      I’m sure it’s as bad, or worse, in the U.K. as it is in the U.S. today. We’ve had at least 50 years of male effeminization via social and media conduits. Western governments have spent at least as much time working to show their disdain and contempt for males of European descent.
      Yes, you can change laws and develop terribly punitive consequences for those who will not fight for you. Maybe you get your armies. But what will those armies function like? The Rus’ and their meat waves?
      All I’m saying is the west is in a major pickle right now. Just look at the recruitment stats for the U.S. military over the last decade. The pop is spent after a 20+ year loss on a foreign war that was really just trying to give them woman and gender rights. The pop has no cohesiveness like we had 1940.

    Back in the day, I as a soldier in the Parachute regiment, attached to a unit with a specific job to do in the event the Soviets invaded West Germany, was told in such an event we would have at max a ten day life expectancy.
    We were also told to make sure that we didn't fall into Soviet hands under any circumstances.
    The war in Ukraine has bought this last advice into very sharp focus. :(
    As for the army now, it simply does not have enough mass or heavy equipment to fight a Russian army fighting in the way they are fighting in Ukraine. We don't have anywhere near enough air defence, artillery (tube and rocket), I could go on.
    This is why it is in the UK's interest to stop Russia in Ukraine by helping the Ukranians with equipment, ammunition etc.

    Sooner, the British Army of August 1914 suffered 100% casualties by December. They were recalling former servicemen who hadn't worn a uniform in years and sending them to the front with no training.

    During the world wars, the bulk of the UK's fighting force were Indian conscripts. Why would it be any different now?

    Six months is extremely optimistic in the event of a war say over Ukraine. We would lose an infantry battalion a week at the very least.
    A reservist that’s been out ten years will be in no condition to fight for at least 6 months if at all.
    Our military is a quarter the size it needs to be to actually fight a peer enemy.
    Also our logistics and equipment cannot sustain our land forces in an Eastern Europe winter.

    Six months! Get over yourselves lefties: ammo for two days (max), fuel for four days of modern kinetic warfare (max). Six weeks and the regulars are gone. In that time the Navy would maybe have avoided charted rocks off Australia, charted islands off Samoa, and found their way down The Solent. Air Force? What, a handful of planes (working) and a few pilots (those DIE-ticks will be so good, arf arf).
    Then: RARO and TA Saturdays and Sundays - two weeks tops.
    Then: conscription! Good luck trying that little two-tier!

    That's 6 months as part of a wider NATO force, more like 6 weeks on their own!
    And as for muppets saying we shouldnt be letting Russia know this, trust me they already fully know our capabilities, or lack thereof, probably better than we do!

    You guys pay the lowest taxes per person out of any g7 country, look it up. We pay federal tax, state tax, income tax, residential tax, land tax, sales tax, and more in the US. Plus health insurance. The average income here is $37k but thats before taxes.
    When it comes to defense, the uk says "the US will help us" so its like our taxes ensuring your safety. Nato is supposed to be countries in a partnership, not countries dependent on another.
    Nobody is willing to invest in their own security. The only issue everyone cares about is the nhs, thats all i hear. (Because i care to read about it, the news doesnt mention uk affairs whatsoever)
    I dont think you guys understand how big of an issue this is, im pro uk & our cooperation is important but its even frustrating to me. However, many people here dont gaf about the uk, politicians included, and very realistically wouldnt help you in a conflict.
    We dont need your millitary or weapons, you have no production capacity, patriotism is low, will to fight is non existent, your vulnerable to blockade once again, etc. Many people dont see the value in our relationship or think its vital.
    Its inexcusable to plan further cuts to the millitary in 2025 considering the conflict in the world. Nobody seems to understand the feeling in the US right now is isolation, and you cant blame them. Its easier to justify cooperation when both sides bring assets to the table. Despite trumps statements, & likely inevitable plans, despite the constant warnings from your military & intelligence officials, nothing changes.
    Im afraid Your very likely to be in for a rough surprise if russia attacked you & its disappointing. Its not earn like your citizens could form impromptu millitias like in the us, because everyone has atleast 1 gun here, if not many more. But atleast you have the nhs right?

    "Manpower" ? I hope you meant "Person Power" ? "Enhance the reserve forces..." Good luck with that. They will have gone to ground well before hand. Such a pile of BS from the Army and these armchair generals.

      Reserves would need time to get refreshing training, be equipped before being sent over, these people think the reserves can just be chucked into the fight without any refreshment training first?
