Which is utter crap since in actual combat the US military has proven how effective it is. What test was this?

A test with out the US Marine Corps.

That would be because the Marines aren't the army.

Is that why they still walk halfway across Iraq without helicopters/hummers/whatever?

Indeed, Maybe they waited because they were ordered to?

And because even waiting for the helicopter, they still showed up before the people who were dumb and decided to walk the distance instead. Nothing like making your attack take 100 times as long because you didn't have the patience to wait for your transportation.

Wouldn't it be safer to set up a defensive position and wait in one place? Who knows what dangers await you between you and your final destination.

Well, I guess different people are meant for different branches. Don't know that one is better from another for everyone.

And the details of this test were not disclosed. Were they assured that they would be getting transportation? Was this transportation to an objective or extraction from? E&E situation? I mean, we know nothing about this test.

However, if the US wasn't in the top ten it was a ghey test. Having worked with foreign military organizations, in general, the US soldier (Marine, sailor, airman) is better trained than most of our counterpart's. Our individual ground troops are more proficient when it comes to tactics, communications, physical conditioning, and adaptation.

We routinely inflict ridiculous kill to death ratios even in situations where our troops are outnumbered. This has nothing to do with our superior technology in troop-troop engagements, especially when it is so close in that supporting arms are useless.

I will agree, most of the top brass depend too much on our ability to sent a JDAM through a window, and time and again underestimate the skill and tenacity of the US soldier. But the premise of that test seems to try to negate both and probably talks about how the AK is more effective because it said so in some video game.

Well I think this whole war thing has run its course... final conclusion:

The U.S. Military is the best military force on the face of the Earth.

Now lets concentrate on another subject: Cuba.

Is the U.S. the only one who can be blamed for Cuba´s current situation?

That depends, is the fact that your parents are siblings the only thing to blame for yours?

Yes a lot of women love to.

This gets my nomination for the most useless post of the day. At least it wasn't full of pretentious government-philosophy babble.
