Meplat Posted May 27, 2015 Report Share Posted May 27, 2015 The insults you'll receive when you suggest that US soldiers were not well trained... And hell, when I say that, I make it clear I mean well trained on the M16 specifically, but it doesn't matter... There was also "Project 100,000" going on during the issuance of this new rifle, so I'm sure that led to all kinds of unforseen issues.

LoooSeR Posted May 27, 2015 Report Share Posted May 27, 2015 Rebels, Ukraine, AFAIK trophy. ^ Can somebody ID that rifle? Syria. OSV-96, another present from the president. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Virdea Posted May 27, 2015 Report Share Posted May 27, 2015 "We played too much of CoD and designed this" TALOS at SOFIC 2015. Don't know why they showing it with that small plate. Is it body armor and carrier? That exoskeleton would be usefull to help to carry that armor and a lot of other stuff: Sharepack cores are power generation units. He either needs a LOT of power for something like a big radio, or he is the generator for his team. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xthetenth Posted May 27, 2015 Report Share Posted May 27, 2015 War is boring also do a lot of not so good articles about Russian gear/vehicles. They are between "pop-history" and something like "objective view on things". It strikes me as clickbait for a moderately informed crowd, the sort of thing that would've been catered to by that resounding imbecile the war nerd.

xthetenth Posted May 27, 2015 Report Share Posted May 27, 2015 I'm contractually incapable of speaking well of somebody who treats Millennium Challenge 2002 the way the war nerd did. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sturgeon Posted May 27, 2015 Report Share Posted May 27, 2015 I wouldn't claim to be an expert on MC02, and I haven't read War Nerd's treatment of it, but I'm under the impression that MC02 was a huge wake-up call, actually, and led directly to de-emphasizing the carrier battlegroup in a conventional conflict.War Nerd seems to think the carrier's days are numbered - I'm inclined to agree, to a point.So could you be more specific in your criticism of him? Keep in mind, I don't read his stuff all that much. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xthetenth Posted May 27, 2015 Report Share Posted May 27, 2015 The problem with MC2002 is that bit when General van Riper decided that the US needed to be aware of the threat posed by conjurers and necromancers. Luckily the US doesn't fight against enemies capable of putting large Soviet anti-ship missiles on boats displacing less than the weight of the missile and launcher, conjuring targeting fixes up from the luminiferous aether, and claiming that these vessels are in fact perfect facsimiles of civilian craft, which aren't tracked and are therefore capable of being anywhere at any time. We also don't fight enemies capable of returning from the dead or using motorcycle couriers to relay uninterceptable, undetectable messages at light speed.

xthetenth Posted May 27, 2015 Report Share Posted May 27, 2015 I see. That sounds very interesting, do you have any documents or resources for me so I can read further? I'll have to work at it, a lot of it is hearing consistent stuff from everybody working near the armed forces I've asked. It's a real problem getting through all the articles that declare the USN cataclysmically vulnerable to 30 foot boats with Moskits on top. The annoying thing is there are vulnerabilities but it's not to that sort of thing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
