[US Army] Killah America or will he Killah America
Zoli
First of all I would like to thank to all those who voted for me in the Presidential Elections on the 5th of February. I want to thank to FED, for putting me on the ballot in their primary, and thanks to those who help me secure second place behind John Killah, and ahead of Jason Statham . I have a sour taste in my mouth, when Artela did not put me on the ballot in the USWP, but what can you expect from a redcoat.
Now let’s get to business. Today I want to talk about the US military. I consider that it has not been in a worse shape since the invasion of America in V1. Since the USA started its campaign against Macedonia, which turned into an attack against Hungary, the coordination and strength sunk sharply. In the past the USA was able to fight off multiple RWs, to fight against multiple attacks and help its allies in the same time.
Currently the USA is involved in a war with Taiwan and the prospects are grim. The USA has a larger population and more allies on its side, but still it’s struggling and victory is not in sight.
John Killah started his term with a defeat in Jeollanam-do, and it looks like another defeat will follow in Northern Taiwan. I had higher expectations from a President from the Americam Military Party. I thought a member of a party that bears the “military” term in its name, would have the necessary skills to lead the army and the entire nation to victory against a weaker opponent, but it seems I was mistaken. Either the party should change its name, or should endorse people who lead an army and a nation for Country President.
John Killah should, and must be a leader. In my opinion leadership means objectives, resources and guidance.
Objectives
We are waging a war against Taiwan, but I have not seen from John Killah why are we doing it, what are the objectives of this war. Without an objective it’s almost impossible to mobilize the army and the population to fight at full potential. The objective must be deliverable and have deadlines of accomplishment. Currently the war with Taiwan looks more like a training war, then a war where we want to win.
So lets start and define our objective: We want to erase Taiwan from the map and liberate South Korea and Japan. In order to succeed we must occupy at least 4 regions from Taiwan every week, and after we lose the common border in one week we will liberate the remaining regions from Taiwan.
Beside macro management, we need micro management as well. Objectives regarding activity level and inflicted damage must be given to military units as well. Competitions must be organized between military units. This way people will fight not only for the glory of our country, but for the glory of a smaller and more closer community, the military unit.
Resources
In order to achieve anything we need resources. Taking into account that weapons prices are so low, the Government must support the army and the population by distributing Q7 weapons. This will lead in higher damage inflicted in important battles. The Guns for Huns program brought spectacular results in V1 and after. We must revive it; Guns for All must be active during every major campaign and battle when extra damage is required. We do not have to reinvent the wheel or hot water, we must use programs that worked in the past.
Besides giving resources to fighters another important resource must be mobilized, the help of US allies. During prime time for USA, the army and population can secure victory, but outside prime hours allies from different time zones must bring their firepower. This can and must be accomplished by the POTUS.
There is another way the Cabinet can help the population. I know that because of low bonus strategy of the current Cabinet, many will not agree with me, but until we secure victory against Taiwan, the USA should achieve full bonuses at least for WRM. This could be accomplished easily – we could rent Baja from Mexico, and Spain could free Quebec in order for the USA to occupy it. After the war with Taiwan is closed, those regions could be liberated, if that is the general opinion, so the USA could return to its low bonus strategy.
Guidance
I do not know how many of you remember the articles written by Deserfalcon. He gave in the past guidance for US players where to fight, why and when. Without guidance we can have objectives and resources and still fail.
I am saddened to see that DoD articles get under 50 votes. It shows that people do not know and do not follow orders. In the past, DoD articles avareged 500 votes, and in parallel other military analyses articles got in the Top5. The Cabinet members, including the John Killah, spend money to buy votes for their articles, but nobody focuses on DoD articles which disappear in the sinkhole and are not seen by those who should.
I am not saying that John Killah should give guidance to all, but it is in his responsibility to find a new Desertfalcon who in his on newspaper or through the DoD newspaper will give guidance to the fighters.
In order to get support from allies, we must also give support to allies, that is why is important to have a person who coordinates better fighters. Not once I have seen that during prime time we had battles where we were leading by a mile, and in the same time other allies were taking a pounding. If we expect help from our allies we must give them a helping hand. Ally help is based on the principle of reciprocity.
John Killah
I know only a few days have passed since he took office, but until now I have not felt his presence. Beside a BS article, in my opinion, he has done nothing. John Killah is the President of the United States of America, he must step up to expectations and deliver, or step aside an let a competent man run the country.
It is up to him to decide, if at the end of his term we will have a Killah America, or if he will Killah America.
Update USA lost in Northern Taiwan as predicted. Now fight in Central Taiwan - http://www.erepublik.com/en/military/battlefield/38324

I dont think he can solve this problem in 3 days lol
Only time will tell...
I've wondered for a while now if buying votes for DoD articles would be more effective than people shout blasting orders in their friend feed, MU feed and party feed.
I'm not really sure that it would be, although you are right that it does give some people a perception of things that could make them think things are different than they are.
Worth looking into, but money is tight. It would probably be better spent supplying.
People do not follow fight articles because times have changed .
When DF was writing those articles the fights were close and each inch (or damage point) counted .
Now ..you look at the battles and they are pretty much decided after the first 2 rounds .
If you fell your damage will not impact the outcome why bother fighting where the order says to.
Order MU members to vote up the DoD orders. Anyway it is strange that Cabinet members have money to buy votes for their article 🙁
While I am interested to understand the value of an article to drive otherwise directionless 2-clickers against the value of shout blasting and chain shouting, that does not seem to hinder the point that Zoli is making. Whether or not they work is unimportant, the fact remains that we clearly attach some dramatic value to these articles (just look at that pay-to-play top 5). The problem is, definitively, that some of our priorities are screwed up.
Re: your comment about the USWP ballot - we have a procedure, and we follow it. If you want to get on the USWP ballot then you need to get proposed and seconded by USWP members, and it needs to happen ahead of the vote for our Primary having started
And shame on you for your xenophobic way of framing the statement.
Good read, and brings up a lot of good points.
But it seems a tad outdated. With MU feeds, daily orders and the Campaign of the Day, does it really matter that there are battle orders in the media?
IS: Not all MU feeds are accurate or up to date. COD sometimes is a lost cause. I think Zoli is going back to a day when JCS would always make sure it's up, and damn near the top spot. It's a rallying statement now more than anything, but he has a point that the money could be better spent: on DoD orders or better yet for the actually USAF troops rather than voting random articles.
@Stevens;
Traditions should be preserved despite changes in the interface.
@Artela;
Being technically correct is about as bad as being technically incorrect as you publicly demonstrated recently regarding an extremely offensive topic in an extremely inappropriate manner. That said, I enjoyed your presidency and did in fact support you for your ability to coordinate as you continually demonstrate within the USWP.
@buru;
I completely agree.

"It is up to him to decide, if at the end of his term we will have a Killah America, or if he will Killah America" -Zoli
In all fairness a PotUS cannot control the actions of an entire nation; just as an entire nation cannot truly force congressional opinion... While I share your concerns regarding the Similarities thus far between John and FG unless our current PotUS releases additional articles regarding his roadmap we the eAmerican Citizenry may never have sufficient information to fairly Audit his term as PotUS...
It is ultimately up to the eAmerican Citizenry to decide If John remains in higher standing than FG once his current term is complete. I for one am looking forward to releasing another Executive Branch Summary in early March.
"Anyway it is strange that Cabinet members have money to buy votes for their article "
Why is this strange? It's not like they're using tax payer money to do it or something.

I feel like humping you. And I don't even know you.
Gotta kill Taiwan to free Japan, and South Korea. Pretty simple strategy. Not very hard to figure out the aggressor in the region.

"I am saddened to see that DoD articles get under 50 votes. It shows that people do not know and do not follow orders."
Why would I want or need to read DoD articles when we have a beautful IRC-Bot..
Zoli for POTUS.
..... Why Technician left eUSA
Read this article.......
Can not take evil "Taiwan" because people like me think the leaders in the eUSA are jokes and your CoTWO friends are useless.
Well written. I think you are a little hard on the guy for his third day on the job though.
I look forward to more articles.
Votesub
It's about freedom people! We're the only ones currently able to help South Korea and Japan gain their freedom! They are our CoT allies and have been occupied by that tiny terror Taiwan since forever. Where are the rousing articles by our esteemed elite? Where are the supplies? Where are our allies while we sleep?
Let's all get together and get the job done guys! Let's show EDEN's red headed stepchild that it's days of easy bonuses, selfish foreign policy and general bullying of it's neighbours are over.
SPQR IN OUR MINDS!
SPQR IN OUR HEARTS!
NOW AND FOREVER!
P.S.: Z4P!
@Israel Stevens and Tiacha - MU feeds are ok, just that people need guidance the way Desertfalcon gave it. It is not enough to fight if you do not now why you do it.
@Tiamati - a POTUS cannot control an entire nation, but should control the Army and it is not happening right now
@Kutluk bilge Kul Kemal - I know the article and i do not agree with it. I've told you that before 🙂
@Dio Eraclea - not that simple when a part of your, the former EDEN mobil troops do not follow orders
@Edelmann - I go to IRC one every trimester and like me many people do not go to IRC. The bot should tell those people not just where to fight, but to vote DoD articles so non-IRC players would see them
@Technician - I never said that Taiwan was Evil. And yes it is because of players like you why we cannot win this war. To be honest I liked it more when the USA was pro-EDEN but that time has passed, and you must decide to help America or move to away.
@JohnnyM2 - there are more pro-Eden players in America who think that current US administration is Evil and not EDEN or Taiwan is evil, then you could imagine
I remember when we kicked Indo's ass out of their colonies under President Jewitt, conquered Russia under President Krems, and most importantly; freed America in WW3 under dear ole President Emerick and Gaius Julius.
Those were the days when America could get things done, long gone now...
All that happened with EDEN help to!
@Deleruin - I miss StKrems and Gaius Julius. I would love it if they would return and run for POTUS.
Gaius Julius is and forever will be the best ePOTUS ever.

@Zoli; Re: Military PotUS cannot control Halliburton; Pragmatism includes Triage; Lofty Goals, Wish we could include the repeal of Trianon, Rumania cannot into Erdei; what Irony that Plato would redraw themselves so favorably, separating Vlad's homeland from its Motherland with multiple regions 😛
All that said; It is good that Desert Falcon Returned; wish Lt SchiessKopf would do the same as they too were well known for Military News.
