Is that accurate? American pilot professionals discussing deep engagement in a European rematch with a Cold War equal..Ukraine Conflict. CRM, worthless required training, for sure this thread is exhibit worthy. Clearly I agree with ex in what has been an honest effort to apply relevant knowledge, experience, options, opinions, data/records/graphics directly critical of establishment strategies or lack thereof. Might be helpful to include some completive counterpoint posting. Anyone???

Recorded the farewell Mash episode I spotted looking for something else, a few months back. Watched last night, had not seen it since 1st aired in ‘83. They included reflections of cast members, taped recently. The guy who played BJ said, on the last days of combat in Korea (ballpark 2m casualties military/civilian) fighting was especially intense as result of ceasefire terms dropping the DMZ at the exact hour negotiated.

If there’s any legitimate Western intent to end senseless loss of life while perusing lasting overthrow of Communist authoritarian tyranny, not one NATO leader has backed such a path. Why not, one can only speculate.

Look at trench warfare in WWI. Almost as many died of disease as combat wounds. You wallow around in filth for weeks at a time - even before mud season. And I doubt the Russians have it any better - likely even worse. Two conscript armies, dying of trauma and disease.

Nothing glorious about being in conditions where just a scratch - or even just standing there - can make you rot away.

Some real news:
-russian attempt to encircle avdiivka has stalled. Their “blitzkrieg” didnt make it more than a thousand meters for the loss of about 40 tanks and 90 apcs.

-for the first time Ukrainians are now shooting more artillery rounds per day than the RU

-A btr-50 was confirmed destroyed
(btr-50s were built 70 years ago)
