  1. My Fleet rifle was named 'Becca, after my roommate's girlfriend, haha.

  2. If we can see through aircraft with the right helmets, why can't we do that with tanks? Isn't that, like, the biggest issue with tanks right now?

  3. I don't think it'd make sense for things that aren't very fast actions that will definitely not last longer than the battery.

  4. ​ @The_Savage_Wombat mhm. I suppose it's not like one couldn't wear laser goggles.

  5. The US and democratic countries in general prioritize crew protection because the political cost of a soldier's death is high; not the same reason Israel does it.

  6. About the GPS not being in vehicles: almost every POW said they didn't know they were in Ukraine, and if they did, they didn't realize it was an invasion until they were getting shot at. Consider the Russian people and their relationship with their enemies; it would be no different than telling American soldiers to start shooting Canadians. Thus, their tactics suck because they aren't using any and they don't have GPS for the same reason they've been cut off from the outside world: Putin doesn't believe his soldiers will walk into Ukraine if they know they're doing it. Like, remember every other Russian operation in the last 30 years: they skull-fucked everyone, but why is this time different: because it is Ukraine and Putin is right: they are one people. I'm sure there are capable soldiers and lots of equipment in reserve...for the trip back to Moscow and overthrow Putin

  7. The times sure have changed. Back in the day, destroyers were the terror of submarines.

  8. I was at a similar outpost in Jordan 10 years ago. We were all stinger gunners and, ironically, our base had zero air defense capabilities.

  9. Canceling the F-22 is a classic boomer move

  16. The Russian infantryman don't seem to know that they're in a war until the get shot at. They're a bunch of boots that can't possibly believe they were going to war. Their tactics suck bc they aren't using any.

  17. The DHS is probably very interested in this war because it is a textbook example of radicalizing (let's call it what it is) foreign fighters. Not so much Americans, but there are countless young 18 year old Europeans who flocked to Ukraine instead of joining their national militaries.

  18. No, we don't.

  21. It's really sad that they shut down this factory.

  22. Nuclear weapons don't need to be accurate; that was what people liked about them so much in the 50s.

  23. Drones aren't supposed to play with fighter jets. Typical Turk comment. 😂

  25. Very cool. I've never heard of this.

  26. Okay, the Warrior is cool and all, but I don't see it putting the ammo where the men go, and that's a huge failure in my book.

  27. That thumbnail got me tho

  28. Ugh, they already made the best helicopter and it was called the AH-56. Instead, the Reformers killed it and we got the Apache and A-10 turd-hog instead.

  29. I'd like you to speak on America's machine gun fetish. Specifically, American tanks have had more machine guns than any other nation since the beginning. Why are we like this!?

  30. But is it modular?

  31. "exclusive?" I don't think he has boys in the CIA, jon

  32.  @donh1572  Well, yeah, but you don't understand how it works; it just takes switching a magazine to go supersonic. That's the whole trick; you have your regular AR-style rifle and can change its function by switching mags.

  33. Do a video on the recruiting crisis.

  35. I really think this is the future of tanks; what could possibly be more tanky than something we are okay losing?

  36. Well, no, Pentagon Wars is fairly close to history IF the roles of the DoD and the protagonist are reversed; he was the negligent bad guy and the DoD did not like him.

  37. The T-62s are probably being used bc everything more modern has had all the copper ripped out.

  40. Cappy, there won't be a war. That isn't the Chinese way. They're going to build an army and navy strong enough to punch us in the nose. Then, all Pacific nations will blue up with them because they don't think we can protect them. The only way to stop this is a preemptive strike, which is something we aren't willing to do. Thus, China wins if we keep doing what we're doing and they keep doing what they're doing. Nobody will die, but that will be the sun setting on our empire.

  41. What China doesn't seem to understand about the American people is that we are convinced that we cannot lose a conventional war. In fact, Left or Right, we will gladly fight anyone that thinks they can pick a fight with us and walk away. I don't even like Pelosi, but that was a Ballsy move on her part.

  42. I appreciate that you're giving the Chinese respect. The biggest mistake the US could make is underestimating them. That's how people get killed.

  43. That is a fair reason not to buy NATO air defense equipment, though. Our shit is very expensive and not very good.

  44. Well, I can't say I'm surprised. Until there is a ridiculous leap in small arms technology, we'll be using these kinds of weapons into the 22nd century.

  45. As long as UA knows where Russia's tank formations are, these don't need to engage them. They're still plenty enough to punch through a BMP-2, and might be able to take on T-62s.

  46. Facts. The AH-64 does everything the A-10 can do, but better.

  47. Cappy, they don't have to transport all of them at once. In fact, I don't think they'd attempt a contested landing unless they were absolutely sure they would succeed, and with the numbers you've put out, they can't do that. Instead, they're going to glass the beaches and every other asset that would let Taiwan contest a landing. Then, they'll just ferry them to the island several times over.

  48. It looks very awkward to carry

  49. How York accomplished this is less a question of tactics and equipment, but one of psychology. Humans are weird.
