What is the most aesthetic aircraft roundel?
>>65318378FAA version had a smaller white aperture in the middle, then they ended up basically using repainted US Navy roundels with white bars since so many planes they had delivered, were painted with US roundels from the factoryRAF tended towards a smaller roundel with the white centre replaced with a light blue (made mixing the white paint with the dark blue paint) from late 1943. But some earlier RAF planes in theatre like Vultee Vengeance and Curtiss Mohawk had the RAAF type roundelsMy personal favourite was the RNZAF's wartime roundel from overpainting the US markings
>>65318737dis is de wae

Given the lessons of GWOT that:1. An army designed for full-scale wars of annihilation struggles in irregular peacekeeping contests where combatants don't even try to match the US in a stand-up fight.2. The differences in outcome between regular units and National Guard units with backgrounds in policing.Is it worth considering another branch of the military focused almost entirely on garrison work? A formal recognition that the two schools of thought between wars of annihilation and irregular warfare deserve equal space without going the full Green Beret route. That feels like a natural fit for the generally older National Guard but it would be something of an expanded scope to also include the intelligence work from both elements of uniformed intelligence and the CIA alongside the anthropology work that the establishment started to lean into at the end of Iraq and Afghanistan.This idea isn't at crazy as it sounds. It revamps a military institution dating from the age of imperialism and the hypothetical asks what such a force would even look like.
>>65321608>lessons of GWOT>not literally every single fucking insurgency in historynot like there was vietnam or anything
>>65321936geneva doesnt apply to irregularsROE was made by the US itself you sociopathic retard
>>65322083We do that with our Feds in Australia, they essentially do tours in pacific and other small countries teaching the locals how to do community policing, law enforcement and detective work. They also do arrest and detain people as well as part of that transitional period of changes.In a less cooperative environment, you'd have to go in a lot harder with what is essentially occupation forces. Which can incorporate some native units but its always been kind of sketchy as anyone whose dealt with spear chuckers and afghans can tell you- they're mostly lazy, corrupt, very fucking stupid and can't be trusted
>>65322550except the retards that decided to invade afghanistan and Iraq kept insisting on it being somehow done as cheap as possiblewhat your proposing is even more expensive than half ass occupying a country for 20 yearsnot to mention half the retard non-goals of the occupation was "building the democracy" cant do that if your going FULL belarus/yugoslav on people, you do that and the retarded Idea cheney and (((neo cohens))) have that the US can totally do whatever without buidling consensus with europe explodes in their face and the EU becomes a thorn in the side of US operations if not leading to kicking out the US in europe

Why were ships of the line painted with a black-and-white livery during the early 19th century? It wasn't down to national identification since it was used by many navies in both europe and america>uss constitution>hms kent>valmy>dvienadsat apostolov
>>65315626>Rule 1 of LandNav: don’t get lost>Rule 2 of LandNav: look cool>Rule 3 of LandNav: if you get lost, look coolGuess it’s universal
>>65314959If they both started off side by side, could one of these sink a modern destroyer?
>>65314959Originally so that your own commanders could quickly identify his own ships in the literal fog of war. Later, merchant ships painted the same pattern to scare off pirates into thinking they have a lot more guns.
>>65323088>can identify own ships>everyone is doing it so you can't identify your own shipsthis seems false.
>>65318100>>65316881>>65316759>>65316614If the modern ship had to stay in point blank range, the Man o War might win.But if the modern ship is allowed freedom of movement, it'll be almost impossible for them to lose since they just have to stay on the stern of the Man o War and just keep unloading on it until it's crippled when you take out the rudder, or just sinks because you do so much damage.And yes a Man o War will have like 4 stern cannons, but all it can hope for is knocking out the modern ships' cannons, and that would take the devil's luck
What made Indian air force so good
>>65314769Isn’t a military branch
>>65323464it most certainly ishttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_States_Armed_Forces> United States federal law establishes six armed forces: the Army, Marine Corps, Navy, Air Force, Space Force, and Coast Guard, each assigned specific roles and operational domains.
>>65314710>What made Indian air force so good?it's big. That's literally it.
>>65314710There is zero way India is above the listed 7-10 air forces.
>>65315470They have zero combat experience. Show me how they do over 3 months of combat and you can sit at the big boy table.

>>65325636tlr7a. I'm pretty happy with it and just in case it wasn't clear that is with it covered in carbon, it's quite bright without that. That's also 300 rounds worth from today and however many were on there from last time.
>>65320610The jury selection process usually filters arseholes like the ones that would think weapon customization = criminal intent. However, the prosecutor will cross examine anything that the judge allows like when Thomas Binger brought up Kyle Rittenhouse's computer game history (Call of Duty). Pieces of shit like that would try to use your favourite colour against you if the court let them even though none of that has ever resulted in a conviction.

This thread unironically ruined the NGSW's reputation. This was the best Mr. Cohen's shills could do?Like I said that fucker looks fake as hell. Unironically wouldn't be surprised if he was a martian sent to fuck us over

>>65320932I when that started. In '97 we never shot at anything but paper targets. We did stab rubber dummies with bayonets though, and learned how to cave in someone's face with our boot heels.
Its generaly understood terror bombing doesnt work and that launching napalm on civilians makes them hate you.But if say only one country had nukes could they use them as effective negotiation tactics?

Wood generally shouldn't undergo such rapid combustion. Was there some other material beneath the boards—perhaps something like the soundproofing foam seen on the wall behind?

>>65321795Brass jew pls go>>65321768Splain. Sounds like youre saying after a few thousand rounds the residual and unlit powder accumulates and should a spark or other catalyst touch the area boom spontaneous combustion?>>65321846>brazilSee this explanation makes more sense to me. Also what are the bananahues doing with incendiary 12 ga rds? Is this the official method of destroying a drug cache? Or is this just to scare the favelamonkeys and occasionally burn down a shanty?
>>65323078>SplainYou have the right assumption, years of unburnt powder collecting into an enclosed space, away from the broom and vacuum, just waiting for an ember.Also they aren't incendiary rounds, they are low velocity bean bags or rubber rounds, for some reason, they always shoot smoky and sparky.

Firearm courses.I'm interested if taking either a carbine or shotgun course would be worth the money. I've been shooting for years and was on my high school's rifle team. Is it just the bare basics for new gun owners or do they offer something more than that?Fuck captcha
You can just shoot uspsa and get the same thing for cheaper
>>65322986I have not really gotten much out of courses. I've found they either agonizingly teach basics or they just jump right to operator LARPing where you demolish targets at 15 yards like it means anything. The most I've gotten from ranges is going to locally run 3 gun matches. It is a good learning experience to actually put yourself up against outside objective observers and time. That will show you where you struggle

>>65317556Yeah
>>65317622I'd be to distracted smoking to write
>>65317556I like the HKS ones, they work well with the factory grips. The zeta6 KPacks are neat, they're a tiny bit too big to be perfect but if you need to slap three rounds in a hurry they work fairly well. Neither are "authentic" though, they used to either carry loose rounds in a pocket or a dump pouch.
