send in the Irish….
made me think of this scene. . .for better or worse
The crack Judean suicide squad.
wow.
in the movie ‘ 1,2, 3’; a soviet official their space vehicles had two destruct buttons. First, bows up rocket. Second blows up rocket engineer.
My mind went immediately to trench warfare in WW I. Aristocratic officers ordering their lines of troops into certain death in no man’s land. And then, rinse and repeat.
We’re not that far past such callous insanity, guys.
The British military command during WWI were guilty of being responsible for the deaths of hundreds of thousands of their men with their out-dated and obsolete military tactics. It was criminal what they did.
The Japanese in WWII would have allowed this – and wanted it , as being captured was not something that was looked upon as being Good. I would not poo-poo the motivational skills of the Chinese Educational system- there is the real possiblity that the people would applaud this.
Bill mentions the Epoch Times which is really one of the last true newspapers. If you get a chance get a copy . I get it each week for a mere 16 bucks for a subscription.
I subscribe to them too. And have they occasionally went. against a Republican? Yup. If they didn’t it’s not real journalism. But so much is omitted about the left, that’s where they hit more often.
Real journalism for a change.
This would sound better if our military were prepping for their next war to be against foreign bad guys.
Unfortunately, they’ve been slowly but surely pushing out the real troops with Leftoids who will obey any command, no matter how repugnant. This makes it easier when their next war will be against what Pedo Hitler called the “Clear and Present Threat” that his the half of the country that voted against the Biden* junta
Scots comment, “send the peasants in” reminds me of the battle between Napoleon and the Holy Roman Empire. The French on one side of a bridge and the Roman Knights on the other. The French had the knights outnumbered 30 to 1 but the 300 knights attacked because they had 20000 peasants and citizens on the ridgeline behind them. Yet when the battle began the peasant ‘army’ never left the hill. The knights had no cannon, obsolete weapons and armour and a reputation for corruption that was epic. Two cannons wiped them out in minutes. After crossing that bridge the French were escorted to the cities of Italy by the cheering onlookers. The cities mostly fell without a shot. Cathedrals became stables and palaces became brothels over night. The defenders of the faith had lost the faith of the people.
Declaring yourself President for life kind of limits your retirement options to a bullet or a tablet. He now has a third option a dress uniform with a shiny helmet.
Bill’s right about the problem with command and control in totalitarian regimes ruled by fear. The WW II Germans didn’t have this problem, and they were excellent soldiers for all their being duped by a madman and his Nazi chronies.
The Japanese did have this problem. The Chinese and Russians of today have this problem too. The difference is highly accented in the following illustration …
Top down Chinese style command and control — Command orders an attack. Troops attack and keep attacking until told to stop. Troops die because they know there are more troops behind them who will shoot them if they stop attacking. They’re going to die one way or the other and they know this.
U.S. Marines — Command orders an attack. Marines attack. Marines run into a problem during the attack. “Hey guys, this isn’t working, let’s try something else so our attack is successful and our mission accomplished”. Marines try something else. Marines keep trying something else until something works.
In the former instance troops are motivated by fear of their own people. In the latter troops are motivated to accomplish the mission successfully.
That makes all the difference.
This sounds like something from science fiction. I believe it but probably wouldn’t had I heard this elsewhere.
The guys are wrong right at the beginning. The ways to defeat this are not limited to manually disabling it or jamming the remote control frequency. It’s actually much simpler than that. Just don’t put the helmet on.
Which means that our very excellent marksmen in the U.S. Marines, the first U.S. combat element you’re likely to face, will be going for headshots and giggling about it.
Or …
Leave the helmets on and we’ll shoot for the explosive charge. That’s even more sporting.
Semper Fi, Chinese Communist dumbasses.
Headshots at the explosives resulting in mini fireworks! Cool!😆
I can triangulate sound better without the helmet on.
… which is a damn good trick considering that humans are binaural not trinaural. You’re just making excuses not to wear your exploding helmet like all the other good little pogues. 😉
Considering that this is all about the Chinese Commies I’d be surprised if they don’t invent a locking chinstrap that can only be undone by an officer of proper rank.
you know what I meant.. 😉 It always felt to me like the sound would ‘bounce around’ in the helmet. But that was before the current design.
Yes, I did, that was a friendly dig not an insult. Not easy to get that across in text.
When I was in the military we had the old ‘steel pot’ helmets but they didn’t impede hearing much. Depending on the angle you held your head they could actually aid in gathering sound waves to get them to your ears. The new kevlar helmets are designed to do this even more so.
Sound ‘bouncing around’ inside a helmet isn’t really an issue because the distances are so short that bounces (secondary, tertiary, quaternary etc.) are indistinguishable from primaries and do not degrade aural perception significantly. Human ears are designed to gather sound waves and bounce them down the ear canal and I’m sure you don’t notice that bouncing either.
Much more of a problem is the noise floor. If there are a lot of leaves rustling in the breeze that sort of thing can mask sounds you’d want to hear. Of course in a firefight that noise floor is much higher with your own and your fellow troops weapons being discharged in your immediate vicinity with no hearing protection at all. I’ve been functionally deaf for hours after that sort of thing.
