At least they used an actual black guy for the photo that time, I think. WWII propaganda directed at black soldiers was either hilariously racist drawings or edited blackface.

no. they had the maxim.

Anyone know why they didn't develop anything like the BAR or Lewis gun? Was it a doctrine conflict or something?

What a dumb thing to do. Build a massive loving ship and then just hide it because you're afraid to actually use it.

That's kind of what happened with the Yamato and the Musashi, too. At least the Germans don't masturbate to the supposed battle prowess of the Bismarck and Tirpitz.

Unfortunately that image implies the F-35 shits money. To be more precise, it should be vacuuming the money upwards into the fuselage, at which point the engine seizes, bursts into flames, and the aircraft burns down to its frame.

Or it just lights the pile on fire with its backwash then explodes.

Video reminds me of a friend of my father's in the 80's who had to ditch shortly after take-off. When he got back to his room after debriefing and poo poo his bunkmates had posted a bill for $14,000,000 on his door.

Do the Turks count? They were doing pretty good for a while there

Turks aren't Arabs. Is it just countries on the Arabian peninsula and north of it that have this problem, or does it crop up in North Africa as well?

Yeah, definitely. Libya lost the Toyota War against Chad. And Egypt has hasn't won wars since it was ruled by the Albanian Muhammad Ali Pasha.

That explains how they got anywhere in that rebellion.

Okay, serious question, what was the last time a native Arab leader waged a big successful war? Because it looks like they've been choking since they fought Charlemagne.

The Golden Horde pretty much obliterated the arab world to the point where they're still recovering to this day. Hell the population Iran didn't recover from when the Khwarezmid's got trounced until the 20th loving century. Remember kids don't talk poo poo to people with the last name of Khan

Yeah, that was what Charlemagne tried to stop. But that makes sense- "Genghis Khan" is the shortest valid answer to a lot of historical questions.

Also Khan's a title, not a last name.

Italian soldiers were experimenting with body armor as early as 1915. Most of the documentation on that comes from Austrians inspecting the bodies after the latest attack.
