I don't even find the model of "light, medium, heavy" to be helpful - it is something contrived by doctrine writers that appears to justify existing structures and equipment acquisition, but does not help the discussion. For the sake of the discussion: Any vehicle, even the heaviest, can be...

Did you read the report and determine what this committee made its findings upon? Words to the effect that that Israel "knew that civilians would die, and conducted a war anyways." If every act of war is genocide, then no act of war is genocide.

Bridge limits aren't very useful, considering most will likely be blown up. I would say the fuel and maintenance requirement of a 42 tonne vehicle, which weighs more than a Bradley or a LAV 6, makes it "heavy" in its requirements.

That's like saying "let's not win 20-0, lets try to win 4-3." The problem with medium platforms is that they are no longer light and easy to maintain, so you may as well ship a tank over. The new doctrine states that Medium Cavalry is "optimized to find, shape and defeat the enemy in the...

Medium cavalry should be a combined arms organization and not a branch pure construct designed to save units without tanks. It also lacks and linkage to a higher order warfighting concept - what am I going to do with a "medium cavalry regiment" if its optimal employment lies in pairing it up...

While I understand your distinction between law enforcement and military targeting, is there value in strict separation the two concepts with some of these groups? One could argue that the narcos have done the blending with their activities.

We still haven't fixed the problem of them falling apart because of flash heating up the glue....

Could we call it a merchant marine?

I saved this for good reason - perspective is always useful.

I can't take those instructors seriously when they do that. There are ways to stress candidates without making yourself look like a wailing buffoon.

I think I saw this guy at a Coldplay concert....

I thought this was pretty good.

You do realize that a Mechanized Division is more than just 3x manoeuvre brigades?

Why? A party is a party, you vote for your representative. If the representative doesn't do what the constituents voted for, they can turf them. That said, I think recall legislation should be put in place to hold Parliamentarians to account at all times.

Odd that a guy from a party that lost like it did would try and flex on one of the most successful Conservative politicians ever.

Seems like the scouting is similar for Hellebyuk now.

They have cult standing now, as they played for Game 1 and people have linked it to the Kings beating down the Oilers. Maybe 2019 version of Gloria....

This is pretty much it.

What happens if the vehicle cannot access a place to support the section or platoon?

The biggest threat to a SPG is not longer CB, its loitering munitions that get them before they shoot, not before they scoot.
