Making it way cheaper and faster to transport both people and manufactured goods and components, bringing all costs down.

Sergeant Major of the Army said this, "I've seen a lot of combat, I've never been in a war". It's a poignant distinction, big difference between asymmetric warfare and fighting a modern force like the Chinese or Russians. For the uninitiated, the magnitude of conventional munitions is 10x, likely more, than what our forefathers faced in WW2. A full scale war against a peer enemy would be devastating for all involved even if it didn't go nuclear. In short, play stupid games, win stupid prizes.
@@CptFugu When talking heads speak in terms of 'fighting' & 'winning', they're either naive or liars. Whichever it is, they nor their sons will pay the piper for the tune, the common man does.
It is military drone exercise or experiment , and white house spokesman said that these drones were not a threat, because miltary drone exercise is highly confidential and whitehouse do not need an explaination to be the public.
He didnt and neither have the Chinese. We ended up in Chosin because Macarthur was a f up, got surrounded (Army, brits, ROK and Corps) and they walked out taking on all comers. So the last major conflict the Chinese were in they lost 50000 to US 6000 (dont think that figures ROK or Brits) so they won by losing almost half of their entire force, and we all know that not every person that goes out is infantry, so they probably lost almost every infantryman they sent out. Oil and canvas is hyperbole, however in black and white isnt.
What does the USMC fighting capability have to do with incoming HGVs? These leaders are pushing up against PLARF, which has built concentric rings all the way out to Guam. Any engagement on the island means you can pull out a stop watch, start the countdown and then turn to dust. China has a multi-thousand year combat record, with a specialty in archery battles. They've got the coming conflict fully dialed and have been prepped for the past 20yrs.
The problem with many commissioned officers is they are politicians first and war fighters second. Petty politics should not take priority over war fighting capabilities, but they only care about advancing their careers.
THE PROBLEM HERE IS WE AMERICANS ARE OBSESSED WITH GUNS AND OUR MILITARISM IS AN EXTENSION OF OUR LOVE FOR VIOLENCE AT HOME AND ABROAD.. THIS CENTURY IS ABOUT TRADE, ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT, POVERTY ELIMINATION, INNOVATION NOT SPENDING TRILLIONS ON STUPID WARS TO BOOST OUR OVER INFLATED EGOS. OUR WARS ARE ECONOMICALLY SELF DESTRUCTIVE.
"We've identified the enemy, and it is us." Only in this sense, the enemy is the upper echelon of officers who are out of touch with reality and whose arrogance is outmatched only by their stupidity. Lord help us.
The chinese are rolling their eyes at this guy. The U.S. has a difficult time fighting forces with less tech and poorer logistical support. Imagine fighting a force comparable to the U.S.
Americans don't know that in China's 5,000-year history, there have been nearly 4,000 wars, an average of one war a year. The last 40 years have been the longest period of peace in China's history. China had the Sun Tzu's Art of War more than 2,000 years ago, and now an American general telling us that there is no culture of war? This American general apparently mistook the fights and shootings on the streets of America as war. 😂
Also Americans don't know that the population of late Han Dynasty was around 50 million of people. From late Han Dynasty until the end of Three Kingdom period was only 60 years. The population dropped from 50 millions to 7 millions, we had almost extincted ourselves for unification. Americans can try to stop China from unification, let's see what will happen. 😂
You realize there are programs in the DoD to recruit foreign nationals, yea? It’s a good thing to have people in the ranks who have native-level proficiency in culture and language. Need to think more deeply about layered defense… we had Iraqis and Afghans in our ranks and it helped tremendously in certain cases. Also, what a great way to attract an adversary and collect their info and their intent. Doesn’t mean they will join the Navy or be a radar tech. Also, the commandant is a service provider-supplies Marines to the GCC. The other is a consumer of troops. One has to be careful w/ what he says, the other has license to promote lethality. How do you not know this?
To brag about more combat experiences and say the other side doesn’t have any is like admitting ,” we are the war mongers, and they are the peaceful ones”🤦
As a Chinese citizen,I think he is telling the facts on that part, American military do have more modern war combat experiences than the PLA,and we are indeed much more peaceful than you.
There was Chinese Comunist regular army soldiers fighting alongside NVA soldiers in vietnam . It surprised me he didn't know that as well. It's well documented.
Not to mention they were fighting the Japanese for years before world War 2 officially even broke out. And over 200000 Chinese fought along side North Korea during that conflict as well, just after a grueling and devastating Civil War. This is all simple and available information. These people don't know what they are talking about.
Why should we go to war with anyone? Being an empire is not what the founders envisioned or sought-after. They fought against the empire of their day ffs.
See that type of thinking from Senior leadership like them was reason why my Uncle US Army 2ID in 1951 got POW/MIA in Korean War when China step into it. And still till this day after Afghanistan and Iraq we still have not learned not to underestimate our opponents.
Interesting. China's last war was captured in oil and canvas, during Korean war. So, can we say China are not warmonger? US last war was capture on an iPhone, can we can US is warmonger. Since, China''s army is inexperience, there is nothing to worry about. Why then send an army over? Money could be better spend else where.
…last time the US and China fought they agreed to freeze the conflict on the 38th parallel. That war wasn’t won by China, but neither was it won by the US of A. When was the last time the US of A fought a (near) peer? To add another argument, if China is supposed to be the dangerous destabilizing factor, how does its limited military experience translate to conflicts, does it not indicate that China seems to be more peaceful than the US of A if we compare the number of wars and conflicts, especially the recent ones the General is bragging about? The general is probably too honest in admitting there are US boots on the ground in Taiwan, the Admiral is political / diplomatic.
@@JamesonsTravels Indications are that we have 30,000 Chinese army soldiers here as a result of the open border. They won't need to work because the CCP will support them, so they can be impossible to find.
Yes there are quite a few, and occasionally one will get detained for selling or giving info to their homeland, but the navy keeps taking them on anyway.
Not having international control of the South China Sea and the Taiwan Straits is suicidal. Might as well give up our global status if that happens. Seems like a lot of Americans don't understand basic geography.
The Afghanistan War (2001-2021) cost the American taxpayer $US 2.4 trillion and achieved nothing. China from 2008 to 2024 spent about $US 1trillion on a high speed rail network. Now it has 46,000 km of high speed rail traveling up to 350 kph. The US has no high speed rail.
The longer I’m in the military, the more concern I’ve become. 17 years. We went from talking about being the strongest, baddest force in the world, to talking about how we need to care about everyone’s “identity” more. Commanders at unit level can’t make sense of things. Dealing with the demands of flying programs, a force who is apathetic, couple with legacy aircraft and limited sustainability…not to mention a focus on diversity, the killer of unity. We gotta come home, and we gotta get back to the basics!
The issues have never been about our troops, training, equipment, etc. Our problems always begin and end with the leadership; ROE, service rivalry politics, etc.
that officer forgot that China owns more than $859.4 billion in U.S. debt and if it is willing to lose money to win a war don't forget how the great depression started
my point is if China demands the immediate payment of US debt by selling it on the open market what happens best case for the USA is higher interest rates economic slowdown fear and confusion in the US populace and the worst more debt owners decide to do it due to the actions of US politicians America is not the most loved nation in the world all of this is speculation and by the grace of god may we never find out
Why the disconnect? Because one is focused on service component issues and the other is a combatant commander. One can talk. The other has to actually fight.
3:30 yeah... You fought the bare footed woth AK's and RPG's , with air cover, awacs, missiles, etc etc, and you left after 20 years realising that you made a whole in water! Well done!
Propaganda won VN. As per the book by the VN gen in command. They were about to bail before the Fonda's started to have influence in DC. After that, he knew all he had to do was hold on. Not attacking his infrastructure was a political decision that made it eaiser.
American schools cant produce enough high quality engineers to compete. Now even the military has to recruit Chinese officers 🤣 WWIII was over before it started!
They easily won that war. It was the Afghanistan government that fell, not the U.S. military, but you'll never understand that simple fact. If Japan takes over U.S. bases tomorrow does that mean the U.S. lost to Japan in WW2?

Dude clearly has not read "unrestricted warfare" a couple Chinese officers explain how they would fight America in a war. Ironic considering it's contents are "guerrilla" type tactics and with MCDP the Marine Corp seem to be adopting and understanding guerrilla tactics.
LOL, the marines invented guerilla warfare and unrestricted tactics. The marines motto from the beginning is "If you're not cheating, you're not trying."
@@cubed0724 Actually, the PLA were the pioneers of unconventional warfare...their entire army was built around UW and SUT, winning several wars with that doctrine.
@@SomeBody-rm6hf No, the US was the pioneer, they were doing it back during the founding of the country. You look at warfare prior to America Revolution, it was the traditional two armies stand opposed and shoot each other. The Americans were the first to use unconventional warfare. Sorry, but you don't have historical facts on your side. And China hasn't won a war since WWII.
Where you got your History degree,from McDonald's university? Guerilla warfare originated in Spain Prior to that from West Standpoint the Father of Guerilla Warfare would be Quintus Fabius Maximus Verrucosus, widely regarded as the "father of guerrilla warfare" of his time, devised the Fabian strategy which was used to great effect against Hannibal's army during the Second Punic War. On East you Go 4000 years Back to China, While guerrilla tactics can be viewed as a natural continuation of prehistoric warfare, the Chinese general and strategist Sun Tzu, in his The Art of War (6th century BCE), was the earliest to propose the use of guerrilla warfare. Marshall Tito (Yugoslavi my Country)used also guerrilla warfare. Your Country is Not even 300 Year old and you invented the History? Stay in your lane Jake.@@cubed0724
Those military leaders both sounded like bumbling fool. They couldn’t even put a sentence together. Except the boomer who just had to repeat his little zinger one more time . Absolute disgrace What a bunch of fools
One enlisted Infantryman in the Civil War said that America had legs that were swift enough to pursue any foe, and arms that were powerful enough to subdue any foe, but didn’t have the brains to use its limbs properly. Unfortunately, we're in the same situation. We need less George McClellans and more George Pattons.
Im curious, how many experienced and good NCO’s and Officers did we lose due to being kicked out for refusing to take the jab? Seems like all we may have left is “yes men” who’s only priority is to further their careers.
and in that region. they can't even agree in a public facing forum. flexing. not knowing China's history of war. talking about drones when a ballon and now drones from the ccp fly overhead. wow.
“Military Leaders” these days are bureaucrats and not warriors. Seeking next promotion(s) and trying to look and sound good. Pushing DEI instead of pushing for improved lethality and remembering and learning lessons from past conflicts/wars. Plus over reliance on China gives us zero leverage. US politicians and business have made deal with the devil and the devil wants to get paid.
“In the councils of government, we must guard against the acquisition of unwarranted influence, whether sought or unsought, by the military-industrial complex. The potential for the disastrous rise of misplaced power exists and will persist.”
The German military in 1939 was not composed of large numbers of combat vets at the fighting unit level. Same for US Army and Air Force in Desert Storm. Armies that lost in particular, and went into a long period of self assessment and systematic redevelopment in a strategic lull have emerged to upend the history of warfare. Military professionals of yesteryear, steeped in history and theory of the profession of arms, knew that nations create the most effective combat organizations during periods of peace when you can modernize, experiment, train and develop without the pressing issues of a current fight. Combat vets get very skilled at the fight they are currently in but over time organizations lose effectiveness for the next fight if engaged in persistent combat. There's the whole organizational dynamic where you learn bad habits and generally apply all the wrong lessons in the next war. These are the kind of historic strategic lessons four star generals should consider rather than bleating empty repetitive slogans about oil and canvas.
The Marines that were sent to Taiwan were small boat tactics instructors. There is a big difference between sending an augmentation force and a dozen instructors.
Last time we "won" 1945. Last time congress declared war was 1941. Somehow we never conquered opponents since the 1947 act unless you count Grenada or Desert Storm where we limited our actions until we went back.
who agrees we should get our asses home and or "Dug in" where we have real vested interest.. but ya.. GET HOME and focus on the AMERICAS. give china whats chinese.. n give the russians what they already took.
Underestimate the enemy at your own peril. China's not without experience, their last wars were the Korean and Vietnam wars fought against the US and allies. The Korean war ended in stalemate with no clear winner, and some would argue the US lost in Vietnam.
No clear winner? ? On June 25, 1950, China warned the United States for the first time not to cross the 38th Parallel in North Korea. On October 19, 1950, the Chinese Volunteer Army entered the Korean battlefield. On July 27, 1953, the Korean Armistice Agreement was signed with the 38th Parallel as the boundary. So in the Korean War, did the Chinese achieve their initial goal, or did the Americans achieve their goal of annihilating North Korea? ? Although the Chinese did not send troops to participate in the Vietnam War, hundreds of Chinese professional soldiers joined the North Vietnamese army as advisors, so who unified Vietnam in the end? ?
The U.S. military and its European allies seem alarmingly out of touch with the current global reality. It appears they fail to realize how their tactics and technology, revealed in conflicts like those in Iraq, Afghanistan, and now against the Houthis, have provided future adversaries with valuable insights on how to counter them.

That was hard to watch. Total incompetence.
Sergeant Major of the Army said this, "I've seen a lot of combat, I've never been in a war". It's a poignant distinction, big difference between asymmetric warfare and fighting a modern force like the Chinese or Russians. For the uninitiated, the magnitude of conventional munitions is 10x, likely more, than what our forefathers faced in WW2. A full scale war against a peer enemy would be devastating for all involved even if it didn't go nuclear. In short, play stupid games, win stupid prizes.
Yup. War is bad. Second place isn't far away even if it's by sheer numbers.

Taiwan is part of China
Not a USA matter
He didnt and neither have the Chinese. We ended up in Chosin because Macarthur was a f up, got surrounded (Army, brits, ROK and Corps) and they walked out taking on all comers. So the last major conflict the Chinese were in they lost 50000 to US 6000 (dont think that figures ROK or Brits) so they won by losing almost half of their entire force, and we all know that not every person that goes out is infantry, so they probably lost almost every infantryman they sent out. Oil and canvas is hyperbole, however in black and white isnt.
Many do not doubt the USMC fighting capabilities, but many also do not doubt on the USMC Leadership in screwing things up.
What does the USMC fighting capability have to do with incoming HGVs? These leaders are pushing up against PLARF, which has built concentric rings all the way out to Guam. Any engagement on the island means you can pull out a stop watch, start the countdown and then turn to dust. China has a multi-thousand year combat record, with a specialty in archery battles. They've got the coming conflict fully dialed and have been prepped for the past 20yrs.
The problem with many commissioned officers is they are politicians first and war fighters second. Petty politics should not take priority over war fighting capabilities, but they only care about advancing their careers.
USMC 2024 isn't the same USMC laying down pipe on everything hostile era 1990's-2010. Don't you forget that lmao

@kenc9236 Then there's "furries" painted hair and pronouns. We're in serious trouble.
Americans don't know that in China's 5,000-year history, there have been nearly 4,000 wars, an average of one war a year. The last 40 years have been the longest period of peace in China's history. China had the Sun Tzu's Art of War more than 2,000 years ago, and now an American general telling us that there is no culture of war? This American general apparently mistook the fights and shootings on the streets of America as war. 😂
Also Americans don't know that the population of late Han Dynasty was around 50 million of people. From late Han Dynasty until the end of Three Kingdom period was only 60 years. The population dropped from 50 millions to 7 millions, we had almost extincted ourselves for unification. Americans can try to stop China from unification, let's see what will happen. 😂

It’s a good thing to have people in the ranks who have native-level proficiency in culture and language.

As a Chinese citizen,I think he is telling the facts on that part, American military do have more modern war combat experiences than the PLA,and we are indeed much more peaceful than you.
And that’s exactly my thought as well.

See that type of thinking from Senior leadership like them was reason why my Uncle US Army 2ID in 1951 got POW/MIA in Korean War when China step into it. And still till this day after Afghanistan and Iraq we still have not learned not to underestimate our opponents.
Interesting. China's last war was captured in oil and canvas, during Korean war. So, can we say China are not warmonger? US last war was capture on an iPhone, can we can US is warmonger. Since, China''s army is inexperience, there is nothing to worry about. Why then send an army over? Money could be better spend else where.
WTF really? Are we nuts?
oh yeah. just out of a think tank deal. 2 leaders can't even agree on our policy. wow. full video in description. you got the best of it
…last time the US and China fought they agreed to freeze the conflict on the 38th parallel.
That war wasn’t won by China, but neither was it won by the US of A.
When was the last time the US of A fought a (near) peer?
To add another argument, if China is supposed to be the dangerous destabilizing factor, how does its limited military experience translate to conflicts, does it not indicate that China seems to be more peaceful than the US of A if we compare the number of wars and conflicts, especially the recent ones the General is bragging about?
The general is probably too honest in admitting there are US boots on the ground in Taiwan, the Admiral is political / diplomatic.

don't forget how the great depression started
And made the phone that recorded our last combat mission.
Russia lost $300B having its money frozen in the west but still going strong so what's your point?
my point is if China demands the immediate payment of US debt by selling it on the open market what happens best case for the USA is higher interest rates economic slowdown fear and confusion in the US populace and the worst
more debt owners decide to do it due to the actions of US politicians America is not the most loved nation in the world all of this is speculation and by the grace of god may we never find out

Where you got your History degree,from McDonald's university?
Guerilla warfare originated in Spain
Prior to that from West Standpoint the Father of Guerilla Warfare would be Quintus Fabius Maximus Verrucosus, widely regarded as the "father of guerrilla warfare" of his time, devised the Fabian strategy which was used to great effect against Hannibal's army during the Second Punic War.
On East you Go 4000 years Back to China, While guerrilla tactics can be viewed as a natural continuation of prehistoric warfare, the Chinese general and strategist Sun Tzu, in his The Art of War (6th century BCE), was the earliest to propose the use of guerrilla warfare.
Marshall Tito (Yugoslavi my Country)used also guerrilla warfare.

So starting a war with a country that have nukes, smart move bojo..
The German military in 1939 was not composed of large numbers of combat vets at the fighting unit level. Same for US Army and Air Force in Desert Storm. Armies that lost in particular, and went into a long period of self assessment and systematic redevelopment in a strategic lull have emerged to upend the history of warfare. Military professionals of yesteryear, steeped in history and theory of the profession of arms, knew that nations create the most effective combat organizations during periods of peace when you can modernize, experiment, train and develop without the pressing issues of a current fight. Combat vets get very skilled at the fight they are currently in but over time organizations lose effectiveness for the next fight if engaged in persistent combat. There's the whole organizational dynamic where you learn bad habits and generally apply all the wrong lessons in the next war. These are the kind of historic strategic lessons four star generals should consider rather than bleating empty repetitive slogans about oil and canvas.
The Marines that were sent to Taiwan were small boat tactics instructors. There is a big difference between sending an augmentation force and a dozen instructors.
Can someone tell this dude Chinese fought Japanese for like 10 years during the 1940s lol
In addition to him not being so smart, he was awarded a purple heart and never wounded in combat, what kind of nonsense is going on in our military
How can you get a purple heart without getting wounded by enemy?
Last time we "won" 1945. Last time congress declared war was 1941. Somehow we never conquered opponents since the 1947 act unless you count Grenada or Desert Storm where we limited our actions until we went back.

You're as clever as N. Chamberlain in 1939

It's not as easy as just saying so.
Underestimate the enemy at your own peril. China's not without experience, their last wars were the Korean and Vietnam wars fought against the US and allies.
The Korean war ended in stalemate with no clear winner, and some would argue the US lost in Vietnam.
No clear winner? ? On June 25, 1950, China warned the United States for the first time not to cross the 38th Parallel in North Korea. On October 19, 1950, the Chinese Volunteer Army entered the Korean battlefield. On July 27, 1953, the Korean Armistice Agreement was signed with the 38th Parallel as the boundary. So in the Korean War, did the Chinese achieve their initial goal, or did the Americans achieve their goal of annihilating North Korea? ? Although the Chinese did not send troops to participate in the Vietnam War, hundreds of Chinese professional soldiers joined the North Vietnamese army as advisors, so who unified Vietnam in the end? ?
Oh boy the military brass is all screwed up like the non combat experienced brass we had in Vietnam!
The U.S. military and its European allies seem alarmingly out of touch with the current global reality. It appears they fail to realize how their tactics and technology, revealed in conflicts like those in Iraq, Afghanistan, and now against the Houthis, have provided future adversaries with valuable insights on how to counter them.
