[@thomassullivan5404]

Sharp commander with a good understanding of the tactical issues.

[@levelazn]

not really. most americans have no idea what they are dealing with when it comes to china

[@coshyno]

@@levelazn true. they most likely would get their asses kicked ! China has hypersonic missiles that can take out any aircraft carrier making them obsolete.. plus they have an almost infinite amount more soldiers then the US and its allies has.

Where is this interview taking place

[@InferKnow]

Very interesting and glad to see his perspective and hear about his role as well. Hybrid’s made me laugh though obviously are tremendously efficient and glad to see that tech incorporated in army vehicles and hearing the strategy and planning along with his role is inspiring to many.

[@coshyno]

inspiring to many ?> I never gave you my voice, plus going to war to get killed is not inspiring. America should stay in America, it is not in any danger of being bothered or invaded having the largest arsenal of nuclear bombs of any country. Isolationism is the policy America should be looking to from now on because the world is getting fed up of the constant wars America has been creating ever since Vietnam. Russia's number of wars it has created pale in comparison to the US.

[@InferKnow]

@@coshyno Oh boy, First I respect your opinion but Isolationism? like that’s truly efficient and will shell us while being the world leader (or policeman if your pro rhetoric). America doesn’t have the largest nuclear arsenal Russia does but equally can destroy the world as we know it. Wouldn’t Detente be closer to a better vision? What’s inspiring is how we are on track to upgrade our defense capabilities and the roles they play. Bringing up the controversy of the Cold War is not fair as the times were much different and we are drifting closer to another one which is something we do not want. Russia won’t give up on their own we cannot guarantee economic stability within our nation especially without looking outwards because then we fall behind the rest if we go by Isolationism sticking to what we know and not looking for new concepts and invent new technology.

[@gamingrex2930]

IMO the main issue with hybrids is redundancy, pardon my surface level knowledge but essentially hybrids are combustion engines powering powerpacks which power electric drives. Whereas a fully electric or fully petrol powered vehicle only really needs to care about the power source and the drive for mobility, the hybrids need to worry about 3 components. And when you put more complicated stuff into a vehicle that isnt an air asset, usually it becomes a very fragile system that cant be maintained on the field easily. If a diesel tank gets its engine killed, it could very easily replace the part and patch up the damage. While the hybrid needs diagnostics to check in the power pack and drive for any damage before you pull out and replace stuff.

[@InferKnow]

@@gamingrex2930 It should be cheaper long term, since it’s more efficient it saves on fuel which is a cost itself, It uses gasoline but shouldn’t make it more vulnerable then another type of engine.

And the kids who came home with missing arms and legs ending up on the streets with PTSD and commit suicide? That's a more likely future

[@TheSuewho42]

Hey Odd-ball the kids youre referring to volunteer for the Army! I guess you didnt! Gen. McConville is a Patriot in our USArmy!

[@oddsmith5872]

@@TheSuewho42 of course I didn't, do you think I'm stupid? There's nothing patriotic about what the US army has done in the world the last 50 years, it's criminal

Wagner group different command fast decision

[@terrencewijeratne6197]

no offense general but russia has 2.9 million waiting for you and nato. they also have robotic soldiers, su57, and many space based weapons we are not aware of. and these days ghost work with cetain armies. by year end they will have sarmat too. what can nato offer to combat sarmat. travels at 4.4 kms peraocond. america does not even have a succesful hypersonic weapon. and further china is getting your best weapons on the interent. they are masters at reengineering. just one more thing without gas how can america fight a war???? these days everytrhing is uncertain and who knows what the future holds. i think all armies will need younger brilliant generals. future wars will be high tech and those who are better in it like programming will win. wht did the dapra chief resign.

[@ryanmac7377]

good grief they don't even have a similar f1117 nighthawk that's since been retired that was used in gulf war 1. You think the US doesn't have secret weapons and tech? fuck the US has already developed and flown a 6th gen fighter that we haven't even seen yet. NATO and US doesnt want a war with Russia never has. Russias nuclear forces are very capable but we will not be threatened by Putin or china. DO not mistake kindness and reluctance to fight with weakness.

[@TheSuewho42]

Wow! Sounds like you know more about this than the Gen! Are you in the military?Bet youre not! What he is saying is more realistic than an amature like you!

People like you make me sick! The Gen is where he is because he is good at what he does! Where are you Oklahoma on all this! Jealous?? LOL?

[@louisewaltu5142]

So nato fueling the fire while asking china to help negotiate why will china when nato is the reason for the war not china or India
