The thing about "soldiers will be soldiers, lol" is soldiers are mostly, like, late teens early twenties, and kids of that age are universally dumb as gently caress whether they're soldiers or not. I know I was.

The main thing soldiers do when they're in a warzone is burn down people's houses either just for fun, or for a source of warmth, or both at the same time. This is a commonality I've encountered in a lot of different narratives from a lot of different sources about a lot of different wars. Teenage soldiers are just way more ready to make a big bonfire out of somebody's house than gather wood, arrange it, etc. And it's almost never ideological, it's just lazy. Or out of boredom.

Topps doesn't want people to know, but Bazooka Joe is really racist. If he and the Hawaiian Punch guy get together Joe would definitely end up making a scene

Fun fact: “rocket‐propelled grenade” is a backronym.

The Russian acronym is РПГ, which when transliterated from the Cyrillic alphabet to the Latin, yields “RPG”. The full Russian name is Ручной противотанковый гранатомёт, meaning “hand‐held anti-tank grenade launcher”. Nothing about rockets.

Rifle grenades are a different thing. But also real. Before they invented the modern grenade launcher from the movies that makes the "DOONK" noise, the way to get a grenade to go further was to stick it on the end of your rifle and remember to load a blank round into the chamber :v:

They fought both world wars with this technology and also the korean war before someone thought "maybe there is a better way"

Or not a blank round, plenty of those were bullet-trap designs that worked with regular rounds.
