  1. Why does the US Senate still use printed posters on an easel for presentations? Like projectors have been standard for presentations for like 20 years in business and schools?

  2. Also, not being former military, the only way I understand many of these elements comes down to video games, particularly Wargame 2, in it, US artillery is often precision smaller, more lethal damage, although with the game balance mechanics of the game, the US lacks many of its surveillance satellite and drone capabilities that make precision weapons more useful. Meanwhile Russian forces have a lot more cluster wespons that while they may not be destructive to armor, are useful as suppressing armored forces before an assault. From a gameplay perspective its interesting to see how those mechanics work out, however ultimately using the game as a reliable simulator isn't useful as map sizes are considerably smaller than the maximum effective ranges of these weapon systems.
