Unrelated to this thread, but maybe some of you can help: I read a story/journal article years ago about postwar japan, and a culture of pacification/childishness that was used to deal with/accept responsibility for imperial japan and its nuclear end. i don't remember much else about it, which country had that idea, etc. does this ring a bell to anyone? A book/article/anything would be helpful

Ardennes posted:Remember, Russians were also thought of as Asian drunken aggressive brutes so it is saying more about how American writers thought of them than their own culture. Also, yeah the Bajorans are specifically supposed to be Israelis, not necessarily Jews. Remember also, back in the 1990s, Palestinians were only terrorists and only Israelis were spiritual freedom fighters. Yeah, I will admit that this is pretty much just my own interpretation. It is interesting how context and history change how we interpret these shows. Courageous Israeli freedom fighters become courageous Palestinians.

"the only rotor platform that can self-deploy globally as well as contest China in the Pacific." Correct me if I'm wrong, but unlike the CH-46 and CH-53 it replaced, it can't actually be used for the specialized missions those helicopters were employed in, like ASW, SAR, aerial minesweeping, resulting in vital capabilities being lost as they were retired? e: Yep. I see that this worked out for Sikorsky, who just got orders for the CH-53K King Stallion as the V-22 cannot do what was promised and take over those tasks.

Frosted Flake posted:"the only rotor platform that can self-deploy globally as well as contest China in the Pacific." Is there an actual reason it can't like payload or just those payloads haven't been adapted to the v22 yet? I know the CH-53K has like 60% more net payload capacity than a V22.

I would assume because you need to carry a lot of weight and fly slowly and stably to use sonar buoys, mine sweeps, dipping sonar, MAD gear, air dropped torpedoes, etc etc.

I think it bears repeating that the guy on reddit who made a whole account to defend the honor of the V-22, died in a V-22 crash and he was the pilot. Like, I don't have anything against him really. But still, one wonders what his last thoughts were as that which he insisted was unlikely and overblown was in fact happening to him. Statistically this doesn't happen, but that's cold comfort as you hurtle to the sea.

Yeah, if I were trained on an aircraft, particularly one as unique as the V22, I’d be fairly proud of it and fanboy about it too

People (mostly dudes) just love their dangerous equipment that they work with, especially if they get to control it. For some reason the first example that springs to mind is Siegfried and Roy and their tigers.

I don't find the Japanese popular media more "Childish", but they have 1) apocalyptic endings coming out of nowhere in a third of the shows and 2) lean way more into escapism than any other countires popular media I know. Both of which are obvious reaction of WW2.

Hubbert posted:Yes, it's called anime, that's the culture of childishness. For those who don't know it, the central premise of paranoia agent is that a bunch of seemingly disconnected people all make up a fictional (American themed) villain to blame for their problems, and/or escape from reality into cutesy anime. There's a strong theme of people in Japan trying to avoid responsibility and play the victim. Also the show makes overt references to mushroom clouds. I remember it as a good show but it's been a few decades.

I'd guess a good comparison would be with South Korea, but I'm pretty sure depicting New Deal politics on tv there is illegal

Delta-Wye posted:cant orgasm unless his partner yanks a cord first There unironically was a chapter in a book about sexual dysfunction among artillerymen after the First World War, but I forget which book and what the cause was off the top of my head. I would speculate that dudes rock and perhaps women weren't that interesting after the opening barrage at Cambrai.
