In Response to Cerb's Appeal to the eUS Military
Fitisin
The President of the USA, Cerb, released this article directed at members of the eUS Military Community calling for Unity in general and (I think) a unified command structure which would consolidate the two strongest forces in our country. It was well received so far in the comments.
Unity is so, you know, unifying.
And now...some appropriate music to play for the rest of the article: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GTJs0T4EO_w
The important thing to remember about the character of eUS Mil players is our discipline. We'll fight where our Branch Orders tell us to fight, period. No psychology or tax dollars needed - wherever our leadership points, that's where we drop the damage. So, sorting out where those orders direct us would be for those far up the food chain than most of us. If you want eUS Soldiers to unite with the USAF, then you'll need to unite the two group's senior officer corps.
Might wanna explain the housekeeper with the kid that looks just like you, Mr. Discipline!
Having said that, speaking not as a junior level officer in the Guard, but as someone who has written on mil policy and tactics in the past, I have a modest proposal that might be the first steps towards reconciling our command structures. This might seem out of the blue, but here it goes:
==========
Let's get together and beat the living tar out of the eUK.
==========
Serbish-Indospolungary is indeed a fearsome enemy. If we are entering into an era that might be called later "The Great Restoration" that'll be a lot of work and a lot of patience on both sides...and let's face it, neither side of the equation is known for its forebearance with the other group.
So let's have a little pilot project, shall we?
I'd bet a saltpeter farm that there's soldiers in both groups that are thinking..."Man, the damn Brits piss me off."
Even at rest, the Brits are just irritating. Look at him!
For weeks turning into months they've had their boot on eIreland's neck. They're the fat little kid on the playground, who knocked down a little skinny kid and now is sitting on him laughing for like a month now.
British policy regarding eIreland
It's time for the Principal to show up and give the fat kid a major smack in the ass if you ask me.
For a brief few minutes, the eUSA was wiped by a determined assault from four major powers. It was a brilliant campaign. We fought hard but we were overwhelmed in the conventional attack.
After that accomplishment, the ONE invasion receded and we won back our territory through hard-fought RW's. But it receded and ONE moved to other fights.
The Brits aren't that classy.
No wonder they're bullies, look at their children! I'd be terminally pissed off too.
the eUK is like a tugboat that thinks its a battleship because it rammed and sank a canoe. Big deal, you can whip the smallest guy in the neighborhood. Throw yourself a party, Schmendrick.
So, if we wanna have a combined command structure; then let's test it with a Joint Special Task Force to Humiliate the United Kingdom.
Work together and bring in heavy volunteers from the eUS Mil and the USAF along with integrating staff-level and platoon officers for temporary units. Have USAF officers and eUS Mil PCO's commanding temporary units of integrated soldiers. Make them heavy-hitters, because we've been around a long time and are into the game and have a little game maturity.
I think the Fighting 69th is a fine name for this little project.
Group the platoon units by time slots, have Congress put together a special Fighting 69th appropriation, somebody dial up the Irish CP (assuming he's sober - those eIrish, gotta love 'em) and let's have a little fun killing Redcoats.
whether your civvie, militia, USAF or eUS Mil - nobody likes a bully. Let's wipe the puddin' head Brits, then head on out of there and see if they've learned any humility.
Along the way, USAF and eUS Mil soldiers will be talking with each other on IRC and fighting under the same command. Fun and productive - that's how America ought to do it.
Cooperation...those first steps are a doozy.
Comments
Consarnit, dangity dang puddin' head Brits...
Opening up another front?
Yea, nothing can go wrong with that plan.
I agree! We should join our Irish friends and America's two great military units kick some British butt!
I stand ready to kill Redcoats!
It's about time those upstart Brits were put in their place and liberated from the likes of DishMCDS. v+s and shouted
I stand ready to kill Redcoats o/
I stand ready to kill Redcoats!
Funnily enough a few weeks ago JCS members wrote a plan designed to payback the eUK for their general @sshattery and work out some swaps that would benefit the USA, Ireland, Canada and other allies....still no word back from the political caste.
Bravo
I want this to happen so hard in my pants.
President Cerb, your reply to our General NXNW's comment would seem to be in order. Fighting 69th Baby!
"No psychology or tax dollars needed - wherever our leadership points, that's where we drop the damage."
If tax dollars didn't go to fund both eUS Mil and USAF the amount of damage you could drop would be minimal. With the new system, it's easy to do 150+ hits a day. You're looking at $1,000+ a day just for tanks to cover that amount of fighting. Most people can't afford that. We throw thousands of dollars a week and have the communes set up to provide free weps in return for people following orders and dropping the most amount of damage possible on time on target.
At the end of the day, orders for all branches come from POTUS, ensuring the protection of our great e-nation. Branches are more like political parties today ... they have a distaste for each other, but many people don't really know why. Unification of the branches would be nice, but I'm of the mindset that it's not necessary.
I wanna see this plan in action..what the worst that can happen...we get hit again by spain and may be by poland...we have already been thru all tht..nothing new for us...we loose we liberate...lets kill redcoats...
😁 yeah! What that guy said!
Let's get together and beat the living tar out of the eUK.
CHOC FULL of win, this is.
I do wanna kill me some redcoats!
@Eli Crownover: eMil does NOT take tax funds...and we still do a ton of damage for the eUSA and Allies.
You wrote:
"If tax dollars didn't go to fund both eUS Mil and USAF the amount of damage you could drop would be minimal."
Your statement is true for the USAf but not the eMIl.
regards,
Nx
PS: anyone have comments on the statement made by Cerb last week that the eUSA is about to go bankrupt?
I hate redcoats and love my irish brothers and sisters but destroying Spain well help the world and weaken ONE more then then wiping out the UK.
We should help the Eire of course but focus on spain or helping germany to cut poland RM well do more damage.
I'm the NSC Director and I've yet to receive any plans for invading UK. And I recommend that it would be foolish at this point with the state of our Spanish war and the occupied state of Germany and France.
@Henry Arundel: Seeing as you were one of the head architects of this situation and knew ahead of time that isolating the military from the community would cause massive damage. You and the others who forced this situation to happen and manufactured some of the drama just need to shut the hell up and go back into the pit of shame that hangs over you and the other exposed multi-accounting elites.
@Relorian :
Hasn't the blame game caused enough damage?
Let's do this!!
@NXNW: As a CBO director I will say that we have been running a deficit, however, due to the recent increases in income taxes, we are now running a small surplus. We were never close to bankruptcy.

Look, every single one of us thinks it's just not cool for the eUK to keep eIreland down...so let's create a provisional unit and kick their banger in the bum country.
Say it with me... I STAND READY TO KILL REDCOATS.
Make it happen!
Nice article, although I think it is inaccurately titled. It is primarily about the British and Irish, and has little to do with my article. Fitisin is a solid writer, though. 🙂
This has everything to do with your article, Mr. President. Find a just and universal cause; and create a provisional Task Force, inviting players from USAF and eUS Mil to sign on...integrating senior and PCO officers to WORK TOGETHER FOR A SIMPLE, UNDERSTANDABLE GOAL.
Find a more worthwhile cause than wiping the eUK...but, admit it, that'd be pure fun.
"Opening up another front?
Yea, nothing can go wrong with that plan."
😁clearly missing the point entirely
Remember that time eUK (with woldy as president) tried to invade eBelgium and got their asses kicked to badly that they had to ask/beg eBelgium to stop the invasion or they would lose original territories?
@laxsnor: I am merely quoting a statement from Cerb.
@Vanek: You are correct, since you kicked me from the NSC room w/o cause (I was polite and helpful) I have not communicated plans with you....however, you are not the only person in the gov't.
we are waiting for you = D
Yes, invading the UK is much more important than liberating France/Germany. As for Ireland, its been about 4 months now, not 1. Please try to keep up!
YEAH, lets kill Brits, wait, wut? I am a Brit. I take major offence from this article and shall now take you to court. Because I'm so weak minded the internet makes me angry.
Right, so your solution to a big country beating up a little country is... for a big country to beat up a little country. Take your white knight faggotry and shove it up your arse.
@ Henry Arundel: "Opening up another front?
Yea, nothing can go wrong with that plan."
Aren't you the Senator who gave the Duke of Dublin, Dishmcds, US citizenship the last time he vacillated over here, only to return to his beloved UK a month or two later, where he apparently realized he could be a bigger pain in the butt than in the US, because everyone but you realizes what a jerk he is?
Forgive me if I have doubts about your sympathies.
But I do agree with others above, who have noted we have unfinished business in France and Germany.
That said, it seems to me we can't afford to let Ireland disappear at this point. If they have open citizenship, Serbs will run in, and the next Irish congress will be a Serbian/Polish congress.
It seems to me we should be able to spare enough military muscle to keep Ireland on the map in at least a few territories through their next elections, even if we can't march into London tomorrow.
@ Margaret H Thatcher : y u mad, Bro?
I'm not mad, but this old hypocritical routine is nauseatingly stale.
"That said, it seems to me we can't afford to let Ireland disappear at this point. If they have open citizenship, Serbs will run in, and the next Irish congress will be a Serbian/Polish congress."
Open citizenship no longer happens old timer. 😛
Should have been a poking out tongue smiley at the end there.
Oh be quiet you bloomin' Yanks
Fail USA
Hail UK \o/
Hail ONE \o/
What's an arse? Is that like Welsh or Pirate or something for "horse?" 😛
Let's be honest, we cannot fight Poles 1v1 yet, so liberation of France and Germany is still far away...
On the other hand, in order to liberate Ireland, we must open up another front. We would have to fight Brits and Spaniards. This might backfire but at least we would have good chance in liberating Irish friends.
@ NXNW
"@Vanek: You are correct, since you kicked me from the NSC room w/o cause (I was polite and helpful) I have not communicated plans with you....however, you are not the only person in the gov't.
Actually A^2 did over a misunderstanding that you blew out of proportion, and I re-added your access.
And I am the President's chosen representative in matters of planning and coordination.
+1 to this article.
Let's bash some crasy brit bastards!
When did Thatcher become such a massive fgt? I AM DISAPPOINT.
Also, James, when I see the eUK helping France and Germany, I might sympathize. Until then, put your damage where your mouth is.
Mr. Bean
Could be fun! And that's what this game is about!
I really wish the JCS would get their heads out of the past and stop trying to repeat history.
Which part of history? The part where the game was fun and the eUSA was awesome?
This sounds epic. V+S. It's nice to see some concrete ideas rather than people just pussyfooting around with abstract thoughts.
I stand ready to kill redcoats!
It's been a long time since I have heard that beautiful song 🙂.
@Margaret Thatcher: We all love you!
I was lucky enough to be quite inactive when the split happened. I don't know what or why and couldn't care less.
Before saying anything else, I want to make it clear that Kria Erikson is absolutely the *FINEST* junior officer I ever worked with in my military career. She is smart, creative, and reasonable, and always makes good decisions. It's a very positive sign of "moving on" that she has moved from junior officer to senior officer and now part of the cabinet.
I am proud to be a private in the Special Forces (USAF). It is a terrific organization for an experienced player who doesn't need a lot of direction. And I thank all my friends from the Army who have given me a minimum of shit for rejoining on the "other side." To me, the split is just childish nonsense.
But nothing in my eRepublik career matches the leadership I saw from the JCS ... NXNW, Bombonato, Jankems, Jason the Great, Lucius Varenus, Rod Damon, Channing, and GoalieBCSC, just to name a few. It is a loss to the entire country if these individuals are not contributing to their fullest potential.
I hope that is what President Cerb seeks with this appeal. And a big national goal could be a winner!
(Personally, I'd prefer to invade Singapore, but whatever ...)
Chill baby Chill!
