was told I would be unable to perform my regular duties so they ripped up my contract. Which honestly, is a fucking god send, because I'd have 4 years of inactive duty and could be called in for anything.  I don't want to be involved in this shit and thank god I have a flag for it.For anyone else? I hope you practiced your facing movements
<2022-09-10T17:35:07.000Z> Gerfand: yeah
<2022-09-10T17:35:24.000Z> Gerfand: well good for you, pray that nothing bad happens 
<2022-09-10T17:42:50.000Z> SRDF: Oh I'm moving to the plains and away from the cities. I want nothing to do with this country anymore then I have to XD
<2022-09-10T17:43:25.000Z> SRDF: The army has made me more populist than nationalist.
<2022-09-10T17:45:09.000Z> Gerfand: honestly all the US needs now is Soldiers that support a General more than the nation.
<2022-09-10T17:45:24.000Z> SRDF: Oh hell no dude
<2022-09-10T17:45:30.000Z> SRDF: They're fucking bad as well
<2022-09-10T17:46:58.000Z> SRDF: Opportunistic cunts who care nothing more then the prestige of losing more wars than winning.We have zero of those ideal men of steel.
<2022-09-10T17:47:48.000Z> Gerfand: yes, I see why that would not happen
<2022-09-10T17:47:53.000Z> SRDF: Look up the email that was send to sailors, soldiers, marines, and airman when Biden won the election.
<2022-09-10T17:48:03.000Z> Gerfand: oh need to do that
<2022-09-10T17:48:08.000Z> Gerfand: honestly last based US general was McArthur
<2022-09-10T17:48:16.000Z> Gerfand: and he wasn't even the most based
<2022-09-10T17:48:19.000Z> SRDF: They're entwined with this shit 
<2022-09-10T17:48:36.000Z> SRDF: Yup, that would be the realist nigga Patton my guy
<2022-09-10T17:49:06.000Z> SRDF: Then again, you want to know the most based thing MacArthur wanted to do?
<2022-09-10T17:49:25.000Z> Gerfand: Nuke everything
<2022-09-10T17:49:35.000Z> Gerfand: okay what was it?
<2022-09-10T17:50:00.000Z> Gerfand: (I like how he wanted to nuke Corea don't know much else tho)
<2022-09-10T17:50:20.000Z> SRDF: Yup
<2022-09-10T17:50:43.000Z> SRDF: Wanted to grow some mushrooms in the ricelands
<2022-09-10T17:51:22.000Z> SRDF: However, it would've been a bad idea, maybe?
<2022-09-10T17:52:02.000Z> SRDF: I guess it's from perspective and optics, but if it happened.The USSR in response would've nuked some places in Africa.
<2022-09-10T17:52:09.000Z> Gerfand: lol
<2022-09-10T17:52:23.000Z> Gerfand: Honestly it would actually start the nuclear army program for both nations
<2022-09-10T17:52:54.000Z> Gerfand: kinda better that it didn't happened, but then again, was Germany worth saving after WW2? a nation that can't even save themselves?
<2022-09-10T17:53:00.000Z> SRDF: Yeah, and would've used the Davy Crocket...Missed opportunism...  
<2022-09-10T17:53:09.000Z> Gerfand: if you go to Germany and mention the Holocaust today you can get money over it
<2022-09-10T17:53:18.000Z> Gerfand: funny how POLAND was trying to gib Germany recently
<2022-09-10T17:53:28.000Z> Gerfand: 1 Trillion Euros or something
<2022-09-10T17:53:41.000Z> SRDF: Yup, Germany has to give them it and you know why?
<2022-09-10T17:55:09.000Z> SRDF: It was one of the reasons they even joined the EU as a compromise XD.When Poland closed it's borders to rapefugees, Germany got pissy about it and in response Poland told them "reparations now, bitch." 
<2022-09-10T18:01:48.000Z> Gerfand: yeah
