What are you talking about...? Hitler was an abysmal war leader. Family Guy jokes are less formulaic than your comment. Feed yourself into farming equipment, nobody wants you.
Hitler himself was not a very bright General. The one time he took direct control of the operational planning was in Fall Blau where although his plans were strategically sound he made rookie mistakes at the tactical and operational levels and arguably lost the war.
The tech definitely helps, but if there's no one competent to use it then at best you're barely breaking even. A competent person with a knife can take out an incompetent or unaware person with an automatic weapon, and you can't exactly capture and hold a strategic position with a missile alone no matter how nuclear the payload is. Deny the area, for sure, but you have to move your dudes in afterwards or it's just blasting.
@@BeaglzRok1 Some of the most effective insurgents are the ones that set up fire a single shot at the enemy then leave while the enemy's spend all day searching for him. As an insurgent you want to make the enemy work as hard as possible while being as uncomfortable as possible and spend as much time, equipment, and personnel as possible while doing the bare minimum yourself.
@@happyjohn354Yes because the conventional army has to win wars, and the insurgents just need to outlast them until the conventional army decides the insurgents aren't worth the effort.

It's interesting how autistic people can in general be seen as sorta unusable in everyday life, but they always got something they are better at than everyone else. We had one in school, electrical engineering. Most of the time he could be seen standing in a corner and swaying keys in his hand, not talking to anyone and generally being pretty weird, but ho boi when it came to the subject of electronics, he was unmatched and in every single local competition his opponents stood no chance. So ye, I can absolutely believe this being totally real.
I’ve looked this up once out of interest (I’m Dutch and autistic) . And what I found (although not 100% sure) can essentially be summed up as. “In the past (2017) it was something that did disqualified someone from joining the armed forces, but more recently it’s allowed, but since autism is on such a broad spectrum they look at it on a case by case basis.” but nothing concrete so I could be wrong. P.S. Every other group was defeated and this guy was cleary well read on militairy stuff so he's clearly the exception rather then the norm.
I can't speak for the Dutch but the US still uses that as a disqualification for enlistment. 😂. Not that much of an exception. It really depends on what that individual finds as their passion.
@@steamer2k319 I would suggest that you actually do some reading on the definition. If we are using your definition; that would be virtually half the male population at least.
Tbf, I don’t think anon meant that he was disqualified for being autistic but that he just didn’t want to. Not sure about the rules in most countries, but I imagine you can get in most forces if you’re higher functioning and can hide it. Might still make advancing more difficult if you don’t work on your social skills.
this is basically the plot of every advance wars game from the Black Hole Army's POV: giant well-rounded super-military goes up against a teenager with minmaxed stats in "tacticalness" and instantly dies
another commenter said something like: "In another life, this guy would've been William the conqueror. Or the Caliph's accountant, but today he just plays EU4 while watching anime on the other monitor".
Honestly, that guy should be contacted, offered a massive payroll, and utilised as a wargame designer and planner, and as a commander for OPFOR in wargames, he sounds highly intelligent
When idiots demand fealty from their superiors, don't be shocked if they refuse. I'm sorry, but you first need a society they believe in before they are willing to defend it. Money doesn't matter to them, stability does. Money doesn't buy stability when the money machine go brrr, corporations gobble up all the real estate, banks deny you access to your bank account, mainstream media runs your name through the dirt, and the courts extort you. Why would someone intelligent protect that? Even the offer of power is mute, because quite frankly you end up surrounded by people you detest and loathe for an illusion of control. But let's say they do accept the offer. The first thing they're gonna do is eliminate their political opposition, not because they want more power, but simply because they're too corrupt and stupid to be trusted. You know, there's something in the Bible about 144,000 virgins taking control of the Earth under Jesus's leadership...maybe that should be a rule: Only virgins can lead, because continuing their gene pool is not a factor in their decisions, stability and relative comfort is.
You're talking about a nation so incompetent at national defense they had 40 years to prepare to survive a siege with 6 months of supplies and by the end of that 40 year period they had only stocked up on 3 days of food. (Franco Prussian war - WW1)

Insurgants are impossible to take out so i cant really blame the guy for losing you cant fight an enemy if they dont show their face among a crowd of their countryman
Insurgants are impossible to take out if you are trying to hold on to some aspect of morality/immedate use in the region. Hidding amoungst civilians only works when the enemy isn't willing to just kill them.
@@calebblaha7854 fun fact, killing civilians doesn´t work either. The nazis decided that any civilian caught in 10 kms or so from any dead german soldier would be treated as a partisan. Tito the leader of the yugoslav partisans just recruited entire towns that way, because you either join up with the partisans or you get executed by the germans anyway
"a warlord could beat you, I don't want to work for an embarrassment" *holy... shit...* Now that is beyond weapons grade level autism, feel like I'm wasting my own autism now...
It's like 30k Space Marines (autism) vs 40k Space Marines (neurotypical). One is a fighting force comprised of specialized squads that excel at its specific task (tankbusting, anti-infantry, etc) vs a more well rounded but generally less effective squad.
I've always said they should let autistic people in the military even if it's just in assisting roles a lot of them have abilities that would be massive benefits wether it be photographic memories the ability to think in different and more efficient ways or whatever have you they would be useful on or off the battlefield
Government: "We want to control people." Me: "So how are you going to do that?" Government: "By threatening to kill them." Me: "Okay, so listen to me, or I'll kill you." Government: "No way! We'd fight you to the end!" Me: "Exactly, YOU DUMB FAQS! Nobody wants to feel like they're being ruled over by their inferiors, they'd rather die!" Government: "Oh..."
Not really. If you gave the kid all the live weapons and kit, and then gave him a hiding spot and told him to subvert the Dutch state, odds are half his insurgents would get arrested at some random place a few weeks after he started acting. The only real advantage the insurgent has is disguising himself as a civilian (Which even the government force can do, in a limited capacity). Everything else the government can do as well- from hiding their base of operations to having constant eyes everywhere.
@@slacky4787 It's not supposed to add up to 100%. The 20% casualty rate means 20% of their respective forces died. 60% of civilians dying means.. 60% of total civilians in the whole region, independent of insurgents or military personnel, died.
This was some serious National Liberation Front of South Vietnam shit. Sprinkle in a tad bit of determination for unification, civilian support on the other side and lack of such on this side, and there you have the Vietnam War experience
What a legend. To think I knew Mali. I know that shit hole. Spoke to some random dude who said he ran the country but he got his army taken out. Months before A coup happened. I warned him to prepare to prevent an uprising but he fell out of power. Weird shit. Rebels killed a bunch of his men in an ambush. He had his army turn on him. And then his country installed a military junta.
Well, not like this, it's made up. However you can run sims on paper where you both make input and the instructors act as judges whether things are possible. This is roughly what this story is based on. This allows you to quickly run a dozen or so scenarios within a day and come up with evolving plans. The risks are 1 instructors judgements may be wrong (such as the 'insurgent lord' keeping contact with dispersed troops, doesn't happen in reality) and them dismissing genuine opfor options, OR incorrectly accepting opfor options as viable when they're not. And 2, wargaming like that can lead to character-responses, by that I mean you don't react based on the information, but based on you knowing the other vaandrig (or insert other branches' ranks) as a person, and based on their previous responses. Which is why you typically rotate, OR do a 'blind session' where you don't know who plays opfor. The alternative is wargaming in reality which is basically a combined arms excersize. You typically want this since it gives you much experience coordinating, and it's much more realistic. You can have simulated ammunition and the MILES system for 'real shooting'. It has its limitations, but if you do something cheeky (more than one recruit typically has the idea to tape up his laser receivers and become invulnerable) instructors just kill you with the 'god gun'. When that happens casualties are simulated and for example four guys are told they are now immobile casualties and the rest leaves. ISAF deployment was however well understood in advance, and it got f*cked exclusively for political reasons. The politicians were told "This is how we win" and they said no. Then one heroic guy broke regs and went out by himself to fix things, well that cost him his career and even going to the press made zero impact other than him getting to tell a newspaper "I told you so." I like him and he's got more balls than me, but he got discharged over it and in the end Donald Vladimirovich Trump would suggest surrender to the Taliban like the little rapist coward that he is, so none of it matters in the end.
@@jackm4124 Look, this guy was a colleague basically, has bigger balls than me and got published as a failure anyway. It's not fair if I spread the word. He gambled with publicity and lost, it happens. However, Roughly the problems he complained about in the paper, are described by our former LT Van der Voorn. His PHD paper can be downloaded as PDF by searching Martijn van der Vorm, The Crucible of War. Dutch and British military learning processes in and beyond southern Afghanistan. It kinda opens with 'We had a severe lack of intel officers'. Well yay, that's how even a guy like me was able to land a job. 😆
Except the reality was that a bunch of qualified officers told the politicians "This is how we win. This is how we lose." the information was correct, and the politicians opted "We pick 90% lose". Every failure from the Battle for Chora to basically ending up intel-blind was a political decision taken in opposition to all military advice. Sometimes very creative solutions were devised. Such as OP Poentjak being used to 'plug the hole' if you will. Mandate only says defensive fighting, but we must hunt down insurgents offensively as tactical imperative? The politicians are too weak and dumb to sanction offensive fighting? We'll put down an OP so obvious that they MUST fire at it the second they enter the valley, and then we have been engaged and we can engage in turn 'defensively'. The effect is the same, but that way weak leftwing politicians could tell their shortsighted beer-drinking drug-smoking flock that "We never allowed even 1 offensive action"
It’s hilarious how you guys plus a gang of others similar organizations that don’t even have sognificant weapons manufacturing anymore think they’re going to take on the Russians.

Yeah, that strange hexagon ball thingy with little stub legs and holes that archeologists keep finding EVERYWHERE and don't understand what is? That's a multi-size pottery, bowl, jug, and vase holder. Look at how the bottoms of some pottery is REALLY thin, to the point that it's dangerous to stand them up on their own. I compare them to how we use wooden pallets to hold goods. They are just as common in the ancient world as wood pallets are in our day, and the mundane purpose would explain why there are no texts about it. I believe that you can also use these doohickeys to help stack pottery tightly into a ship or wagon without damaging it. Pots and jugs were used to hold all kinds of goods, so it'd only make sense they'd find an efficient way to stack them. So, why haven't I brought this to the archeological community as an autist? Because to even talk to them you need a degree. It's funny how the academic types can't figure out what a blue collar working autist can. I came to my conclusions on the doohickey via realizing that abundance plus lack of explanation meant its purpose must be especially mundane, and there isn't a more mundane purpose than logistics. It's even more mundane than sanitation, because at least you can be motivated to complain about sanitation.

Yeah, in the British Navy it turned out a fairly high ranking officer was autistic. Organisations need to stop automatically disqualifying people if they are autistic. If they find out a person is autistic they should psychologically evaluate them on a case by case basis. Some people have rather severe autism which would certainly disqualify them from the army or other lines of works, but other times the person's autism is milder and just ends up in a slightly quirky person who could work in that organisation just fine.
@@dabtican4953 in some cases it gives them more of an advantage.

Used to throw his suitcase out of the train window when it passed his house so he wouldn't have to carry it with him from the station. Lastly there was also David Sterling who founded the SAS

Internet and phones won the war for the Taliban. They gained a lot from technological advancements, constantly improving their communications. The US military made relatively few technological advancements. It had very little to do with strategic complexity, it was simply an arm's race that the US had underestimated. They couldn't fathom how much more powerful communication (and therefore coordination) would get throughout the years.
In preindustrial societies people on the spectrum are seen as prophetic people. While in industrial societies people on the spectrum struggle to fit in.

1. In late february 1949, after successfuly capturing Yogyakarta city that functioned as Indonesia's capital, dutch delegation announcing to the UN council that indonesia is over, indonesia is no more. Few days later in the early morning of 1 March 1949, dutch military in yogyakarta got completely destroyed by indonesian forces and yogyakarta city then liberated. This sending shock to dutch leaders both in batavia and netherland that their huge forces in yogyakarta are being destroyed by indonesian forces that fight using bow, spear, machete and broken japanese gun. Then in april 1949 in UN assembly meeting, dutch delegation receiving alot of mockery from every UN member countries. Even US delegation looking at them in disbelief that instead of using money from marshal plan to rebuild their country, dutch government using it to annexing other country, their ex-colony. It's apear that dutch government never expecting that just in hours after indonesian forces liberating yogyakarta, indonesian diplomats spreading news about the liberation and everything that dutch military had done to the entire world, and it spark alot of angers. Then in december 1949, after being badly humiliated, dutch government then acknowledging indonesian independence 2. After signing document of acknowledgement to indonesian independence, dutch government is supposed to return the entire dutch-east indies teritory to indonesia. But, instead of doing it, they are holding and reject to return west papua to indonesia. This causing both indonesia and dutch to return in diplomatic and military conflict again. The result is in 1960, indonesia launcing a trikora camaign to liberating west papua from dutch control. At first allied nations such as US, UK and Aus expecting the conflict won't be that big. But when they know the scale of military preparation indonesia had prepare, they are horified because the scale of military arsenal indonesia had prepare is similiar to the scale of military arsenal as if Indonesia is participated in WW2. Afrsid that the conflict may restarting ww2, UK quickly isolating indonesia from foreign intervention and US pressurizing dutch to surrender. Dutch government felt humiliated because of this that they don't have any other option and had to return west papua to indonesia
No way that's happening in any European country without a coup d'etat or a revolution.

The tech definitely helps, but if there's no one competent to use it then at best you're barely breaking even.

@@BeaglzRok1 Some of the most effective insurgents are the ones that set up fire a single shot at the enemy then leave while the enemy's spend all day searching for him.
As an insurgent you want to make the enemy work as hard as possible while being as uncomfortable as possible and spend as much time, equipment, and personnel as possible while doing the bare minimum yourself.
@@happyjohn354Yes because the conventional army has to win wars, and the insurgents just need to outlast them until the conventional army decides the insurgents aren't worth the effort.

I’ve looked this up once out of interest (I’m Dutch and autistic) . And what I found (although not 100% sure) can essentially be summed up as. “In the past (2017) it was something that did disqualified someone from joining the armed forces, but more recently it’s allowed, but since autism is on such a broad spectrum they look at it on a case by case basis.” but nothing concrete so I could be wrong.
P.S. Every other group was defeated and this guy was cleary well read on militairy stuff so he's clearly the exception rather then the norm.
I can't speak for the Dutch but the US still uses that as a disqualification for enlistment.

When idiots demand fealty from their superiors, don't be shocked if they refuse. I'm sorry, but you first need a society they believe in before they are willing to defend it.

Why would someone intelligent protect that?
Even the offer of power is mute, because quite frankly you end up surrounded by people you detest and loathe for an illusion of control. But let's say they do accept the offer. The first thing they're gonna do is eliminate their political opposition, not because they want more power, but simply because they're too corrupt and stupid to be trusted.

How are war games conducted though? How do you simulate mortar fire and f16's?
Basically like warhammer 40k but more in depth.
Well, not like this, it's made up.
However you can run sims on paper where you both make input and the instructors act as judges whether things are possible. This is roughly what this story is based on.
This allows you to quickly run a dozen or so scenarios within a day and come up with evolving plans.
The risks are 1 instructors judgements may be wrong (such as the 'insurgent lord' keeping contact with dispersed troops, doesn't happen in reality) and them dismissing genuine opfor options, OR incorrectly accepting opfor options as viable when they're not.
And 2, wargaming like that can lead to character-responses, by that I mean you don't react based on the information, but based on you knowing the other vaandrig (or insert other branches' ranks) as a person, and based on their previous responses. Which is why you typically rotate, OR do a 'blind session' where you don't know who plays opfor.
The alternative is wargaming in reality which is basically a combined arms excersize. You typically want this since it gives you much experience coordinating, and it's much more realistic. You can have simulated ammunition and the MILES system for 'real shooting'. It has its limitations, but if you do something cheeky (more than one recruit typically has the idea to tape up his laser receivers and become invulnerable) instructors just kill you with the 'god gun'.
When that happens casualties are simulated and for example four guys are told they are now immobile casualties and the rest leaves.
ISAF deployment was however well understood in advance, and it got f*cked exclusively for political reasons. The politicians were told "This is how we win" and they said no. Then one heroic guy broke regs and went out by himself to fix things, well that cost him his career and even going to the press made zero impact other than him getting to tell a newspaper "I told you so."

Same reason I didn't enroll in officer school. Bulgarian armed forces are a fucking meme.
Except the reality was that a bunch of qualified officers told the politicians "This is how we win. This is how we lose." the information was correct, and the politicians opted "We pick 90% lose".
Every failure from the Battle for Chora to basically ending up intel-blind was a political decision taken in opposition to all military advice.
Sometimes very creative solutions were devised. Such as OP Poentjak being used to 'plug the hole' if you will.
Mandate only says defensive fighting, but we must hunt down insurgents offensively as tactical imperative? The politicians are too weak and dumb to sanction offensive fighting?
We'll put down an OP so obvious that they MUST fire at it the second they enter the valley, and then we have been engaged and we can engage in turn 'defensively'.
The effect is the same, but that way weak leftwing politicians could tell their shortsighted beer-drinking drug-smoking flock that "We never allowed even 1 offensive action"

Yeah, that strange hexagon ball thingy with little stub legs and holes that archeologists keep finding EVERYWHERE and don't understand what is? That's a multi-size pottery, bowl, jug, and vase holder. Look at how the bottoms of some pottery is REALLY thin, to the point that it's dangerous to stand them up on their own. I compare them to how we use wooden pallets to hold goods. They are just as common in the ancient world as wood pallets are in our day, and the mundane purpose would explain why there are no texts about it.
I believe that you can also use these doohickeys to help stack pottery tightly into a ship or wagon without damaging it. Pots and jugs were used to hold all kinds of goods, so it'd only make sense they'd find an efficient way to stack them. So, why haven't I brought this to the archeological community as an autist? Because to even talk to them you need a degree.
It's funny how the academic types can't figure out what a blue collar working autist can. I came to my conclusions on the doohickey via realizing that abundance plus lack of explanation meant its purpose must be especially mundane, and there isn't a more mundane purpose than logistics. It's even more mundane than sanitation, because at least you can be motivated to complain about sanitation.

Even in spite of his clear merit, they wouldn't take him because he was diagnosed autistic. He probably knew that, and didn't bother trying to plead his case and just took the opportunity to really show them who's boss. That's really a shame, still.

This Autist kid sounds like me. Then again I am a Autist who is interested in Military History and Military Stuff. It would have been a dream to have a opportunity in real life like this.
Just a shame that the Autistic People are just automatically discounted from the Military, because they are widly thought to be too out of the box for the army. TBH I wouldn't mind it.
The Dutch are planning on bringing back a years service, so I maybe able to join in the future.
I dont think the Dutch are actually planning that? Some want it, alot dont?
But remember what my man said: "The Dutch army doesnt even have kevlar, enough bullets, tanks or enough troops".
Yeah, in the British Navy it turned out a fairly high ranking officer was autistic. Organisations need to stop automatically disqualifying people if they are autistic. If they find out a person is autistic they should psychologically evaluate them on a case by case basis. Some people have rather severe autism which would certainly disqualify them from the army or other lines of works, but other times the person's autism is milder and just ends up in a slightly quirky person who could work in that organisation just fine.
@@dabtican4953 in some cases it gives them more of an advantage. If you look though history a lot of famous figures in the military have been quirky and eccentric likely having autism before it was a thing. Just look at people like Thomas Cochrane, "Mad" Jack Churchill who asides carrying a Bow and Sword into battle. Used to throw his suitcase out of the train window when it passed his house so he wouldn't have to carry it with him from the station. Lastly there was also David Sterling who founded the SAS
If you can get in shape, you can go private. Do a couple years as an unarmed guard with absolutely any security company. Then upgrade your license to armed guard and do a couple years of those jobs. Then take additional disciplines, such as executive protection, site management, and close protection. You do that you’ll be a highly competent, private security contractor, and have more than the qualifications to get sent basically anywhere but the active front line.
At least his class realized that they should probably just exit the military before any of that actually happens

The Taliban must have had a lot of Autists because hot damn, did this predict the outcome in Afghanistan pretty well
Internet and phones won the war for the Taliban. They gained a lot from technological advancements, constantly improving their communications. The US military made relatively few technological advancements. It had very little to do with strategic complexity, it was simply an arm's race that the US had underestimated. They couldn't fathom how much more powerful communication (and therefore coordination) would get throughout the years.
Imagine losing an arms race to goat herders lol @@ETBrooD

In preindustrial societies people on the spectrum are seen as prophetic people. While in industrial societies people on the spectrum struggle to fit in. Well, some of them were burnt at the stake too. But overall the more "primitive" the society is in social and material complexity the more everyone has a place in it.
"I don't want to work for an embarrassment." I didn't realize a burn could be so cold.
That kid is why people with disabilities aren't allowed to join the army..
That kid is why people with disabilities *should* be allowed to join the army.
This is a totally believable 4chan story, definitely yup 100% believable.
They tell you on the front of the site that everything on 4chan is fake
What if OP called the guy autistic one more time? Would you believe the story then? No? Shit, I'm all out of ideas...
That's the kind of guy who gets reincarnated 356 b.c in Macedonia, only to take over nothing but the coast spanning from Europe to Asia.
Cracked me up, what a legend
I kept reading the “Autist” in the title as “Artist”
1. In late february 1949, after successfuly capturing Yogyakarta city that functioned as Indonesia's capital, dutch delegation announcing to the UN council that indonesia is over, indonesia is no more. Few days later in the early morning of 1 March 1949, dutch military in yogyakarta got completely destroyed by indonesian forces and yogyakarta city then liberated. This sending shock to dutch leaders both in batavia and netherland that their huge forces in yogyakarta are being destroyed by indonesian forces that fight using bow, spear, machete and broken japanese gun. Then in april 1949 in UN assembly meeting, dutch delegation receiving alot of mockery from every UN member countries. Even US delegation looking at them in disbelief that instead of using money from marshal plan to rebuild their country, dutch government using it to annexing other country, their ex-colony. It's apear that dutch government never expecting that just in hours after indonesian forces liberating yogyakarta, indonesian diplomats spreading news about the liberation and everything that dutch military had done to the entire world, and it spark alot of angers. Then in december 1949, after being badly humiliated, dutch government then acknowledging indonesian independence
2. After signing document of acknowledgement to indonesian independence, dutch government is supposed to return the entire dutch-east indies teritory to indonesia. But, instead of doing it, they are holding and reject to return west papua to indonesia. This causing both indonesia and dutch to return in diplomatic and military conflict again. The result is in 1960, indonesia launcing a trikora camaign to liberating west papua from dutch control. At first allied nations such as US, UK and Aus expecting the conflict won't be that big. But when they know the scale of military preparation indonesia had prepare, they are horified because the scale of military arsenal indonesia had prepare is similiar to the scale of military arsenal as if Indonesia is participated in WW2. Afrsid that the conflict may restarting ww2, UK quickly isolating indonesia from foreign intervention and US pressurizing dutch to surrender. Dutch government felt humiliated because of this that they don't have any other option and had to return west papua to indonesia
If the army is so shit he should've tried fixing it, that's what the better do
No way that's happening in any European country without a coup d'etat or a revolution. Systemic military issues are tied into every other systemic issue here, which are invariably the result of the nation's entire political body being made of utterly selfish morons. You go to the Netherlands, you go to Britain, you go to France, you go to Belgium, you go to Romania, you go to Germany, you go to Hungary, you can go whenever - it doesn't change. Nordic countries are marginally better, but give it a few years, and they'll be in hell with the rest of us. Every single politician who gets anywhere in their country is a slimy, double-talking creep who cares solely stuffing as much money as they can into their pockets, before the outrage from all the scandals they've created inevitability pushes their party out of office.
