you'd be more likely to blow up your own people in a scheme like that
Eldest Son worked because the enemy used weapons/ammo different than ours. Sabotaging your own supply chain is a bad idea. |

Sabotaging your own supply chain is a bad idea. How so? You order your men not use ammo and weapons without a direct chain of custody. Not to mention you have thousands of conscripts losing a few matters not. |

You mean like they did with the food and it wound up breaking unit cohesiveness leading to a hairbrained plan that got the brothers killed?

Just scatter some gen2 G22s around as IEDs.
GD has assured me that if you look at them funny, they will kaboom. |

Sabotaging your own supply chain is a bad idea. In communism, the proletariat are expendable for the common good, comrade. Killing a few of your own is a small price to pay to defeat the capitalist scurge. |

The Wolverines used battlefield pick ups. You can't issue boobytrapped weapons or ammo to front line troops, they might use in themselves in the heat of battle and kaboom themselves

In reality, the Russians and Cubans were so sloppy that they would drop perfectly good breakfast cereal and oranges under direct partisan observation.

That movie doesn’t hold up given what we’ve seen of Russian military performance.
It’s also missing a significant portion of the population that would call the invasion fake news. |

You're comparing the Red Army 1984, at the height of the Cold War, to the Russian Federation Army, after 30 years of lack of training and equipment, is like comparing apples to tomatoes. Red Army 1984  Russian Federation today

If you have a really obvious difference in the bad ammo, the enemy will figure it out really quick and just take ammo off the bodies of those they kill and their ready supplies. |

Quote HistoryQuoted: My take was the Eckert brothers were going into the last assault knowing they were going to die. They made their peace with it and accepted it. Vaya con Dios -Colonel Bella |
