[@mitchell1489]

The thing is, the freedom won`t be forever as well. Because of, yet again - Everybody wants to rule the world. One tyrannies disappear, making space for future dictators to appear. Free countries may be easily corrupted to the wishes of an oligarchs, autocrats, since they would easily forget in 50 years what they fought against back then. What walls had they brought down. What ideals they helped to rise. What value carry democracy and freedom for the people... USSR collapse wasn`t expected by most. To reform, to transform into a confederacy, to throw away communism? Perhaps, but not to completely dissolve. Because of it, we allowed half of newly-independent states to embrace anti-democratic regimes, as in Belarus, Kazakhstan, Ukraine (2010-2014), Turkmenistan...

I feel like what makes this oddly captivating is that a lot of these clips aren't really some high octane fights and combat, it's very mundane. it feels weirdly nostalgic even though I've never fought in combat nor was this "during my era" if you will

[@m.damarsr9863]

pretty sure that the military, including the conduct of war itself, consists of 95% mundane stuff and 5% actual high-intensity combat, fighter pilots probably only do less than 1 hour of combat in a mission despite hundreds of hours of preparation and training

[@jlight7346]

@@m.damarsr9863Oh it’s definitely less than one hour of actual combat per mission. Probably close to 10-30 minutes total depending on what the mission is. The rest of the 2-8 hours is just flying around. Now this is really only representative of lower intensity conflicts or something like the Gulf War where it was such a stomp that you never really saw much retaliation. In a full on world war between major powers, I’d imagine the amount of combat time per sortie would go up. I’d also like to point out that I’m not a pilot. However, I do personally know several and have played my fair share of sims.

“Don’t fly to high, the sun will melt you” Fame, powers, wealth, if those things are out of your sight in the first place, then don’t try too hard to reach it, it’ll only kill you, but also remember “don’t fly too low or your wings will get wet and you’ll crash”, don’t try to go too low, without a little wealth, you’ll can be defeated too

[@Theriodontia4945]

Ah, yes... The "Iraq fucked around and found out" war. Nothing is as satisfying as reading articles about how the invading Iraqi military got BTFO'd so hard that it literally became a laughing stock. From "4th strongest military" to "What military?" within a year. Kind of relevant due to Russia invading Ukraine, and failing epically in the process.

you got your heads stepped by Vietnamese, we have literally seen how strong after you ran away from Afghanistan. And let’s not talk about how Iraq insurgents kicked out Americans. Oh and by the way you got help from other countries and we were outnumbered😂 no way you are comparing this war to Russia and Ukraine. You are 100% an american
