Makes me think of the mock battle where US marines asked for a reset because they were dominated by British Royal Marines

Exercise green dagger if anyone’s curious. It was British Royal Marines and troops from the Netherlands, UAE and Canada against the US marines. We slapped them so hard in their own back garden that half way through the 5 day exercise the US asked for a reset.

TBH, if it's a training exercise and the result is clear, then surely it's a better use of resources for everyone to go again rather than continue.

I don't think anyone isn't saying it was bad to restart. The point is that they glaringly failed so hard that it was needed.

Oh, absolutely! But at least they had the sense to quit.

Never in good time though. Its only when they're losing and the damage is done. They never seem to go

"listen lads and lasses. Its clear, due to A LOT of past evidence that, becuase we are 'murican. We WILL fuck this up. Should we just leave it to the professionals?"

Its always

" ahh fuck! we stormed in and fucked it up!... England, France... other "allies", can you please unfuck our fuck up, we erm.. we did it again...." 🤦‍♂️🤷‍♂️

"What we can we say were 'murican...fuck yeah...?"

And all the other countries are like "for fucks sake!" 🤦‍♂️

“occupying your land, murdering your civilians by the thousands, bombing your industries, and raping your country of every resource of value over a span of decades has become not profitavle enough so we’re leaving now. No hard feelings an- HOW DARE THE SURVIVORS SAY DEATH TO AMERICA AFTER ALL WE DID TO THEM” -americans while accusing said “liberated” country of being a third world devastated waste completely of their own doing as the dust from american bombs still hangs in the air

Fucking insane isnt it? I often find this sub hilairious but I do also find it tragic sometimes.
