>>85472438Alright. Patton's style is to be super aggressive. His special skills are attacking with fast mobility, and under less than ideal supply chains. Combining recon with a fast reaction force to take advantage of momentary weakness. And taking advantage of new tech.
He was frequently held back by British style generals who liked to take a long time to set up artillery, fixed emplacements, supply chains and support camps.
If there's one dude you wanted leading the charge against fixed blitzmench flakturn towers, it's Patton.
>>85479827What caught lots of people off guard is how fast Russia industrialized, and how aggressive they were politically, going from nearly losing Moscow, to building the Warsaw pact, and a critical player in China going communist as well.
>>85480232Don't underestimate the importance of the bottom line.
People with rifles are a lot more expensive to oppress by force. Both financially and in terms of public support.
Compare the BLM land managment protest vs the BLM lives matter street protests in how the police were deployed.
Or compare the occupy wall street protests where open carry of firearms is legal vs the ones where it was not.
When the violent option is cheaper and easier, you will consistently see it used more often.
