"Jon, you really aren't getting this are you?"
* Good point.
"We told you if you don't do it for real, it isn't going to work when it has to."
* That is a rubbish, 'isnt going to work' apperently you know the outcome of every situation before it begins. No point arguing with someone who has already made up there mind.
"Your response was to ask if our military trains "for real" and my answer was "YES""
* I never asked this question, reread my posts. I stated there are certain things they CANT train for real for very obvious reasons.
"And once again, YES, you are incorrect on a number of issues."
* Would not be the first time.
"Whatever symantic issues you want to play, the reality is that the military does train for real, and even if you don't know about it doesn't make it not so. My guess, you don't know thing #1 about real military training."
* There is no point continuing on down this line as your trying to make an case for me which ive never tried to put forward. Im no expert on the military and have never pretended to be.
"From a military point of view, learning that your force is useless and is going to get killed is better learned in training than in combat."
* No arguement here, what the heck are you telling me this for? Did i ever try to state that training was un nessersary?
"Tough issue for many to understand or accept, but from a military training and planning point of view, better a few dead in BT than a lot dead in action. Argue with me if you want, it's true, just deal with it"
* Ive never argued the point of training, ill happily argue the idea that they deliberately put there soldiers in 'training' in situations where death is probable.
"How the Soviet Union trained its forces in no "fairy tale" no matter what you want to believe. YOu can call it stupid, but let's remember that you are NOT in charge of an advanced sophisticated military force now are you?"
* Yeah i stand corrected, forcing your soldiers to fight prisoners is a top training method. It must be so becouse it was used by the Soviets...
"As for your last question, perhaps I should ask if you are aware there is no longer a Soviet Union?"
* Yes all that millitary expertise really paid off didnt it.
Now im going to work while my dog of 12 years gets put down by my parents, as such im not posting again and couldnt give a monkeys ass what else you wish to try and insinuate.
Have a nice day i know i wont be...
Up and down, forward and backward, left and right, its all the same. All of this is done with the mind, not externaly.
