So was the jamming just kind of ignored because most people are using bolt action so "It fires faster than that rifle even if you count the jamming :downs:" or what? I dont get how they kept those guns in service.

Well, they weren't in service for very long, they were replaced by BARs shortly before the war ended. It was kind of one of those situations where a lovely MG was better than no MG.

I've got this strange feeling that the founding fathers would've beat the image maker's rear end. Civilian control of the military and a lack of peacetime standing armies was a pretty big deal to them.

QFT


9th Company was awesome, the ending was seriously one of the best war movie endings of all time- no, strike that: it's overall one of the best war movies ever made. I know it was all motarded, but when relief finally lands and the lone survivor salutes and says they held, it gave me a loving cold chill. If any of you haven't watched it, you should. It's still on Netflix streaming, I think.

Then why we still got oxymoronic policies? Smarter not harder right?

Another example of human Intel vs throw money at a problem:

Again, I love America, but isn't that why the mig was so effective? It was purposely designed to be counter-intuitive so that the pilot would struggle to learn how to fly it. As a consequence, they could land them shits anywhere partially because the pilot was so comfortable with the mechanics of flight.

Conversely, when you're riding on a 2billion dollar, designed by committee, "lemon" when you encounter a computer error it's extremely hard to fix and continue flying. I know how computers work, but if some rear end in a top hat decides to burn my sdd I'm sol. Again, I'm a dinosaur and, obviously I haven't got to look at the flight systems (and the redundancy therin) but I sure as poo poo couldn't perform heart surgery on nano chips (or whatever the gently caress) in a hibob.

Again, looking at the historical parallels, the Germans had top of the line tanks, but were ultimately ineffective against both a) late soviet counter productions and b) the sheer amount of cheaper, more expendable American tanks

It's a question of efficiency, and the problem is Inefficiency comes at the cost of lives

Looks similar to a gunnery range flag. Usually we'd have a red, yellow and green flag to signify if the weapons were down, loading or ready.

Granted, I was on AAVs, so tanks may have done it differently.

I knew a guy who was in Tops in Blue. He was a huge shithead, everyone hated him and no-one cared about his Tops in Blue stories. No one had any idea of what he did because listening to more than five seconds of his insipid voice was like taking a thumbtack to the eardrum.

The only time I've been to a TIB thing was when I literally had no choice. They were at Lackland while I was at Basic. It wasn't a bad show when you consider the alternative was sitting back in the dorms reading that loving manual. Everyone was waving their stupid lightsaber flashlights like they were lighters. Some of the more shameless of my flight openly wept at the majesty of the performance. It was pretty loving embarrassing.

When you're hitching a ride in an ATV (cv-90) fully geared up, it's not close to possible finding that belt. I wish it was, because I don't trust tankers.

Slamming that back door close, whilst I was fiddling with the mic cable stuck in the door opening. At least I got away with 10 fingers.

It's a similar situation in amtracs generally. When you stuff 20 dudes in the back though, the bodies smashed together acts as its own crash protection :haw:
