A former Army Ranger who fought in Afghanistan, Iraq, and Ukraine said the fighting in the Eastern European country was much worse than that in those other countries. David Bramlette told The Daily Beast that he had air support, intelligence, surveillance, and reconnaissance when he was in Iraq and Afghanistan.

“The worst day in Afghanistan and Iraq is a great day in Ukraine,” he said.

    I’d put the Korean war into the regular military vs regular military category.

      True. If any side tries to cross established battle lines, they’ll get similarly huge losses.

      On the other hand it’s Koreans, they’ll send an army of robot dogs named Zerg.

          Eh, what’s so racist about admitting that Korea is technologically superior to Ukraine? SK has some stupidly advanced technology like automated turrets with cameras on their border with NK.

          Robot dogs are only a half joke, there are talks about using walking robots for military purposes for something like five years already.
