The flanderisation of stormtroopers pisses me off.
In their first ever onscreen appearance they clear a hallway of enemy soldiers, taking minimal casualties, with a full frontal assault.
So much can be inferred about their equipment and skillset here.
@SandyofCthulhu I HATE Tom. I read the parts in the first time I read LotR, but skipped Tom for the last 8 readthroughs. I also skipped Grey Havens in the 7 last readthroughs -- I hate that the story pretty much ends there.
It's also very weird that before I knew nothing about my genetic heritage, I picked up a reproduction of a Viking helmet I thought was amazing. Well, it turned out to be a Vendel helmet...
Well, hot damn... The Viking ships found in Estonia (Salme) were buried in ~750AD and are thus the FIRST Viking ships to sail and pillage/plunder. However, these two ships and the men met their fate in the lands now known as Estonia. These ships and men originated from area now known as Sweden.
What's so interesting about the ships?!
Hmm, I am actually related to not one, but FIVE men in those ships (yes, they were all related -- I am related to the Leader/Chief and 4 of his male relatives). They would become to known as Vendel Sea Faring Warriors in the history books.
Obviously at least one male survived from that bloodline as I am here today. 😇
THIS is exactly why I left Finland. Communists/Socialists in power who slowly, but steadily, will kill the nation. Today, Finland is in a pit, but I hope the people will wake up and go back to what Finalnd used to be before WWII -- CAPITALIST REPUBLIC.
Humans can do anything they put their mind into. Seriously. When we attempted to get to Special Forces it seemed quite impossible...
Well, I don't obviously now think it is, we just channeled everything we got to the selection process. Trust me when I say that there were Finnish national sports Top 10 guys in the selection and NONE made it to the force. That should tell you something.
If you commit, you can do impossible / unimaginable things.
Funny. The other guys (Finns) in the COLDFRONT Training business messaged me that my "badge" is coming. I was like "what frickin' badge?!" and shrugged it off.
Well, today I got the patch. So, hey, Finns... it's PATCH. Not badge. lol
