A certain kinda person really thinks macho vibes are what make for military success, and so thinks liberal states are bad at war. But rationalised logistics and immense productive capacity are actually very good at winning wars and liberal capitalist societies can martial those well and quickly.

Idk sounds communist
lib societies can be slow to get riled up and aligned on war aims. You can use that against them a lot by not directly threatening what leads their headlines.
But once they get aligned, they can be scary focused. And just as hard to change their view away from fighting you again.
Martial is of war or fighting, whereas marshal is gathering for an exertion.

The rational and the immense are good at the winning.
So how did the Viet Cong bring the US military to collapse in less than five years, using low-tech weaponry and tactics?
And of course this administration is handicapping both the ability to supply the army and maintain morale by slashing civilian support.
'looks like another trans friendly HIMARs with its own pronouns just wiped out your forward HQ and all your officers'
Liberal capitalism probably transfers over fastest and cleanest to war economy
USSR took time
Generals master logistics.
the place that broke Revolutionary France, Russia, had no real republican sentiment to activate, and by that time Napoleon had kinda pissed away his revolutionary cred anyway
Nazis - Soviets - this idea - Pax Americana
(Arguably the promotional imagery of post-war Pax Americana was both pro-democracy and anti-racist, yet reasonably militant as well. But it was mostly militant because of the recent past, not the imagined future?)
If macho worked, Russia would have wiped the floor with Ukraine quite a while ago.

For example, they're amazing at teaching people how not to kill themselves with their own hardware and are safety experts. OHSA should hire vets.
two of those things are just things that move stuff from one place to another and he ranked them on par with fuckin nukes
They’re both incompetent and shifting focus away from preventing another 9/11.

As we continue under this administration of dunces, we are trapped in this belief that…
The current administration is advocating brute force that reflects other authoritarian states but our military, our modern military is based in a liberal democratic worldview.
One could argue the decline of liberal democracies in the west suggests they are far less able to than they used to be
Give them exactly what they want!
Plus tons of lefties love guns
Not counting the industrial centers making the supplies to prosecute a war.

I think they were humble and scared and would admit they were completely out of their element and felt sorry for the enemy troops and just wanted to go home.
That's how my grandpa described it and he was in the heaviest of fighting.
He always said the John Wayne act is a lie.
they are disappearing people off of the street in the national birthplace of globalized free markets as we speak but go off John. The markets can’t speak for themselves- you are a hero
enjoy the next trump, I guess.
