Right, no worries. I was just being lazy and didn’t wanna explain. You did and did it in less words than I would’ve needed.

Yup, that’s why I put “mainly”

The Abrams uses jet fuel mainly. But most tanks are diesel.

Clearly you’ve never been in the military. Let’s say the enemy one day drops leaflets saying they will gas your position every 12 hours at 8 AM and 8 PM every day. You’re prepared with your gas mask and full NBC gear every 12 hrs. No danger at all right? Wrong. Even if nobody dies at all from the gas, the act of putting that stuff on twice a day will quickly give someone PTSD.

What if I forget or lose my suit?!? What if I oversleep my alarm?!? Are those army dudes at the treeline? I can’t see out of this thing! I can’t breathe! Fuuuuuck!!! The psychological effect is arguably worse than the weapons themselves seeing as the psych patients don’t even have to be hit by it to feel lifelong damaging effects.

Well that’s ironic, cause dear leader has HIM dying!

The boobs drawn on the wall should help.

It’s reasonable to assume that many of us are veterans or to put it another way; can just as easily explain the US doctrine as jerk off in a porta-john in under 5 mins during an Iraqi summer.

Sorry boss, I gotta leave 2 hours early to pick up my F-15 from the paint shop.

My only regret of my service was not getting to fire the mk 19.

I’m a big fan of the 40mm. I don’t know that I’d like that. I liked having my 203, and knowing there were several others as well, which could be quickly switched to. This thing looks alright more of as a niche carry thing. Like, wanting a couple guys to carry one, but it’s not their primary weapon. I can’t fucking imagine stepping out of an apc or fast roping out of a helicopter with just that. Or maybe I’m just old and stuck in my way, I’m hoping maybe a little of both!

Same guys trying to think of the worst possible “would you rather…”

Interesting. After I got out, my interest in modern military fell off for a while until the Russia/Ukraine war, so there’s a pretty big gap in my knowledge.

The most fun was getting laughed at by the special forces for having to wear a uniform at all. Those mfers would go to chow wearing the tiniest PT shorts they could squeeze into, and then literally hit the “randomize outfit” button after they selected the shorts.

Sf guy #1: booty shorts, One black boot, one tan boot, no shirt, vest, boonie cap.

SF guy #2: booty shorts, PT shoes, knee pads, ACU top, beret

SF guy #3: booty shorts, tan boots, elbow and knee pads, under armour shirt, full kevlar w/ nvgs

SF guy #4: booty shorts w/ visible whale tail, mechanix gloves, neon green mesh top, aviator sunglasses, Santa hat.

Not even kidding on that last one. It was the only one memorable enough to recall exactly the uniform.

That mini timed grenade launcher that never happened was as sick as the stars wars space defense.

Man, I fuckin hated those guys. “Gun? Is this the navy?”

You think Russia is hard to invade? Try Texas sized Switzerland with bears and moose.

If you didn’t say it, I was going to.

I fucking need this!

Too true.

Oh totally, it is big for a dust devil, but that’s all it is.
