Most people think that the figure of mainland soldiers is leaner and thinner, but American soldiers are generally muscular and well-developed, giving people a very strong feeling.
If Chinese and American soldiers encounter on the battlefield, will our army suffer losses on the battlefield?
What is the difference between our military and the US military in terms of training?
Dietary differences between Chinese and American military personnel
As early as World War II, the food of the US army could reach the food of modern soldiers, and the US soldiers at that time had the problem of "pampering" and began to complain that some canned meat tasted not very tasty.
During World War II, although the mainland soldiers withstood the severe cold and snowstorm and lacked food and supplies, they still relied on their strong will to fight fiercely with the enemy.
Nowadays, American GIs are more picky about their diets, they like to eat some foods that increase muscle, such as high-protein foods, when the body consumes a lot of high protein, it is very easy to build muscles.
The Yankees almost eat beef, chicken, and cheese as the main foods, and these foods can indeed help the body increase muscle, but in fact, long-term large intake still has a certain impact on the body.
Moreover, these Yankees often eat some relatively addictive foods in the barracks, such as cola, chewing gum, etc., and the US army not only did not stop this behavior, but instead stockpiled a large number of similar materials in the army.
After long-term intake of addictive foods and high-calorie foods by American soldiers, it will not only greatly affect their health, but also if they stop training for a few days, the muscles on their bodies will become thick fat.
Let's take a look at what is the food of Chinese soldiers today?
In order to enrich the diet of mainland soldiers, the army's cooking class will provide the soldiers with a variety of nutritious and balanced meals in accordance with scientific recipes.
For example, fruits, vegetables, meat, seafood, whole grains, etc., our army does not pick and choose from meals like the Yankees, while the mainland soldiers eat whatever they want.
The mainland soldiers know that every meal they eat is bought by the sweat of the mainland's hard-working peasants, so they especially cherish the food on their plates and never waste it.
Although the mainland soldiers look a little thin with big eyes, when you look closer, the mainland soldiers are all full of fine flesh, giving people a very strong feeling, and the spirit of the mainland soldiers is very full, giving people a feeling of vitality.
Many attentive friends can find that some veterans walking in the crowd can often see at a glance that this person is very different from ordinary people, and at a glance you can see that these people have served the motherland before.
The way the U.S. military trains
When American soldiers usually train, they focus on strength training, and they usually complete training in gyms and gymnasiums, and in this training mode, they also exercise the physical fitness of "simple mind and developed limbs" of the US military.
Although their outdoor training, although there are also 400-meter obstacle course training, combat training, grappling skills, etc., these strict training seems to be similar to the mainland's training mode, but in fact, most of the American GIs cannot complete it.
According to relevant media reports, the proportion of "obese" soldiers in the United States has reached nearly 70% of the total army, and the physical fitness of American GIs shows that the so-called 400-meter obstacle is just that.
This kind of physical fitness of American GIs, not to mention any fighting skills and grappling skills, is simply the kind that makes you have to take a big breath when you run two steps, and the US military is helpless against this situation.
Nowadays, the US military is already facing a serious recruitment gap, and if the Yankees in the army are trained more, it will lead to more "lazy" Yankees who are unwilling to go to the army to serve as soldiers.
In order to achieve the goal of conscription, the U.S. military has introduced the "Moral Immunity Program", which has greatly lowered the threshold for conscription in the United States, for example, some felons, murderers, rapists, etc. can enlist in the army.
Subsequently, many gangsters in the United States vigorously encouraged their members to join the army, which led to the fact that the United States' armed forces, which were supposed to protect national security, became a place of "mixed fish and dragons".
After these personnel entered the unit, they led the already bad atmosphere of the US military even more astray, and this led to the fact that the US GIs could only gain superiority in weapons, and were unwilling to endure hardships in training, and the discipline in the army was also very low.
The way our army is trained
Many friends who have served in the military have a relatively good understanding of the mainland's recruitment standards, which are very strict in recruitment, and compared with the United States' recruitment requirements, it is simply "one in the sky and one underground."
Why do you say this? Because the mainland has very high requirements for the physical fitness of its soldiers, and the intensity of training in the mainland troops is well-known in the world, and the most impressive thing is the "devil's training" of new recruits.
During the training, the recruits will go through ultra-high-intensity physical training, such as the five-kilometer run is the most basic training, but when the recruits enter the company, the intensity will be increased to another level.
From the beginning of the five-kilometer run, gradually changed to armed weight-bearing cross-country, and then gradually began to learn some theoretical knowledge of the first level, and then had to carry out various tactical training every day.
For example, in hand-to-hand combat, explosives, rifle shooting, and other tactical training, each skill must be constantly and repeatedly trained, so that mainland soldiers can quickly and effectively complete their tasks in actual combat.
In order to make mainland soldiers have a higher ability to cooperate with each other, the army will hold some group activities from time to time in order to enhance the ability of teams to cooperate and fight.
For example, some assault exercises, or team obstacle races and other training, such training allows soldiers to trust each other and become a solid backing for each other, which can increase the tacit cooperation between soldiers.
Whether it is a cold winter or a scorching summer, mainland soldiers will appear on the training ground on time and conduct continuous training every day, in order to enhance their physical fitness and hone their will, so that they can have the strength to defend their home and country.
Our army's "post-00s" do 3,600 push-ups
In October 2023, according to a military report by CCTV, a "post-00" senior soldier in the mainland did 3,600 push-ups in 3 hours and 49 minutes at a sports meeting held by a brigade of the mainland army, directly breaking the previous record of 2,111 push-ups.
Successfully set a new record for the brigade, and then received the honor of third-class merit, it is understood that this young man is named Ye Junjun, and he was a little fat man before joining the army.
In order to keep up with the training level of his comrades-in-arms, Ye Junjun got up an hour earlier than his comrades-in-arms every day and insisted on the habit of training alone.
At this time, Ye Junjun had already completed the training of 1,000 push-ups, and then he would start the morning exercise training with his comrades, and after more than three months of unremitting efforts, he finally set the latest record for the whole brigade.
What is the concept of doing 3,600 push-ups in a row, it is estimated that a normal young person can do fifty push-ups in a row, not to mention the more than 3,000 push-ups, it is estimated that ordinary people can't even think about this number.
If the US muscular GIs are allowed to do it, I don't know if they will be able to complete this challenge, and this is also where the mainland and the United States pay different attention in terms of training.
The mainland troops pay more attention to the all-round physical fitness of their soldiers, while the United States pays attention to the "good-looking" muscles on the surface, but in fact, after these good-looking muscles are put on the battlefield, it can be said that they do not play a big role.
The deliberate guidance of the United States, the difference in ideology
Many famous film and television movies in the United States deliberately portray the image of American GIs as muscular, and they only shoot tall and strong Yankees into the picture, deliberately covering up some thin American soldiers.
This leads most people to think that American GIs are all "muscular hunk", but in fact, many young people who participate in American conscription are relatively thin and not as strong as they are in American movies.
Today, the average height of the latest generation of young people in the mainland is still soaring at a double speed, and the rising speed of the height of young people in the mainland has stunned countries around the world.
After gaining an in-depth understanding, many people will find that the mainland still attaches great importance to the political education of military personnel, and under the correct ideological leadership of mainland military personnel, every officer and soldier has very high patriotic feelings.
They are always ready to sacrifice for their country, and they regard the country as more important than their own lives, while the United States is very poor in this regard.
On the battlefield, if American GIs find that the situation is wrong, they may immediately have the idea of fleeing, and they are very clear about the distinction between the country and the individual, so they generally believe that personal interests are more important than the safety of the country.
If you have to make a choice on the battlefield, then most American GIs will choose to protect their own security, and they will forget about their family and country feelings.
What everyone needs to understand is that today's modern warfare is not an era of fighting for more muscles, but requires every soldier to have all-round physical fitness, and also to have strong flexibility and adaptability.
The main thing is to compete who has the more willpower, so that you can achieve the final victory!
