BF2S Forums Does The US Millitary Care more about life than Other Countries Army's

I would like to be captured by greenlandic forces... THEY DONT HAVE ANY GET IT HARHARHAR

But of you are captured, you only need to state your name, rank and number. No more. Even if you know "something". The us have rearly respected this little fact. Interrogation? POW are not to be interrogated in the first place! Geneva convetion that the US have signed, states this.

My point was that the convention is outdated to the classefication of a combatant. You meen that it is OK to force information beond name, rank, dob and number? Or was i reading you worng?

When it comes to interrogation. My army instructor toled me that they come with either smokes or a gun. Revard or torture. Often a combination for best effekt.

what is this propaganda? just like i saw something last night about the 10 best military vehicles THEY WHERE ALL AMERICAN!
i know the us army has good stuff but i am sure other country's have great stuff aswell.

wtF?!! are u sure u saw the whole thing? coz i think the best military vehicle is the german tiger tank (bf1942 anyone?) but i did saw the top 10 best military aircraft, some of them were russian, most were US...

being captured by the US is a hell lot better than being captured by any other country, well, being captured like china is a joke, give them 20 usd and they'll let u go

It depends on the program, but the programs I see on the Discovery channel usually show the top 10 vehicles of the 20th century. And it usually goes across several countries. Typically they are major countries, like Britain, Russia, Germany, and USA. I don't know what program you saw, but out of all the ones I have seen, they usually show a bunch of vehicles from across the world and across the 20th century. Sometimes they do give America more representation, but when you spend half a trillion dollars on your military, and that is 5 times more than any other country... You should expect to be on the top most of the time. 10 Fighter aircraft program, the top plane was the p-51, and they had several other US planes, along with the ME-242, a MiG, and a Yak.

America, and many other countries in the world, many spend billions, or even trillions, on their defence budget, but, at the same time, they lack the understanding of how to wage war in the modern world - how to use force so it has a utility, so it solves the problems that it sets out to solve.

The United States is the only country to spend anywhere near a trillion dollars. It spends roughly 400-600 billion dollars a year. The rest of the world altogether roughly spends the same amount when you add all the countries up. Russia and China are a couple of the few that spend double digit billions. The militaries of the world are usually quite good at waging war, thats what they are trained to do, modern world or not, some things have definitely changed, the military(at least in the US) is taking on a larger political role than they have in the past but essentially it is the same. A military's use is to destroy, take, and hold areas. Its the job of the politicians to make sure what they are doing solves problems. But for the most part, wars in the past and probably the future will be not used to solve problems elsewhere but to solve a problem inside the country waging the war. Nobody complained or did anything about China's taking over of Tibet. Or Russia not letting Chechnya to secede. Hitler thought used his military to solve the problem that he perceived, and that was the Jews were reponsible for the problems with Germany, so he set to solve them by killing them, so its not always as easy as saying "solve this problem".

Google to the rescue! http://military.discovery.com/convergen … opten.html Thankfully discovery has an easy to use website

Actually, they haven't even been patrolling air space...They didn't reach initial operational capability until the 15th of this month.  They've just been flying for test and evaluation at a few bases.

Mig 15 and F86 Sabre are the Same German designed aircraft taken from a Factory over run during the last days of WWII. We got the Scientist The USSR got the Blue prints ( intresting that Europeans wanted to be Captured by the evil USA Hmmmm. )

The USSR's Mig 15 got G.B.'s jet engines to use as they didnt have the technology devoloped themselves
and the USSR couldn't make a full plexiglass hood.

The USA's F 86 had the adjustable Elevator tail and other Transsonic flight features due to Chuck Yeagers X1 Exp aircraft flight experinces.

Otherwise they were the same plane.

basicly in US airspace

So I guess the Police Chief going down to the donut shop to get grub is "Out on Patrol" too?

And Norway, I think is one of those countries where civil service is a requirement, so I would imagine they have a manual, that pretty much everyone gets. Whether its true or not, I do not know, but that is funny. I would never fire the last round, depending on who I would be surrendering too.
