Lake of Methane posted:edit: This Malcolm Nance This reminds me of a thirdhand story I have about someone inspecting a 1911 that had a pretty serious mark on the finish at the slide stop - and asked for a discount because of said idiot scratch/mark. Apparently, it was an older guy showing it to him who didn't really take offense at it but just looked defeated and said something along the lines of "We didn't worry so much about the finish when we were doing this in the war (WWII? Korea? Vietnam? No idea), we just wanted to strip it quick and get moving again." It's a very different mindset when your gun is a tool vs. an accessory. I told the story poorly, but you get my point.

Yes but generally tanks blowing up you see flying metal not flying giblets. Also agree with others that the video of random conscripts dying is being gauche but the video of unit commanders is justice.

Couldn't have happened to a nicer guy. No gore or obvious death (just a flash of light and sound from an artillery explosion) in this but spoilering all the same. https://twitter.com/MrKovalenko/status/1520068931800686594

Seeing bad things happen to the Nazi’s of the 21st century is a okay with me. Then again I also thought (with some exceptions, and it was still well made and acted) Downfall was a hilarious romp. Inglorious Basterds was also some amazing revanchist fun. Edit: speaking of apt timing^ That is one epic self own. It’s almost as painful as watch Kadyrov try and do sports (seriously he’s so loving bad it’s like watching Madison, but even more pathetic) Also   https://twitter.com/juliadavisnews/status/1520089797901144065?s=21&t=4X7VRrs1XWg2Nwh0R5GZaA Marshal Prolapse fucked around with this message at 05:35 on Apr 30, 2022 |

I mean I saw the video before someplace else and just the odds of it and how "likely commercial drone drops bomblet through sedan sunroof causing casualties" will be read in history books from now on...wtf Also my inner former infantryman dialogue as I watch combat videos: "Oh, theyre bunched up too close, gonna get hosed up." "He's flagging that guy, that guy...oh cool the RPG didn't clear his backblast". Etc.

So, apparently the Ghost was real and also bought it sometime in the last week or so and is being credited for a total of forty kills, which if true makes him the highest-scoring ace since WW2. I wish I could find a less suspect source than the ones I've seen run with it so far.

The Times report is saying the Ukrainians are confirming that it happened a month ago, so entirely possible those three stories are all referencing the same event.

At this point I'm convinced that the Ghost is some vengeful spirit hijacking bodies. It'd explain the repeated reports of deaths.

I wish I could find a less suspect source than the ones I've seen run with it so far. If the Ghost was real and his kill count was real, the Russians didn't kill him, his command did. 40 kills from February 27 to March 13th? That op tempo had to have been insane. Yes, I know it's a war for Ukraine's survival, but now you've got a dead hero that can't train more pilots. That's of course if there's even an ounce of truth in this. It's one of those stories that looks worse and worse the more you think about it. A.o.D. fucked around with this message at 19:07 on Apr 30, 2022 |
