Lack of manpower.

There was a 7 page story in the New York Time that our combat generals want to have more men when they invade Iraq. When the Iraq Special Forces in the Southern Iraq cities put up than real fight we have to ended our forward movenment for one week to have than enought men to defeat then, in mobile warfare your rearward toops are meant to deal with just than event while your mobile force move forword. We didnot have any men to guard the many Iraq ammo and weapon dump that where looted at night when we where busy alsowhere. When the regulate Iraq military units have mass destion of they men we didnot have the manpower to chase and captice then. When the mass looting by Iraq started we lack manpower to control or stop it. We lack the manpower to take the town and cities in the Sunnie triangle or hand the Shilite touble in the Sourth .

 

cool (just posting to get another story from charles).

 

I don't think you need to post to get a story, they pretty much come anyway.

 

I know but now he has three posts in this topic to reply to, not including his own, makeing it easier for him.

 

Oh damn, here comes references to God again...

 

You know what, Charles, you're right. If your army isn't at least as big as the population of the country you're invading, you may as well not go there at all. After all, everyone knows you need to arrest people who want to desert and not fight your troops at all. I can't think of a greater incentive to throw down my gun and leave than being tossed into prison by the enemy for not putting up a good fight.

 

The man who desert the Iraq army are now in the Freedom Fighter Forces, and they desert with they assult rifles and ammo. You are talking about 400,000 men desert, may-be the Iraq Military plan this move.

Your army doesnot need to be equall to the invade nation population. Bush want to avoid Clinton Peace Keeping mission in the Balkan where in than total of 500,000 to 600,000 UN peacekeeper are employ.

In the 1990's some manpower analag said NY City only need 400 people in they police department due to hight tech improvement in societry. The Mayor tore up the report wisely.

 

If we had sent twice as many troops to Vietnam, the casualty list would have been twice as long. Sometimes numbers just can't make the difference. In those circumstances we should either deploy a nuke or sent in a few invicible super-soldiers. Or both.

 

In my opinion Nuclear Weapons are never an option, even in conjunction with supersoldiers.

 

Nuclear weapons never an option?.... that's crazy talk I tell's ya.

 

That the opion of the Empire that sent they agents here. Planets that can support our kind of life are rare than no bioweapon or nuclear weapon use
to captive one. Than space missile attrack have than change to knock than planetary Anti-nuclear Weapon Field they are general not use. They have Planetary Buster Nuclear Bomb(really than missiles) which can do major damage to than planet they arenot use as many of the other space power have them do, they take than very dim view of them being use and they get very nervous about they use and it you get in the habit of useing they might use some of they owm PBNB on your planets.

 

Lack of brainpower.

 

Bush Have no brain.

 

When the Germany launch they lighting war on France in 1940 they have 1 million man take part in the 6 day march from Sedan France to the sea.
Only 200,000 where mobile forces and 800,000 trad infranty forces. The regurate germany Infr handle pocket of residance , guard captice depots and POW and Brige across waterway. Mobile Infr did the job untril the regurate infr took over the job.

 

O Charles of No Brain, I was referring to you.

 

If you ever read history you will learn something. The French have four time the number of tanks the germany have, the french tank have more armor and biggest guns than the Germany Tank have. Then why didnot the French defeat the Germany in 1940.

America Neocom are trying to prove than military theory that stock and awe can make up for not haveing than enought man. In the 1920's the Germany Military carry out their own foregi polcy their make secert deal with Sweden, the USSR. The Germany Army test new theory on useing mobile forces in war with the Red Army. There they learn that Infr was just as inportant as tank in warfare, that stock and awe tactic willnot replace have more man than you think you need to job.

 

The French got overrun by the Germans for two reasons:

1) They were too busy eyeballing them across the Maginet Line, or whatever the hell it was called. The big ass line of fortresses and shit along the eastern French border which was essentially impregnable at the time.

2) They got flanked dumbass!

 

That and the french haven't sucessfully resisted invasion since the 1800's.

 

yea, they have a reputation...
