Death Or Glory - What if ?

[Sovietsky Souyuz]

Picture this, the UN passess no second resolution, the US goes to war with everyone ;

The british, as always fight with honour, their troops leading 'light brigade' style charges.

The French build up partisan attacks on US armour.

The Russians paste US infantry with massive artillery bombardments and lead suicidal infantry attacks of their own.

The germans ,well, they sink ships with U-boats....and occasionally send out a Panzer or 30 to do battle.

The arab world fights with bravery but eventually start to run out of soldiers.

Cuba sends covert C4 wielding terrorists to give the Yanks sommet to think about.

Ukranian Cossacks give Uncle Sams' foot-soldats somthing do do in the night.

And last but not least, the chinese, holders of the worlds largest airforce, pound anybody who gets in the way with silly ammounts of MiG-carried ordnance.

The US ?, they start loosing, so they bomb as many women and children as they can find for their B-52's.

Then they nuke everybody.

Coolio, very true to.

There's a pretty amusing joke about battle tactics, although pretty unrelated and a bit old:

The ground war in Afghanistan heated up yesterday when the Allies revealed
plans to airdrop a platoon of crack French existentialist philosophers into
the country to destroy the morale of Taliban zealots by proving the
nonexistence of God.


Elements from the feared Jean-Paul Sartre Brigade, or 'Black Berets', will be
parachuted into the combat zones to spread doubt, despondency and existential
anomie among the enemy.


Hardened by numerous intellectual battles fought during their long occupation
of Paris's Left Bank, their first action will be to establish a number of
pavement cafes at strategic points near the front lines.


There they will drink coffee and talk animatedly about the absurd nature of
life and man's lonely isolation in the universe. They will be accompanied by
a number of heartbreakingly beautiful girlfriends who will further spread
dismay by sticking their tongues in the philosophers' ears every five minutes
and looking remote and unattainable to everyone else.


Their leader, Colonel Marc-Ange Belmondo, spoke yesterday of his confidence
in the success of their mission.


Sorbonne graduate Belmondo, a very intense and unshaven young man in a black
pullover, gesticulated wildly and said, "The Taliban are caught in a logical
fallacy of the most ridiculous. There is no God and I can prove it. Take
your tongue out of my ear, Juliette, I am talking."


Marc-Ange plans to deliver an impassioned thesis on man's nauseating freedom
of action with special reference to the work of Foucault and the films of
Alfred Hitchcock.


However, humanitarian agencies have been quick to condemn the operation as
inhumane, pointing out that the effects of passive smoking from the
Frenchmen's endless Gitanes could wreak a terrible toll on civilians in the
area.


Speculation was mounting last night that Britain may also contribute to the
effort by dropping Professor Stephen Hawking into Afghanistan to propagate
his non-deistic theory of the creation of the universe.


This is only one of several Psy-Ops operations mounted by the Allies to
undermine the unswerving religious fanaticism that fuels the Taliban's
fighting spirit. Pentagon sources have recently confirmed rumors that
America has already sent in a 200-foot-tall robot Jesus, which roams the
Taliban front lines glowing eerily and shooting flames out of its fingers
while saying, "I am the way, the truth, and the life. Follow me or die."
