U.S. Military vs The rest of the World

[I Am Legion]

No nukes, we would be outmanned. Not outgunned.

 

[Jack Handy jr]

USA military spending is more than all other counties combined

Imagine what we have in Deep Under Ground Military Bases?!?!? here's a snippet from SECDEF Donald Rumsfeld when asked about the Pentagon's accounting Problem

"'According to some estimates we cannot track $2.3 trillion in transactions,' Rumsfeld admitted. $2.3 trillion — that's $8,000 for every man, woman and child in America."
-- CBS, 1/29/02

This is a stupid question because wars aren't fought in a vacuum. You can't just teleport armies in an open field to fight the death. There has to be a political objective.

True but imagine the Chinese army with no air cover having to contend with a fleet of these

after all theire planes have been blown out of the sky by F-22's that tracked them before they even knew the Raptors were up there?!?!

So what makes you think the world can take on 300,000,000 armed civilians?

And your military can't even take on unarmed civilians in said country you quoted.
So... Wassup with that?

there is no such thing as a stupid question sir. However their are stupid posts like yours all the time. there will come a day when WW II Total War conflicts return.

 

[Jack Handy jr]

Wouldn't the whole rest of the world just focus their efforts on insurgency and guerrilla tactics by attacking our weak spots, hit and run, disrupt our supply lines, try to bankrupt us and just make our lives miserable? As Bin Laden said, death by a thousand papercuts. We would really have to take the gloves off. It would have to be like Desert Storm, divide areas into grids and assign each grid to unit with the order to kill everything in their grid.

Exactly Total Warfare scenario like World War 2 where collateral Damage and civilian casualties weren't a factor in military planning for the axis or the allies.

see the bombing of Tokyo and Dresden as examples.

USA taps to strikes 6 months in and is forced to remove Trump from power thereby ending the war and restoring peace to the Galaxy

 

[Jim Cozad Jr.]

Yes, I think we could make the world surrender to us under this complete gloves off/no nukes scenario...

 

[Headkicktoleg]

And your military can't even take on unarmed civilians in said country you quoted.

If it came down to it we don't give a fuck about going door to door. We carpet bomb the world and enjoy the new space.

You don’t think we couldn’t flatten Syria in ina couple days if we wanted to? Unfortunately, the US is only there to destabilize. We’re a bunch of asshole troublemakers.

Patriotism can sometimes make people look extremely stupid.

Okay how though our Air force alone could beat every other nations air power.. add in Marine, and Navy Pilots? so yeah countries that could put up a fight like China and Russia would have a massive manpower advantage but what good is all that mechanized infantry and armor if you have non stop cluster munitions and anti armor weapons shredding column after column after column throw the Field Artillery assets of the Army and the Marines it would worse than the battle of 10 downing where saddams armor and bmp's had no aircover and were almost laughably destroyed

I'm a patriot but how do you see the U.S. losing in a modern day WW2 scenario...Russian winter? nope Technological superiority nope

10 Intelligent men beats 10,000++ average men. In intellect.
But in brute strength, 10 trained fighters won't win 100 average men.

You can "carpet bomb" half the world with your advanced tech; 3.5 billion of the rest of the world.
300m Americans is still NOT going to Win the remaining 3.5b of world population. Fist fight, gun fight, whatever fight.

It's always about the numbers.
GPA, GDP, Bank Account, how many chicks you banged before 25yrs old, the number of times your weird uncle touched you.

Which isn't what you're talking about though. Wars are fought for political objectives and they involve more than just the military. In your scenario militaries alone are just fighting for shits and giggles.

 

[blaseblah]

lol no. You have no idea what is even just on our submarines. We have dozens of subs that could destroy the world.

China is an enormous country of 1.4 billion. We wouldn't even be able to destroy them, let alone the world.

 

[MrFeeny]

If we are playing no rules of war, just kill the opponent until there are no more people, US wins.

If we are playing a realistic war, US probably wins the casualty ratio battle, but neither side will be able to come close to conquering the other.

 

[Headkicktoleg]

China is an enormous country of 1.4 billion. We wouldn't even be able to destroy them, let alone the world.

I know for a fact that we have dozens of subs around the world with enough munitions to destroy the world.

So are asking if the US military could kill every person on earth?
