I am kinda surprised that his knowledge of War is even worse than me, someone like me who never even hold a real/loaded gun in my hand or saw a fighter jet up close, and yet I understand the war mostly based on knowledge i get from reading/watching videos/documentaries and yet its very obvious to me that he is not understanding that China has no combat experience, that doesn't mean that they can not fight. But defeating a foe like America who is already ahead of you 10 steps, than on top of that their combat experience, allies , everything makes them much more superior. I don't understand what he is trying to say or prove by bringing Korean War? Heck even Pakistan took 40% of Kashmir in 1948 with Tribals and Army much more poorly equipped from a enemy much bigger than itself, so now should I just say that just because we took part of Kashmir back in 48 from India, we can do the same in 2023 and take rest of it? nope, we tried in 65 we failed, and now with all that modern technology, financial strength of India, numbers, for Pakistan its close to impossible to take back rest of Kashmir without external help and a full blown insurgency.
Well, he once told me in another thread that Taiwan will just willingly "Merch" into mainstream Chinese and not raise any insurgency AFTER the Chinese invasion.
That show you how much he know about war.
I mean, I am not in a business and a mood to talk about war to people who process no such knowledge. As I said, if he think fighting Taliban is not any kind of "Real" experience, then so be it, again, I would much rather the entire Chinese Military think like he does, but probably that's too much to ask.
There are different kind of level of knowledge, those who had been in war, they process the lot, those who live/lived in a war zone, they probably know a little bit less than people who had to fight it, and then those who have been in a constant threat of war. Like Pakistan, or Taiwan, or Palestinian, those people process some degree of knowledge of war, and then there are someone like him.
You have no combat experience, your generals have no combat experience, your entire military doctrine and training is not based on combat experience and not done by military commanders and officers with combat experience.
One month into a war against a combat experienced military and any recuit of yours experiencing combat will not gain anything because he will be dead.
"War experience is a joke" lol, didn't expect you to say something so idiotic.
Well, that make perfect sense to me, because he have no combat experience. The War he saw is on TV, and when it's his turn to fire his weapon in anger, I can probably see that he is going to ask the perosn next to him to do it. Thus "War Experience is a Joke"
There is a question since Vietnam that had been circulate around in OCS and ROTC, most likely in West Point too, that question is "How long can a brand new butter bar survive dropping into a hotzone"
In Vietnam, it's 16 minutes, in Gulf War, it's a little over a month. in Iraq war, where I serve as a 2LT in a Mech Infantry Platoon, guess what is my guess??
