I don't see why everyone is so up in arms over some IDF guy getting kidnapped. Last guy they nabbed sold for half a village worth of palis. At that exchange rate they could buy back Jerusalem with two dozen captured. Everyone told them it was a loving bad idea, and this is hardly the last reservist we'll see dragged into a tunnel.quote:5 kills a day with iron sights during winter near the arctic circle. That dude was a loving beast. To be fair the Russians, showing a near hilarious ineptitude for winter war, had neither skis, now snow shoes, nor light tracked vehicles like snowmobiles. In chest high snow. Their warm clothes did not allow for moving about much, and many went snowblind for lack of sunglasses. Not to mention both vehicle gears and gun mechanisms froze solid due to lack of oils and experience in arctic maintainance. It really was the worst kind of debacle you can imagine, the wiki k/d ratio of the winter war being quite telling. Häyhä described them as more or less dumb animal cubs waddling helplessly about as he picked them off one by one. Unable to efficiently move into cover, or in many cases even fire their frozen weapons. Imagine loving lying there stuck in the snow like a fat walmart shopper who's fallen off his rascal, as you hear the rhythmic bang-clack-clack-bang of a mauser methodically working it's way through your unit. Panzeh posted:You guys do realize that Finland lost both times anyway? One of the two superpowers of the age wanted to annex and puppet a nation with less inhabitants than your average city. It failed, twice. Gaining no more than a few bogs and a paper from the Finns promising to play nice. The Finns then proceed to break the back of their own communist movement, literally miles away from Leningrad, and the Soviets said "gently caress it, we're not going in there again" and let them. The Finns were free when all the rest of their half of Europe was to a more or less literal degree under the Russian boot. I'm pretty sure the Finns won, Russian consolation prize bogs notwithstanding. Courthouse fucked around with this message at 20:57 on Aug 1, 2014 |

Zeroisanumber posted:A lot of older dudes can shoot spooky-accurate with iron sights. I watched my grandad nail a gas can sitting ~400 yards away with an open sight on an old Mauser rifle, I wouldn't have believed it if I didn't see it with my own eyes. I went to the shooting range with some guys with fancy modern sniper rifles and all the latest hilariously expensive schmidt and bender optics, we shot next to some very old guys that had participated in the winter war. They had Swedish mausers with iron sights. They shot better standing than we did prone. Those guys are bad rear end.  The range was from 200 to 600meters (600m = 656 yards).

white privilege posted:that's not a good comparison at all, we never really did poo poo to sadr city. we just walled it off and stopped even doing HVI raids inside after like 09 It was a protracted fight where we would occasionally blow up some buildings and launch a ground offensive every so often, punctuated by ceasefires that would last for a certain amount of time until sectarian tensions boiled over. And as you said, we basically walled them off and said to hell with them. So pretty similar to Gaza.

Any building can be a hospital or a school when your education system is not learning to read and the latest advancement in your people's medical technology is the application of leeches, and unheard prayers to their false god. What, are the Israeli's just supposed to bomb things that aren't buildings just to make sure they don't schwack a level 7 Hamas shaman who's spec'd for heals and team HP buffs? Go gently caress yourself, I bet you think Hamas are people. loving mud sympathizers man, can't believe they're in are country.

When I went to Tel Aviv, there were bars in Florentine that had walk-up shot windows on the street. You could walk up, do shots, and continue walking down the street. You get me that in a country run by Hamas or any other fundamentalist Islamic regime, I'll support those fuckin heathens, too. I'll wait here while you google to see if that's cool under sharia law

if it helps your story, the majority of the time you're walking in a village with a poo poo ton of kids around you're going to get offered to buy jack daniels or kush or something else. i mean, it's a bit more discrete than a bar or whatever, but it's pretty much how alcoholics and meth heads handle things in dry counties in the good ole US of A.
