Start Here:

and browse the author.

And yes I consider material like this relevant to our hobby.

This Article BTW puts it in perspective. I may have to load up on MEA :twisted: HAHAHAHAHA

Yeah! But he's kept me in stitches.

Some interesting ideas here and there, but for the most part he doesn't know what he's talking about. At least he admits he's a fat computer slob though

Care to elaborate for those of us who just like rolling dice and moving toy soldiers around a board?

Hi Andrew! My elaboration is this: and it may not be allowed in the rules,

there is a description towrds the end of the article about the development of offensive RPG teams originally being 1 RPG man covered by 2 AK dudes later becoming 2 RPG'ers and only 1 AK gunman because the RPG are considered more effective. I think it's more like the RPG's make a lot more commotion plus you look more the killer if you have one instead of those common AK's that everybody's kid is carrying around these days.
At 15 pounds you need some balls to run with one of those two.

"Oy! Let the dam boy handle that stupid gun. bring me more rockets!"

So i'm looking forward to playing around with ideas that I don't normally think about, like a whole passle of rocketmen like Mark Bowden described in Mogadishu. Maybe I'll wash the dust off of my VOID Suicide Bombers and form them up into units or ambushers. Just stuff really. You know?

The Delta Force comments absolutely kill me. Having been on the receiving end of a few Delta Platoons as opposing forces in an exercise on several occaisions, I can assure you that I am glad as hell these guys are on our side.

You wont find many people in the world who train as hard, heavy and realistically as these guys. Mother of god they are fast, quiet, and efficient.
They bring a "Shock and Awe" without the big bombs.

Linus I totally agree! I think this guys off his rocker but I believe he's right about how some parts of the world are so different from how we have been protected and, raised. I have never actually Had to fight for something to eat in my whole life. Even if we went hungry occasionally.

The Delta guys are Hard! Maybe the raid he wrote about was a Ranger op supporting Delta, hammering through houses is one of their specialties.

He's mistaken about a lot of stuff but he writes some really funny things.

Heck, I know that guy. He is a tool. He could have better hygiene too.

*Smacks palm into face*

*Face palms again for extra measure* :lol: got it now?

:shock: Who's the war nerd? I had to skim through it, but I'll find out in a week or two when I can get onto a computer again I guess
