Upper Strathyclyde Posted February 26, 2006 Share Posted February 26, 2006 The Commander paced while in front of the Large Mass of 1,000 ONI Special Forces. Having served in the revolution that brough peace to the once war torn nation of Strathyclyde, the Commander, Criax Rothul, was a battle seasoned man with a dedication to peace. Looking straight into the crowd he began his speech. Â "Men of the ONI SpecForce. you are assembled here for the important announcement. The ONI shall no longer exist," The commander said to gasps around the crowd. Â "Instead, in your place will be the most professional. The most highly trained and equipped elite special forces units in the world. The Kommando Spezialkraefte. You will be our sword of peace and our peacekeepers. You will be our elite few , our only standing army. Your numbers will be swelled to 10,000 from the 50,000 men in our existing army units. Today's world requires an immense amount of stability and dedication to integrity, morals and above all, peace,freedom and democracy. It is now your job to uphold Strathyclyde's integrity. Our way of life." Â The was a massive roar from the crowd in response to the last few lines of the Commander's speech. The Commander continued. Â " You will be starting your wargames today. This is where you will train to be the best. Better than the Spec Forces of Adaptus, of Akiryu, or of Xheng. You will be the best in the world, because the US Counts on you as its only forces. You will be the Best. And because you are the best, there will be peace, and the freedom of all people's will be had not by the sword, but by your existance and knowledge there of." Â Another roar greeted this statement, and the Commander stated his closing remarks. Â "I am reminded of the old Strathyclydian Proverb. When you sharpen your sword, you do not sharpen it for a blow. You sharpen it so that you do not need to use it." Link to comment
Akiiryu Posted February 26, 2006 Share Posted February 26, 2006 OOC: You might like to think they are better...oh and US is sounding more, well, ideologically aggressive everyday. Link to comment
Upper Strathyclyde Posted February 26, 2006 Author Share Posted February 26, 2006 OOC: Well, lets look. I mean, if you think i am sounding aggressive and cutting from 150 k to 20 k troops, is aggressive, then whats Rekamgil?! Belligerent? Just kidding. I just do not see where your coming from. Â Anyhow, what makes either of our spec forces great? Link to comment
Akiiryu Posted February 26, 2006 Share Posted February 26, 2006 OOC: Well, lets look. I mean, if you think i am sounding aggressive and cutting from 150 k to 20 k troops, is aggressive, then whats Rekamgil?! Belligerent?  Just kidding. I just do not see where your coming from. Anyhow, what makes either of our spec forces great? OOC: Joking. But all this manifest destiny type peace talking is, well, indicative of an aggresive ideology. Let's talk about it in OOC. Link to comment
Upper Strathyclyde Posted February 26, 2006 Author Share Posted February 26, 2006 OOC: Too lazy to make a thread . Its not really manifest destiny. Its along the lines of acting tough so people don't take advantage of me not having a military. I think big militaries are bad, and they are symbols of hatred and war, so I am modeling my army after a small elite peacekeeping force. Link to comment
Upper Strathyclyde Posted February 26, 2006 Author Share Posted February 26, 2006 OOC: I am making it 10k, and not 20k. If you have any ideas to help make it more realistic, let me know. Link to comment
Deltannia Posted February 26, 2006 Share Posted February 26, 2006 OOC: I don't think there is anything wrong with it. If a country wants to have its "manifest destiny" type complex, then that's fine. I think Upper Strathyclyde can take that stance with no trouble, especially since he is reducing his troops. Link to comment
Vanarambaion Posted February 26, 2006 Share Posted February 26, 2006 Realistic is fine, but they're going to get stomped. My ShadowCorps (The Bane of the SSSS, Hated by Karthenia) is almost 10 times that size... Link to comment
Upper Strathyclyde Posted February 26, 2006 Author Share Posted February 26, 2006 OOC: Thats what Goliath thought when fighting david, or what the SS thought, then were wiped out by the Russians, and the Rngers in Somalia, and a lethora of oher suppoed hands down clear cut victors. Anything can happen:) Link to comment
Slavic Byzantium Posted February 26, 2006 Share Posted February 26, 2006 Indeed, there are several instances of a few hundred soldiers holding out against tens of thousands of soldiers throughout history, and not just the best of the best, but average or above average troops against supposed elite units. Although training is absolutely paramount, competent leadershipw tih comepetent troops, properly equipped and supported will be hard pressed to lose. Link to comment
Vanarambaion Posted February 26, 2006 Share Posted February 26, 2006 Ok, mate, whatever floats your boat. Link to comment
Vocenae Posted February 26, 2006 Share Posted February 26, 2006 And don't forget about the CIS military alliance... Link to comment
Vanarambaion Posted February 26, 2006 Share Posted February 26, 2006 Oh I remembered. Link to comment
