Some US deaths to kills numbers
Yeah they really suck as a fighting force. They more often then not kill more of the enemy then the enemy kills of them.

Well, if you use that[kill to death ratio] as a measurement then my country did just as good or better in the WW2 against a far more bigger army.

Russia, the Russian's are without a doubt the toughest SOB's in the World their training is hellish and the dicipline harsh. The Russian Soldier can take a licking and keep on ticking. There arnt many Armies that can keep up with the Russians when it comes to Winter Warfare. They are tough, resiliant and can improvise in most situations. Their weakness is that because they are so bloody tough they will throw their toops in to a situation were other commanders would think twice about tackling resulting in high casualties.

The German Soldier has always been good.Dicipline, training and equipment has always been a priority for the Germans. Logistics and Military planning is also of the highest standard. Altough they have been the bad guys of the last Century there is no doubting the Quality of the German Soldier.

You're joking right ? They've had their a$$ kicked all over Afghanistan and now in Chechnya. Even in WW2, it was their sheer numbers which beat the Germans, not superior soldiering ability.

So your saying that the Russians are good because they are suicidal in combat. I've seen and read enough to know the Russian soldiers in Chechnya are pissing their pants.
It seems you are basing your opinions of the Russians on a war which happened 60 years ago. Even then the Germans inflicted losses which were staggering.

Mad Scientist, im not going to get into a pissing contest with you about this, they are just my opinions nothing more. If you dont agree with what i said then thats fine, but im not going to get into an argument with you because you dont agree with me. ok? It serves no purpose.
You could contribute by giving some opinions as to what makes a good Army to you.

However, if the people would shut up for about 4 months, let the soldiers do their thing as they were trained to do it, we could just get out of there, as they would have it anyway. Ironic, isn't it?

What, by killing everything that moves ? I know it's been said many times before, but they have to win hearts and minds. It just apalls me that the average intelligence of the US footsoldier seems so low, maybe it's their age. Still though, many come across as having dropped out of school at 14.
