>>64099090Yeah, thought so. Looks early digital instead of film, and chest-rigs instead of webgear.
Kosovo in 1999 was still film. Afghanistan invasion is mostly film, but lot of early digital. OIF is mostly digital.

>>64099811On December 13, 1944, the USS Nashville (CL-43) was struck by a kamikaze aircraft while operating in the Pacific Theater during World War II. The attack occurred near Negros Island and resulted in 133 sailors being killed and 190 wounded. The kamikaze crashed into the ship's port 5-inch gun mount, causing a fire and explosions. Despite the extensive damage, the ship's crew managed to keep the remaining guns firing and the ship afloat.

This picture reminds me more of how brutal war is more than any other. It's just numbers on a grid, each number a brother, son, father. Just numbers on a grid.
>>64101696For context:
>What we are seeing here are pieces of four 6x6 grids (one complete and three partial) numbered (in red) 1-36, each one of these squares further subdivided into four section. Each larger square composed of 36 squares is 1000x1000 yards total, meaning that each one of the 36 subdivisions is about 166x166 yards, and each of the four segments of one smaller square is 83 yards. The blue numbers indicate a soldier killed on that field of battle which means that in the large 36-square "M" subdivision #18 that there were 210+29+372+17 fatalities, or 628 on a 166x166 yard field, or in one case 372 killed on a 83x83 yard plain. The deaths were even more intense on other areas of the field--in Square S #11 there were 749+207+234+126, or 1,416 deaths in that 166x166 yard field, and 749 on the 83x83 yard field. It is hard to visualize such loss. I picture a U.S. football field--there are 22 players on the field during play, and that seems to populate the area pretty well--casualties of 749 soldiers on a similar area would be nearly 35 times that, meaning that placed equidistantly and with a few feet on the sides they would cover the field. There are, what, 75 people on a football team? That means at the beginning of the game when all of the players and coaches and staff and cheerleaders and member of the band run out onto the field to take their places, they would all be dead--and then some. That is a lot of death.

>killing people is le BASED as long as someone else tells me to do it
I don't understand how people are so willing to go to war. Or beyond that, how normal people glorify it, push for it, and venerate their countries' soldiers as heroes.
I don't think most people actually understand what war is. Maybe they haven't seen enough fpv drone videos. Maybe they don't have the brain power.
>>64099095>>trying to surrender to artillery shellsHaving a flag ready to surrender while you're hunkered down is probably the most sensible thing to do given the situation. Guys just seem to have had dog shit luck that they got hit with what was probably airbursting artillery.
Maybe they could have tried deserting before this. But then that might have seen em into Fedayeen Saddam guys and getting shot. It's kind of a shit situation to be in really.

>Maybe they haven't seen enough fpv drone videos. Maybe they don't have the brain power.yeah a watching a few vids makes you more understanding and smarter than others sure!
>>64107659Doing bad things because they are necessary does not make them good things. A necessary evil is not something that you want to do but something that you have to do. You can't say "FUCK YEAH KILL EM ALL" while also pretending that you're just doing something out of duty or necessity. You want it too much for that to be true.
This entire idea that a good thing can negate a bad thing is retarded toddler tier logic. These are discrete actions and they can't be equaled out like that. It's especially dangerous for the stupid and easily convinced, who will readily do heinous shit as long as you tell em it's for a good cause. Rarely if ever are there soldiers who believe their side is unjustified in their actions.

>>64100117It's the uboat factory Valentin in Bremen, Germany. The roof was 4.5m (~14 feet) of reinforced concrete. Keeping that much weight up in a slab required an absurd amount of rebar. When the bomb hit, the massive amounts of concrete falling dragged the rebar down with it. Rebar is meant to resist tensile (pulling) forces, it really isn't intended to be stiff. You see similar twisting in the destruction of other large, reinforced concrete buildings like the WTC after 9/11.

>>64108614The reality is brutal and of course it sucks that the ukie guy died. But thereโs a part of my brain thatโs weirdly inclined to romanticize the scene where the ukie said he was finished and congratulated the mongolโs skill before asking to be allowed to bleed out quietly, and the mongol agreeing to his request and leaving him rather than finishing him off.
