Potting your head and doing press up dont win war.

Ruggedity dont win war infact you only fight a war of attrition because the civics you are oppressing will aid in your ultimate loss.
Nigerian army fit to that example.

The days of large infantry troops is coming to an end.

Ask Armenia what Azerbaijan did to them recently.

Tech is the new world power and Nigerian army is in level zero.

Only thing saving NA is that we are surrounded by weak neighbors and not ambitions ones.

Lol
You're trying to play around with words right?
Let me ask you
Is Ethiopia at war now?
Did Azerbaijan and Armenia fight a war or not?

In a combat scenerio whereby a US Marine army battalion with logistical support engages all Nigeria army division in a battle which side would come out victorious
US army battalion
or
Entire Nigeria Army Division!!!

Depressed101:
stewpid question..... US SOLDIER WITH THE POWER TO BUSH CERTAIN BUTTONS IN THE CLOSEST US ARMY BASE NEAR NIGERIA CAN WIPE OUT THE NIGERIAN ARMY IN 24HRS...

Rossintii:


You will be surprised that in a full combat scenario between a US battalion and a Nigerian battalion, the Nigerians would actually win. If you think those cornflakes eating, pampered US troops will defeat those rugged Naija forces in man to man combat, think again. At the very most it will be a very close contest, no matter who wins.

There is a reason the US does not favour having their men on the ground in close combat, but prefer to do air strikes instead. Their fighting forces are simply not that good, and nowhere near as brave as many other troops from supposedly weaker armies.

I remember during the Somalian war in 1993 when Nigeria sent about 5,000 troops to join US forces there in Operation Restore Hope. The American troops used to beg the Nigerians to engage the Somali rebels, while all the Yanks did was mount road blocks. Nigerian troops went in and fought the Somalians in close combat and defeated them, losing very few men in the process.

Nigerian ground forces are one of the best in the world...

Given the same logistics and equipment, Nigerian Army would outshine American army.

Forget all the films you watch about US army... the US army is not that rugged, and depends largely on CIA for intelligence which makes their operations far more successful than others.

Nigerian army is great and rugged, but sabotage has killed the morale, I pray it goes back to its glory days

privaldo:


We meet again.

While the Op's original question makes no sense, because it's a comparison of a battalion of one army against a whole army, your answer also makes no sense. You compared a battalion of the US military to a Nigerian military in an all out war.

First put in mind that the Americans are better armed due to the amount spent on defence in the US.
Also, consider the fact that they train with the most advance equipments including simulation which will give them an edge over the Nigerian troops.
Again their logistics support will be more superior to that of the Nigerians, and again intelligence which plays a key role in warfare, will be a factor as the Americans have one of the best intelligence organisation in the world.

supercase1:

my friend u aren't making sense because u don't know that a 2,000 man 21st century American armed battalion with the full backup of US armed forces can wipe out all the entire army divisions of Nigeria e.g 100,000 naija troops from 200km away in an open terrain showdown!!!!

Why can’t your almighty US army defeat ragtag Taliban forces in Afghanistan? Why are they negotiating peace with them? When the US ran into trouble in Somalia, it was the Nigeria Army that came to their rescue.

Fighting Boko Haram is not like fighting conventional wars. It is an asymmetrical warfare that is mixed with politics and religious indoctrination. Even if you kill all Boko Haram fighters today, those who believe in the ideology will raise another set of fighters tomorrow and continue the fight. So you see, defeating Boko Haram is beyond the military. We must also defeat the politics and the ideology behind the group.

IamAtikulate:

Nairaland are just gross ignorant. You guys keep mentioning Afghanistan as if USA is at war with Taliban.

USA campaign against Taliban is a punitive response to the 9/11 attacks not a full fledged war. Most of these attacks are carried out with PMC not US forces.

Only USA Congress can declare war and this only when you can judge the full might of US military.

war

armed fighting between two or more countries or groups

So, deploying thousands of troops, military hardware from stealth bombers to the most advanced fighter jets, special forces, fighting and killing, spending $2.4 Trillion, 2.500 US military deaths and 40,00 injured is actually not war because the US congress did not declare war?

What kind of elementary talk is this






The above is the meaning and definition for the word WAR, not what is declared by the US congress or any entity under the sun.

You might want to look in the mirror for GROSS IGNORANCE.

The war in Afghanistan come with alot of rules hence and American forces hands are tied on what to do. US forces initial objective was to dislodge Taliban government which was successful but the real problem is with Afghan government that is to maintain the gains . Afghanistan forces have not been able to hold formally reclaimed territory and lack the will power to fight.

dejol88:

Are you aware trump told Afghanistan govt that on a normal levels, he wishes to take over Afghanistan he would do it. Who is Taliban you are hyping? Do you know American forces are somewhat constraints due to rule of engagement? And alot sabotage from Afghan government. Abeg don't you compare both scenarios

War is a broad term. It could mean anything. A country is not at war if it's not in a state of war.

The last time USA was in a state of war was in WW II.

USA is not in war today. Their involvement in Afghan is basically a military intervention. The target was to overthrow the Taliban government of Afghan.

It achieved that many years ago.

I know you won't and you can not list anything, people like you just spew rubbish that you can not prove with proof or sensible facts.

Are you aware when USA used Moab on the terrorists hideout,there was alot or reaction from international community? Do you know some weapons cannot be used in Afghanistan I don't mean nukes no matter the provocations? Are you aware when Pakistan president visited trump in white house,he said and I quote, if he wishes to take down Afghanistan in 10 days, he would. American military is not a hype job my brother, but reality! Go and ask Russia, China and Iran how bad USA military is.

dejol88:

So you don't know American forces can light up your skies from sea land and air continuously for three straight days till they destroy all your infrastructure? See, if you really want to know how bad USA military is, take good time and read how USA took down Iraq and come back here and post.

NGpatriot:



I did not ask you to state your own personal opinion.

I asked you to give us official list from any entity from the US government to the UN regarding the restrictions you are talking about.

I thought you came up with that comment because you read it somewhere, but since you are unable to show us your list, seems obviously that it was all your own personal and irrelevant opinion.

NGpatriot:




What's what the US can do or not do got to do with you listing giving us the list of your so called restrictions?

You can not lecture me about the capabilities of the US because I know and probably even more than you, just give us the list of your so called restrictions and stop dancing around and diverting with meaningless tales.

IamAtikulate:

The US constitution defines what it means for US to be at war? Its position is final, not what a US-hating Yoruba moslem thinks.

Is US in a state of war with Afghan? NO

The US government said United State of America are committed to working together to reach a comprehensive and sustainable peace agreement that ends the war in Afghanistan for the benefit of all Afghans and contributes to regional stability and
global security.
