  5. That's not new and not a lefty thing.

  6. Land gained isn't as important as line broken. Lines broken were generally never retaken and huge areas went without a fight

  7. It wasn't. We just let Washington say it was

  8. Not really. The French command made plans anticipating Belgium entering the war and made plans based on every permutation of that including France entering Belgium first but the politicians didn't like that. One of many ways politics screwed me over plans

  9. In select parts of Japan

  10. They had one upon war start. They were dead by the time kamikazes came

  11. They didn't care if they died

  13. Von Braun built rockets guided by crude computers

  14. The increased hit ratio did not cover a fraction rhe cost of the plane and pilot

  15. That's silly. There's literally dozens of myths floating around as we speak and several wars you have never heard of

  16. That's silly

  17. There is the B-1b, that's also expected to last forever
    1
  18. That doesn't say very much
    1
  19. That was post kamikaze planes

  20. Didn't matter. It was fast/agile because it was built as small and light as possible. The design intentionally maximized operational risk, creating wild skews in their successes/failures

  21. Same people, different topics
    1
  22. No one is scared. They were regarded as idiots at the time

  23. Poland is not "the West"

  26. Except they wanted to believe it was unreasonably effective. Like the suicide lances their infantry used, it was just an anti-tank mine on a stick that gave a simple man a chance at taking out a tank. Funny story, the Germans had a similar idea, but used two slight improvements: A fuse and a magnet

  27. Irrelevant

  28. Everyone was fighting a mobile war with siege weapons. Any success/failure was just luck anyway

  29. Generals went on suicide missions, yeeting their command into fool's erands. Other commanders committed suicide upon defeat

  30.  @WedontBuyItWeRequestIt  it literally isn't. That is the problem. They think nothing of it, so suicide rates are extremely high.

  31. @fmz0507  yes, but we like to harbor delusions that unseen bosses are cartoon villains.

  32. Why would it?

  33. The Koreans were conscript laborers

  34. Even if that were true, it's totally random and irrelevant

  35. All planes look good when their adversaries are turdworld

  36. No. It's about legends.
