Re: Godammed SDN

Are they still going with "sw has better medical technology and replicators aren't that useful"?

Its just kind of a wtf if your there to keep the peace but your basicly relying on the good will of the participants.

Re: ATTN: ARTEMAS

Yup. And no one ever notices that if the Turks hadn't just stopped the invasion on their own that the whole island would have been overrun.

Cause there was no way for the UN to stop them.

Re: ATTN: ARTEMAS

I think I mentioned before that my father was in Cyprus in 72/73 and the Turks gunned down his buddy right in front of him and he couldn't do anything, by the time he would have got his mag out and C1 loaded they would have shot him as well.

That's peacekeeping.

Re: ATTN: ARTEMAS

Well there was a good few decades where people in Canada thought that peacekeeping was all peaceful and quiet. Rather then a combination of low level hostilities, constant tension and outright combat. I've heard a number of times that is was worse for guys on UN ops because half the time you couldn'...

Maybe there for psychological purposes only. Doesn't the pilot wear a helmet that plugs into his brain anyways?

Re: ATTN: ARTEMAS

Well America doesn't like having other people tell it's troops what to do and while they do the humanitarian thing occasionally, it seems to be the Navy doing the work.

Pfft! Space Marines take cover all the time in the books.

But I guess the tech to make a stereoscopic rangefinder is lost in BTech as well?

Re: Godammed SDN

Well had the Airborne remained it would have filled CSOR's role but whether they would have been any better at the start is anyones guess. They were basically the RDF for the Arctic and Norway. For the CF it's been a boon and a curse, lots of experience, new kit but now we'll have decades of problem...

Re: Godammed SDN

I know that at a certain point, all the guys who participated in Afghanistan will be out, and with them the first hand knowledge of what to do will go with them. Now they'll have passed it on but it'll get diluted over time as people add in shit they think will help. Eventually all you'll have is a ...

Re: Godammed SDN

yeah pretty much I was talking to an ex-general in the Aus Army who graduated Duntroon in 75 and he made the point that it was, at that stage, an Asian army. We'd had multiple battalions deployed overseas almost continiously in Malaya and Vietnam (and Korea, I guess) for 25+ years. Over the course ...

Re-org?

That's what we used to call it.

But you know, if they would keep the book they write after each one of these things around, we might not be playing catch up everytime.

Re: Godammed SDN

You know, I don't think it's that the tactics are ineffective at killing the insurgents, it's that we always lack a plan to win over the populace. That's more of Foreign Affairs bag then DND.
