As a soldier i'm in f*cking awe, i'm just glad i live in Poland not in Russia or USA, facing a conflict with a nation that has such discipline is just not funny at all.

No military that has ever passed inspection has never survived combat...and no military that has ever survived combat has passed inspection.

There's a need for spit and polish to preserve good order and discipline...on the other hand, too much emphasis on it means one is spending valuable time looking pretty while marching, instead of training for war. I'd be much more interested to see how they perform in the field.

Lovely gibberish that hides the fact that US of A has nothing even close to that level of discipline, not even close.

Newscast for you, looking pretty while marching like that conveys more than just rehearsals, thats discipline with a major D.

You can buy equipment with money, you can't buy this sort of mad robot like dedication, quite frankly a US soldier looks like an utter p*ssy by comparison.

As for how China performs? They build cities in the time it takes us to buid houses so i imagine a culture like that breeds an impressive army.

Marching dont mean ****, how well do you think a bunch of city boys who have maching burned into their brains will survive on a battlefield?
China has nothing like the armament required to take on the Usa and has a pretty poor military track record.
Good troll dude.

I'd love to take you out on patrol with my platoon any time and I would show you the discipline that the US of A Army has. Looking good and being good are two very different things. I wonder how much time the PLA spends training in combined arms exercises at the brigade level or higher, COIN, MOUT, and subordinate leader developement. I wonder how much initiative commanders and small unit leaders are encouraged to have in the PLA. I wonder how a private to a buck sergeant can continue mission with just commanders intent when all other leaders are not present. I would imagine they still have a long way to go. We're not robots in the US military. We are tought and mentored to be flexible and capable from the bottom up. Talk all the crap you want, our track record on the actual battlefield is beyond repproach... China's on the other hand...not so much. The average american soldier spends at least 180 days in the field when not deployed...I wonder how much time a chinese soldier spends in the field?

BTW, are you trying to pick a fight? Or do you generally attack anyone with a different opinion than you?

Yes yes i'm sure we're all navy seals in here )))) I've seen you guys "perform" in Afghanistan, if China fights as it marches it can eat you alive.

I can see where this is going. You're trying to pick a fight. I'm not going to take the bait. I don't have anything to prove to you. Good day and good luck with that whole bullying bit.

Yeah, my unit couldn't parade to save our lives. We were too busy training for other stuff.

Funnily enough, I feel that there is a bloody good chance that he is a lot closer to the truth than we would like to admit, although it need not be necessarily achieved by force.

The Chinese are well on their way already, they are fast becoming the world's financial powerhouse, and while we have taken our eye off the ball by concentrating on the Islamic terrorism, they have made great inroads in many developing countries. Some, like the Congo are unbelievably rich in vital "war minerals", chromium, cobalt and other rare earths, they are also serious contenders for favor in a number of oil producing states.

The reaction in this thread reminds me of the way people wrote off the Japanese threat prior to their arrival in WWII. When they made such stupid remarks as, Asians will never be great troops because their eyes preclude them from being able to shoot accurately, they are too short, and suffer from poor nutrition,... and all manner of other rubbish.

It's attitudes like those being displayed here, thinking that our position is unassailable, that could well be our downfall.

Well you can have the largest most disciplined army in the world, and it wouldn't mean f*** all if you don't have air superiority or a stronger navy than your opponent. (The US has both of the above.) Oh and Panzercracker, troll harder, I've said my piece and I refuse to argue with someone who refuses to acknowledge that other people have different viewpoints and attacks them if they do.
