Most Powerful Soldier On The Battlefield - Page 3

QUOTE (KNtoran @ 8-May 08, 9:11 AM)
What is going to make it very interesting is the new suits they have in development. Having a metal ectoskeleton on the troops that allow them to carry a lot more weight and be just as mobile if not a little faster. This can allow them to get more weapons or rounds to be able to fight on their own a lot longer before needing to be reprovisioned.

This is eventually going to happen- how can it not. The issue is I don't think the government will ever want to spend that much on a soldier. When it does eventually happen, I think it'll decrease the size of the armed forces by a large amount- less number of infantry b/c one of these exoskeletons or something would be so powerful- and so also less people in the support area.

I do not agree there. They will spend the money once it is a proven device and make sure the fighting men and women are able to use it. The military will make sure it is adjustable to fit different people so it can be used over and over like the standard LBE (Load Bearing Equipment) is now. If they can spend multi millions on tanks they will gladly spend multi millions on armouring up their soldiers.

Has anyone considered the general of the army being the most powerful? He is the one that gives the orders anyway to all the rest.

The generals nowadays do not like to get their hands dirty by being on the battlefield They would rather sit in their cozy room behind their cozy desk and send in the young kids. I doubt any general in the past few years has actually been in a fire fight.

If we had an exoskeleton type infantry I'd sign up for it in a heart beat. But since my love is for flying- I'm happy with my Flight Crew MOS.

Yeah, generals have lots of logistical issues to sort out, some of which are important (I was reading something recently about General Patreus). However they aren't really on the actual battlefield- nice outside the box answer though.

Name: Panzer

Comments: If we could put man-portable SAMs in tanks, I'd say the tanker or company leader.

In an unjust war the most powerful man is the one that walks away form it.

In a just war the most powerful man is the one that can inspire soldiers/ armies/nations and sometimes start the war.

The second most powerful man is the spy/intelligents.

You should be assured that all three types are soldiers. This stuff is just way to easy for me.

Rather off topic, but...
I hope this message is a approved

Until he gets shot in the back. In World War Two, The Russians would shoot soldiers who deserted Stalingrad. That doesn't seem like a very powerful soldier.

In a free country one can walk away from an unjust War. Unfortunately, most War protesters do not realize the redeeming value found in a country that allows protests and the ability of walking away from a War. Such countries are few and far between and these are the countries worth fighting for.

If everyman on one side just walked away, that man would be dead very shortly, regardless of the justice found in that war.

I agree,
Unfortunately, an inspiring leader can also lead to a so called unjust War, and is still a rather powerful Soldier.
