What is YN's average soldier's view of AN's soldiers?

Postby Folkvanger » Fri Oct 11, 2024 3:21 pm

The Germans thought the Brits were honorable in WWII while the Japanese feared the American Marines and thought they were man-eating cannibals, what would be YN's average soldier's view of AN's troops? Would they be honorable or consider them a group of weaklings?

Furrensweig, a nation with a history of conflict, vowed to avoid war after a devastating conflict a century ago, their "second chance". Now, with rising tensions and the threat of nuclear war between other nations, Furrensweig must act to keep the peace and break their vow or face destruction.

we treat them with dignity and respect.
In Great Furrihon, we honor the enemies as well. treating them as friendly competition. This is no exception.
we've even gave the Divine Warrior role to some states that Furrihon would consider "unfriendly" (Rwanda, German Marxist Republic, Republic of the Sahara, ect...)
if the soldiers are not the enemies, it's still the same :P

I see the average Rumeian soldier as being legitimately baffled by the mere existence of Furrihon, let alone the fact that it's trying to fight them. The intense focus on martial masculinity/martial femininity and the, uh, deeply unpleasant fascist vibes of Rumei's social values would probably just result in the average Legionary being legitimately disgusted by Furrihon's soldiers and the country as a whole.

Probably the average Gameran Space Force soldier would just try to escape, we JUST started the Gameran Space program, and there's a fucking galaxy-spanning empire of strange creatures we've never seen that are just as smart as us with stronger technology and fucking magic, even if ponies being the main species of Land of Friendship (neighbouring country in Galatolia) is canon, that would still be:
Friendshipian Magic (which would only be usable by Friendshipian Volunteers of Unicorn descent): shooting a beam that'll zap someone
Rumeian Magic: horrors beyond Gameran comprehension
Even if we made it to the point of an invasion, considering every single citizen has to own a weapon and mandatory conscription, we'd probably just get Militia'd to death

Opinion of Reaper Squadron - Horrified; <0.01%

Remarks:

Analysis by the Commonwealth Security Bureau indicates that the Reaper Squadron's training and hardware is analogous to the SPAKAM-regime of the Armed Forces of the Commonwealth which puts them, man-for-man, on par with some of our most prestigious Spetsnaz operatives in the Ground Forces. We note however a distinct absence of the most rudimentary protocols of discipline among their ranks - the lack of uniform, for example, and noting some personality quirks that would undoubtedly be drilled out of a Commonwealth soldier through severe PT administration by a Drill Commissar. We additionally note from an intelligence report issued by Major Tamara Abdulkerimova that some operatives convicted of major indictable offences are still permitted to serve amongst regular forces; we do not deem this of sufficient importance to make public knowledge, but will submit a classified report to the Criminal Investigations Department of the Military Intelligence Directorate, should any international arrest warrants come to our attention in the future.

From a general poll conducted amongst the 11th Guards Airborne Division by NAVINYba, it is believed that the average Commonwealth soldier looks upon the Reaper Squadron with supreme distaste. All prisoners of war will be screened and, where applicable, referred to the Ministry for Child Protection.

"I have been writing in to the armory every other day saying we should have those automatic weapons. I mean look at how fast those things reload! But everyday I get the same response. We don't have the infrastructure, we don't have the technology. It's ridiculous. You're telling me we can make Blitzforts, but a magazine is too much to ask for? Anyway at least the Batakhovians know how to be good soliders. They are discipled and trained, and they won't run and hide at the first sign of trouble like those Order cowards. I am glad we are not at war with them, it would probably be a real headache to deal with."

Well, they kind of make me thoughtful on two fronts... On one hand, they sound quite terrifying, even as a soldier myself. These guys can throw you around, turn you into a soccer ball, or just run and cut your stomach up away... it feels scary to face them at once or so. Just a handful of iron people full of berserkers, knights and assassins. Perhaps I'm lucky that we never face them full force or we might have a lot of trouble on our hands. On the other hand, I could see adapting some of our skills to our hands or so that might help us down the road when we have to fight. We might learn how they become agile, either through equipment and training and if we can modify our tactics and training, and our resolve to help us be better when we fight. Their hit and run tactics and swooping in to slay their foes might be something that might be beneficial or nice for us when we have to go to war. Perhaps we could harness what makes them so mighty and terrifying...

There is a mix of respect and curiosity. Given Diarcesia's focus on trying to project defensive strength and innovating technologically, they see Cascadian soldiers as skilled but potentially lacking in comparable technological advancements.

However, there could be an appreciation for their large numbers (in terms of personnel) and diverse range of capabilities across different types within their armed forces. The motto "Freedom is the right of all sentient beings" may resonate with Diarcesians who value liberty as well.

Overall, while some might consider them 'weaklings' due to possible differences in technology or military structure preferences; others would find honor among these ranks based on shared beliefs about freedom coupled alongside impressive troop numbers able to effectively accomplish tasks both great and small alike.

"It seems, that they are somewhat less aggressive than we are and prefere defense to offense. But that doesn't mean, they ain't relentless. These dudes are, and ya' don't wanna fuck with them! I mean, they also employ cunning and psychological warfare, a bit different than our's, but pretty nasty. And they calculate how to escalate things, so the enemy won't like continuing the battle even a bit. And given the doctrine of Diarcesia... if ya' see it's soldiers, then this is a bad omen.
