@EmpiricalRetard @Silverback375 Better to refer to them as Junior Enlisted Warriors.

@ryanpatrickauth Oh also! I just remembered, for those interested in learning all kind of useful stuff about currently issued weapons (can also serve as good inspiration): check the ‘Training Circular’ portion of the armypubs website. Ever wanted to learn how to use a Javelin? TC 3-22.37.

@TheBuddyCSM @CasualArtyFan If Distro and the FA BN S4 was half as motivated as the average dasher we would never have this issue.

@ryanpatrickauth No battle is complete without 30 pages of the cast doing MDMP while scouring the pages FM 5-0 for a way to make 3rd COA that’s no complete dogshit.

@Outsiderro1273 @RadarFennec “You will never ever hipshoot a 60!” Anyways, here’s 3/75 training direct lay in support of a complex raid.

@megigogi Just go to a tattoo shop and ask for a quote.

@Clint_Davey1 It's like you morons have never heard of direct-lay in your entire life. You are thinking of being an artillery Cannonier. Mortars, especially 60's like shown here engage targets they can visual see while being in extremely close proximity to the FLOT all the time.

@mntwrf The myth of "unwinnable insurgency" has washed the reputation of people like Paul Bremmer, who absolutely should've been prosecuted for gross incompetence.

@MK_Foxbat I don't think the Japanese ever really got over that whole honor-death cult thing.

@AlasdairAdam I think most science fiction has a pedagogical aspect, if they take the science part even remotely seriously, they teach you about how the world works and then twist that to suit the narrative.

@alaskorly Invent another cheap, readily available, and good pistol mag then. Magazine design is crazy hard from an engineering perspective.

@hillme89 It would dramatically change the shape of engagements. That being said, PR, Arma, and Squad show that mortars depicted well aren’t necessarily game breaking. Certainly would make certain Battlefield maps actually fun to play in rush.

[Marked One @MarkedOne2]

@FudgeSmith111 Are there any insurgencies that don’t succeed without some kind of foreign support and involvement?

[Marked One @MarkedOne2]

@BUNNYEXPLODER Sorry bro, I can’t game right now. I need to finish studying the Universal Century so my dirty-talk will be up to par.

@XtorinOhern But where did they get an M2??? Even the Ohio Ordinance M2-SLR costs as much as a 2016 Honda civic

@Shadzey1 This is the first one of those "PSYCHO GUN HORDER APREHENDED" photos where I'm genuinely baffled.

@White_Janissary I also don't think your core thesis is wrong, by the way. The preconditions all exist. Just that it's not a particularly good thing.

[Marked One @MarkedOne2]

@White_Janissary You too can abandon all semblance of principle in an unabashed pursuit of power! Come on! Everybody's doing it!
