The last true sword issued by the US military was in ww1 and it was a cavalry saber. It was designed by patton himself when he was still a lieutenant and is very cool but that they went away with calvary should tell you something. In ww2 we even cut existing bayonets with blades large enough to qualify as a shortswords down to 10 inch blade coverting them into combat knifes all while the very man who designed that last saber was a 4 star general in command of entire armies. What the fuck is a sword going to do for you against drones? A knife is a more versatile tool and the range advantages of a sword over a knife are severely limited when a swords range is still enough room to aim effectively. The most realistic usecase is if you're in an environment with heavy vegetation which is exactly why even though we've moved away from larger blades machetes are still produced for the military.

Swords are a last resort weapon after bows and spears. In the modern day a knife is a far more practical melee weapon. In fact, a bayonet is more practical than a sword.

Swords are only useful as a policing weapon against unarmed peasants.

For all the drone trannies in the thread:
Drones are a fucking meme forced by NAFO trannies posting gore videos. They are a terror weapon and are overall not that effective of a weapon.
80% of all casualties in Ukraine have been caused by artillery:
https://www.cfr.org/expert-brief/weapons-war-race-between-russia-and-ukraine
Drones fall under ieds, the combined death toll from ieds, naval fire, and land mines is 2% of civilian casualties, and civilian casualties heavily mirror combat casualties in this war:
https://aoav.org.uk/2024/ukraine-casualty-monitor
And Ukraine is one of the most mines places on the planet, so at least 1% (probably like 1.9%) of that 2% is probably land mines.
https://press.un.org/en/2024/sc15699.doc.htm
Drones have probably been most effectively used as FOs (that’s forward observers to you retards out there) for Ukrainian arty.
Anyways, I hate that this is posted non stop and I hate NAFO trannies. Some dickless cocksucking faggot will probably call me a Russian for posting this truth and evidence. Nobody likes your prisoner execution gore videos on here.

All the cheap machetes at walmart are bent on the racks 99% of the time and the worst machete I ever had was an SOG that bent on everything. Those cheap Harbor Freight machetes are legit though; I bought one as disposable but after 3 years and sitting outdoors sometimes it still works great and isn't even rusting. The saw back really does work good too, even if it looks a little fragile where the teeth end on the bottom it's never failed me.

My post also doesn’t take into account the global nature of drone production.

https://www.huffpost.com/entry/gallium-critical-minerals-us_n_65fb62fde4b07c954d54942c
Gallium is a by product of bauxite mining, which China ironically has to go to Africa to produce because they can’t produce enough gallium and bauxite for themselves with their small deposits:
https://www.forbes.com/sites/saleemali/2023/08/15/sourcing-gallium-for-american-semiconductor-supremacy/
>56% of Chinese bauxite comes from Guinea
And that’s just one of the countries China has mineral stakes in.

China

You need microprocessors and AI to run these drones, and currently no one place is capable of producing them alone. If the global system stops then the meme of drone warfare is dead in its tracks.
However the US absolutely could build chip manufacturing facilities and low skill base manufacturing/assembly facilities very quickly and easily.

Why haven’t they done it? Contrary to political discourse and retarded popular view the US used to manufacture all their own stuff until the kikes running the businesses realized they could offshore the production to poor countries like Taiwan and pay a quarter of the labor cost. However chips ARE still manufactured in the US for DoD products, in Huntsville AL for example, and all that is required is ISO 3 clean rooms (easily built with funding) and UPW systems (easily built with funding)
As to base manufacturing you only need 3 phase power, a warehouse, and some mills. All easily attainable with funding.
>but muh equipment to manufacture
So you think only Taiwanese and China have access to that equipment even though these chips are designed and manufactured in the US currently? It’s all political bullshit to piss off China and save kikes money on production.
So in the unlikely case that drone warfare is not a meme it will either

A) End abruptly with the end of the global supply chain
or
B) The US will just dominate production

I would lean towards A because I don’t believe the greedy kikes running the show have any foresight.
The only reason we don’t do this ourselves is because some jew would seethe uncontrollably if White guys had jobs that paid well. It’s literally all because of jews.

Your choice of words is unhelpful. Either use the word properly (start with Plato) or just use a different word. I don't know who the hell taught all of you that "demons" was an appropriate designation, but it's incorrect.
Even then, if it is such a negative experience, maybe it's because all of you keep trying to kill them. Oddly, none of you seem to think of not doing that for some fucking reason.
