That's the thing - if all you want is an oppressive police state that kills undesirables with optimum efficiency you don't need RPGs. You just need fewer pesky civil liberties and a political environment even more permissive about doing lovely things to people.

FastestGunAlive posted:The author of this, William Lind, is apparently a popular military theorist. He popularized the term “fourth generation war”. He also recently wrote an op-ed for some conservative think tank about a CO from my recent deployment who was fired. He blames it on political correctness and bemoans the loss of the greatest tactical mind ever. He is also, according to Wikipedia, a light rail enthusiast.

I guess you get around the conservative fear of mass transit bringing "undesirable elements" from poor neighborhoods into richer areas if you just give the government carte blanche to execute everybody who isn't a straight white Christian to begin with.

It's worth reading at least a few pages into that Let's Read because it somehow gets even more nuts: the rebels apparently defeat the modern U.S. military by using surplus T-34's donated to them from the Russian Tsar.

The Bear and the Dragon is a different kind of crazy in that Russia joins NATO and China's government begins a peaceful transition to democracy after a coup by student leaders and a reformer in the politburo. It's straight up yellow peril mixed with the insidiousness of communism. There is a bit where the Chinese government murders a group of religious leaders when they try to prevent a forced abortion from happening.

It's straight up yellow peril mixed with the insidiousness of communism. There is a bit where the Chinese government murders a group of religious leaders when they try to prevent a forced abortion from happening. Correction: what happens is the Vatican's ambassador to China is killed while trying to prevent doctors from literally injecting a newborn infant with poison before it can draw its first breath, because Tom Clancy was about as subtle as a sledgehammer re: his views on abortion. The international condemnation that this incident draws (because somehow the country infamous for the Great Firewall isn't able to keep this incident from immediately reaching every news desk on Earth) somehow plays into China deciding that their best course of action is to then invade Russia in the hopes of securing a recently-discovered deposit of both petroleum and gold in Siberia. Said invasion immediately goes tits-up when the general commanding the invasion is shot and killed by an old-rear end WW2 veteran living in the woods with his Mosin-Nagant, who is also the one who discovered the gold deposit in the first place. Then China decides to just scream "gently caress it" and launches a nuclear strike aimed at Washington D.C., which is only barely averted when the warheads are destroyed literally within visible distance of the White House by an AEGIS-equipped USN ship parked in the mouth of the Potomac. While US president and eternally blessed Clancy darling Jack Ryan watches, having decided that hiding in the nuclear bunker is for pussies. Also, I'm pretty sure that the scene immediately prior to the nuclear launch featured a guest appearance by Rainbow 6, tasked with infiltrating the Chinese missile base to stop the nukes from launching in the first place (they fail, but it's attributed to the Russian spec-ops team accompanying them).

Appologies for the Funker vid, but here's some WW2 footage featuring the rarest of pokeymans: an M4 (the cast hull one) with a 76. I wonder what was the longest serving M4 that eventually got the 76(W) treatment. https://www.funker530.com/intense-street-battles-caught-film-wwii/ drat, those tanks are clean. People like modeling them with markings and all sorts of baggage poo poo, but these ones are bare-bones. Cyrano4747 posted:I cast magic missile at the darkness

Supposedly, yes. A couple of my mates have written papers on it, but it's been many years now. I know the, normally well-sourced, anarchy FAQ has a section on the Spanish civil war, try to check it out: https://anarchism.pageabode.com/afaq/secI8.html

I wonder how many of those wounded from the list previously died from their wounds. Not that many dead for such an attack and the reports made it sound more dramatic. Didn't it mention that all the officers were knocked out?
