practically a wizard is very vulnerable to an average infantry man, and would typically have shorter range that than a rifle for their "offensive" magic. This is why canonically in the Harry Potter universe, all the witches offered themselves to be fucked by muggles as a peace offering after firearms were developed.

that said, wizards would be best utilized in logistical role, R&D, or specific SF roles

I think recruitment is fine its never been not fine. Only scaremongers are making it seem like Europe is in trouble.
The only countries at war are Ukraine and Russia. It's not going to spread to Europe for the time being so who cares if muh german army doesnt have 3 million people in it.
Counter to this and in line with the thread topic recruitment in the US is stellar but it's due to:
>the numbers getting lower year by year as the quotas were not met and now suddenly theyre being met beyond expectation
>poor entry level job market
>>
>>65293388
To address both points
>quotas are lower than previous years
Do you mean to tell me that the military needs fewer people when it is NOT at war or occupying multiple countries? I could've sworn we were expected to be at maximum capacity at all times no matter the circumstances!

>poor entry level job market
The military has always offered young men the opportunity to accelerate their careers and find success in the job market, but what we saw in the past couple of decades was an attempt to subvert that by the pay-to-play universities that now have 2 generations indentured to soul-crushing student loans they took in a failed attempt to get a leg up without making any sacrifices.

then its already too late, they are fast and the first bite already causes damage. just shoot it when it comes at you. thats what you have a gun for, to not have to put up with shit like aggressive dogs and their "i may bite or i may not, i might bite a little or not, just let me circle you and get close to you while i growl and bark like im going to maul you, which i may or may not do" bullshit.

everyone in america is armed and america is crime central. its only reasonable for an american police officer to be ready for combat at all times. dont want to end in the grave or worse permanently disabled with chronic pain 24/7. its not fun not being able to move your hand anymore because a dog has ripped your forearm.

Maybe if you're made out of tissue paper. Anyway dealing with the cops and legal system afterwards is more dangerous than the dog itself in the event you start shooting in a city, it better be undeniable and taking a little bite solves that easy

this doesnt apply to research papers
>>
>>65291015
The government absolutely has and frequently exercises classification authority over civilian research, I have no idea how you’ve arrived at the conclusion they don’t. On top of that, the major contractors very jealously guard their IP. It is one of the major reasons McDonnell’s A-12 was such a disaster. Technical information on ATF was so heavily classified that they were completely siloed away and not allowed to disclose any relevant information on stealth technologies to the ATA team. Perhaps the greatest intelligence coup of the Cold War was that the Soviets allowed the paper on radar reflection equations to be published internationally, which formed the initial backbone of American stealth research. To prevent that happening to us what is allowed to be published is very closely vetted. You are never allowed to hear about the interesting work being done until it is no longer of interest.
>>
>>65291049
It's really the opposite. You hear shitloads about interesting work, then one day you just stop hearing about it. Boeing's metamaterial coating I mentioned earlier in the thread is an excellent example of this. You could read quite a bit about it, and PhantomWork's research partners at Duke and Purdue published a fair bit...until one day it stopped. Stopped and slow light would be another, but then again it's sort of the same thing because they were hunting for materials with specific optical properties and supported scattering modes for (((reasons))). What's funny is everyone credits LockMart for "discovering" the implications of Method of Edge Waves, when in reality it was some well-read desk monkey at the Department of Commerce's Office of Foreign Technology that called LockMart (and apparently NG as well) and said "hey, I have something you'd be interested in". You can also add gaseous phase conjugators and metamaterials to the list of things we cribbed from PUBLISHED Russian research.
>>
>>65291361
Sure, you get funny high concept stuff that doesn’t seem at all achievable outside a lab and won’t be militarily relevant published. But then some breakthrough happens, or someone with the right authority suspects it might soon, and then we never ever ever hear about it again until 40 years after whatever project it was integrated into retires. Probably poor phrasing on my part, I meant the “interesting” part as more of the part where they start operationalizing it since those are the bits that personally interest me.

If these were American soldiers they'd get a bunch of medals, a presidential visit and relatively good healthcare (VA is sadly shit in some cases).
In Russia they just give them a bag of cheetos and one of those weird skateboard looking things to sit on, and there's no collective transport for them either unlike Soviet Afghan veterans.

On a random YouTube binge the other week I kept seeing this aussies buying FMTVs to convert into campers. Now after two weeks in the field I gaze lustfully at the medics and their ambulance hmmwv compared to my shitty fox hole.
Anyone thought about converting a military vehicle into a camper? While I think that the ambulance hmmwv would be hard to beat something about gutting a contact truck speaks to me. Totally enough room to set up a bed on one side, toss some cooking stuff on the other ect. Sure as shit not getting the up armored version though.
