We are serfs.
Could be they're just retarded and fucked up? It does happen...
Quit trying to newfag me, newfag.
Great argument, civilian.
If we're picking and choosing, the same can be said for pt. Some of the reasoning why acft is now supposed to be job related, as opposed to universal pt standards.
Absolutely. And that's why they're back to reviewing the whole damn thing to see if it even makes sense. Standardized PT is stupid and usually counter-productive, mainly because you're always going to be setting the bar too low for most people. The ACFT is no exception, nor is the APFT (of course). The reality is that standardized tests are a terrible way of measuring the fitness of a highly diverse population of people doing a wide range of jobs. The fitness standards should be set be set at the battalion level and PT should be overseen by company grade officers to ensure the standards are being met. This would be how they did it prior to the APFT being introduced. This would also require far more leadership, integrity, ingenuity, and dedication than most officers posses, so it's not much more realistic than the standardized tests. But at least we wouldn't be deluding ourselves into believing we can reduce people to mere numbers and expect uniform results.
I think there's value in basic qualification and marksmanship
There is, just not at the basic training stage of a soldier's career. They can learn plenty when they get to their unit, and it will be far more efficient and safer.
The ambush on Lynch' s unit is maybe a cautionary tale.
It's certainly a cautionary tale, just not for rifle marksmanship.
This also reeks far less of cost efficiency
Have you ever been to basic training??
and more about physically weak or otherwise inept recruits (also dropping standards to suit agendas).
Not sure what marksmanship has to do with strength. I don't think you're picking up what I'm putting down. I'm not talking about dropping all rifle marksmanship for everyone across the board forever and just shortening basic training. I'm saying put that burden on their gaining units, where it already is anyway, and spend the time and resources on more important things in basic training, like more effective soldierizing methods. Do you have any idea how much time is wasted just moving recruits to and from the range? Or how much time is wasted having all those recruits sitting around waiting to use the range? It eats up an entire training day just to have each recruit go out and shoot 40 rounds. Tell me how cost efficient that is...
They did it by not taking their oath seriously and by deluding themselves about what makes someone a domestic enemy. Basic corruption. Just accuse anyone trying to do the right thing of x, y, and z.
Warn? This is a threat. Or a promise. I mean, we all knew this was coming. It likely would have happened even if Trump was still in control. The Chinese are running on fumes and it's now or never. With Biden, they have a best case scenario.
They wouldn't even consider doing this if that wasn't the goal and they were already going to decide that that had happened.
People may think this is a joke poll. It is not. I would literally trust any random hobo, regardless of their political leanings, over the likes of those three.
Facts and even reality itself is "violence" to the liberal brain.
He can if we do the rigging...
This is brilliant. Because not only the gay wedding cake angle, but also the liberals hate guns angle. Why should any liberal be buying guns or ammo? I would hope every gun shop does this. Then when the civil war hits it will be even MORE one-sided!
Cool, we're still diving tea leaves!
The video they post literally ends after the 10th shot.
There are only two of the three cannons firing.
I doubt this means anything.
I was going to try addressing all your points (which are HILARIOUSLY misinformed), but it's obvious you've never served and have no idea what basic training is like... or what weapons are like.
You are missing the greater purpose. Grenade and rifle qualification teach focus, attention to detail and accountability for one's actions.
lol, nope! They're boxes to be checked, nothing more. The Drill Sergeants don't give a shit about the nonsense you're talking about. They just want to pass as many recruits off on their AIT instructors as they can. They're judged on numbers, not quality.
It takes patience and persistence.
Not really. It takes not being a retard.
newfag being a typical newfag. Get fucked, loser. Cry to someone else.
VPN. If you're not using one, you're dumb.
Also, all feds are faggots, come and take it, hope you got life insurance.
For those that don't know, Taiwan has an island in the South China Sea that is exactly here: 20.703476, 116.720493
It has long been assumed that China would start things off by taking this island as well as the two Taiwanese islands that are just off its coast here: 24.444621, 118.345952
Taiwan would basically have no chance of successfully defending those islands, and their attempts to do so would naturally be used to gin up support/pretext for invading Taiwan proper.
You act like he had a choice. He couldn't even force the military to pull out of Iraq, Afghanistan, and Syria!
"Democracy" has multiple meanings, and in this context it is always meant in terms of the process of democracy, not the government form. I've also never heard of anyone attacking the concept of a republic, mostly because people don't even know what the means, like you don't.
Step 1: Texas secedes
Step 2: Create a constitution which bans socialism/communism and anything that has spawned from it, like SJW bullshit and climate """science"""
Step 3: Wish all the leftists farewell as they flee the state
Step 4: Welcome in new states to the Republic of Texas
Step 5: Watch liberals in those states flee in horror
Step 6: Watch the remainder of the US fall apart under the weight of all the liberal scum and the corruption they inherently bring with them
Step 7: Repeat steps 4-6 as needed
Step 8: After the remainder of the US fully collapses into anarchy, begin a campaign to "liberate" the remaining states (wait a couple of years for this to ensure the minimum number of liberal survivors from the famine and civil war they created for themselves)
Step 9: Consolidate new nation and call it the United States of Texas
Step 10: Require everyone to own a gun, own a pair of cowboy boots and cowboy hat, and require everyone to learn how to line dance
I can't understand why people like sportsball. I never could, but now it's even MORE obnoxious than ever. How is it fun to watch a bunch of retarded ball-chuckers prance around the field in matching outfits, grabbing each other's heavily padded bodies, then celebrating that they moved an oblong air sac into a rectangular shape on the field like they're the fucking second coming of Christ? You couldn't PAY ME to enjoy that shit.
