How to improve the miltary?

Postby Teh BBQ » Thu Sep 27, 2012 4:44 am

As I stated before, I believe we should increase miltary spending. But the point of this thread is to discuss how we can improve the miltary to fight off the terrosists. My suggestion is we force all school failures into the miltary. Leave your ideas here.

If you spell it 'Teh' and think that people who can't achieve a basic level of education should be given automatic weapons and high explosives and put in charge of very expensive military equipment, you may just be a school failure.

There's nothing wrong with the military, or at least not in the way you think it is. The terrorists ar edifficult to defeat because geurilla (I know, I probably misspelled that) warfare is always effective against a standard army.

And why the hell should we increase military spending? :blink: We already spend like.... $1 trillion?

Forcing people who have failed academically to fight in wars against there will, hmmm? Doesn't that strike you as incredibly hypocritical since your always on about some non-specific freedom.

This. the way to destroy the terrorists is to have education, secularism, and democracy spread.
And the military can help with this, as well as using them to target training camps. But we can't stop lone-wolves, only reduce their recruitment pool.

There is an out of control trolley speeding towards Jeremy Bentham, who is tied to the track. You can pull the lever to cause the trolley to switch tracks, but on the other track is Immanuel Kant. Bentham is clutching the only copy in the universe of The Critique of Pure Reason. Kant is clutching the only copy in the universe of The Principles of Moral Legislation. Both men are shouting at you that they have recently started to reconsider their ethical stances.

If thats the case, we should nuke the terrosists, we need to increase spending so we can properly fund enough nukes to flush all the terrosists out.

I was wondering whether it really was a good idea to fill our military with the dumbest/laziest/least competent and give them access to an incredible variety of powerful and destructive weapons.

Putting aside the fact that this is a disastrous idea of epic proportions, you can't just nuke terrorists, the bomb's effect is WAY too big (think Hiroshima and Nagasaki).

I don't know how to improve the US military because, frankly, they are the best in the world whether or not you like to admit it.

So I'll talk about how to improve New Zealand's military, a subject I'm a bit more familiar with:

Step One: Actually have a military
Step Two: Actually have bullets for our guns (instead of having one blank in training exercises, and then yelling "bang" - this is a true story).
Step Three: Actually send our troops into battle with armoured personnel carriers, and weapons that were made in the post WW2 era.
Step Four: Screw that, actually, let's just declare ourselves a fully neutral country and use the fact that no one can find us on a map as our main defence.

I didn't get the memo. Oh well, what done is done. Obviously voicing your opinion isn't allowed anymore. How sad.

Launch one nuke and the vast majority of the US will be reduced to a Fallout-esque wasteland. Besides which, you don't need more nukes. You've already got thousands.

Casualties caused by accident and friendly fire would skyrocket. Ditches would be littered with wrecked tanks and hummvees. Choppers would be raining from the sky, if they could be lifted off in the first place.

No. The rule is just that, if you think someone is trolling, go and report it, rather than "trollnaming."

The rule is basically this: just shut up and report it.
