How can there be "military intelligence"? Surely this must be a contradiction in terms.?

Question

Hi John B baby. It's great to see how easy it is to provoke some people. Cool down John B, and get back on the sloop.

Answer 1

This is a very old play of words, that comes back every time.
There is no way of judging military intelligence, because you only hear about its failures, not about its successes. You would be astonished!

Answer 2

Military Intelligence has been around for centuries. The Assyrians were masters at it, combining an excellent spy network with some of the most brutally efficient psychological warfare of the time to sustain their empire. Every military force worth the name has had some sort of intelligence network in place, from the French Resistance in the Second World War to the OSS working for the Americans in the same time period.

While a dedicated pacifist stance may blind an individual enough to make ill-advised attempts at coarse humor on everything military, such is really only the public display of ignorance and intolerance. That does not serve pacifism at all. A good look at history is in order, preferably at your local library, followed by a careful reassessment on what is tasteful and effective in promoting pacifism as a worthwhile personal philosophy.

Answer 3

Military Intelligence? Where? Not only is this a contradiction in terms, I think somebody made it up. I cannot believe all these highly paid military trained people in the pentagon, and the cia fell asleep at their posts, and let terrorists just come in , and destroy our American way of life. Does anyone else think this is embarrasing besides me? It seems as though their is noone to blame for all the fiasco's that have plauged our country. When the government receives a notification with intelligence that outlines some sort of possible treat to our security, it would behoove them to get on it then not the next day.

Answer 4

I agree that British intellegence is one of the best. However, Mosad, the Israeli version is also up there. You won't hear about the successes because you only see the guys on the front getting their hands dirty. You hear the bad because every one loves to have someone to blame.

Intellegence gathered from human sources is the best. There is only so much a picture taken from a saterlite or plane can tell you. Every person either has price or has something that will break or manipulate them. That is why the Brits are masters at this. They have so much experience with it, most notably in Northern Ireland.

Answer 5

There are always several hundred facets two each military scenario that the public are not part of. Basically we are part of mushroom management, "kept in the dark and fed bull-sh.t, but it comes from both sides of every dispute and argument. Military intelligence comes from myriad sources, including both sides of every scenario. We the mushrooms, see only what the media and the various factions involved in disputes wish us to see, we never see the whole picture and if we did, we would understand the need for so called, "military intelligence." Aristotle's ancient Greek city system pales, compared to the intricacies of your misunderstanding of a perfect "Military" system, a system that is imformed beyond your wildest dreams.

Answer 6

It is, of course, an old joke, but in fact the military goes to great lengths to learn the nature of an adversary's position, and sometimes does so with startling success. For an excellent example as seen from the other side, read the reference account of the US attack on Iraq in 1991.

Answer 7

No, it's not a contradiction in terms. The British military are the finest fighting force in the world, don't knock the men and women who help keep you safe in your bed at night!

Answer 8

answer: sure, it extremely is and additionally intentionally deceptive. maximum Christians don't comprehend that the only objective of "Messianic Jews" and "Jews4Jesus" are to transform Jews from their faith into Christianity. people who do do no longer see a concern with that - as evidenced by applying a number of the solutions right here. that is wide-unfold Christian self-deception and conceitedness. Their way is the only way and everybody could be Christian. they do no longer prefer to even question if different religions are valid and that they do no longer see how they're being illiberal of their tries to transform each and every person. They see the "Messianics" as "perfected" and entirely proper of their conversion tries. they does no longer experience the comparable if church homes sprang up on faculties and previous persons communities with crosses, altar and hymns yet particularly twisted so the message substitute into that they are "appropriate" followers of God and he could be called Allah and his messenger is Mohammad. Calling themselves "perfected" Islamic=Christians does no longer make Christians happy, might it? comparable element the "Messianics" are doing to the Jewish community. once you objective a particular team, use deceptive skill to alter their ideals and demand they go out and convert others - it extremely is cult habit! it extremely is a con game! in basic terms because of the fact that is Christian based would not make it stunning. have been the priest stunning while they enslaved Indians to rigidity them to transform? have been the church homes stunning while they compelled pagans to transform on the element of a sword? No - that's fullyyt a in demand substitute of an previous, twisted, sick and pervert way of adjusting human beings.

Answer 9

That's a military in-joke, as intel does go wrong regularly. The only qualification that you need to get into the intelligence job is to be able to spell "intelligence".

Answer 10

Why don't you get your own material, because your half @$$ attempt towards being funny is old and outdated. You're not Danny DeVito, and you probably had to have help understanding half of Renaisance Man when you got done watching it. Only thing worse than a typical smart@$$ is one like you who is neither funny or original.
