Right Wing Discussion Thread XI: It's Okay To Be Right

[Thermodolia]

Standing armies can also save lives by protecting the homeland from invasion

You don't need standing armies for that

Right because you’ll just train up some soldiers in a few days to repell any invasion. Like that will work. Let me tell you something the real world isn’t something the real world ain’t some HOI4 game

[Thermodolia]

Standing armies can save lives. Just ask the inmates of Bergen Belsen in 1945.

I think standing armies had nothing to do with that, since you can still raise armies in time of need. Standing armies did make fascism possible though

Not effectively. Not in this day and age. This isn’t the 1800’s anymore. We need a standing army because people are less likely to fight now than they where 100 years ago. The times have changed and your ideology is stuck in the long dead past

Guerilla militias are shockingly effective, and in this country I am positive no one could conquer us.

People are less likely to fight bullshit wars. They will fight for good reason tho

Actually even in HOI4 a division that is hastily deployed might be so under-equipped and undermanned that while it might be in the field it's functionally useless.

Guerilla warfare is only really effective in combination with other standing forces, and you'd be wrong on the latter point.

[Salus Maior]

Neither.

Moses wants the Pharaoh to let the Jews leave Egypt to go to...an Egyptian province.

That's not an unusual concept historically speaking. Many barbarian tribals fought Rome so that they could have a chunk of territory within Imperial boundaries. Like the Goths.

Historically speaking it's not unusual no, theologically speaking it's still kind of odd since Egypt was portrayed as the land of decadence and slavery and God's Chosen People were on a mission to escape it.

[Genivaria]

I feel I should point out that contrary to popular belief the single greatest obstacle for anyone planning to occupy the continental United States is not American gun owners, it is the Pacific and Atlantic Oceans and the motherfucking United States Navy.

No country could occupy us, it would be unbearable. We don't need standing armies. We have national guard (which includes armored units and special forces).

Generally they fought from the outside going in, or fought defensively, not on a mission to some far-off province.

Judea was not a developed Egyptian culture center, not like the Nile. They had hegemony over it for a time, sure, that doesn't make it Egyptian in a profound cultural/developmental sense.

I'd rather sink their ships from afar then have to fight on our own ground and watch our cities burn for your romantic delusions.

Not really. Egypt was heathen, but other heathens and actually the Jews themselves were portrayed as more depraved. Jews were in bondage and ordered by God to settle a specific place, but they complain bitterly many times and say they would rather have stayed in Egypt

You can still have a navy without a standing army, pal

No as in the majority of the US is physically unfit to fight

That's why we can't ever let the Russians/Chinese take Alaska or we'll never dislodge them.

The national guard is a standing army. I don’t know what you have been smoking lately but god damn dude lay off it

[Albrenia]

The US is too powerful to invade and occupy anyway, even without the NRA folks and the nukes and reserves. Unfortunately none of it will save us when the inhabitants of Nibaru exterminate us in the coming war and all.

Or something.

I don't know, you can't really oppress the people and coup governments when all your resources are stuck to the ocean.

Not that I'm agreeing with Parkus on the whole standing army thing.
