Another interesting Tweet:

Destroyed Russian T-72s and BMP-1s in a Ukrainian field, 2022.
Photo could just as easily be of knocked out Soviet T-72s and BMP-1s in a West German field, 1987.

Fiction and Reality are friends with benefits at the very least, folks.

It makes no difference what men think of war, said the judge.  War endures.  As well ask men what they think of stone.  War was always here.  Before man was, war waited for him.  The ultimate trade awaiting its ultimate practitioner.  That is the way it was and will be.  That way and not some other way.

If they made nothing but WWII games, I'd be perfectly content.  Hypothetical matchups from alternate history 1980s, asymmetrical US-bashes-some-3rd world guerillas, or minor wars between Upper Bumblescum and outer Kaboomistan hold no appeal for me.

I guess it's sort of nice that the word "tactical" seems to refer to some kind of seriousness during your moments of mental clarity.

Jarhead - Yeah. You're probably right.

Gus - I use sweatpants with flannel shorts to soak up my crotch sweat.

Banzai Cat - There is no "partial credit" in grammar. Like anal sex. It's either in, or it's not.

Mirth - We learned long ago that they key isn't to outrun Star, it's to outrun Gus.

Martok - I don't know if it's possible to have an "anti-boner"...but I now have one.

Gus - Celery is vile and has no reason to exist. Like underwear on Star.

^Was just gonna say that...the Ukrainian John Deere Brigade - always ready. The planes look like they are what...75 feet off the ground, if that. Holy shit.

These are the guys that are still alive. They know that their ass will have a manpad SAM on it in a heartbeat if they fly any higher.

Is that a real image or from a computer game?  Games have gotten incredibly realistic.  What kind of shutter speed (or its digital equivalent) does a camera have to have to not smear the shadow of the plane on the ground at speed?  Can anyone find the speed readout in that HUD?

Is that a metaphor for the number of times you struck out in a bar this week?
All that is gold does not glitter,
Not all those who wander are lost;
The old that is strong does not wither,
Deep roots are not reached by the frost.
