To sit down with these men and deal with them as the representatives of an enlightened and civilized people is to deride ones own dignity and to invite the disaster of their treachery - General Matthew Ridgway
Someone told me that American infantry is no match for their Iranian counterparts if they were equally equiped.
Absolutely correct. Nobody could ever prove it, though, because Iranians will never get similar equipment.
So, actually, it's complete BS.
Except for being absolutely correct. That 'someone' you're listening to REALLY has the bubble on the subject matter, boy, lemme tell YOU.
Do you have any other fantasies I can confirm for you while ridiculing them, and secretly laughing at with everybody else while pretending to address them seriously, even though they're ludicrous on their face?
Now this guy says Americans are not as resouceful as Iranians.
Not as...'resourceful'. Hm.
Well, being resourceful is a great trait in an infantryman, that's true.
But not getting slaughtered in huge numbers by a professional, motivated, brave, well-led and highly-skilled enemy is WAY more important that 'resourcefulness'.
Did you mean best trained infantry for ceremonial duties or for fighting?? ;)
Actual infantry could be (not in any particular order.....
- India
- Pakistan
- UK
- US
- China
- Vietnam
I have left out Israel since they are better at Spl ops, and I am not aware if they have faught any famous infantry battles (apart from Battle for Golan Heights).
