Scandal in the USA: And the "green berets" are fake ...

US News Agency Associated Press publishes material based on reports from sources in the US Army. The submission says that the command reward system for success in units and formations leads to an effect that negatively affects real success in the structure of the troops. In particular, it is noted that the command of the troops, in order to increase the number of “pluses”, goes for a frank understatement of standards in the training of military personnel.

In particular, it is reported about the outbreak of the scandal in the elite formation of US ground forces. Speech about the so-called "green berets".

An unknown person sent an e-mail to the military structures asking them to look into lowering the bar for training US special forces. The material states that the “green beret” of the special forces of the ground forces today can be obtained much easier than it was traditionally. The e-mail stated that violations of the regulations for the preparation and verification of fighters occur at the Fort Bragg military base in North Carolina.

Representatives of the military base command have already responded to the publication. Major-General Kurt Sonntag, commander of the ground forces, said he did not know what it was all about. According to General Sonntag, out of the 2 of thousands of applicants, the special forces green berets were received by “only 541 people”.

Sonntag:

We will thoroughly check all the claims contained in the material and conduct an internal investigation. But our standards relied and rely on items that correspond to the high quality of the training.

Probably it’s hard for gays and other transgender people to pass traditional standards. That understated. That is OK.

And in the Chirchik brigade, pulling up on the bar was done in body armor. And the “rise-coup” many guys did 100 or more times. It all depends on motivation. Now she is not there, but there is only a desire to comply with the standard on verification to increase salary.

We didn’t have our own armor plates, they were issued from somewhere several times when we went to military organizational special events. Particularly advanced ones pulled themselves up with kettlebells or pancakes, but now, when they are over 50, they suffer from this.

This image began to collapse when the facts of the Vietnam War began to emerge, and the subsequent fate of these American "heroes."
One massacre in Songmi is worth it ... On March 16, 1968, at least 502 civilians - 173 children, 183 women (17 pregnant women), 149 men (mostly old men) were killed by American soldiers in Songmi and in nearby villages.
These are actually these Rambas.

As it became known, a year earlier, US Army personnel massacred the civilian population of several villages that were part of the Milai and Mikhe (Mikhe) communities, destroying, according to various estimates, from 347 to 504 civilians. Many victims were tortured by American soldiers before the killing, and women were gang-raped. The crime provoked the indignation of the world community and became one of the most famous and symbolic events of the Vietnam War. Only one soldier (William Kelly) was found guilty by an American court, but after spending 3,5 years under house arrest, he was pardoned.

That is all American justice and the reaction of the world community.
I will say more, the "green berets" are inherently PUNISHMENT formations of the Third Reich SS battalion format. They were trained to destroy partisan foci, which was also done by the punishers of the SS.

That's cool! The tasks of STs are almost identical to the tasks of our Soviet-era special forces. I'm talking about the teams of Special Forces. Separate companies were closer to their "rangers", like DDR.

The Green Berets were trained all the way to the war with the partisans. In this, their special training is basic.

US Army Special Forces (US Army Special Forces) US Army Special Forces; also commonly known as Green Berets "Green Berets" - selected units of the US Army, intended for the conduct of guerrilla warfare and the organization of special operations (counter-guerrilla, sabotage, counter-terrorism and so on).

Not certainly in that way. not even at all like that. The US Army Special Forces, better known to our readers as the Green Berets, are special units of the US Army designed to conduct RDOs, guerrilla warfare behind enemy lines, counter-guerrilla and counter-terrorism operations and other things. The motto of the "green berets" was the slogan "Free from oppression" (De Oppresso Liber).

That's where you come from such degenerates?
Firstly, entering military service in the USA (at any military academy) without having a green card (that is, legally obtained RESIDENCE PERMIT) is impossible from the word at all. Once again, for s. The green card in itself, regardless of whether you are joining the army or not, gives you the right to obtain citizenship in 3 years. Therefore, you can sew up your bursting farts, but FOR RECEIVING CITIZENSHIP THERE IS NO NEED TO SERVE IN ARMED FORCES. You will get it anyway. Military service only allows you to speed up this process. And if you do not have a residence permit, then service in the armed forces does not shine for you in any role - neither in intelligence, nor as a cook.
Further, serving in the armed forces without citizenship is only possible in certain specialties, the vast majority of which are infantry, that is, a regular gunner. Any specialty that requires working with documents (for example, Intelligence), working with equipment (mechanics), and all officer specialties require CITIZENSHIP, which, I repeat once again, cannot be obtained through military service without being a resident.
All LRS (army reconnaissance), SF (green berets), Rangers - absolutely ALL they require the level of secrecy "SECRET" to enter the service, and this is 100% unbelievable without American citizenship.
So stupid people-putriots can continue to write tales that immigrants are fighting in the US Army for a green card, but if you are a smart person (what a putriot can not be by definition), then you yourself can easily find all this information on the Internet and make sure that the putriot - however, quite familiar to himself - is lying.

As for Vietnam - go see the statistics of the loss of Vietnam / North Vietnam and the United States.
With the same success, it can be said that the Afghan shepherds, who had not seen anything but plows and sheep before, had piled on the Soviet army.

It’s not at all clever ... our paratroopers are assault formations, and the “green berets” are punitive units. Different preparation and different tasks. What are you talking about? Much training is needed in order to come to the village after a preliminary bombing of the aircraft and shoot children and women?

They have their own song, and we have our own. Do not underestimate their training. These clips and our war films are also shown to them and set us an example. Physical training is checked at the reserve so that it would correspond to his rank in the service during mobilization. Agree that we have a hole in this issue?
Officer cockade on a soviet mole beret of Soviet times. Apparently there is some explanation for this. I'd like to know.

Soviet cockard on a beret? During the service, there was an attempt to exchange the Soviet badges for new ones with an eagle from the soldiers, they didn’t pass, they didn’t accept)))) many people did the demobilization, but all of them sculpted Soviet badges on berets because ..... it's hard to explain))) , the Soviet also tried to wear the badges, the officers waved a hand and everything returned to normal. it came to curiosities when the replenishment in school books and old-timers refused to fix new nuts on hats, because they saw that they looked like Vlasov.

But how joyfully everyone rushed. It’s a discussion to discuss - it’s nice to read. Green Berets - bullshit, etc.

It’s interesting, and if someone offended that he didn’t receive the maroon beret or the green beret of the GRU scout sends similar letters, will it be just as joyful to discuss? Or "Caesar's wife is beyond suspicion" and this is impossible ???.

Dear here, not the deeds are discussed, but the level of military training and the experience of military operations, including with regular parts of the KPA and SRV, and not just with irregular formations ....
The modern Russian Federation has only a short and only experience in conducting military operations with regular enemy forces, unlike the United States .... and there were no large-scale military air operations against enemy air forces after WWII ....

Dear, I deliberately emphasized the question - AGAINST WHICH GREEN TAKES ARE BROKEN. Hence the training. Go into a Vietnamese village full of children and old people and cut it to zero, this is the level of vaunted "green berets", that is, punitive in modern design.
As for the experience ... no one answered me like that- What REGULAR units of the enemy did the Green Berets fight? Regarding the fact that this is a special unit ... so they are not so small in the American army (I'm talking about the number of these greenest berets). There was a war, say, in Vietnam, where the "green berets" were used a lot, widely and without embarrassment ... so what?
The Vietnamese, without special preparations, equipment, napalm, cluster bombs, etc., rolled this vaunted military elite under the nut. After which Nixon shamefully paid compensation. Didn’t you say such a thing?

Andrew! And you do not confuse and do not replace concepts? The question is not about how much blood is on the hands of green berets or rangers, cats and everyone else. The essence of the article is that some berets are not earned without fulfilling the standards. You know, they fulfill the standards and what are they? I think no. Like many here wrote. The essence of the article is this, and not that they were punitive in Vietnam.
Or do you think that all these special forces, which should initially operate behind enemy lines and destroy everything and everyone will be white and fluffy?
I would not like to recall Afghanistan. So there, if necessary, the villages could be razed to the ground if they shot at our troops. Or not? Wasn't it like that?

I don’t confuse or replace anything, Vladimir. Emphasizing the facts of the punitive operations of the "green berets" AGAINST PEACEFUL RESIDENTS, I am talking about the level of training and the tasks for which this formation of troops has been created. Against which REGULAR units did these combatants conduct combat operations can you answer me?

Dear Vladimir, they were not only punitive in Vietnam, the "green berets" were a priori created according to the patterns of the PUNISHING UNITS of the SS, imprisoned for the destruction of partisan detachments. Do not you know.

You can recall Afghanistan, why not? Answer me the question: Were there examples similar to the Songmi massacre in which our paratroopers in Afghanistan participated?
And the article is just about the level of training of the "green berets." So what level are we talking about, if the tasks and the creation of this type of troops are punitive operations, and this includes operations against civilians, taking into account preliminary cleansing by air (recalls the recent refusal to remove cluster bombs from weapons) and ax attacks?

[Ayratelinsion]

Sorry to interrupt your conversation, but what you are talking about is a moral and ethical issue.
The total destruction of the enemy on enemy territory, among other things, is extremely advisable. A decrease in the enemy’s population, a reduction in the gene pool, and banal intimidation are the factors that weaken the enemy for at least a couple of generations. And this is not a little.

Do you think not? Total demographic losses are estimated at more than 25 million people. The population of the USSR in 41 was about 200 million. Less 12 percent is not an easing? Moreover, most young people are of reproductive age.
The heroes were able to rebuild and raise the country so high with such losses!

I love history, I propose to take an excursion into the past and see the affairs / events of bygone days.
What can be found \ read memoirs, military analytics and all sorts of different reports \, consider historical denunciations!
Briefly - all the old, successful in the beginning, rich states / empires have a tendency, let's say, to "rot"!
Decrease in motivation, loss of t.s. young enthusiasm and other losses in the state itself is transferred to citizens.
Army - why should the fighters "rest" on meeting the standards that are really designed to increase the chances of survival in battle. These standards were written. blood. The fighters are sure that on the battlefield due to the advantage in technical means, weapons, etc. they don’t have to fight at the limit of strength why do they "get stuck" during preparation ???
Examples, and for a long time, and recently are full!
The Romans are barbarians, the Saudis are the Hussites, the SA are the Mujahideen, the Yankees are Vietnamese and further down the list.
The command staff of the identity will not be too hard to stop, if the plug goes with the implementation of the standards ... they need to fulfill the plan, bonuses, awards, the title of "earn."
In short, there are prerequisites, but what I really have, I won’t guess / fantasize.
Can we place an order for Wikileaks? Let the reports, analytics and a real comparison of standards ... get!

[Victor jnnjdfy]

Sergey, this is nonsense. There were "maroon berets" in the USSR. In the year 1985, I heard that there are "red berets" in the Moscow Region, who are also e ... ut not childish. Itself at that time served in a good place with the romantic name of Bear Lakes. By the way, among the lakes there lived special forces of the airborne forces. It was also invented in the Soviet Union, and not in the post-Soviet era, as many believe (military unit 46131).

Cho is not by European rules that the military live in the United States. It is necessary to introduce more broadly the participation of transgender people, gays and all kinds of perverts in the army and “green berets”, this will increase the tolerance and rights of perverts in the army, and as for combat readiness, this is not the main thing for the world military dominant.

The second green beret in the photo, sergeant, on top of the sign (badge) "Combat infantryman." Awarded for direct participation in hostilities as part of infantry units, plus the bottom qualification mark of the ranger and paratrooper (in the form of a crescent), the mark of a paratrooper. There are many awards in the US Ministry of Defense, both for successes in the service and for the medals of military campaigns. I see the sergeant’s ribbons of medals “For the service of national defense” (top row, leftmost) - this is given out to everyone who serves in the army during the hostilities, it doesn’t matter if you really fight or not, and “For service in the expeditionary forces of the global war on terrorism "(second row, also leftmost) - 30 days continuously in the b / d zone in a particular campaign: Afghanistan, Iraq. It seems that his first medal is a Silver Star. this is a serious reward at the level of our order of Courage

STs are designed for a depth of about 3 thousand km. Are there many regular troops?

[SpN V]

The Green Berets are not so simple, in fact it is a special unit of the CIA under the "cover" of the army. The counterpart and counterbalance in Soviet times was not the GRU army special forces as many people think, but the special groups of the KGB of the USSR of the First Main Directorate (KUOS later OTC, aka Vympel).

[First iron-faced]

The massacre in Songmi is the work of one of the battalions of the 23rd Infantry Division, the green berets are out of place here. Of course, their units specialize in reconnaissance and sabotage operations, which automatically means counteraction to all kinds of rebels

[wanderer_032]

Well, that's right. If this happens, then we can assume that in Fort Bragg there are mass sets and mass releases.
And this, in turn, can mean that somewhere in the world a big mess is being prepared. And for such a mess, mass training is needed. The quality of training will certainly fall, but this is acceptable damage.
But these Orkharovites, of mass production, even with simplified training, which in our military terminology is called accelerated courses, can do a lot of bad things.
