What is your military famous for?

[Drakonaj]

Where 20% of the forces are comprised of foreign born children or volunteers from other nations. They fight with passion to defend against Reactionaries and assaults against The People

[Tyr-risuur]

High tech and high quality troops (particularly the special forces) but lower numbers.

[Hurtful Thoughts]

Bullshit.

Because I have two cows, and a bull.

Our other policy of "We will win because we will. There is no argument, for we have already won."

"War is never absolute." -Clausewitz

"You just lost the game!" -4chan

[Techno-Soviet]

Bullshit.

"War is never absolute." -Clausewitz

"You just lost the game!" -4chan

Sounds like that New Garzah fellow is awfully cocky. Allow me to add a couple more quotes to that list:

"Before doing battle, in the temple one calculates and will win, because many calculations were made; before doing battle, in the temple one calculates and will not win, because few calculations were made (...)" - Sun Tzu

"One who does not know the enemy and does not know himself will be in danger in every battle." - Sun Tzu

In fact, those quotes could apply to almost everyone in this thread.

[Strathy]

Efficieny, equiptment, discipline and above all, brutality and never giving up.

[Dagnia]

Its ability to scramble an ad hoc volunteer force together with little funding and still manage to save Dagnia, and give the enemy an atrocity they will be remembering for centuries.

[Seculartopia]

Having next to no funds.

[Hurtful Thoughts]

Bullshit.

Normally, I'd tell Sun Tzu to go take his poorly translated sage riddles elsewhere.

The explanation of those quotes gets more to the meat of the matter than the quotes themselves, and therefore, makes for a poor summary of the art of war.

"There is much evidence to show that officers who have received the best peacetime training available find themselves surprised and confused by the difference between conditions as pictured in map problems and those they encounter in campaign. This is largely because our peacetime training in tactics tends to become increasingly theoretical. In our schools we generally assume that organizations are well-trained and at full strength, that subordinates are competent, that supply arrangements function, that communications work, that orders are carried out. In war many or all of these conditions may be absent. The veteran knows that this is normal and his mental processes are not paralyzed by it. He knows that he must carry on in spite of seemingly insurmountable difficulties and regardless of the fact that the tools with which he has to work may be imperfect and worn. Moreover, he knows how to go about it."
----
The art of war has no traffic with rules, for the infinitely varied circumstances and conditions of combat never produce exactly the same situation twice. Mission, terrain, weather, dispositions, armament, morale, supply, and comparative strength are variables whose mutations always combine to form anew tactical pattern. Thus, in battle, each situation is unique and must be solved on its own merits.

It follows, then, that the leader who would become a competent tactician must first close his mind to the alluring formulae that well-meaning people offer in the name of victory. To master his difficult art he must learn to cut to the heart of a situation, recognize its decisive elements and base his course of action on these. The ability to do this is not God-given, nor can it be acquired overnight; it is a process of years. He must realize that training in solving problems of all types, long practice in making clear, unequivocal decisions, the habit of concentrating on the question at hand, and an elasticity of mind, are indispensable requisites for the successful practice of the art of war.

The leader who frantically strives to remember what someone else did in some slightly similar situation has already set his feet on a well-traveled road to ruin."

[St Star]

[Early era]
Known for being extremely resourceful/ use of gliders & primitive bomber

[Middle era]
Air superiority tactics.

[Late era]
Star navy using "super capital" classes and Neurological interfacing. Saint star is among the smallest star Empires but one of the most advanced and Military powerful, despite being relatively peaceful

[Old Beringia]

being totally badass

Badassery, weapons, weapons, manliness, and weapons.

Nice to know your soldiers will try to rambo their way through a battle.

[Joyous Zeltros]

The Zeltros Defense Force is known for not leaving Zeltros, for being only volunteers, and for incredibly garish body armour in so many different colours that it can't really be called a uniform.

[- Marwin]

For being really...really...tiny.

[- Marwin]

The Zeltros Defense Force is known for not leaving Zeltros, for being only volunteers, and for incredibly garish body armour in so many different colours that it can't really be called a uniform.

It is said that the only time a Nicksyllvanian soldier ever cries is when he witness's a Zeltros military parade and their outrageously terrible sense of style.

Zeltros military what now? They do not strike me as the parading type. Maybe the orgy-in-public type, but not the parading type.

And anything is superior to those damn mustaches of yours.

[- Marwin]

I sense mustache envy

I like light mustaches...and sideburns. They're sexy.

It's only a saying, it's blatently obvious a Nicksyllvanian man never cries, even at his parents funeral.

Then he is a gormless girly-man.

Pres. Veronika Dahlberg

P.S. That's right. I went there.

[Jbeil]

The Jbeili military is famous for it's strong ground forces,it's ruthless training,it's general ruthlessness against enemies of the union and most importantly it's complete neutrality in international conflicts.

[The Banshee species]

Useing wepoens that look like they were stolen from the Warhammer 40K game. And work like it.

[The shee species]

Useing wepoens that look like they were stolen from the Warhammer 40K game. And work like it.

You mean they suck your souls away?

[North Amerikan States]

The sturmtruben "crusher unit" (25 men) killed 5000 enemy soldiers in one afternoon. It took only 2876 rounds exactly. The rest were cut down, beaten to death or somehow killed by their own allies. 14 of the crusher unit were near dead and all critically wounded by the end but miraculously there were no confederate casualties. This was an amazing feat and showed the sturmtruben were truly the super soldiers their gear, training, and genetic modifications made them to be.

[Letat]

The unique system of democratic military governance, where soldiers elect officers and vote for missions.

[West Estainia]

Retaining Battleships

This among other things; mostly being so honor bound to tradition it's nearly led to our annihilation on more than one occasion.

So your saying you're also famous for battleships...

Well spotted. We're not so good at that whole 'parade' thing.

And these are a sample of the not-uniforms we mean; every member gets to customise theirs so you can have countless combinations all gathered together.

Do they glow in the dark too? That should save bundles of cash on torch batteries.

Sometimes, yes. Glow-in-the-dark paint is optional.

[Imeriata]

I guess being the Imerian royal guard? Otherwise have the royal guard done not much worth noticing that could be counted as something out of the ordinary.
