you do not represent any of NATO, you sound like one of those weekend-warrior kids that played one too many Call of Duty games and act like they are the NATO party on here. too bad for you, i am around here.
"let our more determined colleagues to die"?. so what are you?. the sock-counting magazine asshole way away in safety from enemy lines?. just your sentence alone is gut-wrenching to any front-line soldier no matter his origin,background or nationality.
whatever mistakes, fuckups and idiots the U.S does or send to fight their wars. its still troops/coffins going back home dead to fammilies you jackass. if you got such of a strong opinion about it maybe you want to contribute to the education and lecture to U.S troops and students of what they are getting into instead of throwing them to the meat grinder?. its easy to let someone else do the dying and combat for you doesnt it?.
with all respects to the mods on this forum. but i know when i smell a rat. and this is one of those cases.
Don't get Your panties in a twist mister. Sorry, did You say You are a war veteran or just veteran? I'm pretty sure I can claim myself as a veteran having never left my country in the uniform. Seen plenty of our ISAF guys coming back, didn't strike me as veterans of WW2 or Partisans fighting NKVD. No disrespect here, but just look what kind of responsibility falls on our region and You will understand. It was rebuilding mission for us, not fight against insurgency. SF guys are different talk, people I know who still serve are not bragging about it not even personally.
Did I even mention about NATO operations or internal structure or operations? I'm might be not aware of all smidgens but NATO is not monolith, I was never aware that there is such thing as NATO mentality.
Haha, mate, I don't want to drag this out, but can You explain me more about it?
nd do not even get me started on your "excited" comment on being drawn up supposedly for armed conflict. just the fact that i should spell out the reality of war for you explains enough on itself.
Oh common, it's weakness of opponent that attracts aggression. I'm pro militarist and I believe soft power is worth nothing. The more Europe and NATO will become weaker the more unstable region will be. Be it internal conflict or external.
And any war You think I'm preaching would be with less casualties than Ukrainian hooligan fight. Believe me, to fight war first they have to build army out of clay. And there is no clay, just shit.
you do not represent any of NATO, you sound like one of those weekend-warrior kids that played one too many Call of Duty games and act like they are the NATO party on here. too bad for you, i am around here.
Well I don't represent NATO now but technically I'm still on active reserves as anyone who already served in my country till the age of fifty something. And yes I was in the weekend warrior in Volunteer army KASP. And KASP was in the sandbox as well. I had personal reasons why I never applied for deployment.
"let our more determined colleagues to die"?. so what are you?. the sock-counting magazine asshole way away in safety from enemy lines?. just your sentence alone is gut-wrenching to any front-line soldier no matter his origin,background or nationality.
I was being nihilistic, but You failed to understand. My country men died because they where not allowed to shoot back! Of course tight ROE cost lives. But guess who draw these red lines- it's not soldiers.

No one told them to go. I could go and I didn't. I didn't see how it was more important to be away from my own country. Does it make sense? My relatives were sent by Soviet army to fight there without any say in that. You think if I really care about Afghans or cause of that meat grinder? What was achieved? They are not my brothers, this is not my fight, this war is yours.
