    Wrong I'm comparing the earth's one military power to a nation that hasnt defeated another nation's army in... how long, again? There is only one real military power on earth. And the next four after them. To be clear, you think the french could have beaten Iraq's military, the fourth biggest...

    If you think you can just circle back and regurgitate your previous arguments and thats going to have any effect you're wrong. So was Iraq, and they were literally worthless. As far as world military strength, 2nd place might as well be 50th. The difference is way too big. Name the last army...

    Wrong, I contradicted your sillyness about the french not being cowards, which they were and are, and I mentioned vietnam as an aside, which you bit down on hard until giving up almost immediately to mumble from the sidelines while a different incoherent poster white knighted for you.

    We're talking about more than one thing. What debate, if you wont talk coherently, theres nothing to respond to. Saying "French military doesnt suck because it exists and is active" is a complete non sequitur. I could care less what you find tiresome, in fact, maybe if you tire of your own...

    an order of magnitude's attrition rate is literally a perfect indicator of the dominance of one military over another. The kinds of losses experienced by forces such as the Russians, Chinese, Koreans, and Vietnamese in their various disastrous campaigns have had a terrible effect on their...

    I dont give a shit how wrong you choose to be, chief. the NVA was absolutely crushed by the US army, and political pressure at home forced the US to end the conflict. If this argument was that the united states military was immune to political pressure from it's own government, what you're...

    -Evaporate the enemy army on contact -15:1 KD ratio -political pressure at home demands an end to the war -offer enemy a ceasefire -enemy accepts -leave the enemy nation in complete shambles Vietnam has a proud tradition of having it's armies annihilated, it's people subjugated, then claiming...

    "conducting operations" what the fuck does that have to do with anything? Learn to multi quote, learn to post in general really. What the fuck are you trying to ask? Did you forget that Iraq once had the world's fourth biggest military and we rolled straight over it? The US army clobbered the...

    At nowhere near the scale or intensity of the Poles, sure. The fact that no one has a significant military besides the United States is significant. It's not a linear curve from #10 to #1. Consider that the united states was able to vaporize the 4th largest military on the planet at like...

    The Polish army fought bravely and were massacred, which was their fucking job, and the people of poland fought so hard the Nazis massacred them too.

    Think about what you just said. They surrendered, and have done nothing in the interim to redeem themselves including royally fucking up Vietnam.

    Thats like saying you're the tenth strongest person in a kindergarden class being taught by Mike Tyson. An aircraft carrier, AN, I'm fucking dying laughing. I dont like them because they're cowardly surrender monkeys. Dont feel bad, most europeans are cowards.

    The French are currently a bunch of cowardly surrender monkeys. They literally never recovered from WW2, or WW1, or, in many ways, the revolution. Long gone are the days of throwing hatchets at italians and big bearded normans riding around on horses ruining Celtic mythology with their shitty...

    Shorter, but broader than Cromagnons. Stronger in some ways, not in others. Ordinary humans are hybrids of Neanderthals and Cromagnons, we're bigger and stronger than both.

    In the original text, Satan is the Prosecuting attorney of heaven, essentially. There are various evil spirits that appear in the bible, and in the middle ages they were all conflated as one big figure, along with satan himself, in popular culture.

    I'm not sure what that has to do with it. Yeah, which is a hilarious irony. They co-opted a symbol of christian humility because "Hurr it like thing but go backwards, so mean backwards of thing!" I mean, both mean the same thing. It's not like they went to Peter and said "We're putting you...

    Well thats kind of what he signed up for. I mean, he didn't actually condemn him, he just stopped protecting him after he ran out of excuses and tricks.
