Yeah, but at a certain point you'd figure high command would start worrying about how many combat ready tanks they have if politicians are gonna force them to prepare for attack on Lebanon.

Agreed, but they are fascists in a perilous political situation, running an army of conscript mall cops. I think they have a lot of room for self-owns. They've got a significant number of religious and nationalist fanatics to appease, and a lot of those fanatics refuse to fight leading to additional internal contradictions and friction.

Speaking of self owns, a reported 49 of the IOF's 278 casualties are from friendly fire lmao

IIRC that is actually a better ratio for them than it was earlier on

That is a ridiculous low number of reported casualties, I'd honestly expect more from people tripping over or dropping things given the scale of conflict o_O

Nobody tell them nothing

Let them think they can take it without a fight

Drain the beast with a thousand cuts
