USMC are reorganizing their doctrine to be prepared for Pacific operations. Theres a lot to be said about red scare, racism, etc. but what use is a heavy armored tank on a beachfront?

Makes sense. We’re technologically at the point where armor can no longer keep up, so to be invulnerable you need to remove the only true vulnerability which is the human.

I should’ve probably clarified that MBTs as we currently know them are being phased out for lighter armored tanks with capabilities from the designs of missile vehicles or personnel carries. But specifically the USMC are getting rid of their MBTs entirely to develop lightly armored rocket launchers like the HIMARS.

Also the US Army are still holding on to the Abrams, but they are also open about how future development is based on the principal that current MBTs have hit their weight limit. So in the next decade or so we’ll probably see Abrams variants with less armor but heavily incorporating some design of missile and rocket carriers.

(There’s also drones/unmanned vehicles, but I doubt we’ll see any concrete media about that for a while)

This is pretty much why tanks are being phased out for missile vehicles or personnel carriers, in the same vein why battleships are not made anymore

There’s a remake of the game and they included actual Native American characters and storylines. Was actually enjoyable to play.

Got permabanned over a year ago for telling Jordan Peterson to blow his brains out and my life has genuinely improved

Could be a World Series win if he stops putting Kimbrel in

Was trying to explain it to a coworker after we got into an argument when I said the executives in the office are living off our work. He said something about how we’re paid a fair market wage, so I pulled out our labor rate sheet and showed him just exactly how much our company charges clients for our labor (generally 4-6 times more than our hourly wage) and was like no, that’s the fair market wage and it finally made sense to him
