Let's have a reasonable and friendly discussion about military affairs all over the world---Can We Do It?


The question begs an answer, and I do believe that we 'can' do it (and be civil).  So, let's give it a try.  Please, no rants/rages and please no soapboxes (if that's even possible, lol.)  We aren't here to 'attack' anyone or put anyone down.  We're here to discuss, in friendly ways... OUR ideas of the world's military forces and how they ARE being used today and possibly (in OUR opinion) how they 'should' be used today.

Any military unit in any military branch (world wide) is fodder for this discussion.  Love it, hate it, indifferent to it...does not matter, just be civil and truthful and tell us how you view it and your ideas on how it 'is' or 'should' be used in our world of today.  Things for discussion include, weapons...individual arms or machines and or BIG GUNS including planes/tanks/choppers/medical units/hospitals/clothing/food/gear/radios/etc also Tactics, Deployments and so on.  Anything present-day military (within reason, again keeping it civil and purely thought provoking/interesting.)

Have fun with this!

S!

Wait a minute... just had a thought!  :o

Is this topic TOO big for a single thread ...or should I do a side forum so we can actually NAME the country and or unit we're discussing at the time?

For instance;  say I wanted to discuss the current British military... If there was a forum set up for such discussions I could simply start a NEW thread under the title of 'current British Army (or Navy or whatever) and start my discussion.  Interested parties could simply come into the new thread there and comment/discuss?

This would (fingers crossed) keep everything tidy and un-muddy?   :-\

What say you?

Come on let's hear from you on this!  If you're interested in all things military, current militaries around the world and or how such militaries function peacetime/war/deployment/etc... this should be fun for you!  What say you on a forum about this (say a child forum to the Pub here?)

Right Russ... agreed.  But what I'm looking for here is a genuine discussion of the inner workings of the different types of service... and what people think of them/how they perceive them...I.E. their thoughts about them (spoken with civil tones, of course.)  Also their use by their respective countries, I.E. their deployment in and out of their respective countries...in other words their duties/actions/missions, and how everyone sees those deployments/duties/missions.

For instance, if one wanted to speak of say the US Marine Corp then they might start the discussion by giving a little background about the Corp, both on original startup and it's evolution plus a current more modern look at it's missions/actions continuing on with ideas about it's weapons, kit, training, deployment across the globe from anything as small as a small embassy deployment somewhere on a tiny island to a BIG force stationed in a BIG base in the USA or elsewhere.

That sort of thing... and of course everyone's thoughts (long as they're civil) are welcome.  And so on for French units, German units, Brits, and so on.

S!

Well, as you can see, I have gone ahead and created a 'modern' military board discussion room.

Rules are simple... when you get ready to discuss a NEW military unit, simple create a new thread NAMING that unit (for instance US Marine, or British Marine or French Navy or whatever.)  In the new thread, simply post your thoughts on them (civilly and with due respect of course...sure you can gripe about them but do it cordially and with awareness of others...in other words, NO SLANDER or undue ACCUSATIONS stirring up trouble.  Simply use common, cordial sense!)

Once a thread has been created, unless there's some sort of update/spin-off of the that particular topic, please stay within the particular topic you're posting about to make posts concerning the topic's heading.  (In other words don't make a NEW topic about US Marines if there's already a topic started about them.  Any comments/thoughts, etc for US Marines would go inside the ALREADY created topic (if there is one) about US Marines.)  An exception to this, the US Navy for instance, 'might' be different and might require a NEW topic for say, US Navy Seal Team Units... and so on.  Get the idea?

 ;)

Any questions?  This is the thread to ask in!   ;D

I've started the ball rolling with this boards 'first' post about a fave military unit of mine... The French Foreign Legion.

French Foreign Legion (createaforum.com)

I've done a sort of historical aspect/slant to it but YOU don't have to go that route unless you want to.  But, feel welcome to use my method for your own topic...if you want!

Hi, guys!
Its about war in Ukraine.
At 02/21/2023 into the bus station in Kherson city russians fired a few shells of BM-21 from the left bank of the Dnieper river.
Killed 5 people 21 wounded.

Here's the face of war after it:
