I'm curious what others' thoughts are on this:
It's recently crossed my mind that the US special forces have the backing of the most wealthy tax base in the world providing them with nutritious food produced from modern sports science studies, the most technologically advanced weaponry and transportation in existence, clothing appropriate to their environment, new shoes every time they get worn out, air strikes, artillery strikes, intelligence, the best training from professional military institutions, etc.
Meanwhile, ISIS and other terrorist fighters have managed to not only not get wiped out for going on twenty years now by the most powerful military in the world, but also the help of other militarily powerful allies, but they've also at times gained ground and taken some cities.
The thing that's on my mind is that when you are operating without the support of a huge tax base and military industrial complex, you don't have a professional military institution for training, you have to improvise weapons and transportation, and do all of that in order to fight the most powerful military in the world, those are not easy things to do, and you'd have to have some courage to face the possibility that what you are doing could get you killed.
Now I know there's the issue of the morality of what they are fighting for, I'm not making an argument for that. All I'm saying is to face such an overwhelmingly difficult military situation and manage to survive and occasionally make advances and take some cities over the course of twenty years, you'd have to be skilled and effective at solving problems in terms of keeping your forces fed and equipped without a standardized industrial system that takes care of that for you. You'd have to come up with really unconventional methods out of necessity in order to operate.
​
It's crossed my mind that even our special forces are spoon fed all the support they could possibly ever need to complete their missions, and they get a lot of accolades for how great soldiers they are. I really think it's more impressive in a strictly military sense to be able to operate and have some success in the absence of all of that, having to constantly find ways to improvise and stay fed and keep shoes on your feet, let alone ensure you can communicate, have fuel and ammunition, and then coordinate any kind of operations. That's a difficult task.
Basically what I'm asking, does anyone else share the viewpoint that military competency is tested to a greater extent in the absence of a large organized support system for mobilizing, training, equipping, and arming troops? Is it not more difficult to have figure it out as you go and still be effective? Isn't there something to be gained from recognizing, acknowledging, and learning from that?

Everyone always calls Germany out for attacking Soviet Russia during WWII, but Germany did need the oil to be able to continue the war. Is there some other way that Germany could have attacked Russia to be able to get the resources they need and change the outcome of the war? | r/militarystrategy | post | r/MilitaryStrategy | 2019-03-05 | Z0FBQUFBQm5Lakx6SUVscTBmUkhwaTZIZXRIdnVJY0s3eXBPdGJCWkZScDV4QVd3WXZyd3ZFakJRdkJqUGotTWNSN1BzcnJUbTJTZTc4N3U0VUM3bDdiRm9YZ09nWERETWc9PQ== | Z0FBQUFBQm5Lak9EZzFEVE54Tm00TUhrLXpuU0R2NXJqR1hNLWdFelVETG5aTG40ZFI1QWUtUmx4d3dYSVN0YUFXMXI2S0h2cWF2NVRubkQzc2JSenNfeDdudkxmV2dneXJLQzhTQUtxcS1ZMXNTWk5lU3BFeVdDREppdUFpakZpZ0dMSGdHX2hPMFIyeDkyeVhyNllud05BSmxqcDN2XzQ5RmVvcnRWcFVNblVhRmRQOUhMeGQ4PQ== |
I have a bit of a specific question and I hope someone can help me. For my grad studies in ancient history I want to make a small comparison between ancient militaries and modern militaries.
I remember reading, somewhere and potentially a long time ago, that many modern militaries have a policy of fairly standardised and rapid promotion. This helps ensure officers get a wide range of experience in all levels and different theatres of war. They also place limits on how long a commander can be in a single high office without being on track for further promotion. If they reach this limit they are forced to leave the military rather than stay in the position.
On the other hand, dictatorships often have commanders stay in a single high office for many years, even decades. This is often observed to lead to the development of personal loyalties and factionalism within these militaries.
I just need one, preferably multiple, reliable sources to support this. Does anyone know of any modern military strategy books or articles that would discuss this concept?
Thank you in advance. | r/militarystrategy | post | r/MilitaryStrategy | 2019-03-19 | Z0FBQUFBQm5Lakx6b19ZLW9WU2QxZEhtZVRWdURCSU9FSXlaVWRJeFhSRTRFNzhCTTdQc0lsYkpnUjhCSkkxQkpmaTNYTnB3MFVlc3JLLWdFVnY5Zi1jd3Q1eWhwMVZSTGc9PQ== | Z0FBQUFBQm5Lak9EVmFYWXdBTTJUMTNpWENyakRqMlVZRXB6X01PeUdZMkhNMzM2cTdUUm5WbGJDM1BOM2JvN2F2UVliRGJDZFIydkx0TVhxb3hDenBRbGl6c242SExUdTRHM0FxR0I4d0dDNmE3Nnhqd1BTQXJETlA4aTJjQkR1YS1OeC1oOGJzUlBKSjBETzlLb25tQUJ0UngxTXAtWkhJSHliWjVYRFQ0X3l1NnF0cjFPSUpPTDRlVWVYQktlSGdiLVhKMlRKT1hpZnQ4WDRDR1p3NGFSakNxbUs1TkJDZz09 |
There are several groups with reasonably widespread chapters trying to push climate action:
* Sunrise — youth-oriented, pushing the Green New Deal. US only. Find a local hub [here](https://sunrisemovement.org/hubs). Email the hub organizer to get involved. They're volunteers, and often busy, so follow up if you don't hear back.
* Citizens Climate Lobby — broader age range, studiously bipartisan. In the US CCL is pushing a revenue-neutral carbon tax and dividend bill, [H.R. 763](https://www.congress.gov/bill/116th-congress/house-bill/763)You can find a signup form for Citizens Climate Lobby [here](https://citizensclimatelobby.org/join-citizens-climate-lobby/?tfa_3590416195188=reddit-silence7&utm_source=reddit&utm_medium=referral&utm_campaign=silence7).Make sure you figure out where the monthly meeting is and attend.
* 350.org — This is the biggest and oldest climate group. They're involved in a variety of actions, ranging from divestment to lobbying for state/province level and municipal legislation. Broad age range. Local groups can be found [here](https://350.org/get-involved/)
* [Extinction Rebellion](https://rebellion.earth/) believes in the use of nonviolent civil disobedience, including a willingness of large number of people to be arrested, on a large scale to create political change. They are most active in the UK, but also have a significant number of active local chapters in the US and other countries. Local chapters are mostly listed [here](https://rebellion.earth/act-now/local-groups/) but some in the US are only listed at [the bottom of this page](https://extinctionrebellion.us/).
If you want to find one that works for you, go down the list (and check the comments) and find out which ones are active near you. Attend a meeting or action or two to get a sense of what the group is like, and then start doing more to help.
There are others, and depending on you and your community, another group might be the best choice. If you don't feel that one of these group is a good fit for you, tell us where you are and what your community is like, and ask for help.
If you think there's something significant that one of the big groups isn't handling, ask about it. Maybe somebody can help you figure out how to get it done. | r/climate | post | r/climate | 2019-03-22 | Z0FBQUFBQm5Lakx6YjhPWFlDMmlqbHZoTW54SGVaSGJvWUt1Wm9zaEdZTTVSSk9UaEM5SU1rRzBYdmx6MXJfLWEzTjlHU0xPVXh5Sld2RUY5STczdkpyT2ZVcl9MT0J5c2c9PQ== | Z0FBQUFBQm5Lak9EUHJfZEZ6NlNuQVhrNkU3R3JnM2lDeDJKZ3hYNE4zaG9uVVVqYlpiaVRoMlRvMWVfdU9kZmJlRzNVM05yNlI1Q1JFa0E5U0ZxOTJlRlhkTElrb052bEgzSWJTUXdZSUp4bUdTQk9kTlFJMUZ4U3ZRb0xEVzNzZW9Sei03WE5tVXRHYWlrVXM2M25vUUxNS2VJZUE5SFlXVWdzcnhZZTNuUHZRdk9CUWI3a3hYdlF4c0JrbVhBQWU0OUxqSVI3RmVSeUpUWkF3d3AyRmtVWkhzN1VaOUd6Zz09 |
Would anyone be interested in, willing to pay for, an online course (think Udemy or similar) about Army tactics and Military Science? Taught by a former officer, now teacher. Thinking things like how to conduct mission planning, enemy analysis, terrain analysis, scheme of manuever, what are the forms of manuever in offense - what is a flank attack vs envelopment vs frontal assault vs penetration etc. Things along those lines. Real West Point style stuff.
Any interest? Would you be willing to pay for such- together with resources, quizes etc? If so how much? What would you expect at that price? Any particular topics you'd be interested in? | r/militarystrategy | post | r/MilitaryStrategy | 2019-04-03 | Z0FBQUFBQm5Lakx6VEpwemhIS290eFR5QVdHejlPZFh2Nk9PeUN3MWFwWWRRblRGdjQ1RVI3aXkxaVBfd2JySzJmSzZjM0NNbFVyVDRpWnozaHRmckltTWRzUXlOcFdDbnc9PQ== | Z0FBQUFBQm5Lak9EUjZabEtwTmdXX1lIZTNlQm1Da1VSZUdjZVNVbzlrcDc4TkZhNVZwTlZPMnAwckV1bS1Sb2Q0Umc1T01XT1JKVDM4WEV6ZTdCQWVIR3BXZVNPbFVLSUV6dUpIejl0TW9zbVROc1p3SWJpLU8yaVV2SDhJUXhtSUxza3BBNEpuZzlrRm5penk0cG5SQTdUVG14UTBTRGZ2SXVoR1ItdHhWdkdqd1Y2WVdRUURwbHNQelp2YTVLUUNNUnlNWWRDRnF1 |
Hey everyone,
This post is inspired by a video I was shown about clearing rooms. Most of them have a system of checking corners/silent communication on the initiation but I'm super confused about the first man in. Excluding entry using explosive devices, I don't understand how the first man in doesn't get shot when turning a corner. Is the expectation that the opposing force doesn't know the attack is coming? I'd imagine that a moderately trained individual with sights on a corner/door would always have the leg up on an individual entering as the breaching individual doesn't know the exact position of the opposition inside. Is there some aspect of clearing/entry that I am just unaware of? | r/militarystrategy | post | r/MilitaryStrategy | 2019-04-05 | Z0FBQUFBQm5Lakx6QmswSDY4RlR2ZVM5X2JzSngyWVJzUWZMMEVXbkM3Y1BXNmRQY1FyWURlMi1sbExTV0dHV3VuUlZNSFNBNjEta09qMjd5WS1GQ3FMRXFMT05pOEdRRHc9PQ== | Z0FBQUFBQm5Lak9Eb3dNdjlDc1hyVUgzNHpoUFhxWDh1TWJZaVM1NDdaZWhrd1J5THZmVTlnSnBFNnJVdWd3OEhzSC1tWmd2VTBNWVpCeXFFM0NTTkZpNU0zNU5RMzBTc0UtaXlhQXhqV25iZGF4dF9SdlFxRVM2RFBKajlwSlh1bDZOeDZtV3d6UmxzVFBhWkZTTlg1OUFRLV8xWlhuSWgyT0pFT1VEenQ2UTgyQUdEVXhnenFBPQ== |
They have detection systems, giant radars on trucks, which can give all the details of a firing solution to support units like aerial attack if you start firing mortars at team B.
Team A usually employs mortars by slow moving and vulnerable infantry. Firing a mortar reveals their location. Which incites a missile response in all likelihood.
If russia and US or china or any combination duked it out, it seems like mortar would be a thing to fall by the wayside, due to its underwhelming payload vs the ever increasing risk for its use. | r/militarystrategy | post | r/MilitaryStrategy | 2019-04-06 | Z0FBQUFBQm5Lakx6SHBqb0JtX1hKM2tFWDg2a3B1S1p0dV9qM1h0RnYtUUt4T3JqU2F1b0RUOVBTTXhOY3l3MHJrRmZUbEEyLXRPQlNKZ2VjZ1E4bjBaZzhoeHhJT1RBRFpVUzA3RkJpNXFNTWFwaURRVjl5N1U9 | Z0FBQUFBQm5Lak9ESlhJMlJHZXpPV0FWSFg1WVE1SkdIN2FFd0pqUVJkd2tUaWVScGNVeE1KdGFvNEhuOC1hZFpsZUNZMzkzQ0VLU0UwLWdSVVI0ZnNDR19PMmtMd1h3d1h5MXg2R014LVBYajVETFpORjZDRDZNWkVyQ2pBLVFUY1FZMlVESEw3Q0VPX0d1ejUxRzcxcFpEd0lxbFZlRmRxYTBYczloaG9MaU1YNTBUd25zQ2lpQ0NXbzJzNV9vT25TVFMwekxfS01QQXJxbzNPUVFEVkV0QTYxR2pGUjE4QT09 |

I'm writing a piece in which three characters are stuck in a large manor house surrounded by marshes at night. No escape, with an extremely well trained gunman aiming to break in.
One of our characters has a strong military background, the others none.
Our character's weapons: A mp5 with 3/4 of a magazine left, a Luger pistol (One mag), and one Stielhandgranate.
Our gunman's weapon: A glock 18, AR 15 variant, plenty of ammunition.

A realistic game engine that will run through battles / campaigns with historically correct data down to (maybe as low as) company level?
I just got bit by a project: counter-factual history for Army Group North. What if its mission had been less ambitious? what if Leningrad only needed to be blocked off from the south and south west, and if the Murmansk railway could be left to resources in Finland.
Would that have not empowered Group Center? and so thereby empowered South?

Hello Military Strategists,
​
We are opening alpha testing for "MiniState," an MMO where all players compete in a single, persistent world. Players will build supply chains, command large armies, and sign treaties to defend and expand their territory. The game features both fast-paced squad tactics as well as operation-level maneuvering. Combat is more realistic than arcade-like, with suppressing fire, ducking under cliffs, etc.
​
If you are interested in alpha testing the game and providing feedback to help improve the military combat mechanics, please join our Discord: [https://discord.gg/hPrTQP4](https://discord.gg/hPrTQP4)
​
Thanks!

As there's been recently quite the number of rule-breaking posts slipping by, I felt clarifying on a handful of key points would help out a bit (especially as most people use New.Reddit/Mobile, where the FAQ/sidebar isn't visible)
​
First thing is first, this is ***not a programming specific subreddit***! If the post is a better fit for r/Programming or r/LearnProgramming, that's exactly where it's supposed to be posted in. Unless it involves some aspects of AI/CS, it's relatively better off somewhere else.
​
r/ProgrammerHumor: Have a meme or joke relating to CS/Programming that you'd like to share with others? Head over to r/ProgrammerHumor, please.
​
r/AskComputerScience: Have a ***genuine*** question in relation to CS that isn't directly asking for homework/assignment help nor someone to do it for you? Head over to r/AskComputerScience.
​
r/CsMajors: Have a question in relation to CS academia (**such as "Should I take CS70 or CS61A?" "Should I go to X or X uni, which has a better CS program?")**, head over to r/csMajors.
​
r/CsCareerQuestions: Have a question in regards to jobs/career in the CS job market? Head on over to to r/cscareerquestions. (or r/careerguidance if it's slightly too broad for it)
​
r/SuggestALaptop: Just getting into the field or starting uni and don't know what laptop you should buy for programming? Head over to r/SuggestALaptop
​
r/CompSci: Have a post that you'd like to share with the community and have a civil discussion that is in relation to the field of computer science (that doesn't break any of the rules), r/CompSci is the right place for you.
​
And *finally*, **this community will** ***not*** **do your assignments for you.** Asking questions directly relating to your homework or hell, copying and pasting the entire question into the post, will not be allowed.
I'll be working on the redesign since it's been relatively untouched, and that's what most of the traffic these days see. That's about it, if you have any questions, feel free to ask them here! | r/compsci | post | r/compsci | 2019-06-16 | Z0FBQUFBQm5Lakx6MFI2Y29tYURXM3V1VTVHUkhlWWRxTzRrcXlhSWJZMWtqVjZ2eUdDZ2ZrLXBNYXpIMWhZRTFuVzZsZ3BoTHlvVTVINHlVUGNrLVBmM01HZlRvT3JNalE9PQ== | Z0FBQUFBQm5Lak9ESHYyUzZZZUQwcG5Ia3huWlpOOUlfa0ZyemN3aEZxdDVqYURLdE53cm5wSDJYTDVOYVNvVVZqQ0c1UTlrZnV0MTB0MU9VR1pQSFptTE9neHNraGtqYy1fdXdiUmVhUGMxdU1sUG5Xa1RodVhKN2dQdVVhcDAydmVXdHEydVp0NmhjN0RmTVFSaHdCX2FteHQxUWtHc1l4QVp5QWJ4Qm5teW5LeTU1UlZrczdmb2NnTHNnVWsweXVINEpLMnFERW85ekl0a0M3dmE3V3pQNFdaT2JjRGJSQT09 |
Out of sheer curiosity, I wonder: Is a sniper tower still a viable option for defending a position in the 21st century? I feel like they might be losing relevance on the modern battlefield, almost the same way trench warfare became predominantly obsolete after the development of the tank in WW I. Thoughts anybody? I'm genuinely curious as to how people view the use of marksman towers in the 21st century. | r/militarystrategy | post | r/MilitaryStrategy | 2019-06-20 | Z0FBQUFBQm5Lakx6T2lnU1JlNHYycHVBUmxLbWF3Umx1TmxBSUR4MlUzTWxzSnJXVEFQOVE0cEpNdnhzbTFaX01kNzVjdlJWM2c1aHZFZlFQaWoyZzBzY0c4LUxjb2tCcnc9PQ== | Z0FBQUFBQm5Lak9EaGdVQlJ2Y0lVN3VpdW96ZEI3bXJORWEtQWgzRjVLa2thWktrWlhkX2s1amFHdThNNFdqb3lCRkNfMnBWVTg2dHlVSnZjTFgxMFNva2dWYkR5ZUF2d2dWQ2VKNkQ5UHp6OG1taWVPd3lzODNvTnpCUnBGTkpHcS1GR3BaSGk1SHhvd1BBQThjZjJnQ2I4ZXhBQ3dhZjN2RXFIMG5zUGhTOUVUbE50V193T2NxLVdLLV9uSFZseWdLZmEwcy1XNWQwLXdnZUh2dXA1YXVYVzhrOTI1STI3QT09 |
So my team is locked inside a bunker (post apocalyptic era) and with another team who is my Allie and is pretty much more trained (im a militia force). The enemy is also militia but has howitzers with 20 ammo left, a nuke that their commanders vowed never to use and suits that can deflect any bullet expect .50 call in the helmet and on the camera on their chest apart from larger numbers than both me and my allie. So what tactic we should employ to win the war? | r/militarystrategy | post | r/MilitaryStrategy | 2019-06-27 | Z0FBQUFBQm5Lakx6NV9GY2xfcnRwWGZlTzh3RElHcE1aanBDcGhjb1lZV3JfMHZIMzhXY1Znd1NXUkNhWVA5T0pGX3dQelc2TnZnR1lUbHJqbmFxMVJYWjBONW1FWElBSzcwcVdnOU1QU0VjMlRaWEx5am9ieGc9 | Z0FBQUFBQm5Lak9Ed3lLNlM0a2xCWVQxQkdDa3ZsM0hNYkxIWkZFYkF4MGFGM3VyN1h4OThiUXNfaDZoRExmWUxPSmNEY2JHUTR3Z21iUjJ0X3FDMXVfbnp4cUs3NXBTQVdIZ3Q1M1FuT2g1Yl94Z2JzQmpaVXFLMkp5NTBUWmNzWUI1RG1Lc0hRdkxLLTRyMWNuUzBMaEZxY0NueDZ1TTQ5TDJOS1pDMkRCNkllWWZkZ2lPeXdPVC1USUtaQ2ZwWmhlNFpxMGFSeHR6 |
I just wonder why is it not a good idea?
A small tank that is about 1/4 of a Sherman tank, it will have the following equipment
1.) Dual heavy machine gun, with a RPG in case they encountered a heavy tank
2.) Dual camera besides the machine gun, which the driver can drive through VR
3.) Drones, which the second crew can control through VR to scout ahead
4.) About 1000 rounds of bullets, a customised design M-16 rifles can easily reloaded from the vehicle. Allowing the soldiers to either carry less ammo, or have access to even more ammo during heavy fire.
5.) 100 hp engine, which can travel up to 50 km/h and have a crew of two
6.) Even in the worst case scenario where the tank is disabled, soldiers can still hide behind the tank and use it as a protection. | r/militarystrategy | post | r/MilitaryStrategy | 2019-07-01 | Z0FBQUFBQm5Lakx6RTZNbkpmYWM4cXZNTFFQRkhSdGU5c2pvLUdPVXRDZ1FjNTNnd3gzR1dZTFNEZXRQZndKYjd1c2c3LUZoYnplZ1VUU1Vtb2wzam15NFRfY3VLRk9Xd2c9PQ== | Z0FBQUFBQm5Lak9EOU1KdjVpVzFpUE42QnlBc3NQeS0yTVJsWEtQcmZBZV80N1ZibGI5M1Rfbkx4OWE0Mno0ZmpTMDV5R0dPZFdsaXFxckFwQURudHoyWnRnQmpXTDZBZmFYc0J1TE5wdHNDSUhnS0dYbjlVb044a3A4ZUJrdzVIaHBMeEpSZHNUMjR4bHR4d0NpaFVBbWg4anlkSmJRTEI1enBvRGVLRFZxM01pSUVlNGlxUGVGaWgyQ1BoT1E1blFHX3pmRlJ5MmM3T1hJb3RpTHBMbFdHdnBfamNUQ3dwQT09 |
Never mind your recognisably military activities and machinaries.
Governments utilise the terror instilled in humans, from awareness of the torturous Animal Holocaust, to both threaten other countries, and to control their own citizens.
They allow, instigate, support and defend all the institutions which torture animals, for that purpose. Behind closed doors of slaughter places, or fHarms, laboratories, markets, race-tracks, veterinary clinics, zoos, pet fHarms, fisheries, humans are deliberately encouraged to torture animals, and shown how, as trainees to be called upon for their 'skills', when enemies or citizens must be defeated or silenced and controlled.
In fact, they never have to call in those torturers, that we know of, as the global populace has become aware of the evil perpetrated against animals everywhere, and are horrified to realise there are humans who are prepared to enact such evils, and realise that if they can do such evil to animals it is no step at all to enact those evils against humans instead.. thus, the populace is largely silenced and subdued.
THIS is the reason why the Animal Holocaust continues apparently unabated, no matter the global rise of veganism and rebellion against the atrocities perpetrated against animals.
THIS is a military strategy which costs governments nothing except the manpower to stop protests and to stop animal activists saving animals. The populace largely continues to demand meat and dairy, leather and all the other 'animal products, so the work is done, for the defence departments.
THIS is also a message for the vegan world. There is a whole darker reason why the Animal Holocaust continues seemingly unabated. It is complex beyond this explanation too. It is in the human drive to 'survive at all costs', out-dated as that is now, in this obviously dying world.
THIS is calling for nothing less than a complete psychological and spiritual overhaul of the human mind.
Without such, we humans are simply doomed to go extinct very shortly. No need for guns, tanks, for anything then. | r/militarystrategy | post | r/MilitaryStrategy | 2019-07-02 | Z0FBQUFBQm5Lakx6dFd6RXQ2S3doR0EwNWN5S0owWGJKTWxRVXpYVUV6UnR4bWJQT3NFY1hvanNDSGlZNi0zM2pVMTZpQmJVN3hBTmxCdzhkQ3RHTUdsYldqMjRuZTVPY2c9PQ== | Z0FBQUFBQm5Lak9EY0cyTGNBcDNIQTFic29Mam55SzVHSXljaGRhcFFWTHdaeURLaHlzS0RBdGxnX1UwTGRIcEU1Tk5GTTdaZ2VDNmY4WVptbWpTVWN6b0Vaak53TER1RjQ0WWRiZ3pPREl5NzM3UzdwXzdjaFhERXlrY04yMm1aeFM2UE1aZ21NRTBXQnI2QlhpcTdhdWk3MWFWX19IZ19fTkEwTUVzZkptcDd1UDJHcFVRS042dU9vNEM3djdpOW5CVmhsbEVBaU5y |
I’m writing a sci-fi story, and in one part they have to take a city held by rebel forces. This city included a naval base, so they have control of military ships, with the know-how and resources to fly them. So in this situation, would a siege supported by orbital strikes be better, or would an invasion be a better idea? | r/militarystrategy | post | r/MilitaryStrategy | 2019-07-03 | Z0FBQUFBQm5Lakx6enBXOU02REVzWVVwSmp3SHZINzNTUV90cFV1SzlmblNzY0lvenpKa0I1VmNuZDEzdV9oRDFMT21qOUxVR3pVSHN3NTNXQ2Y4OGswWmE5TExzeDMyZkE9PQ== | Z0FBQUFBQm5Lak9EcEtDYmd5ODUxQ3p4bW82bXVjazMxdWtBVFV4U0ZzalE4dzBrZHp2a1oxWHhBbEl4R1hhb3BNQlo2Q1RBamlTMEFaMF9LUV94QVI1RXhRNWJEZ2hqdWpSa1ZLcVF3Y084ZG9fUkk3YUlxUG93QjFMNWdGM1NLUHZJaFg4VHlhcFluUjFTeEt3ZjFVWHRzTUIxdVlxTS1mV1RXRWpma0pWUzVibVk4Y1RwNlRFPQ== |
How would an army (lets call them Army A) of 25,000 cavalry, 3,000 mounted archers, 10,000 infantry, and 1,000 archers take a fortified bridge. The Bridge in question is about 1.3 miles long and garrisoned by 35,000ish men of an unspecified designation (Army B). The situation is made harder by the fact that the soldiers garrisoning the bridge are used to starvation and that the bridge needs to remain intact, as Army A needs to cross it. | r/militarystrategy | post | r/MilitaryStrategy | 2019-07-06 | Z0FBQUFBQm5Lakx6X09DZFRNbW9Wa1paLTJxTEpxMUpCTDFlQTBNZjRWa3RhQnFETzRqZG8yTUwzU2EtSGVpd1FaZzdNbXdxa3kwd0VVd0NBNEZSekt6RjB6Q25SbmdMZFE9PQ== | Z0FBQUFBQm5Lak9EaWY2WWd5Qmd3a2VBOWgyZ0JVYms2R21YRUFPU0dEUkc3ZnF4eWRuU3pmRmF0Q0d3OFVEeDJIRXVKbDdZN3pXNEt5YzZrSXpUQzkzX3pLdWZpVE94blZkZDhFNTdHZ2dCS3FxR0x6OFRmd1g3UVpud2FNdFRnR19sZzcySWNrVjE2VDBJbmdicHhTYndLT0kwcVZlNTZHRFZDSGhOclNjQnlta3FWNHUyVW8ta2lDVjVTSXpoZ3cwclR4SDVEdzYx |

The PAC-2 had a decent range, but the PAC-3 is limited to just a few miles. Looking at how huge the range for the Russian S-300/S-400 systems are, I wonder why the United States hasn't developed a "PAC-4" or something that would have a range of 400 miles, too, or the like?

**What is** r/BitcoinCash **?**
The [r/BitcoinCash](https://www.reddit.com/r/bitcoincash/) subreddit is a forum dedicated to discussing the cryptocurrency Bitcoin Cash (BCH). The aim of this subreddit is to cultivate a space for constructive discussion about Bitcoin Cash. Intentionally disruptive behaviour and heavily off-topic discussion will be moderated accordingly. Please refer to the sidebar for the subreddit rules.
​
**What is Bitcoin Cash?**
Bitcoin Cash is a peer-to-peer electronic cash system. It's a permissionless, decentralised cryptocurrency that requires no trusted third parties and no central bank. With Bitcoin Cash you can safely and securely send money anywhere in the world, nearly for free.
For more information about Bitcoin Cash, please visit[ bitcoincash.org](https://www.bitcoincash.org/).
​
**Is Bitcoin Cash different from “Bitcoin”?**
Yes! In 2017, the Bitcoin project and its community split into two. Perhaps the least controversial way to refer to each side is simply by their respective ticker symbols, BTC and BCH. While exchanges commonly refer to BTC as simply “Bitcoin”, Bitcoin Cash, usually represented by the BCH ticker symbol, is considered by its supporters to be a legitimate continuation of the Bitcoin project, and the version with the best chance of creating a globally adopted peer-to-peer electronic cash system.
​
**Why was it necessary to create Bitcoin Cash?**
The legacy Bitcoin code had a maximum limit of 1MB of data per block, or about 4 transactions per second. There was also a common sentiment among Bitcoin Core developers that non-backwards compatible upgrades, commonly known as “hard forks”, should be avoided at all cost. This mindset severely limited the potential to introduce beneficial changes to Bitcoin, which were needed to prepare the protocol for mass adoption.
Although technically simple, the Bitcoin community could not reach a consensus on raising the block size limit, even after years of debate. In 2017, capacity hit the 1MB-imposed wall, fees skyrocketed, and Bitcoin became unreliable, with some users unable to get their transactions confirmed even after days of waiting. An average transaction fee of $50 took place in December 2017. As a result, Bitcoin stopped growing, and companies such as Steam and Microsoft began *dropping* Bitcoin, because it was no longer a cheap and reliable payment method.
In August 2017, a subset of the Bitcoin community decided to move forward with a proposed protocol upgrade, forking Bitcoin, and creating Bitcoin Cash by lifting the block size limit as a step towards massive on-chain scaling. There is now ample capacity for everyone's transactions on the Bitcoin Cash blockchain; low fees and fast confirmations are standard, and the network has been allowed to grow again.
​
**Isn’t** r/btc **“the Bitcoin Cash subreddit”?**
It is worth noting that the r/btc subreddit came into use before Bitcoin Cash existed. It was originally created as a forum for open discussion about Bitcoin. After August 2015, r/btc gained a large user-base when the[ r/bitcoin](https://www.reddit.com/r/bitcoin/) subreddit[ began censoring](https://np.reddit.com/r/Bitcoin/comments/3h9cq4/its_time_for_a_break_about_the_recent_mess/) discussion about raising Bitcoin’s block size limit. After the Bitcoin community split over the Bitcoin Cash fork in August 2017, the [r/btc](https://www.reddit.com/r/btc/) Bitcoin community naturally became the Bitcoin Cash community, as that’s where its proponents already resided, having been ousted from r/bitcoin by censorship.
To this day, [r/btc](https://www.reddit.com/r/btc/) continues to offer a place for open and censorship-free discussion about all Bitcoin forks, with minimal interference by moderators.
​
**So how does** r/BitcoinCash **differ from** r/btc **?**
In July 2019, the [r/BitcoinCash](https://www.reddit.com/r/bitcoincash/) subreddit [introduced](https://www.reddit.com/r/Bitcoincash/comments/cckje4/rbitcoincash_subreddit_change_of_moderation/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=web2x) a stricter moderation policy, following requests from the Bitcoin Cash community for an alternative and specific forum for discussing Bitcoin Cash. The intention is to offer a space that is more focused on specifically discussing Bitcoin Cash, as well as one that is free of the ongoing low-effort trolling that frequently takes advantage of [r/btc](https://www.reddit.com/r/btc/)’s principled commitment to free speech.
This subreddit now offers all users a choice about the kind of forum that they wish to participate in. The hope is that, without the distractions that threaten to derail discussion on [r/btc](https://www.reddit.com/r/btc/), [r/BitcoinCash](https://www.reddit.com/r/bitcoincash/) may be able to foster a more focused, inclusive, and involved conversation.

First of all, I do believe that commanding a modern battle is very challenging.
What I'm wondering about are ancient or medieval battles. I've only heard about maneuvers such as flanking, surprise attack etc. I mean: there are few of them, and you just tell your cavalry to go around the enemy lines, ...right? You are not able to communicate with your forces, so you just place them, tell them what the plan is, and hope for the best?
One might say: choosing when and where to battle is of greater importance. However, it still seems pretty simple: ambush > no ambush, ground on which your troops excel > ground on which your troops suck.
I believe that my assumptions are wrong, but in what way? | r/militarystrategy | post | r/MilitaryStrategy | 2019-08-04 | Z0FBQUFBQm5Lakx6Q1FRSXR5T004cVhPOEE0SWx4WS16QmNCLTM2UVFsR25RXy1PdEFoV1dTMzExUll3ei1GWU9VajlFMHoyb0VseUZmaGxSYXAtcGhNeHlRNWNwSU5pMUE9PQ== | Z0FBQUFBQm5Lak9ETmlzYjlZUGxmRTlEMjA0WDRiQkM1LWFUS3BHcmN1czJQdmI1UHZYWXVQQjdnS0haa3EwTERDM2ZhMUhlSG90cVFIUkdQWkxaU2Y2RUxkSC1ka3hILVNXeUxhNUd5c2xrQjBVWWoxclB2WEhadzNEZzNyYkczbzVvdnhfeTdicTZxck9XVHlfWUJ3TWRHRzVfS1UtUmJBelBoeE1iUVhKdl9YUWNYenM3djFScnBqeFl2WHptUlp6ZXZ2eUlBUW93bjdyY3lrdlp3MW1ZMTNzOGxLWFFzQT09 |
I am writing a story in a fantasy setting with late European medieval/early renaissance technology and magic. The invading force is much larger and more powerful than the defenders. I decided my strategy was for the defenders to slow down the invading force as the invading force's government disapproves of the war. Therefore hoping a prolonged war would force the invaders to sign a peace treaty or an armistice.
My first question is if this strategy is viable? If isn't, what would be a better one?
If so then what are some ways you could slow down an invader?

Two forces of the majority human Descelan League, and the majority goblinoid Nolgek Empire are drawn into battle. Both are well-established empires, with the Descelan League styled as a Greco-Roman culture alliance of five powerful city states, while the Nolgek Empire is styled as a medieval Chinese-esque empire with a military dictator in power.
​
The battle takes place in an open field, with the forces of the League having arrived from a city roughly twenty miles from the battle site. The intention is for their force to check moves by the Nolgek Empire directed at threatening the city and its lucrative supply routes, which would allow for the Nolgek to financially cripple the city-state and the League as a whole. Both armies are well-trained, prepared, and positioned for battle. No crazy magic is involved (no war mages, dragons, etc.), just replace one side with hobgoblins and you're good.
**Forces**
*Descelan League*
\- 1000 crossbow horsemen (unarmored horses, light crossbows and straight swords for weapons, light lamellar armor)
\- 4000 heavily-armored "hoplites" (large steel shield, *doru* spear, and shortswords, with steel breastplates and limb protection with cloth backing, citizen soldiers)
\- 2000 veteran "hoplites" (same equipment as the regulars, but are professional, full-time soldiers as opposed to citizen soldiers called up to serve)
\- 1000 light archers (cloth/leather armor, recurve bows, and straight swords, also mostly citizens not fortunate enough to afford hoplite gear)
\- 4000 elite "phalangite" reinforcements (wear similar armor to the hoplites, but with chain and cloth backing, and a shield strapped to their body with a 15ft. pike wielded in both hands, and a shortsword for close combat)
\- 300 "noble cavalry" and retinues (heavy cavalry in plated armor, with lance, shield, and sword, mounted on warhorses with mail barding)
\- 1700 "Borderlander" mercenaries (think medieval Irish warriors, hired as mercenaries to fill in the ranks, using similar shield wall tactics, but less disciplined than the "native" force)
*Nolgek Empire*
\- 2500 light horsemen (unarmored horses, Mongol-style recurve bows and sabres for weapons, light cloth/silk armor)
\- 3000 "swordsmen" (circular steel shield, sabre, and mace for weapons, with steel lamellar armor)
\- 4000 "infantry" (glaives/pikes, sabres for close fighting, with steel lamellar armor)
\- 2000 "archers" (longbowmen, with maces for close fighting, and leather/silk armor)
\- 1500 heavy cavalry (heavy cavalry in heavy lamellar armor, with lance, shield, and sword, mounted on warhorses with lamellar barding)
The League's troops are not as well-disciplined overall compared to the Nolgek Empire's troops, and both draw upon their traditional tactical/strategic principles associated with their cultures, though some anachronisms work for sure (this is still fantasy, even if it is "low" after all)
Assuming "ideal" climate conditions for both armies, in an open field with some rocky terrain, how would commanders from both sides go about trying to position their forces, and attack the enemy? Does one force completely trump the other? What would make a battle such as this more "balanced" if one side completely holds the advantage over the other? | r/militarystrategy | post | r/MilitaryStrategy | 2019-08-26 | Z0FBQUFBQm5Lakx6b3U4QzA3bXlFQ0F0R1lCcElON0ZmM240bHBCTlQ4YmpvRWVfZF9aSVJvb0h1WFNMd01PODVtOXZ2dWdBZnRCQ3VsWGZGS1IwOHhBcy1CSlZDOGVPNWc9PQ== | Z0FBQUFBQm5Lak9ELUp0Q2JDZ1E1SFVDY3psVXRtVm1Iekp5azhPZ1AzMjgxaFBzejAwWTFYX2RDcVFNaW40YlB1M1A5Um40b1h0U3JZWGVUNGdIcUtqT2F4SjludzdwMVY5TFFnTmVUSlNORzlaLTdIMlA5a3oxWlBaY3JSNThzRW9iRWl2Vm1fNU1uUlNCS0xGZGFreEZNUTZYenJiOV9uQ1VaXzBVSkh6aFZwUVZVampqN19ndHpNWHNUZkRTclhCbzRSdVg4MnJQ |

Tl;Dr: Months of planning and training for the boogaloo, to drop faggots into trenches and run over them, and to launch C4 with rockets, all to take more POWs.
The First Gulf War is the name given to Operation Desert Shield and Operation Desert Storm following Saddam Hussein's (Iraqi) invasion of Kuwait. Coalition forces, mainly comprising US forces, set up forward operating bases in Saudi Arabia to prevent further military advancement of Iraqi forces from Kuwait. This led to a year-long stalemate which allowed Iraqi forces time to set up static defenses along the southern and western portions of Kuwait.
As with all static defense, the goal was to deny fast access to strategic points: in this case Kuwait International Airport. This can take different strategic roles, from funneling enemy troops to favorable locations, to increasing 'face time' under protected fire. Given the specific characteristics of Saddam's defenses: two lines of tank ditches and minefields running the length of Kuwait separated by relatively little desert, the conclusion was that the first minefield was to act as a funnel for troops and roadblock for artillery, where the second minefield was to be actively defended by Iraqi forces. This would give the Iraqis relative protection from artillery, while increasing the amount of time coalition forces spent under unprotected fire.
Most of this was known to coalition forces prior to operation Desert Storm, and quite a bit of time, resources, and strategy were devoted to solving the static defense problems in the closing days of operation Desert Shield. My dad was assigned to task force Ripper as an Amtrak detachment to be the pointy end of Mattis' long spear. He was to provide transportation for battle engineers to the minefields, and, as a result, he had a vested interest in keeping 'face time' with the Iraqis to a minimum.
One of his primary concerns was that tank ditches limited direct access to the minefield. To bring a bulldozer out would be both slow and risky, as malfunction or destruction would just increase time spent under fire. In order to solve this first strategic problem, faggots were back in vogue. In ye olden days, invading troops would collect bundles of sticks on their way to storm the castle and, upon arriving, would promptly drop those faggots into the castle's moat: creating an impromptu bridge across which the soldiers could walk. In the modern era, those faggots were bundles of pipe, secured to the sides of Amtracks via blasting bolts. Roll up to the ditch, blow the bolt, dump the faggot, turn around, repeat, and eventually you have an impromptu bridge. Overall, this reduced potential exposure to enemy fire, and was more reliable than bulldozing the ditch or filling it by hand.
First obstacle out of the way, they turned their sights to the minefields proper. A Rube Goldberg contraption had been designed which was essentially a string of C4 and det-cord rigged to a rocket. Fire the rocket to string the C4 across the minefield, detonate it, and the explosive front would cause secondary explosions in the mines, rendering them useless. Finally, run a plow-equipped tank through the cleared path to clear undetonated ordinance and proceed.
As a result of careful planning and good execution, it took task force ripper less than 45 minutes to bust trail through all of the obstacles (I think it was like 20 minutes for the first minefield and like 15 minutes for the second. I tried to refind the source for this one, but to no avail). The rapid advancement led to minor resistance, no fatalities in the breaching crew, and the biggest logistical threat was handling everyone who wanted to give up. No better friend, no worse enemy, Semper Fi dad. | r/militarystrategy | post | r/MilitaryStrategy | 2019-09-17 | Z0FBQUFBQm5Lakx6TG5MUkR6LTVZLUd4c1lwTkc0ck5zM0M5SWZvTW85bDhrMWhqRDZyMWZNX1ZFN3RvVVVyTk9nMTFuTGpjYnFUUi1IWGpKU3drTi1LRXIwTGxDNzRPaHc9PQ== | Z0FBQUFBQm5Lak9EWlhpSmVNaHl1UGtaNjBJejF0SGJ1SVgwQ0hMM2lDbjY0cUdiS0hUdVBMdndmblFVZUxBMnlWMXZ3c0FKUTQ3LVRYWjYxU2wxb3dCZ3NFY0k1VTg0ejlIQThZM2tQN202VGRWYy1QLVVQX3hSR1gxblZtUTQ5LWdfQ1lKMVJMMlhNQXlZT1lYNklPQXhTbkVXODVlTXVKaGtVMTEtbGpBYmN0VDVRYVlqaDZoaUYzZG9Rc0kxak1mczRFRUZpRDhyOGY4cE02Ry1CcWVFRUp2TmYzeVk4dz09 |
Sometimes ancient armies would attempt to take cities by tunneling under their walls and sneaking in. I've read that this tactic was effective if done in secrecy, but the moment the defending army noticed the tunnels by hearing them or seeing the buildup of dirt, the attackers were toast. The defenders could countermine (dig their own tunnel) and subvert the attackers. However, I'm not entirely sure why digging a tunnel into an attacker's tunnel underground had anything more than a 50% success rate.
Why? Is it because you can flank them with one countermined tunnel on each side, for example? Or did it simply come down to which army was better equipped to fight in close quarters? What precise strategic advantages do you gain once you learn where the enemy tunnels are?

1. **SCENARIO:** You are walking and you got ambushed by one enemy.
2. **OBJECTIVES:** Shoot back and kill enemy **WHILE** being shot at, fire upon, under fire.
(A lot of videos always show people shooting at targets with drills, but **never how to shoot back or what to do** WHILE being under fire, or shot at).
3. **CONDITIONS:**
\- No flanking maneuvers
\- No support powers (airstrikes, artillery support...etc.)
\- No grenades
\- Just you and him. 1 vs 1.
\- You are PINNED DOWN.
4. Which is best option to take?
\- **Option 1**: You take cover > you stick out gun **WHILE** kneeling **SIMULTANEOUSLY** (instantaneously lower body area to avoid getting shot at) > you shoot back = he dies.
\- **Option 2**: You take cover > you hide > you hear enemy reloading > you stick gun out > enemy sticks out after reloading > you shoot first = he dies.
\- **Options 3: List your suggestion steps on how to win firefight.**

I've been doing writing for some time and wondering if bribery is viable to an invading force.
So the world is a medieval/renaissance fantasy world with two continents. Continent A is ruled by one Empire that is invading Continent B, which is made up of smaller empires, kingdoms, city-states, etc.
One of the countries on Continent B is ruled by an upper class of merchant princes. So the invading Empire decides to bribe all of the princes into becoming a vassal state rather than a province of the Empire. Now they don't bribe everyone since: too much money to bribe everyone and well, assuming merchants care more about money than say national pride.
Being a vassal state would entail: being able to keep their own military, laws not contradictory to the Empire, and own administrative and trade practices.
Being a province would entail: the Empire appointing a governor to rule, disbandment of their entire military, and all laws, courts, and religion under control of the Empire.
The bribe includes tons of gold, trade deals, and even willing to give them more territory.
Would this work? Or would they take the bribe and say "nevermind no deal"? | r/militarystrategy | post | r/MilitaryStrategy | 2019-10-14 | Z0FBQUFBQm5Lakx6WWM1S1NHM1FMNm5OalI5OEkzMDlqOERCT3RlRDFkdVJON1FVbXJrTTZIZEFWeGlFVVJzV1dpRDZCRDA1RFhXZXBPTThRTDMtZGZzVGxKMXNRbWxqZGc9PQ== | Z0FBQUFBQm5Lak9EOVZwMlhwRWY1Ujc2OTlJdkp3QzZlRGNVaTh0MThnVUtSbHpsUF9zR2YyOUdrWUNFczd2Z2FiakxwcjJWbkNpU1Jwa1dpMkFhM29DU0E3cEsyTFdsWnBrMGtZWHZRbU9UR1RzSVlLVnFJd2x5NnJ0cVNLNVh5TlNHaWpsa2tNYUFwVjVFeGpHUG1KT1BlNGtjbUlVY0VmWDA3SDA3VW9kWTFTUE8xdkpscVdmZG5pSDlNMzdmblFiSUFyc1Zkb3hzcEFCQlN0STBUVUsyN0NPNlVLZnU5Zz09 |

Apologies if this is not the correct subreddit for my question. I live in Wroclaw, Poland, and I'm not able to find any information online regarding the physical locations of Carl Von Clausewitz in Breslau/Wroclaw. I emailed Vania Eftimova before I moved here a year ago, but didn't hear back.
If you know of any existing locations for his offices or residence here, I'd very much like to see them in person. I can post pics.

Hello,
So I want to learn more about military strategy, terminology and etc. I have a interest but have absolutely no knowledge. Are there any books or online resources I can use to read about basics of military organization, strategy, operations and tactics? Hopefully you guys can help, sorry for my ignorance.

We have created a new subreddit specifically for Syrian civil war news, it is called r/KurdistanNews. Please join us on the new subreddit. The old r/syriancivilwar subreddit was extremely biased against Turkey and the Syrian Arab Republic and Russia; if you said a single negative thing about the Kurdish (American/Israeli backed) groups or Israel/USA, you were automatically banned or shadowbanned. My subreddit is more open towards the Turkish perspective; and news that agrees with Russia/Iran/SAR is allowed. It is a much cleaner, and more neutral space in general
Through time, it has becomes obvious that r/syriancivilwar is an information campaign designed to steer public opinion in favor of US/Israeli policies in Syria. There was an article written about this very topic, which proves that various governments want to promote their own interests online through the use of social media, brainwashing, and propaganda. This includes Reddit as well.

The moderators on r/syriancivilwar are nothing but thieves, and have stolen several subreddits that promoted independent news, such as r/SyrianCivilWarNews and r/SyrianOpposition, by having the moderators of those subreddits banned for technicalities, and then requesting those subreddits via r/redditrequest. The r/syriancivilwar subreddit is also guilty of brigading r/syriancivilwarnews, as can be obviously observed by simply viewing that subreddit.
Here is a copy of a post from a mod of r/SyrianCirclejerkWar (which is where the mods and prominent members of r/syriancivilwar post their memes) which states why he targeted another subreddit that disagreed with his.

We have created a new subreddit specifically for Syrian civil war news, it is called r/KurdistanNews. Please join us on the new subreddit. The old r/syriancivilwar subreddit was extremely biased against Turkey and the Syrian Arab Republic and Russia; if you said a single negative thing about the Kurdish (American/Israeli backed) groups or Israel/USA, you were automatically banned or shadowbanned. My subreddit is more open towards the Turkish perspective; and news that agrees with Russia/Iran/SAR is allowed. It is a much cleaner, and more neutral space in general
Through time, it has becomes obvious that r/syriancivilwar is an information campaign designed to steer public opinion in favor of US/Israeli policies in Syria. There was an article written about this very topic, which proves that various governments want to promote their own interests online through the use of social media, brainwashing, and propaganda. This includes Reddit as well.
https://slate.com/news-and-politics/2019/03/syrian-civil-war-subreddit.html
The moderators on r/syriancivilwar are nothing but thieves, and have stolen several subreddits that promoted independent news, such as r/SyrianCivilWarNews and r/SyrianOpposition, by having the moderators of those subreddits banned for technicalities, and then requesting those subreddits via r/redditrequest. The r/syriancivilwar subreddit is also guilty of brigading r/syriancivilwarnews, as can be obviously observed by simply viewing that subreddit.
Here is a copy of a post from a mod of r/SyrianCirclejerkWar (which is where the mods and prominent members of r/syriancivilwar post their memes) which states why he targeted another subreddit that disagreed with his.

It is funny, the mods of r/syriancivilwar act like some kind of neutral humanitarian Gods that help the "poor oppressed Kurds", yet they go around trying to steal other people's subreddits that don't agree with their views, and shadowbanning everyone that doesn't agree with them on their own subbreddit. Take a look at the head mod of r/syriancivilwar Twitter account. It's all pro-Kurdish YPG/PKK/USA/Israel. Not biased...?
https://twitter.com/NotWoofers
Also, make sure to see what the "humble" mods of r/syriancivilwar wrote after taking over r/SyrianOpposition. Riiight, totally not an information campaign trying to destroy internet forums that disagree with you...
http://archive.is/DLz3q
And look here, the poor humanitarian YPG Subreddit head mod begs for money. Can't find a real job, bro? You need to fool people to fund your pro-Israeli/pro-USA information campaign? "I'm a poor YPG in North Syria, send me sum moneyyyzz so I can halp poor Kurdish PKK groups." Yeah right...

Here are the same r/syriancivilwar mods trying to steal r/syriancivilwarnews after they managed to ban the head mod on those subreddits. In the end, they managed to steal that subreddit from it's rightful owners.

http://archive.is/MflWB
On r/syriancivilwarnews, they managed to do a strawpoll, right before it was taken over by the r/syriancivilwar goons. As can be seen, a high proportion of people voted that they have been harassed by the r/syriancivilwar mods sometime in the past.

As a bonus, here are two videos from our r/syriancivilwar moderators' talking about 4Chan. As you can see, he lives in an absolute slum, drinks an unhealthy amount of alcohol and also grows Cannabis for a living. He even jokes about being paid by the CIA, while showing off his small cannabis growing operation.

I'm curious if there are any historical examples on the use of captured enemy soldiers to bolster your own forces. And I'm interested in the methods used by those in command to do so safely and effectively.
The scenario that brought this into mind would be something along the lines of an internal rebellion being squashed, the soldiers that were part of that rebellion being captured. If they were in large numbers, how would you deal with them?
Would recruiting them to your own forces be inviting sabotage? Are there ways to mitigate that by placing them in non vital rolls and under close supervision?
Interested in hearing people's thoughts. | r/militarystrategy | post | r/MilitaryStrategy | 2019-11-10 | Z0FBQUFBQm5Lakx6aDJVaDV0bXdSekh3YlU5bU5ZY2J5ZndZWFZka0x2VklocVQ5RkZhUC1NS0FXYmJldVhCdWhjWGVSMkIxQ2hZTWdlVUpMd3R3Y29ZVEk3N0Nib0hUcVE9PQ== | Z0FBQUFBQm5Lak9EUHQtdzY3S1d1T1pITU13N3hsb3dwVmFKR19GMHc1YkJrNi11VUNvd0VnMUR5UG9pZm14UmNUZUk2ODZSUXgxYnQ5YlVhOFMxWVE0YTdDazVqcU82MUxrNjU1OU1UeTBZeFdhZDUzVE5yRUhPNldOSzVKWWFWSERjM0JMMUdydDVMVzNHQ0MzVnJOMFZIWlhPRVVIUDMtRWJGMW1MWmp1UW5UcVVpQ0dGQ2x6OGlEdko2ejl1ejViNDRUYUhRMF9ScnVqaEc1XzJNODFoM2l3Z2NOY0FzZz09 |

I don't see how that's correct. No one gets upset about what China does. Only Israel. Example: the world focuses on Palestine rather than Xinjiang for some reason, though what's going on in Xinjiang is far worse in deaths and imprisoned. No one is particularly bothered when Arabs kill other Arabs, or lynch gays, or butcher journalists, but when Israel hits at the Islamic Jihad it's The Worst. | r/levantinewar | comment | r/LevantineWar | 2019-11-19 | Z0FBQUFBQm5Lakx6Z05GZlZjOWswSjVTSV9SM3JDUmFsM0Z5Q0NFU21IQ0VwdzEwdmE5UkgzNDJzdnB1QTZxRFVKM2dGRTJEX1JxWlJ3YzdoMHNfNkJjLWpkYmxTbFFFRUE9PQ== | Z0FBQUFBQm5Lak9ERzl1eEJQQm4ySGE1X2dqR2JBbGp4bzhidTZISGtFYVhXSmJzcXYwU3R4eWZIWEdzaEs2UGpYUkp0RzRBN0JLcTU4bmxnWmswZE1OSFh0UmdfRk5Yeml0SGlLeDVHaWtWc2dXbW1mT1N5T2ZybHN4UHdvSFZkalJCRzlyWWpZTi0tT00xV250SllWQ05HcFdNZmVYV1RxUGZRWUtrR2ZmblFYTUtsMTcwRzlvRmd3N0c3TTM0d0g1ckJhTXdPcDBGaVR0RWp6UHFwZEk2eXNOUHR3UkpZcE5DT2VZdjRtNS16bnhKWFlEQ2U5az0= |

I found this subredit because, after a class on ancient Greece history, we were told how Philip and Alexander defeated everyone with a form of oblique order formation called the hammer and anvil. Learning more I saw that Frederick the great also use it to great effect. So my question is how do you defeat an oblique formation? Can it even be defeated? and can it be done by a statique formation?

I'm glad I found this reddit community. I've been very bothered lately at the amount of illegals moving to my area, durham nc. I can't seem to discuss my concerns with anybody, either here locally or online without getting severe backlash for being a racist, a white supremacist, etc. The fact is it's annoying the hell out of me. It just doesn't seem like a good thing. Am I crazy for believing that? | r/illegalimmigration | post | r/IllegalImmigration | 2019-12-04 | Z0FBQUFBQm5Lakx6OHpCN3BYbkxKd0N4Y2ZrNjNPNnBncHh4dEZTYkkwZEZ6TFNPcWg1UDAtbDl4Z3BuSkVSMzBaZDBJWHBUVnNCN3hxYjJnSWxwTzdhWkhfTENKX0QxRXc9PQ== | Z0FBQUFBQm5Lak9EeGpjRW5CZ1loOTVHOWdtNlZnYXNfMXdseE5MUVdEYkZZOUJfZng0ZjFHYnNPZ2xIU0dvT29XckhDZ285SXl3YlNoOU1QcE9RRTlsMzBFbmhKSUF3UDdSWnh6WmVTVzZ3SzlSdmlIVDZ5X3V3Y3F2TmUwUGpyYkNmTjNZZmIwR1Z4UkpyMTlzRzdfQ3ZhVnhnX0REOTFqd0llOGhXak96TUp6b0dvZHgxUHNJPQ== |
I forgot to mention that the city government here in durham is doing its best to welcome the flood of illegal migrants. They passed an affordable housing bond to supply more low rent housing. All of the civic communications are now in english and spanish. They have posted questionnaires asking the language spoken at home, obviously to gauge the need for more translated information. They might as well put out a welcome mat in spanish welcoming illegal aliens. | r/illegalimmigration | post | r/IllegalImmigration | 2019-12-04 | Z0FBQUFBQm5Lakx6blp4NkNwNmFfYmpBeUR5M0pzd3V3aXJ1UUFITGUxRmc3SnBVYWR5REZwYmZrUkpnSE82aTNKakw2Wlg2ZWRHR0E0aFVNMzZTbkowejBzRVZFQkQzVEE9PQ== | Z0FBQUFBQm5Lak9EVENvb3ppRExHd3oyb2trbGl0ekFEMTQxN3JkNWVjMXVYaDZZQnRlX1ZRYlZlWmtZWUtodmh5a2tsVVlvMGJGS3BPakFldGdBVkFNc0UxSkJQWXVxY25RZUdjLUJrZk8wUjhPRHBxSlBTcmdfeTNNcUQtN0pfQnBCT29IbmVMRjNQVm1hWEdqTzU2aW9WTjFFUjJ4NXJEWExQNFVTLUhUaEYwMTkyejN4QkhjPQ== |
I have a lot of doubts about what I'm going to study, international trade is one of the things I like the most but I don't know if it's for me, if you can answer these questions you would be helping me a lot.
What tasks do you do in your work on a day-to-day basis?
How do you feel about it?
How was your experience in college? Can you live on this?

Hello subreddit! I've been having a hard time finding books and sources that would analyze, from a military history point of view, the Middle East wars of the last two decades. I'm especially curious to find an impartial look at military operations by various sides during the Syrian Civil War.
One thing that interests me is just how did Islamic State, an entity that has no armored units, aviation or navy, manage to capture such a large area of land, and why did it take a combination of the International Coalition, the Iraqi Security Forces, the Syrian Democratic Forces, the Syrian Arab Army and the Russian Armed Forces (am I forgetting anyone else?) almost five years to recapture that territory?
Would be extremely grateful for any book or article recommendations! | r/militarystrategy | post | r/MilitaryStrategy | 2019-12-29 | Z0FBQUFBQm5Lakx6Y1hENTZSb1hGSlU2OGVLeWdfYjl5RExyWTNmaE1yTkc3akJkTnNJVHNrdEFEQ3ZIN3JKMHFWaW1yVWthQ1lRNFV2SnppQ3loejFaM1kyVlMzeVRtU3c9PQ== | Z0FBQUFBQm5Lak9EdWdqUktVOUNRZTZaQmRwYU95Tk9YVmlnSUNuRGQtZ0dHbjk2cU5hZFZINktBOEdVMERsSld2N0RlbDVaUGEzVVlWQzlwUktCaTExX1lDOFVlbUltOVV6bzB4YUVtMnNhR1ltcmJWQzd0SzVqbUl6MUNGTEwzalhhaXpiZDB5bWZLa1lhZllZN1BjdEJfSGNMSjJaWG1ZaHRaRlZYOHFFVG1IYlRuVTFLU0ktOENjVnFKOUk0VkVHQ0F0czFEa1MwQlBtNWFFc3hZR2hhTldsQ2VoV1BOdz09 |

I would never slight Mr. Putin or his quite obvious skills as a political or military tactician. Frankly, he is one of the best history has seen in nearly a century, perhaps longer.
That said, be careful not to underestimate the American military machine. Under a more astute and skilled Commander in Chief, it is still a force to be counted. Plus, we are all mad here and I am afraid we would gleefully burn and salt this earth to prove our point. Whatever that point may be.

There is no Syrian war. There is simply the U.S. corporate-military-intelligence complex trying to look like the good guys while destabilizing/destroying Syria and getting caught terrorizing, funding local killers and staging attacks.
Every time they get caught, they just move onto another project, knowing how quickly the public forgets things.
