Would modern Generals mount a last ditch defence of their headquarters or capital city using nothing but pistols? Do modern Generals even carry firearms?

>modern generals
>ever doing anything an actual soldier would

Officers are only soldiers up to Captain. Major and above and they'll never leave the cozy air conditioned tent on the FOB and probably don't even know where their body armor is since they never wear it.
If they do actually have a weapon, their PFC/SPC driver is the one who looks after it.

Anything above LTC is politics, not military.

He's one of the butthurt "muh /pol/" pukes that ruins every board they post on.
Anything they don't like is nazis and /pol/, even when it's not.

How about you fuck off back to /b/ limpdick

And no, generals would simply surrender, fighting is for soldiers

maybe but it would definitely look like in your pic, barely trained fuckheads lined up behind each other, shooting over and between their front men's heads.
>>
>>34271708
They would almost certainly just have assault rifles. Headquarters units have security, signals, MP and logistical units attached. There's enough firepower there for the star-wearing chaps to get a rifle.

What the fuck did you just say to me, you little bitch?
>>
>>34271708

Types like Mattis would, not sure about the Euro armchair generals. Usually though, if the front line is coming to the generals instead of the generals coming to the front line, at that point it's out of their control and usually a better idea to retreat.
>>
>>34271708
What would be the point?
Do you even know what a General's job is, or do you simply think they're soldiers who have done a lot of grinding and have better stats than ordinary soldiers?
>>
>>34272081

Cringe Dog Mattis is a pussy compared to Wehmacht officers
>>
>>34271708

Yes modern generals carry sidearms.

The Canadian ISAF commander had two negligent discharges in Afghanistan.

Probably yes, if the fighting has reached the seat of military organization and there's no where left to regroup there wouldn't really be anything else to do
>>
>>34272622
>there wouldn't really be anything else to do
surrendering is an option and would spare more lives at that point
>>
>>34272144
Isn't a general like the boss of the army u fight him in the end and he as pattern and loot stuff no ?
>>
>>34273292
Yeah basically, WW2 ended when a GI looted the spirit of Japan off of Hirohito using his steal skill

Considering the only thing modern armies fight at the moment is various types of snackbars i woulds say that is a big NO.

Muh Mattis hurr durr
>the last time the US had to defend their own soil, with exception of pearl Harbor was the Spanish American war. 911 doesn't count because shooting opium growers hasn't stopped terrorism.
>>
>>34273761
U don't think snackbars would have the capacity to threatan a general (which in the long run they are serving anyway as a controlled opposition for more gubmint money)
>>
>>34273822
I am saying that surrendering to snackbars is retarded as the video of you being executed by whatever sadistic means they managed to dream up in their opium induced vision "of the pedo prophet will" is just going to show up on Al Jazeera a week later.
Better to go down fighting, preferably with a grenade with a pulled pin in your off hand.

there has been airstrikes every day for the last two years prior to his appointment, 13 was actually a low figure compared to the average airstrikes in Iraq and Syria in 1 day.
