Peirs Morgan ran a fake story of the Brits abousing POWs like in Abu Grab. They were Brits hazing other brits in the military. Before the story was debunked the Iraqis escalated attacks in Britbong controlled areas.

>those kids who still try and pretend like they're hard as fuck

War reduces seasoned men to pitiful shells of themselves. It burns their memories with fallen friends and pointless bureaucracy penned in bloodshed.

I think what pisses me off the most about child soldiers is how fucking stupid kids and teens are. They're so easy to brainwash into fundamentalist/radical beliefs and it only shows that the organizations recruiting them follow immature ideologies since they can't even get real men to fight for their cause.

I haven't checked out the other two threads, so some of these might be reposts from the first one.
And probably have been posted already, but some of the radio transmissions from the first Chechen War are beyond fucked up. Especially the one where a random Chechen and some Russian officer are talking, both urging each other to cease fighting but they both know the Chechen is defending his country and the Russian has to follow orders so there can be no chance of withdrawal.

I can't fucking view the pictures description, because I made them all on XP and now I'm on 7 and for some reason picture comment only displays the first words and I can't expand or edit them. All I remember that it's a Soviet soldiers posing with Germans somewhere in Poland, but I can't remember the city or date.
But a quick reverse image search tags it as WW II and after randomly clicking on a few links, one of them claims it's actually a Bulgarian soldier. The cap looks similar to theirs, but the uniform is slightly off. So I don't know.

Time for an amusing history lesson!

The Germans actually occupied the channel islands (I.e. the little islands between mainland UK and France) in WWII. Hitler figures they night provide a nice staging area for the invasion of Britain. Later in the war it was also assumed that the islands would provide advance warning of any Allied invasion fleet, as Hitler figured they would stop to liberate the Isles on the way. However, in the event the Allies completely ignored the channel islands, simply sailing past them. They remained occupied while Europe was being liberated. The relationship between German troops and British residents on the isles was generally good (albeit frosty) and the islands weren't liberated until the Germans surrendered of their own accord with no blood shed. Not a bad way for a German soldier to spend the war, living on a wee island doing bugger all!

Japanese Americans born in the states with US citizenship were subject to the draft, the same as any other military age male. The 442nd Infantry Regiment was almost exclusively Japanese American, and is the most decorated combat unit in the history of the US military, with 21 Congressional Medals of Honor in a year and a half. That's on top of 9,500 Purple Hearts and eight Presidential Unit Citations, five of which were awarded in a single month.
>>
>>29319061
Fun fact, the overwhelming majority of Japanese Americans interned during the 40s went willingly because they wanted to show their love for their country and prove their loyalty. Plenty of second generation Japanese Americans were drafted.

They were, just not in the Pacific. 442th Infantry was almost all Japanese and they were deployed to Europe. It's usually cited to have a 314% casualty rate due to the fact that the unit was issued 9,486 purple hearts for 3,000 personnel in theater. Official KIA/WIA/MIA counts put it more at 93% which is still really high.

It was also one of the most decorated units of the war with 21 MOHs

Well, its kinda like this.
Most of western military tradition dates back to ancient greece, including a lot of our oldest ideals concerning rule of war.

So too, does the eastern martial tradition date back to tribes of horse peoples, and sultans whose concept of government was literally "All men are slaves for the sultan" even the nobles were just really rich slaves. He could order them to strangle themselves to death with a cord at any given moment for any reason. In THIER martial tradition power is displayed via extravagant acts of torture, brutality, and execution. Its like, saying "we wont just kill you, we will go out of our way to make it as showy and gruesome as possible." Its how they consolidate power, vs the western tradition towards political assimilation the eastern tradition is one of enslavement enforced by extravagant displays of violence.


He's pointing upwards with one finger because that is the traditional islamic way of saying "there is but one god and his name is allah," but it can also just be a gesture upwards towards god as a reminder that you are acting on his behalf. In other words he is saying, "I do this in god's name."

One thing I've noticed in every photo and video in this thread, is this incredible sense of loneliness. Every photo feels like it's happening in the middle of nowhere, with only the living people in the photo/video being involved. No matter how many dead are present, it feels like the dead are almost forgotten.

It's a terrifying feeling. It almost feels like hopelessness and abandonment.

Pretty much, yeah.
In sangin we were pretty sure that our country was just ignoring us while we did the things that they found too distasteful to do themselves.

Then you get home and trying to talk about it just makes people treat you like you are gonna shoot up a school or something. Or they just run thier suck and you find out the stuff you told somebody in confidence is being spread around and now everyone is talking about you like you are some kind of headcase. Or just hollywooding it up and making you sound like a tom clancy charecter and everyone wants to get war stories so they can have thier very own 2nd hand combat story from you to sound cool in front of thier buddies.

You literally get treated better if you lie and say that you are starting college at age 25 because you just got over a crippling heroin addiction. Or atleast thats what I used to tell nosey baby faced teens fresh out of highschool to get em to shove off.

Nobody was back then, im not saying the greeks had a geneva convention, im saying that the idea that wars should have rules descends from them.
For instance, generals could be executed for wining a war but not taking measures to lower casualties and bring home as many of thier young men intact as possible.
Also, being captured while fighting a losing battle usually bought you some leniency, while being captured after running from a fight was death.

The rules werent what I would call modern, but the idea that theyd have them. Plus, most of the recorded greek history concerning torture uses it to demonstrate what an unfit ruler said person was.

Thanks for the insight. I read a book about the Ottoman Siege of Constantinople. That battle is millennia removed from the origins you're describing, yet still hold pretty consistent. Both Constantine XI and his adversary, Mehmet II, were in turns merciful and cruel during that conflict, but the Greek conduct of the war was governed by tradition and hierarchy with his various commanders having great sway over strategy and conduct. The Ottoman side was under the total authoritarian control of The Sultan; on a whim, he could send a whole battalion to certain death just to probe the Greek line for weakness.

Tangentially related, but these two sides were not strictly religious. Some of the best soldiers Mehmet II had were Christian vassals who liked the (relative) religious freedom under Ottoman rule and didn't care for the Orthodox Church. The most loyal, die hard soldiers Constantinople had were Turkish (Not out of the goodness of their hearts, mind. They were a pretender to Mehmet's throne and his followers. They knew that, if captured, they would all be tortured to death).

You realize that they were recruiting children because Germany's manpower pool of military-aged men had been sapped up and they were extremely concerned about the Soviets reaching Germany?
They knew what the Soviets would do once they reached Germany so they had to do whatever possible to stem the tide, even if it meant using Children.

The whole torture/display of violence thing is kind of the reason the east gets wrekt every time they face the west too.
Take pearl harbour, the idea that an atrocity can be used as a way to both display power, and warn an enemy not to fuck with you is very distinctly eastern.

The west has a peculiar trait in which they will not fight unless they feel morally justified, vs the east.
Think spartans vs xerxes. Greece wouldn't fight until a major ruler was slain defending his lands, after that the greeks fought because they were defending thier autonomy and "freedom." As opposed to the men in xerxes' army who simply fought because thats what thier leader decided he wanted.

Same for pearl harbor. After that as far as america was concerned anything we did was an act of self defence and defending freedom, vs the japs, who simply fought because thier emperor demanded it.

In other words, the traditional eastern method of chest thumping and saying "dont fuck with us unless you wanna get beheaded or boiled in oil (or some crazy shit) like some of your soldiers we have here" translates to "hey those disgusting immoral savages behead people and boil em in oil. Fuck that, now were morally justified in doing whatever we want to them."

I'm like 80% sure this is one of those old photoshopped propaganda pieces. The pistol in the back there doesn't seem realistic, the saw definitely seems fake. I think this is a picture of the men holding an artillery piece or a machine gun, and they put a guy in there at a later point.


The teeth of the saw are way too high definition to be part of the original picture. Just putting that out here.

And the guy holding the knife in the back, there's a line from his knife down to the 'prisoner'. Then you look at that guy's left hand and you see the fabric of his shirt, its not consistent with his upper shirt. I don't like this image at all.
