I didn't read anything in this thread, I'm just wondering how it lasted 5 pages without getting locked...

I mean they can't even shoot the right people half the time
I think if you were to look at the FF percentages, based on how many more missions & sorties the US military does compared to the Canadian or British forces, you'd see the friendly fire incidents fall within normal parameters, probably even below "normal", or at least below the FF incidents of previous wars...
If we shot the wrong ppl HALF THE TIME, you "guys" (UK & CAN) would have no military left by now...
Considering there will be no more territorial conquest wars as long as this current human civilization survives, we'll never truly get to compare...
The days of heavyweights going toe to toe are long gone...
No country in the Middle East is worth the USA fighting China or Russia over, it's just not going to happen...
I read today, that Iraq is planning to make a deal with the US military to have us keep 50k troops there (I knew we would), pretty much indefinitely... That puts a crimp in Iran's style. But is Russia or China going to try to remove us from Iraq because Iran doesn't like it? LOL... Sure...
All those years of US & Russian pilots training to kill one another, and they will never get the chance... What a shame... Would have been a nice challenge for my country...
Oh, and smaller, faster, less overhead is ALWAYS better, no matter what you're trying to organize... That's a no brainer.

Invading a country needs a lot of firepower but being able to secure a country is another ballgame
No military in the world could secure Iraq. Eventually, the Iraqi's will have to secure their country themselves, you just have to give them time.
It's the military's job to go out and kill another countries military, the US can do that better than anyone.
Securing a foreign nation is more political, and even cultural... Something the US and Iraq are not up to the challenge for... China, UK, Russia, none of their military forces could "secure Iraq"...
The military is for blowing stuff up, or a deterrent to other militaries who would like to blow your stuff up... There is no middle ground IMO...
The only way to win an urban war is to remove the "urban" part completely... Something NO military in the world will do these days...

I wonder, what are the odds of the EU getting a single integrated military within the next 10-20 years?
I don't see whay that would be so hard...
