Also, do you think the BMI is an accurate way to determine how much weight we might need to lose to be healthy?
Lastly, if you're comfortable talking about it, how much exercise do you get?

I get a lot of walking and do a lot of walking...it makes me feel better. I too also lift weights at home and do some sit ups and little excercises. I use to go to the gym but I have a medical issue and had to stop for a while....but I want to go back.
I believe its important to keep the body moving. Meditation, stretching are also a must. But its not just the exercise, its eating well too.
I dont care about being anorexic or even looking like a body builder...to me both are unhealthy and are addictions.

I started off by walking about 5 miles every day, and I kept it going for most days since, even increasing it to average about 8 miles a day.
I also go to a gym to do cardio and weight training 2 to 3 times a week.
Overall I eat much healthier than I did prior to working out, but I still eat some junk food every week. It's a work in progress.

When I went to school, gym class was everyday. These days the kids are lucky to get any gym at all. I think that is one cause. Also back in the day, cartoons only came on on Saturday mornings. We were forced to get creative outdoors. Now kids have 100s of shows to watch 24/7. Then throw in game systems, smartphones and tablets, social media and game apps, and its no wonder they stay inside. Young adults and adults are guilty of this too. They've all gotten lazy to a degree.
I try to eat right for the most part, but I still treat myself. Just ate 3 leftover brownie bites and pizza from the party lol. I try to stay active though. Love doing things outdoors. I think taking karate for 8 years also helped me out. And if a jam comes, Im the first to start dancing

Peoples bodies were not made to live in times where food is always easily available. Peoples bodies are made to binge and pack on fat when food is plentiful so when the starvation periods occur they can survive them. But when food is plentiful all the time, there are no starvation periods, that of course leads to people packing on fat all the time and the result--obesity.

I was working unfortunately.
I came home to a few injured trick or treaters though who had got caught in the traps I had laid outside my house.

I had to look this up just to make sure.Quote from: "shin"
Underweight = <18.5
Normal weight = 18.5–24.9
Overweight = 25–29.9
Obesity = BMI of 30 or greater
I would have to lose almost half of my body weight to be considered a normal weight according to this
This particular calculator ask if I'm Asian.http://www.smartbmicalculator.com/
Hows the weight loss going?
I've lost 70 lbs so far.

You are taking it slow..
Do you build muscle?
How much do you benchpress?
Lifting tightens you up.
Can you run?

The health professionals I've talked to about this have convinced me that only losing 1 to 2 lbs a week is the best way to keep the weight off and not develop loose skin, which has happened when I went at it full force and lost around 10 lbs a week on more than one occasion.
Yes, I find it's not really as much of a challenge just to build muscle mass as it is to develop and maintain lean muscle mass. Sometimes ketosis wastes away my muscles, but I seem to be able to maintain and build upon my strength levels over time.
I have one of those scales that gives you an estimate of how much fat, muscle and water weight is in your body when you step on it barefoot. The fat had ranged from 28% to 8%, which can be difficult to believe... but I have no reason to lie about it.
Yes, I know firsthand how lifting weights can affect my physique. I think it's a better solution for those who are attempting to put on weight. Cardio is much better at maintaining and developing a leaner and tighter body with a high level of endurance... if that's what you're going for.
Yes, I can run When I was at 310 lbs I ran a mile in 13:27. It's not a great time, but it was my first attempt at running continuously since high school.
The gym I go to only has two benches set up with free weight barbells (one is in a cage, and you practically have to make reservations to use it)), and it's one of the "attractions" that seems to always have someone using it, so I haven't used it in a long time. On a few different machines designed to work the upper body, I can do more than half of the rack, but it varies greatly and it wasn't something I was actively pursuing for bragging rights.
On a rowing machine connected to a pulley with a rack of plates I can do the whole thing, which is 235 lbs for a set of 10. On an inclined bench press machine I can do at least 200 lbs for a set of 10, but I haven't tried for maximum weight on it, and on an over head press machine I really don't look at the weight much because it's something I do while I'm waiting to use another machine, but I'd say I can do at least 170 lbs for a set of 10.
When I do concentrate on strength training, I use a lesser amount of weight for 3 to 4 sets of 8 to 10 reps.

If you lose that much weight on a fat burning diet and a training routine, you are gonna get a flabby gut.
I dont think you can have a very lean body.. You are built like a gorilla.
A mile is just 1,6kliks..
You gotta run atleast 2,7kliks in 12mins.
Nice.. Long sets build up stamina.
I dont go for max.. I just do 20-30 sets with 100kg.
Better not to over push yourself so that the training doesnt start to taste like shit.

I think you're quite a bit taller than I am, but often whenever I hear about any guy who weighs even 300 lbs they tend to have a shape that resembles a pear.
I think the only part of my gut that currently looks flabby doesn't stick out much. It's supposed to be the most difficult area to tone, but I think I can work it away in under 6 months.
I think I would have to lose some significant muscle mass to attain a lanky body, but I think I could do it if I really wanted to based on how much I've already lost. This morning I weigh 301.8 lbs.
2.7km is 1.6 miles. I don't think I could have run that in 12 minutes even when I weighed 160 lbs. I can look into seeing how much faster I can run that distance when I get to 275 lbs.
It sounds like you're at least as strong as I am, but probably stronger. I think I might get temporarily weaker if I lose too much weight too fast (due to ketosis). When I get nearer to my target weight of 250 lbs I plan to work on increasing endurance and speed more than strength.
Do you ever try to do push ups, chin ups, or dips? I used to do them as a teenager. I was able to do about 60 push ups, 17 chin ups, and 12 dips back then. I think it would be exponentially more difficult after getting past the 200 lb mark. Right now I'm doing girly push ups and planks until I can better hold up my frame.
What other kind of exercises do you do?

On an inclined bench press machine I can do at least 200 lbs for a set of 10, but I haven't tried for maximum weight on it, and on an over head press machine I really don't look at the weight much because it's something I do while I'm waiting to use another machine, but I'd say I can do at least 170 lbs for a set of 10.
When I do concentrate on strength training, I use a lesser amount of weight for 3 to 4 sets of 8 to 10 reps.
If you lose that much weight on a fat burning diet and a training routine, you are gonna get a flabby gut.
I dont think you can have a very lean body.. You are built like a gorilla.:laugh:
A mile is just 1,6kliks..
You gotta run atleast 2,7kliks in 12mins.
Nice.. Long sets build up stamina.
I dont go for max.. I just do 20-30 sets with 100kg.
Better not to over push yourself so that the training doesnt start to taste like shit.
I think you're quite a bit taller than I am, but often whenever I hear about any guy who weighs even 300 lbs they tend to have a shape that resembles a pear.
I think the only part of my gut that currently looks flabby doesn't stick out much. It's supposed to be the most difficult area to tone, but I think I can work it away in under 6 months.
I think I would have to lose some significant muscle mass to attain a lanky body, but I think I could do it if I really wanted to based on how much I've already lost. This morning I weigh 301.8 lbs.
2.7km is 1.6 miles. I don't think I could have run that in 12 minutes even when I weighed 160 lbs. I can look into seeing how much faster I can run that distance when I get to 275 lbs.
It sounds like you're at least as strong as I am, but probably stronger. I think I might get temporarily weaker if I lose too much weight too fast (due to ketosis). When I get nearer to my target weight of 250 lbs I plan to work on increasing endurance and speed more than strength.
Do you ever try to do push ups, chin ups, or dips? I used to do them as a teenager. I was able to do about 60 push ups, 17 chin ups, and 12 dips back then. I think it would be exponentially more difficult after getting past the 200 lb mark. Right now I'm doing girly push ups and planks until I can better hold up my frame.
What other kind of exercises do you do?
300 lbs is not that much for me.. I have my abs showing and the waist/shoulder ratio is correct.
You dont have that swimmers body type... More bulky type.
Its normal for a guy to run 2,7km in 12mins..
3km is the limit for cops and soldiers.
Chicks can run 2,3km in 12mins.
What do you eat?
I can do push ups indefinately so I get bored.. And they are not really that effective.
I do chin ups and dips.
You probably dont remember how to use all your muscles..
You should do real push ups.. You'll notice approvement in a short time.
I have my routine..
Warm up with a rowing machine.
Lat pulldown.
Thighs.
Leg press.
Abs.
Back.
Biceps.
Bench press.
Sides.
Repeat, repeat, repeat... And then stretching.
I also punch the boxing bag.
I jog almost everyday and ride a bicycle.

Living in a midwestern city you see a lot of people who can't run more than a block. Everything is set up for convenience with public transportation even reaching to the outskirts of town. The food is the worst culprit. For every fruit and vegetable market there are 10 to 20 places that sell fast food and more than half of them deliver. Hack, I just heard of a service called Door Dash that will go buy your groceries, run errands that involve dealing with merchants, even pick up and wash your dirty laundry and bring it back for you.
Most people have and rely on their smart phones, and it quickly becomes their lifeline and excuse to notleave their neighborhood.
We have a holiday coming up (called Thanksgiving which I'm sure you've heard of). It's basically an excuse to eat until you're full. It's customary for guests to bring some food item to add to the feast. It can get quite ridiculous. I've seen worse than this.
Lately, I've been eating turkey, chicken, or some kind of whiter meat as a staple for my protein, alternating with fish once or twice a week. I drink coffee in the mornings, and sometimes I have fruit or something with more carbs like bread. There isn't a lot of variance in my meals right now.
The thing is, I want to work out harder than I currently do, but pretty much everyone except you is telling me I should keep it slow and steady since my primary goal is weight loss for now.

You are on a diet that eats away your muscle mass.
When i was well over 300 lbs, I thought I could stand to lose some muscle mass.
I started seeing how much I could stand to shrink while still maintaining and increasing strength, and it made me wonder what kind of balance between strength, lean muscle, and endurance were possible for me near this weight. I could stand to work harder at it, but it's not really an obsession right now.
Some of it is back and forth progress, but I'm more concerned with the weight loss... at least until I get under 280 lbs.

60km for 3-4 days isn't surprising if there's ups and downs forest/jungle and mountain terrains along with 60 lbs of gear on their back. We used to go backpack camping in some hilly forest in Ontario and surprisingly it took us 6 hours just to travel 5km with barely any stops.

Navy seals is even worse.
I'm guessing they used to be tougher..
Now there is a bunch of mothers and leftie queers deciding how to run a military.
60km for 3-4 days isn't surprising if there's ups and downs forest/jungle and mountain terrains along with 60 lbs of gear on their back. We used to go backpack camping in some hilly forest in Ontario and surprisingly it took us 6 hours just to travel 5km with barely any stops.
P Company ( Preselection for the Regiment ) ( SAS )
Have to cover 40 Miles in UNDER 20 Hours .
Carrying a 60 lb Bergan ( Rucksack ) weapon / Belt Kit and water .
This is carried out over PEN Y FAN in the Brecon Beacons in Wales / England .
None of it is flat . Its a Mountainous / valley region .
Recruits are hit with questions by the DS ( Directing Staff all Regiment blokes ) at any time .

I wouldn't be surprised if SAS are still the very top elites whether it's at sea, land or air, CQB, special OPs, against all odds etc. Not to mention the police and military organization created by or under them have an amazing test results, like Canada's ETF and Hong Kong's SDU still remain among the best based on international standards thanks to being part of the legacy of the SAS.

10kliks - 2,5h - one stop.. Hills and swamps..
With 60lbs combat gear.
2,5h so that even the average Joe can make it.
That is the pace.
60kliks takes less than a day... Way less..
That speed is not fun and you probably took your time to observe the view.
We had our combat gear on and were dragging an artillery piece uphill, downhill, through swamps and through fields of bedrock splits.. Over 40kliks.
Made a bunker for the gun and foxholes for ourselves.
All within a day.

I duno how do you guys achieve that level, it just sounds utterly insane, if not far beyond hell to me, I mean 40km is pretty much a whole marathon with 60lbs and in an all terrain enviroment, this is even what all special forces struggle to achieve.

We usually had atleast 2 anti-tank mines strapped to our combat vest.
10kilos each.
Once you took those off.. It was like hovering in the air.
Just the 60lbs didnt even feel like extra weight.. It was your normal state.
We ran whenever it was possible.
This was just us anti-tank troops.. The guerrillas had slightly harder training.
Then theres the parachute/spec jägers.
You gotta be properly motivated.. The body hardly ever gives up.. Mind gives up far easier.
I dont think SAS is today what it once was.
Militaries all around europe have gone softer because feminists want women in the military too.

Here is an example of Navy Seals head test..Quote from: "Odinson"
A wheel steadily rolls 552 times per minute..
How many times does the wheel roll in 30mins?
A. 276 times
B. 5520
C. 8280
D. 16560 times.
You have to be Einstein to figure out this one...
Thats easy .
552 times 30 = 16560 .

Assuming it's not a trick question, it's pretty easily to figiure this out.
It is not a trick question.. The answer is D.
Even without the options, it should take only about 2 secs to figure it out.
3 x 552 and add a zero.
It isn't Einstein territory.

The running test is also over twice as long as in the Navy Seals.
The swimming test is also longer with less time.
For some reason the US marines and SAS are renown...
But I have seen marines cry like babies during basic training in here.
Men dont cry...
I´m just comparing the armies..
Yankee pussies think they are tough men..
And finnish army is mostly conscript army..

Todays Teenagers cant even pass the Brit Army Basic physical test .Quote from: "IRISH KAM"
Canadians have No chance . thats a given .
Thats pretty lame..
Even SAS is a pussy unit.
The physical test is a joke.
It takes them few days to hike 60kliks..
Navy seals is even worse.
I'm guessing they used to be tougher..
Now there is a bunch of mothers and leftie queers deciding how to run a military.
60km for 3-4 days isn't surprising if there's ups and downs forest/jungle and mountain terrains along with 60 lbs of gear on their back. We used to go backpack camping in some hilly forest in Ontario and surprisingly it took us 6 hours just to travel 5km with barely any stops.
10kliks - 2,5h - one stop.. Hills and swamps..
With 60lbs combat gear.
2,5h so that even the average Joe can make it.
That is the pace.
60kliks takes less than a day... Way less..
That speed is not fun and you probably took your time to observe the view.
We had our combat gear on and were dragging an artillery piece uphill, downhill, through swamps and through fields of bedrock splits.. Over 40kliks.
Made a bunker for the gun and foxholes for ourselves.
All within a day.I duno how do you guys achieve that level,it just sounds utterly insane, if not far beyond hell to me, I mean 40km is pretty much a whole marathon with 60lbs and in an all terrain enviroment, this is even what all special forces struggle to achieve.
He hasn't Zetsu.
I'm have simular thoughts too, what Odinson mentioned sounds like a legendary feats done by famous historical figures like generals, knights and samurais.
Odinson is a bullshitter.
No fucking kidding.
I aint bullshitting..
You just have to keep going even if you spit blood and vomit all the time.
if you lose consciousness.. Thats okay.. You´ll keep going after you wake up.

Conscripts are the most Unreliable soldiers ya can get .
Conscripts are there cos they have to be .
So when it comes to training they fuck about and refuse orders .
After 165 days the conscript then becomes a Civvy .
Britain has a Professional Army .
An Army that Chose to be there as a professional career .
In the Brit Army after basic training , even a CHEF serves another 3 yrs 8 Mths .
In the Brit Army a Chef serves a longer basic Training than Russian Speznaz . FACT .

What rank were ya ?
FACT : 99 % of the Russian army are illiterate peasants .
If a Russian conscript can Read and write he is put forward for Officer training .
Yeah , just cos he is literate .
If an Officer can MAP read he is then put forward for Spetsnaz training .
If being able to Map read makes u a candidate for the Russian Special forces , than shows the quality of the Russian army .
When i was in Germany , we used to get shown films of the soviet Forces in Berlin .
When they were on maneuvers , they had soldiers , say , at a cross roads , waving Red and White stripped batons in the direction , they should be going .
As the russian APC / Tank driver couldnt map read .
If the Soviets ever did cross into West germany , all we had to do was snipe the Map reader in the section and the Russians were fucked .
Anyway the country is now unified .
FACT : The Russian Govt only started issuing its soldiers with SOCKS in 2013 !
Some regiments are still wearing the Old soviet ' Pull On ' boot in 2017 .

But I´m busted to staff sergeant if I wanna be with my platoon.
Its not different in the US army.. Most americans think Paris is a country..¨
You can survive their training if you are not completely retarded or addicted to donuts.
Russkies live in siberia.. They know how to use a compass and a map.
American soldiers dont know how to navigate even after 10years of service... They need GPS.
The traffic control is normal in every military.. When you are moving a lot of equiptment, the colums need to be shown the way.
Seriously.. Can you find a specific place in a strange city even if you have a map?
You cant see shit from a tank.. The peek hole is very small...
And you cant exactly halt the whole colum of tanks just to have look around..
The footwraps are a tradition...

Lol how can you say that? The SEALs lost 48 of their members during the Vietnam war, but then they took down 10,000 Vietcong members not in conventional but in guerillia warfare of one of the most cunning and nastiest wars ever recorded in history. While it's true the average US infantry are no match for Japanese soldiers during WWII, but there was something called US Marines that the Japanese remain ignorant of their existence until they regretted horribly.

Then again 30-40 navy seals died in a hostage extraction in the middle-east... Few years ago.
They seem to have marched in like early 19th century line infantry..
Horrible casualties and hostages dead..
The SEALS probably did recon, called airstrikes etc. during Vietnam war..
The japanese did fine against USA...
Outnumbered 3 to 1..
Not even mentioning the war material.
Had the americans been alone in the pacific war... Imperial japanese victory would have been more than likely.
I like the japanese.. They are like the germans of the east..
The chinese are like the french..
The US marines come here to train every year...
They and some special forces from other countries.
We are experts in the arctic warfare..
Anyhow.. A marine almost drowned in the icy river... I grabbed his collar and lifted him on the ice.
Also a few of them started to cry after being lost in the woods..
They backtalked me because we deserted them.
The marine sergeant said that the training went well but I made a hate-filled evaluation to my superiors.

I duno where you get your sources but the biggest lost of SEALs were when one of their transport helicoptor got shot down by an RPG, losing like 20 SEALs, an a few delta force, ranger and marines, but 30-40 died in one OPs is hardly believable, dun think the entire war in Iraq and Afgan ever suffered that much lost.
And in the pacific war, it was a pretty much one on one of the Yanks vs the Japanese, I mean dun expect the Russians to do much when they've already lost before Pearl Harbor and not to mention their supply line is greatly outstretched to the east coast, and China was way behind in tech with only peasants and farmers bravely fighting a hopeless war, just like the Polish. Plus where did you get your source saying the Yanks out numbered the Japanese 3 to 1, considering US only had double the population of Japan, while the Americans have to deploy most of their troops to Europe, and the remaining left to the Pacific, overall from most battle it was a pretty even match, if not it should have been the IJA that have out number the US marines corps in guerilla warfare, considering the Japanese lost over 2 million troops while the Americans only lost only about 400,000 from fighting against both sides, the Nazis and IJA/IJN.

I duno where you get your sources but the biggest lost of SEALs were when one of their transport helicoptor got shot down by an RPG, losing like 20 SEALs, an a few delta force, ranger and marines, but 30-40 died in one OPs is hardly believable, dun think the entire war in Iraq and Afgan ever suffered that much lost.
And in the pacific war, it was a pretty much one on one of the Yanks vs the Japanese, I mean dun expect the Russians to do much when they've already lost before Pearl Harbor and not to mention their supply line is greatly outstretched to the east coast, and China was way behind in tech with only peasants and farmers bravely fighting a hopeless war, just like the Polish. Plus where did you get your source saying the Yanks out numbered the Japanese 3 to 1, considering US only had double the population of Japan, while the Americans have to deploy most of their troops to Europe, and the remaining left to the Pacific, overall from most battle it was a pretty even match, if not it should have been the IJA that have out number the US marines corps in guerilla warfare, considering the Japanese lost over 2 million troops while the Americans only lost only about 400,000 from fighting against both sides, the Nazis and IJA/IJN.
We get different info on the military operations.. Very plain and simple reports.
They dont like to admit how many they lost because its demoralizes troops and civilians.
I´ve even wrote my own reports on how the ops went...
We did operate with the rest of the coalition.
SEALS and Delta force might be so arrogant that they forget all the tactics.
Bad recon reports... The place being more heavily fortified than expected.
I´m not making this stuff up.
In the pacific war/ asian theatre, the americans had australian, british, chinese etc. troops.. Over 20million in total..
They are not gonna use their own troops if they have chinese locals to hurl at the enemy.
They did the same in the Iraq war..
The japanese were grossly outnumbered.

Just did a bit of research and found out the Japanese had about 8 million military personal while the US only have 3.6 million in the pacific side, considering that nearly all US personals are on board ships and planes and they've out number the Japanese in naval and aero combat, then there's no doubt Japan had a far greater number of land force compared to the American counterpart(US marines and their regular infantry).Quote from: "Zetsu"
The japanese were outmatched in both land and sea..
Americans werent the only ones doing the fighting.

Who else besides the Americans put up a serious fight against Imperial Japan?
The British were thrashed by Japan in the battle of Malaya.

US marines and the SAS think they are a bunch of jedi..Quote from: "Odinson"
Hell.. They always cut down germans, russkies etc. like wheat in the movies.ac_biggrin
But when they go up against real special forces, they wake up and realize that they are nothing but imperial stormtroopers.
No skills, no balls..
Lol how can you say that? The SEALs lost 48 of their members during the Vietnam war, but then they took down 10,000 Vietcong members not in conventional but in guerillia warfare of one of the most cunning and nastiest wars ever recorded in history. While it's true the average US infantry are no match for Japanese soldiers during WWII, but there was something called US Marines that the Japanese remain ignorant of their existence until they regretted horribly.ac_cool
Then again 30-40 navy seals died in a hostage extraction in the middle-east... Few years ago.
They seem to have marched in like early 19th century line infantry..
Horrible casualties and hostages dead..
The SEALS probably did recon, called airstrikes etc. during Vietnam war..
The japanese did fine against USA...
Outnumbered 3 to 1..
Not even mentioning the war material.
Had the americans been alone in the pacific war... Imperial japanese victory would have been more than likely.
I like the japanese.. They are like the germans of the east..
The chinese are like the french..
The US marines come here to train every year...
They and some special forces from other countries.
We are experts in the arctic warfare..
Anyhow.. A marine almost drowned in the icy river... I grabbed his collar and lifted him on the ice.
Also a few of them started to cry after being lost in the woods..
They backtalked me because we deserted them.

They didn't under report the lost, considering the Yanks greatly out numbered the Japanese in carriers which were the key point in winning the war and suffering the least lost, iirc in naval battles for every ship the US lost they took down 5 IJN ships with them, for aero it was a 1 to 10 ratio thanks to their superior P-51 Mustang and Corsair fighters against the aging Zero.
The Yanks did use their marines and infantry personal, in fact they did most of the fighting while the horribly equipted Chinese and the Brits being too slow and out paced despite all their fortifications, both of them still didn't stand a chance against the IJA. I mean you'll be suprised how many islands the Yanks had to retake and fight over with the Japanese. The Chinese only fought in China while the Brits were only their to defend their colonies, everywhere else in the pacific was fought by the US to even sending troops to Japan.

That dumbo eared raccoon gave the US army orders to tolerate the towelhead culture..

Oh well, carry on.
I was finding the turn of events to be amusing.
"I once wrestled a two headed bear with one arm tied behind my back and one leg chained to a tree in the middle of a minefield under the sea. I almost didn't walk away from that one, but I discovered I was running low on cigarettes and the nearest shop was about 1500 miles away... a distance that would have taken me at least a day to sprint.
...so I pulled out a Swiss Army knife and gutted the bear in one fell swoop, chewed through the chain, and drank the sea dry... but not before using the bear carcass to detonate every single mine in my path. Then I made a nifty coat out of what was left of his hide and carried on. I got there just in the nick of time, but I had no currency on me, so I just murdered the merchant with a Twinkie I found on the shelf and took what I wanted... and that's how I become the Emperor of Antarctica and spread my seed unto every continent.
You won't find me in any history books because I learned how to escape from the time space continuum."

Sure the US could have won alone, just threatening to drop the 3rd atomic bomb on Tokyo was enough to force Japan to surrender without having to put up with anymore bloodshed.

Oh, I'm not depressed. I just never goy into the habit of putting up Christmas decorations, and I don't really give gifts to people.
When I was a child, our parents used to make us help put up the tree and decorations and I quickly associated this with being a chore. Also, my parents often just asked us what we wanted for Christmas, and if it was something reasonable (like a toy) they would get it for us.. They even let us open our presents early in later years.
I guess you could say my view of Christmas is sort of defective. I think my brother and sister feel the same way.

Sure the US could have won alone, just threatening to drop the 3rd atomic bomb on Tokyo was enough to force Japan to surrender without having to put up with anymore bloodshed.
But there was a lot of fighting prior to that..
They might have not reached that point without allies.
USA has a habit of arriving late to the battle... And then claiming victory..
WWI and WW2 invasion of Normandy.
WW2 mopping up the wehrmacht remnant was really heroic stuff.
Nazi-Germany would have eventually defeated soviet union.. And then USA..
Not both at once.

The US armed forces are about a hundred years ahead of chinese army.
The chinese have nothing to match the american navy.. They cannot destroy the US carriers.
The US soldiers are superior to the chinese soldiers.
The chinese only have pawns of their evil empire..
The americans are more independent.

I dont think SJW´s and other pampered kids really realize how much superior US/western armies are.
China poses no threat to any1.. And the chinese leaders know they cannot win and thats why they are pissing their pants when one US destroyer sails through those disputed waters and islands.
The chinese can say something but ultimately have no means to enforce their views upon any1 other than their own people whom seem to be largely poor and suffering..
The chinese army dont even want to fight for their leaders whom are small dicked pricks.
The chinese are either super rich or super poor.

Shin..Quote from: "Odinson"
Do you celebrate white christmas or black christmas?
If you mean Kwanzaa, I don't actually know anyone who celebrates it.
Not that...
Black christmas... Black santa and everything. :D
Kwanzaa is a black supremacist holiday and it needs to be forbidden.
Dun think Shin even realize the idea of Black Christmas exist or gives a damn about it, one thing for sure is I trust ppl like Shin.

Anyhow.. I know how the military thinks on foreign soil..
Better to use the local troops because its their land...
Americans are not as well motivated to fight than the local chinese..
Let us not forget that you were a good soldier in those times if you knew how to shoot straight.
Veteran american soldiers even refused to land in normandy because only a fool attacks machine-guns head on...
They used fresh troops.. Idiots who didnt know shit.

Lol you're assuming again, the Chinese and British so called allies didn't accomplished anything accept lost the entire campaign and surrendered to the IJA in Malaysia/Sinagpore. It was the Yanks that started gaining the edge after sinking 3 of Japan's carriers during midway, winning battles after battles nonstop to a level even the brainwashed fearless Japanese lost all hope and morale, knowing they'll just lose every fight against the US. I can guarantee with or without allies the US would have easily won this one sided war anyways, not to mention Japan lost all their experienced fighter pilots while the Americans are known to take shifts between rookies and veterans to maintain a balance and preserve their flying aces. Since Japan hardly have any carriers left and their remaining battleships were just useless and easy target practices against dozens, waves after waves of US aircraft carrier bombers and fighters.
And for mainland Japan dun even get me started, lol, unlike Germany, the whole country is practically defenseless, even the troops deployed there expected fight tooth and nail were shocked to find out there was absolutely nothing stopping them from walking to the local cities, no radar, anti aircraft guns or searchlights, nothing but peace and quietness. So yea overall this was how the Japanese got annihilated by the US in conventional naval and aero battles, the only chance of resistance they had was guerilla warfare against the US marines on the pacific islands but eventually the US won all of them, despite all the bloody battle, especially the last few ones.
I'm not too familiar with the battles in Europe but didn't the Soviets crushed the Nazis near the end of the war in USSR? Not only were the German's supply line over stretched, but their soldiers, combat vehicles and tanks were never designed for the extreme cold in Russia, not just that but their tanks are were not match for the newer butt ugly Soviet tanks with superior slope armour design and same goes for their fighters, the luffwaffe fighters are just average at most.

Not really. I'm not feeling festive this year.Quote from: "shin"
How about you, Fash?
I'm sorry you are not in a festive mood shin..
I won't pry though..
I have such a bad cold that I didn't volunteer for the Salvation Army yesterday nor go to Sunday fellowship today..
But, I am on holidays now until January 2.
Oh, I'm not depressed. I just never goy into the habit of putting up Christmas decorations, and I don't really give gifts to people.
When I was a child, our parents used to make us help put up the tree and decorations and I quickly associated this with being a chore. Also, my parents often just asked us what we wanted for Christmas, and if it was something reasonable (like a toy) they would get it for us.. They even let us open our presents early in later years.
I guess you could say my view of Christmas is sort of defective. I think my brother and sister feel the same way.
What will you do Christmas eve and Christmas day shin?
Nothing special, really. I might go see a movie or just go out jogging.

For some reason the war lasted for years..
The japanese were putting up a fight.
They were being stalled big time...
Mainland Japan was invaded after they surrendered.. Of course there was no fighting..
Americans were not willing to go to war..
Heavy casualties would have been hard to explain.. They used other troops..
Soviets did get the germans on the run but they were not defeated.. The germans would have just regrouped..
Soviets were throwing a big part of their population against the german lines and they were getting mowed down.
The last soviet attack was intended to create an opening for the americans to land and stab the germans in the back...
The german equiptment was far superior to soviet/other allied equiptment but the soviets relied on quantity over quality..
The germans invented a lot of the stuff militaries use today.. Most of the stuff.. Most of the tactics aswell..
Soviets were just flooding the battlefields with crap.. :D

A thread about obesity, and physical fitness is about the second world war..Quote from: "Fashionista"
Oh well, carry on.
I was finding the turn of events to be amusing.
"I once wrestled a two headed bear with one arm tied behind my back and one leg chained to a tree in the middle of a minefield under the sea. I almost didn't walk away from that one, but I discovered I was running low on cigarettes and the nearest shop was about 1500 miles away... a distance that would have taken me at least a day to sprint.
...so I pulled out a Swiss Army knife and gutted the bear in one fell swoop, chewed through the chain, and drank the sea dry... but not before using the bear carcass to detonate every single mine in my path. Then I made a nifty coat out of what was left of his hide and carried on. I got there just in the nick of time, but I had no currency on me, so I just murdered the merchant with a Twinkie I found on the shelf and took what I wanted... and that's how I become the Emperor of Antarctica and spread my seed unto every continent.
You won't find me in any history books because I learned how to escape from the time space continuum."

We're bombarded with propaganda at an early age about how great it is to live in the land of the free and that we owe it all to our military, and that if it weren't for our elite troops we would surely be speaking German today.

Well, making vodka is an art.. Finnish labels go to your head like a sledgehammer.. But some of the foreign liquors with higher alcohol content dont even give you a decent drunkness.
The truth is that without the soviets, americans would be speaking german now..
Americans like letting others do fighting for them and then claiming victory.
Looking at the casualties... WW2
Americans lose about 15k troops while the brits lose 200k troops...
The americans are either bulletproof supermen or they dont take part in the actual fighting.
