How do militaries prevent mutinies among the rank and file? What situations are likely to lead to mutiny?
>>
>>58344346
Kill them all
>>
>>58344346
By meming that there’s an external enemy.
Conservatives will lick any boot that tells them they are justified in killing someone else.

>>58344346
>How do militaries prevent mutinies among the rank and file?
Generally through brainwashing, the polite word being 'indoctrination.' This is supplemented with benefits, though these can be pretty threadbare, and safeguarded by internal police forces.

>What situations are likely to lead to mutiny?
Anything that unreasonably (for the situation) threatens basic human needs (especially if it only seems to be happening to enlisted), or which compromises the implicit trust between enlisted and officer. Extended periods of intense stress, too, which is one of many reasons why you rotate units in contact with the enemy.

no one has to tell me Putin needs killing, I can gather that much from listening Putin talk

>>58344413
Are you in combat with Putin right now?

See how you’re telling yourself that someone needs killing doesn’t motivate you as well as someone else giving you permission to kill?
Conservatives are basically soldier ants who need a monarch to tell them what to do. They’re hopeless on their own, and will be reduced to killing their own colony if not fed appropriate propaganda.

Corrupt brother wars, government persecution of the church, using the everyday man as cannon fodder for war profits, politicians, and so on. The kind of things that made people suicide from the GWOT is the same factors that made them mutiny.

In other words, zionist occupation and a brother war that doesn't need to exist. Same goes for Putin and his selfish interests. It's why the Russian forces mutinied and formed these rebel groups and separatist groups, as well as actual Russians from Ukraine.

If you have to ask "why are they revolting?" you are already out of touch.

Hey fuck you buddy, you know the US military is not known for being full of liberals.

If the MoD is now doing forced conscription, it's slavery.

The MoD is emptying Russia's prisons by pressing prisoners into conscription by force, literal human waves of slave soldiers.

It's not "slavery", it's civil service. Jesus, you sound like a hippie.

Democracy and a volunteer military that is subordinate to an elected citizen government.
The US never really had a problem with mutinies because if soldiers feel their rights are being infringed on by a sole tyrannical officer they can complain to their congressman or senator.
>>
Not sure if it is true, OP twitter account has been known to post bullshit. That said, Russia is suffering all the WW1 mistakes and problems:

1. Industrially underdeveloped and technologically backwards
2. Using a brutal police state to supress people.
3. Poor and uneducated populace
4. Had limited democracy to provide an outlet for reform.
5. Lead by an autocrat who believed himself a strategist and refused to listen to unpleasant information
6. Allowing inflation to soar, erode buying power, and cost people their living standards
7. The inefficiency of the state began to hollow out political support
8. Significant military mistakes leading to battlefield reverses
9. Mobilizing political prisoners into the army which radicalized it and eroded morale and discipline.
10. Issues with the distribution and transport infrastructure.

I think I can provide links for articles on every one of those points. Just a fucking disaster.

A warrior fights for what effective propaganda tells him is good and true.

>>
>>58344346
You avoid mutinies, through not having shit leadership, and understanding basic human needs. That is all. You can get a crew of 20 year olds to walk into machinegun fire willingly if you treat it as the correct thing to do, and treat them with respect. (respect being a vary vary variable thing. Marines are treated at once with zero respect by the corps, but simultaneously more respect than anyone outside the corps)
>>
>>58344346
Morale, provided by warm food, decent living conditions, competent leadership and an outlet to direct their aggression towards
Esprit de corps is also of immense help, especially if you can't guarantee the aforementioned. There is a reason that USMC is a cult just as much as it is a military force

I fucking wish it was just "conservatives". One look at torture experiments shows that it's just every human under ~110 IQ that follows orders unquestioningly.

Anon, forcing someone to perform lethal work under uncertain conditions without their consent or compensation is slavery. It just happens that this form of enslavement also requires them to shoot at other Slavs.

why would the russians train their conscripts in ukraine? seems like a good way for them to get blown the fuck up by artillery before they even know what they're doing

I suspect Wagner has a HUGE grudge against the Kremlin, and they're willing to use the Ukrainians to get back at said place.

Mutiny is extremely rare so I think they have bigger fishes to fry desu

When is the last time you have seen a mutiny in any military?
>>
>>58344346
Generally speaking in the US Army you make sure the NCO and Officer corps have the right people. That doesn't mean you need Mr. Clean. That means you need the right men for the job. Generally you can't give rank to a psycho or sociopath, and they have to inspire enough discipline and respect for people to either follow them or follow their orders. They have to at least have a baseline level of care about soldiers and their needs. Not too much and not too little. As well officers and NCOs especially need to work themselves out of a job. The first sergeant is looking for the next first sergeant, the platoon sergeant is keeping an eye on squad leaders for his relief, and squad leaders are watching their junior enlisted for who is ready to become a junior NCO. Officers and the retention NCO/career counselors are keeping an eye out for guys who can cut their teeth and make it through OCS, WOC School, or direct commission. Then to tie everything up in a nice pretty bow the admin staff needs to make sure that your guys are getting paid, fed, and accruing leave. I guess it goes without saying, but don't send units with low morale on suicide missions. Let units with espirit de corps do the heavy lifting. If you've got a unit that's weak and down don't ask too much of them.
Also never tell a baldfaced lie to troops. If troops don't trust you then you can't lead them.

TLDR:
No psychopaths or sociopaths in leadership.
Pay troops.
Have decent leaders and find more decent leaders.
Care about people and their career development .
Hot chow and enlistment/reenlistment bonuses.
No tough missions for units that are low strength and low morale.
Don't lie or betray trust.

That's pretty much all you have to do.
So pretty much the opposite of what the Russians do.
>>
>>58344346
keep morale high above all else, but with todays access to information, soldiers know better than ever the true conditions at the front line (if they want it) so if they know they're being sent to a meat grinder with a 99% chance of death within 6 months, fragging superior officers is the highest likely survival strategy

More people suicide in the military that never got deployed.
Turns out either the culture of hierarchy combined with suicidal men that give up and end up in the military leads to high suicide rates. Retards keep attributing war guilt and PTSD as the reason for it but it's such a small amount of the suicides.

US had lots of mutiny in Vietnam among drafted soldiers. Conscription is stupid, and conscripts rarely ever have any will to fight. WIllingness to fight is the most important factor in war imo.

>>58344346
who could have expected this from the upstanding citizens of russia's prisons
>>
>>58349661
Around december. I don't think it's technically forced conscription, it's more of a what they call in Russia a "voluntary-compulsory" decision
>>
>>58349661
>>58349727
>voluntary-compulsory
They've been forcing people to sign up from the start, just not necessarily on a large scale.
Some soldiers taken prisoner during the initial blyatzkrieg were conscripts in the later phases of their conscript training, who had been pressured to "volunteer" as professional soldiers. Someone handed them some papers and basically ordered the boys to sign them.
I can imagine similar things going on in various other parts of Russian society.

Both Trump and Obama were zionists and imperialists, so is Biden.

You shit on the US military because politicians are corrupt?

You arrogant pr*ck, go defend your own homeland from foreign invasion by yourself, you can’t.

So you will just sit there and enjoy the might and protection of the US military, and your 1st Amendment right to be a limp-wristed pinko pansy.

People died for that right, for your right to be a dicksucking ignoramus who takes our military for granted.

1.) Cultures typically place great value on a warrior’s strength and honor. Mutiny is viewed as taboo by its nature as such
2.) Mutineers are labeled traitors and universally reviled the world over. They are harshly punished, at the very best of times they are harshly beaten and jailed for life.
3.) Strict adherence to military structure typically leads to success, or at least the vague notion that someone qualified is making decisions so that everyone working together can accomplish their goals.

Mutiny is typically resultant from a degradation of structure brought on by a length of stressors. Once the lines are muddled and the rigid adherence to a superior is questioned, things tend to fall through. You tend to see it because of lengthy periods of misery and failure, e.g. France in WWI facing constant mutiny due to dreadful living conditions and continued shocking loss of life. Like most I tend to view mutiny as wildly dishonorable, but there are obvious exceptions to the rule.

- for starters it's civil service if there is a justified cause (like being invaded), not some hastily law pushed against the best interest of the people, literally voted on in 1 day, and passing through entire pipeline to being signed by the president in 3 days, just so that the people who are responsible for a disaster can have more resources (e.g. human lives) to waste
- it's civil service if your lawful right for conscientious objection to military service and for an alternative service is respected

what russian government is doing is basically slavery
t. a russian of course
