I never post sauce because I know no one read them.
O’Dowd, Edward C. "Chinese Military Strategy in the Third Indochina War: The Last Maoist War." Quinn-Judge, Sophia, and Odd Arne Westad.. "The Third Indochina War: Conflict between China, Vietnam, and Cambodia, 1972-79." Baum, Richard. "Burying Mao."
Also everyone should at least read the intro of this one, even if you don't care about the larger strategy discussion: U.S. Army Training and Doctrine Command. TRADOC Pamphlet 525-3-1, "The U.S. Army Operating Concept: Win in a Complex World, 2020-2040." tradoc.army.mil/Portals/14/Documents/MDO/TP525-3-1_30Nov2018.pdf
There are only 2 peer adversaries for the US command. And none of them are Iran, Pakistan or India…

There's a lot of chinks still living on the countryside doing farm work. Most of them are very uneducated but I think some of them are legitimately immersed in CCP propaganda. The chinks living in cities are a bit more educated but too soft and probably not capable enough to go to the military, let alone march for 30km.

Keep talking out of your ass… China has mandatory military service. Now they don't actually enforce it, because they have enough volunteers and even with current birthrates they would have something like 8 to 9 millions servicemen per call (which is clearly too much). But EVERYONE signing up for college has a basic military course to complete, which is exactly like it sounds, a few weeks of ROTC style training, from there they can volunteers directly for NCO positions or join a military school.
The result is the countryside youth population that makes the bulk of the volunteers and the bulk of the PLA (people more used to hard work and to take orders, that see the military as an opportunity in their limited options. It's the same thing everywhere else), but the much more numerous cities youth population makes for a reserve with at least a basic level of fitness and some understanding of the military life.
It is a perfectly sound recruitment and mobilization strategy.

Why make the polymer look like poo?

If it's Vietnam tier training then it's nothing to fear, individual soldier at least.
But it's not like training matters as much when you have the quantity to add up for it, what really matters is the fitness, most chinks aren't obese and thus serve well as soldiers.

Yeah, and all they fucking do is sing Chinese communist songs and learn to march on parades instead of how to handle weapons and function with a squad. It's 90% silly propaganda bullshit. I guarantee you that there would be widespread desertion if it turned into actual war, should it even happen that the west doesn't just decide to just annihilate the CCP and support whoever they are going to war against.
The newer models of the INSAS are all black, dunno why they chose fucking orange plastic for the furniture colour on the earlier models. I heard that they aren't complete shit any more but they are far from good rifles either.
lol, China is rapidly increasing in diabetes and obesity right now.

Last time I was in Chinkland (2017), most people seem thin.
Benjamin Wilson
True, most still are, but currently it's only increasing. archive.is/E7zZK It probably also doesn't help that all the food in China is made of pure cancer that will hopefully kill plenty of chinks soon. I can't wait to see more milk scandals.

No, they're mostly malnourished manlets. Granted you don't need to be a two and a half meter tall brick-shithouse of a man to be an effective soldier, but the Chinks I met while I was out there were the sort who almost all struggled to run 100m in a reasonable time without collapsing before the finishing line. They're not the kind of men you'd trust to patrol through the Himalayas carrying a weapon and full pack.
Jeremiah Cox
Good thing the chinks can only afford a uniform, a rifle and a magazine of ammo to give them since that's all you need for parades. Backpacks arr too expensive, hoho.
