    Those are nice fit looking girls.
    Why did they have to wear gas masks though?

    Meanwhile, in Taiwan

    Speaking of masks...
    Taiwanese government introduces terrifying Special Forces clone army

    MikeMike 9 hours ago


    Taiwanese Special Forces and a select few other military units recently received updated bulletproof armor that includes a ballistic face mask that serves to protect operators from lethal headshots and to reduce fighting effectiveness of opposing forces, seemingly by causing them to immediately curl into the fetal position and cry for their mothers. Check out one of the scariest-looking armies ever after the jump.



    The United States has also used the ballistic mask for small teams in Iraq and Afghanistan, as well as during the drug war of the 1980s. A handful of these guys approaching is likely enough to disconcert even the most hardened cartel enforcer, but an entire platoon marching in lockstep is so terrifying we assume the weapons they’re carrying are just for show.

    ▼ After all, it’s hard to hit a target that’s fleeing full-sprint in the other direction.



    Each ballistic mask is apparently rated to block close-range shots from a .44 magnum – which, if our extensive video game experience is any indication, is a hell of a weapon. It should be noted, however, that the mask distributes the impact of a bullet over a relatively small surface area, meaning a headshot, while not lethal to the mask wearer, is sure to ruin his day and probably his dating prospects for a very long time.


    Other than the obvious added protection and intimidation factor of the masks, there is one other possible explanation for the Taiwanese government issuing them: they don’t want us to realize that they’ve actually just introduced a horrifying army of supersoldier Boba Fett clones.

    Kung Fu is like a way of life

    Kung Fu IS a way of life

    504th soldier shows discipline, resiliency through martial arts

    By Sgt. Dominique M. Clarke 504th Military Intelligence Brigade Public Affairs

    Martial arts, with all of its elaborate movements, high-flying flips and kicks and Hollywood appearances often overshadows its basics. Martial arts are based more on physical and mental discipline and it takes a resilient person to deal with the high physical and mental demands required.
    Sgt. 1st Class Tearanie Hoyle, the maintenance supervisor for the 504th Military Intelligence Brigade, applies resiliency and discipline to his professional and personal lives through the experiences he has gained from practicing Kung Fu. The Fort Worth native is a first-degree black belt and has five gold medals and one silver medal, including those he earned in events at the 2016 World Star Chinese Martial Arts Competition from March 18-20 in Houston.
    “Kung Fu is like a way of life,” Hoyle said. “It takes a lifetime to be a master at one thing. The way you do Kung Fu has a lot to do with how you live life, too. If you dedicate your time to doing Kung Fu, and dedicate your time to learn the form and skill, you will apply that same discipline to everyday life.”
    Hoyle said he believes the will and discipline required to master a martial art is the same applied to work, goals, life and oneself. While the intellectual demands are intense, the physical stresses require practice and vigor.
    Kung Fu is challenging, with long periods of certain positions, interval training for strength and dexterity and thorough stretching to improve flexibility.
    Hoyle practices his martial arts at Martial Zen in nearby Killeen under the instruction of Earl Henderson, his “Sifu,” which is Chinese for “master.” Henderson has coached Kung Fu for 10 years and practiced it for 11.
    Henderson echoed Hoyle’s belief about martial arts and said it requires discipline and resiliency.
    “Kung Fu is skill obtained through hard work,” said Henderson. “It takes discipline to build skill. It takes discipline to be consistent and that’s what most people miss — consistency.”
    Much like the military rank structure, martial arts practitioners practice at graduated competition levels to earn colored belts, which essentially becomes their rank. Beginners go through five solid-colored belts, intermediates go through the same color stages with one stripe in the belt, candidate members have the same process but have two-tone belts and upon completion of the final two-tone belts, the candidate receives their black belt. Black belts go through a system of degrees.
    Hoyle said it is hard to maintain and compete in his martial arts training with constant military moves and deployments. Henderson, the “Sifu,” said that Hoyle has grown in his physical and mental abilities.
    “His awareness has improved, from self-awareness to surrounding and relationships all have grown,” Henderson said. “He has developed a better way of being resilient in situations. He looks at a situation, breaks it down to see what it really means.”
    Improving strength and range of motion are the biggest benefits of Kung Fu training, said Henderson. He has become stronger in his ligaments, tendons and smaller muscle groups.
    Henderson added that in the martial arts world, tensile strength and muscle dexterity have the potential to outlast bigger muscles.
    The two agreed that people overcome challenges through the difficulties of earning a Kung Fu black belt. They learn that overcoming the small physical and mental challenges in Kung Fu helps them to meet everyday challenges with the same strong mind set.
    Hoyle also applies these philosophies to his soldiers and at home with his family.
    His wife Ericka said his increased discipline and resiliency have affected life at home with their children as they also train and learn the qualities in Kung Fu.
    “It has helped my husband to stay focused and live a healthy life,” she said. “The positive influence he receives from his mentor has made him mature positively within himself, our relationship and with our kids.”
    As a direct impact of their father’s training, their children have also been positively affected.
    “The discipline that is being instilled in (the children) is teaching them to look toward a future goal and stay committed to reaching that goal, for instance their black belt,” said Ericka Hoyle.
    While martial arts focuses on a mixture of unarmed and armed hand–to–hand combat techniques designed to give an advantage, true martial artists do not willfully use their years of training for combative purposes, because discipline and resiliency are gained through hard work.
    Hoyle said he embodies the martial-arts saying, “To master something you have to do it 108 times. Once you master it 108 times, you do it another 108 times and repeat the process to truly master one thing.”

    Slightly OT

    Snowflake soldiers on the march! Grenadier Guards are being given kung fu classes because they're not aggressive enough
    The Grenadier Guards have been forced to take kung fu classes, it has emerged
    The Guards, who are highly ranked in the army are ‘not aggressive enough'
    Regimental Sergeant-Major Martin Howlin, of 1st Battalion Grenadier Guards, said it came after watching an exercise in Albania and 'chatting about an attack'
    By Larissa Brown For The Daily Mail
    PUBLISHED: 18:46 EST, 1 February 2018 | UPDATED: 18:47 EST, 1 February 2018

    Of all the qualities a soldier needs, you’d imagine that being a fearless hand-to-hand fighter might come top of the list.

    Worryingly, though, some British squaddies appear to have lost their killer instinct.

    In fact, the Grenadier Guards have been forced to take martial arts classes because they are ‘not aggressive enough’, it emerged last night.

    Top brass decided to call in a kung fu master to teach the troops close- quarter fighting skills after officers noticed that the intensity of combat exercises had fallen.


    The Grenadier Guards (pictured) have been forced to take martial arts classes because they are ‘not aggressive enough

    Regimental Sergeant-Major Martin Howlin, of 1st Battalion Grenadier Guards, said: ‘This all came about after the commanding officer and I went to watch an exercise in Albania.

    ‘We were chatting about an attack that we felt lacked aggression, and started discussing ways we could help the blokes improve on that and then channel it in the right way. So we looked at martial arts.

    ‘I knew a civilian instructor who has been doing this for years. He loves the military lifestyle and was the perfect man for the job.’

    A two-week trial followed and the reaction was so positive that the sessions have become a regular fixture at Lille Barracks in Aldershot, Hampshire, where the Guards are based.

    The martial arts classes are taught by civilian instructor Neil Webster, who runs the Kung Fu Tai Chi Academy in Epsom, Surrey.

    His sessions focus on developing technical skills rather than simply attacking a punching bag, and the troops have progressed from learning basic strikes and holds to thwarting a knife attacker while dressed in full combat kit.


    The Grenadier Guards are one of the most senior infantry regiments in the British Army, and its troops must be ready to deploy anywhere in the world at short notice

    Army sources said expertise was often brought in to mix up training and develop skills.

    Warrant Officer Howlin told Soldier magazine: ‘We are not doing this to enhance our capability – it is more of a mental exercise.

    ‘It is learning about how to build aggression and turn it on when needed. This training has helped to create a particularly effective battalion.’

    The Grenadier Guards are one of the most senior infantry regiments in the British Army, and its troops must be ready to deploy anywhere in the world at short notice.

    Mr Webster said he had to tailor the training he gives his civilian students to teach the soldiers effectively, adding: ‘I really had to give it some thought, and it has been a learning curve.


    Queen Elizabeth II poses with Grenadier Guards after inspecting The Queen's Company before presenting New Colours to Nijmegen Company in the gardens of Buckingham Palace in London in 2013

    ‘The end result is these guys may actually have to kill someone, and that is obviously very different. The focus has been on developing power, how to strike properly, hit hard and look for effective targets.

    ‘One of the key things is not to remain static, so we have concentrated on footwork and keeping balanced.

    ‘I’ve been getting some really nice feedback. It is fun and good for team cohesion.’ Mr Webster said the drills had also given the servicemen ‘something different to do that builds team spirit and confidence’.

    The news comes after General Sir Nick Carter, the head of the Army, was forced to defend a recent advertising campaign that was criticised for making the Armed Forces look ‘weak’ and ‘soft’ by telling potential recruits it was okay to cry.

    The Army was accused of bowing to political correctness in its £1.6million This Is Belonging 2018 campaign last month after the radio, TV and online ads focused on recruits’ anxieties and sexuality.


    The Grenadier Guards cheer Queen Elizabeth II after she presented the regiment with new colours in the garden of Buckingham Palace in 2010

    Former soldiers said the campaign to create more diversity would not appeal to traditional recruits who are the backbone of the Forces. However, an Army source said the kung fu training was not part of any perceived trend of troops losing their aggression, adding: ‘It is ridiculous to suggest they are soft.

    ‘The sergeant-major’s threshold for aggression will be a lot higher than the man on the street. He wants his troops to be super-aggressive.’

    An Army spokesman said: ‘The Grenadier Guards demand the very highest standards of their soldiers in all they do.

    ‘Close-quarters combat is an essential skill for the infantry. It requires more than just aggression, it demands strength, speed, skill and bravery.’
    I'm not sure 'snowflake' fully translates into the Queen's English from Amurikan.

    The Collins English dictionary based in Glasgow assures us the word has been assimilated into the Queen's English.
    The term "snowflake generation" was one of Collins Dictionary's 2016 words of the year. Collins defines the term as "the young adults of the 2010s, viewed as being less resilient and more prone to taking offence than previous generations".
    America is not responsible for the slow rot of Britain and Europe Culture by SJW Political Correctness. They have done that to themselves with Progressive Marxist Leftism. If anything, this disease came to America from Europe.

    This is part of the slow but certain, death of Europe by the Globalist Elites.






    Tommy Robinson: Chinese Military Recruitment Ad Puts British Army to Shame


    On a previous episode of The Tommy Robinson Show, I talked about the British Army’s new ad campaign. They launched a few campaigns that focused on showing people that it’s OK to cry in the army, and there’s nothing to fear if you’re gay…as if there was ever any kind of genuine threat against gays from the military anyway.

    This year, even more adverts from this campaign have been released – including ad campaigns focused on showing Muslims that being in the army helps their faith. It even shows members of the military pausing operations, while some bloke takes off his shoes and bows down to pray in the middle of a war zone.

    There are even adverts that show it's OK to cry in the Army!

    This isn’t right. What the hell is going on with our military?

    On today’s episode of the show, I took a look at some other examples of military recruitment campaigns from across the world. It shows just how much of a laughing stock our military is becoming.

    Why are we putting up with this?
    (BTW, washing and drinking from a bacteria ridden stream in order to pray? that soldier has become a double liability.)

    It's the transformation of European males into soyboys as a means of "de-nationalizing" countries for Globalist ambitions. Canadian PM Justin Trudeau who is spectacular at crying on live TV promotes the same process in Canada eg "If you kill your enemies, they win".

    Kill, Kill, Killl

    In contrast to the new British Armed Forces PC "Sensitivity" Tone British the PLA Recruitment Video holds back no punches.

    Name:  china military.jpg

    BEIJING — China is hoping that rap and rhymes will help recruit more young men to the world’s largest standing army.

    A hip-hop beat backs lyrics like "Kill! Kill! Kill" in an action-packed video released by China's People's Liberation Army (PLA). The slick production has racked up nearly 100,000 comments on China's Twitter-like service, Weibo, since being posted on the army newspaper’s website Thursday.

    The lyrics “hide neither combativeness nor a desire to fight,” China Daily newspaper noted dryly in a story on the piece on Tuesday.

    The video does not shy away from the gruesome, and starts with references to being shot in the chest.

    “Roar with animal spirit, from the center to the border. Let’s go to war, let’s fight to win!” a staccato voice says on the track, spitting rhymes punctuated by baritone roars and cheers.

    Images of China’s most modern weaponry — such as aircraft carriers, ballistic missiles, stealth jet fighters and spaceships — run with the tough talk, along with plenty of battle scenes and a plethora of soldiers, marines and airmen.

    The idea is to show “the PLA as modernized as the United States military,” the China Daily quoted a military spokesperson as saying, adding that young people are avoiding service in the country's 2.3-million-strong military.

    This is why Matt Best should produce all of the US's Military Recruitment Vids!

    Contrast the Brits stupid, hear my voice, political, nonsensical, SJW, bullsh*t with this video:



    Which inspires a person more? - the Brit SJW bullsh*t that infantilizes women,
    or Matt's which inspires and empowers everyone to do their best.

    Well alright then

    Here's more on Neil Webster and the Grenadier Guards.

    From Webster's school website.


    The Grenadier Guards is one of the oldest regiments in the British Army and the most senior of the five Regiments of Foot Guards. The Regiment has been involved in some of the most intense combat in recent years, having seen active service in both Iraq (2006) and Afghanistan (2007, 2009-10 and 2012).

    Since 2012, the 1st Battalion has been performing State Ceremonial and Public Duties in London as well as carrying out numerous field training exercises. It is starting to train for a leading operational role in 2017 as the lead battlegroup of the NATO Very High Readiness Joint Task Force.

    Neil has the great honour of currently providing hand-to-hand combat training for the Grenadier Guards

    They really shouldn't bag on the Brits.

    Because really, there are 3 superior military organizations in the world.
    And one of them is British.

    They are:

    JTF2 - Canada
    Delta - USA
    SAS - UK

    Go ahead, argue against this. lol There really are no better special forces anywhere.
    Yes, there are other units, but really these are the best.
    Also, it's never been admitted that Delta exists. Which is another thing... lol
    So there.
