  • Its called drawing parallels, you obviously didn't read it very well. I compared it to the Gulf war and expanded that to how a hypothetical conventional war would be fought today. ALSO the battle of Stalingrad and the pocket took place in 1942-1943 not 1945.

  • I said 1945 because of the end of WW2. I wasn't referring to any specific event in WW2. Making parallels to over 67 years ago doesn't work when your argument is about modern combat.

  • ...Yes it does. The tactics we used in the Gulf War are based exactly off Germans blitzkrieg tactics. Hell one Bradley commander had a picture of Erwin Rommel in the back of a Bradley and explained to a captured Iraqi Colonel that if he knew anything from Erwin Rommel he wouldn't be sitting in the back of his vehicle, because thats whose tactics they used.

  • A lot of modern combat still takes tips from the Art of War. That doesn't mean we still fight like during the period in which it was written.

  • You aren't understanding what i just said. The tactics we used in the Gulf War are exactly based off of the blitzkrieg in World War 2. SO yes in a way we do fight the same way. Todays wars are a bit different because they aren't conventional. On here i am drawing parallels to a HYPOTHETICAL modern war that could happen tomorrow and what we would do.
