US Army Special Forces are shifting their focus to fighting China or Russia, and they're already practicing for it in Hawaii

US special operators have played an instrumental role in the fight against terrorists and insurgent groups over the past 20 years.

Now, as the Pentagon focuses on preparing for a conflict a near-peer or peer military, like China and Russia, the special-operations community is looking for ways to remain relevant in a completely different type of war.

Army special-operations units are particularly concerned, as they make up most of the US Special Operations Command's (SOCOM) numbers.

Not to worry, US Troops will be careful not to injure any Homos or Trannys, ... including their feelings.

Not so sure about the Chinese Communist Troops or Russians, though.

Only Jabbed Troops will be allowed to participate, what could go wrong?

You beat me to it. Are the the “males” learning how to match panties with bras and walk in heels. I guess the “females” can handle the fighting like hollweird and disney portray them.

I once advised one of my nephews to join the US Marine Corp to give his life some direction.

I won’t do that again.

To be subjected to humiliating woke and racist propaganda, conducted by sick DC politicians and DoD bureaucrats, and be forced to take the vax — all for the opportunity to die overseas for the whims of deep state cretins or possibly even shoot at American citizens some day - no way.

Well good. Should have done this years ago. But all the energy was being wasted in the hopelessly unsalvageable middle east. Russian troops would be a force to reckon with. Chinese snowflakes, not so much.

Traditionally artillery is used to compensate for having weak ground forces. This is why the Chinese are building so many missiles. They know their soldiers are pathetic. They got their @$$es handed to them by India on the border. Poor whiners need special support activities when forced to spend a week in the field. American and Russian troops get told to suck it up. Though with the woke rot Americans will be more like Chinese in a few years.

Well, for the Russians, they should be practicing in Alaska.

Maybe their wintering now.

Yeah, but this time the Special Operators have the option of fighting in High Heels.

Taiwan is of strategic interest as somehow their chip manufacturers could not foresee a CCP invasion and failed to set up manufacturing facilities on other continents.

Russia and Ukraine? If the Europeans want to fight over Ukraine they can have at it with the Russians.

Sure hope they have issued enough lip stick and man-sized skirts. No tranny is combat worthy until this is done.

Honestly, I believe this Woke PC crap and denial of Constitutional Rights to a Soldiers Right to his/her own body, will reduce the capability of the Military to a critical inability to prevail.

Hawaiian winters are great practice for Russian winters.

That is a true statement, and US entities similarly dependent on those chips are equally negligent.

I’m glad to hear they are not shifting their focus to fighting the climate.

Heard on OAN TV this morning that we can expect China to nuke us.

With Biden in charge it is the right time for the Chinese to act. Plenty of fifth column personnel in the administration and among the populace.
