I'm hearing that it makes you look poor and is embarrassing when you're fielding last year's army

It kills me that this is the narrative people have latched onto.

Can a T-62 not kill you just as dead?

I imagine this is some sort of commodity fetishism or something? Newer, more expensive, higher technology military equipment is imbued with a sort of virtue?

If somebody drove a tank down my street I would not be thinking "that's not even one of the better tanks." The main interesting thing about it is that it's there, everything else goes after that

Like you, this guy is confused about current events that he knows about, here's a quick explainer just you're up to speed. That wasn't so bad, was it? Luckily for you, this guy is an expert on this kind of thing, so it's kind of like you're an expert now too. The expert thinks Iran really messed up bad here. You don't want to look dumb in front of the expert, do you?

the blob on the right is a soldier holding a rifle and the blob on the left is the farmer he just canoed, the maple leaf is the brains

It’s clearly a soldier aiming a shoulder-mounted moose, sighting through the back of its head like anybody would. The leaf is decorative and bad design
