I'm too tipsy to be funny rn but the embedded video got me wondering about what that kinda parade would look like at Benning or Hood or wherever. Also the kind of bitching and bloopers that have to occur behind the scenes during practice.

You are seriously the most miserable person in gip, dude. Think about how miserable that is. This is a sincere question that you will neither take sincerely or seriously, but why are you okay being in a place that causes you to consistently lash out at people and be a black hole of negativity? Why should people be subjected to your constant negativity? Why do you honestly think that it is okay to be so mean to people all the time? There is clearly something going on with you that has you so angry. Stop taking it out on us, for fucks’ sake.

I remember Sparks' page before he went full on M113 crazy. It was goofy but he had a bunch of stuff about improving LBE and things which I thought was at least interesting. It's funny to see him go from "modifying a poncho liner like this makes it more useful" to "WE NEED AEROGAVINS WITH A-10 WINGS TO WIN THE WAR NOW!" He always loved the M113 though and even back then his writing style was "The army would be perfect IF ONLY THEY'D LISTEN!!!!"

Sparky is just loving crazy in love with M113. Don't get upset at such pure adoration.

That nice low wide flat bottom is perfect maximizing the absorption of all the force of an ied and directing it right into the crew compartment. On the plus side you’d have less veterans with TBIs.

I'm a big fan of the fact that the 113 was designed without any protection for the gunner because they thought the M2 they put on it would put out sufficient fire that nobody would face one. Then the Viet Cong went to loving town on them at Ap Bac.

"Why do we carry so much plastic explosive in our (M113) command car, Herr Feldwebel?" "We're armored engineers." "But, what happens if we get hit?" "What happens if they get through the tanks we support, Herr Gefreiter?" "Ahhhh, we die?" "Exactly!"

Everything about the M113 guy blows me away in terms of just how out there it is. My dad in vietnam hated those things and said he felt safer outside of one and that was the first thing I thought of when I got to ft bliss and saw that we had them in our motor pool and I'd now be driving them on occasion. I can't imagine how people who actually had to use those in iraq or afghanistan felt, at least mraps might have been marginally safer.
