In all seriousness though, this is because the west in general has low birth rates and without immigration our populations will rapidly age, so to restore white supremacy we’re going to fight the third world by emptying out our retirement homes.

Can’t cross the same bridge twice, we tried college students in Vietnam, turns out college kids like me are all uppity and protest and stuff, so they’re not doing that again. This time it’s old people.

I will do my best to fight this war. But the only ammunition I have against China is the drip of Hirohito memes

I stay fit but I can’t imagine doing basic at 42. I felt the pain in preferred sports starting in my 30s. Maybe if they make these guys drone operators. I could do that. I could be in an air conditioned trailer in Nevada blasting baddies by drone like in The Forever Peace.

Well, historically speaking, the fastest way to clear a minefield is with infantry and how fast they run isn’t a huge factor.

You know a lot of advanced armies would come up with all these gadgets and gizmos for detecting mines, you don’t have to do it that way.

come to think of it. I'm surprised with all the money the current administration spends on military and AI they haven't built bipedal walking tanks. we have a space force but no mechs.
where's our metal gears? our orbital frames? hell wheres our armored cores?

AI isn’t actually intelligent. Nobody has any idea how tf to make a humanoid robot that can do anything useful.

Anonymous F double-posted this 1 month ago, 1 minute later, 5 hours after the original post[^] [v] #1,425,947

Also drones are less expensive and have greater range anyway. So there probably will never be humanoid robot soldiers. Which is problematic because that means poor countries can use them against rich countries now.

They could use unmanned vehicles or prisoners for that. The second is a “war crime,” but you could always shoot over their heads so they run into the field and write up the report how you please.

Nobody’s done that since the Egyptian pharaohs.

Their civilization lasted a long time. It’s almost like if the king’s survival depends on winning wars, the wars get won more often. Instead we have Vietnam, Iraq, Afghanistan, and now Iran.

Anonymous J triple-posted this 1 month ago, 2 minutes later, 19 hours after the original post[^] [v] #1,426,000

Some of the pharaohs actually lived into their 90s too. So they really were good at the whole not losing wars thing.

If only…
