What % of veterans end up realizing Butler was right all along, they were duped, and their buddies died for Wall Street?
What blew up this time
>>65422390nothing? Ziggers and Israelis are the enemy of america, The Soviet Union was the first country to recognize Israel and Israel is a zigger outpost.Jan Senja and other talk about this with operation SIG
so you really expect us to believe a bunch of business men would got up to a guy who was known for his left wing views (and general ant business stance) and ask him to coup the government for them
>>65422363Reminder of who made this thread
>>65422411Yes yes, we know, dying so Ben-Gvir can hang more kids is the highest honor a man can aspire to etc etc.
Timothy McVeigh was apparently a genuinely competent Bradley gunner in 2-16 Infantry during Desert Storm and even got a Bronze Star. How much of a “real deal” Bradley experience would that actually have been? Like, if you dropped a 1991 2-16 veteran into /k/ today, what would he say about McVeigh’s experience on the M2, the 25mm Bushmaster, TOWs, crew drills, and fighting Iraqis? Was he actually doing the cool shit people imagine when they hear “Desert Storm Bradley gunner,” or was 90% of it sitting around in the desert waiting for something to happen while maintaining the world’s most complicated lawnmower?

>>65422401>>65422406no. i went AWOL for a daythe M2A4 is a shit vehicle. the A3 was peak brad. the A4 is an electronics overhaul that adds a bunch of sensors. it's somehow heavier than the A3. faults all the time due to the electronics. low voltage problems. hell hole is even narrower. everyone who uses the A4 hates the A4. the only improvement in the A4 is the DVE has two peripheral cameras added
>President Trump has directed the Navy to abandon the electromagnetic aircraft launch system (EMALS) being used on the Gerald R. Ford class carriers and return to traditional steam catapults, according to U.S. officials cited by the Wall Street Journal.>Trump signed a national security memorandum directing the Navy to redesign the fourth Ford class carrier, Doris Miller, and subsequent ships around steam catapults. The first three carriers, Gerald R. Ford, John F. Kennedy and Enterprise, will retain EMALS.>The decision reverses years of Navy and industry resistance to Trump's proposal, largely because replacing EMALS would require significant redesign and could cost billions of dollars.>Trump has criticized EMALS for years, arguing that it is overly complex and less reliable than steam catapults. The move effectively locks in a major technological reversal for future U.S. aircraft carriers.Thoughts?: https://www.wsj.com/us-news/trump-orders-navy-to-restore-old-technology-in-aircraft-carriers-costing-billions-0055ec1b?mod=hp_lead_pos2
>>65422346You have no idea what you’re talking about. They couldn’t even get the E-7 cancelled.
>>65422254>how do we solve competing priorities dragging designs apart>what if we just order them to not hold competing priorities
>>65422371It's so brave of you to post without being able to read
>>65421483Semi related but have the EMALS on the Fords seen improvements in recent days? I know the 2nd ship of the class JFK will have F-35 compatibility but that's about as much I know. Apparently there's a debate about AC vs DC power with the Chinks using the latter cause apparently it works best with her conventional power plant, I don't have any knowledge on that admittedly but I am curious.

>>65419781Several reasons, but it's a good question to ask.The primary reason is that for many people it is THE defining experience in their young adult lives, the time of their life where they naturally reminisce anyways. But for the military it's even more defining because of it's total encapsulation of you for most of your experience there (well, at least for the first like year, but you get the idea)Like the other anon said, this is especially true if you literally got deployed, let alone saw combat, but that's fairly self evident, of course you would remember that.Some people see it as a stepping stone, some people see it as a job, but a lot of people can have surprisingly fond memories of their time in service and like to wear hats and stickers and stuff just so they can strike up conversation with people about it. Go into any youtube comment section and you'll see wrinkled men in their 70s and 80s who still proudly type their basic graduation date and all that.You typically get lonelier as you grow older, in a slightly sad way. A lot of these people view their service as something that defines them, even more so if there is no other event that supersedes it in their lifetime. Talk to an old man about their time in service and you'll see a shimmer in their eyes as they holler on about this memory or that time when and so on. They could go on for hours about all the stories and tails they have...if only they had the people to tell them too!My great-grandfather was an immigrant from Calabria who moved here alone before WW2 to support his wife and children who were still living in Italy. He worked as a dishwasher as the war went on. He was drafted, served a year in service as a private in his 30s, screwing parts together for a country that was bombing his family, and was released after a year.His grave still says (PVT) or something like that. Maybe he put it or his family did or whatever.

>>65422194>and you don't need to spend a lot to get ceramic that stops bulletsThe problem is that if you can blow $665 on a bare low cut Highcum Stroker helmet that's functionally the same as a $70 Ceradyne BA3A from Botach, you shouldn't be rolling sketchy RMAs or 15 year old no-drop Highcom or LTC designs like 4SAS7s or 26149s. Now if you're buying second hand, that's different. $400 gets you a lot more mileage since used non-SOF plates fundamentally don't hold value.$500 on the second hand market gets you a pair of Protech 2230s that stop M2AP at Mach 3.12 and a BA3A. $1065 buying new gets you a pair of Highcoms you can't drop and aren't even true 10x12, and a Highcom helmet which struggles to distinguish itself from the BA3A.

Holy shit, you can purchase NFA items without registration now at some stores in Texas. Feds did NOT appeal this decision.

>>65422178>The order benefits parties that brought the lawsuit, including some dealers based outside northern Texas, but it is not a national injunction.
>>65422178I live in Texas, I don't know care what problems other states have. Good luck!
damn we're like 40% of the way to having all the supposed rights we had 80+ years ago. Is this what winning looks like? Turning 90 years old by the time the NFA, ATF, and FFL system is entirely abolished? Or could it be that these tiny non-victories (you could always just not comply if you truly felt you had rights) are just to keep the masses satiated while nothing actually changes?
>>65422164Another change in the law that ban states can simply ignore, wow this changes everything.
>>65422391Another change in the law that ban states can ignore and the people that live in them can ignore the state.
I have seen the occasional thread every few months revolving around /k/ adjacent movie recommendations, but have any of you watched any of these movies and thought "wow, that was dogshit."For me personally, the way of the gun was terrible. It is roughly a 120 minute long movie, and it has about 20-30 minutes of actual gun related scenes, which were pretty awesome, but the rest of the movie was dedicated to an uninteresting plot revolving around an annoying pregnant woman that I really wished would have been shot early, and the movie had an incredibly unsatisfying ending.
>>65422012he learned some stances that look cool on camera, it's CoD "realism"
>>65420778Its a bad movie, but its ok to like some bad movies. I like it, but its still bad!>>65420894>I really do.Unlike this one, this is a stinker and despite Charlize Theron (who is a good actress and can do action movies) it still manages to just be fucking awful all the way through
>>65422356can't believe they even wanted to make a live action out of this
>>65412978Heat was awful. There was a neat shootout scene but other than that, a bunch of guys whining about divorce.

>>65419474when will this make suppressors not needlessly fucking expensive
>>65422343It won't, only the NFA being declared unconstitutional in the Supreme Court will do that, and even then it will have expense since states will try to ban it anyway
>>65422343how much does a good can cost in europe?
>>65422189Could do that too; I just miss how it was done state by state and even included which person processed your form. Could also filter with various date ranges and by type of NFA item. And unrelated, but reddit now requires you to sign in for old.reddit which is exceedingly gay.

How bad would Operation Downfall - the invasion of Japan - have been? Casualty estimates for the Allies started at a quarter million and went up over a million. For the Japanese it started in the millions and went into tens of millions. Bear in mind the Japs knew where the invasion would come as there were very few suitable beaches. They would have had over 12,000 aircraft available, mostly kamikazes, and around one in six would be expected to score a hit due to mountainous terrain masking their approach. And that retard MacArthur was in charge whose fave pastimes were throwing Marines into the teeth of prepared defences and being wrong about everything. Should they have just blockaded, starved and bombed Japan instead?
>You will never mow down hundreds of starving civilians armed with pointy foliage with an M2
>>65417850So…the literal extinction of the Japanese people?
>>65418489Yep. Already been used as part of an exercise I believe I read
>>65418202All the better. Eradication of a people sometimes is a needed thing.
Downfall would never have happened. Japan was already preparing to surrender in early July, but the Americans had to delay and make unreasonable demands to test their new bombs.
Let’s keep a good thing going anons, post your /k/ adventures and simply ignore any melodramatic faggots who try to derail this time
