    He makes a good point, I dont expect anyone that big to be effective in a martial situation.

        Your picture is one of the most appetizing examples from that set. Should’ve used one of the pictures featuring a serving of “wet, gray slab of dubiously edible matter.”

        As with everything in this country: It isn’t that they can’t, it’s that they don’t want to.

          Actually, with regards to the USS Abraham Lincoln, they actually can’t. They’ve mismanaged this war so poorly that they can’t actually accomplish the single most basic part of military management: logistics. Genghis Khan knew that he had to maintain supply lines to win wars. Julius Caesar knew it. Alexander the Great. Cyrus the Great. Chandragupta. Sun Tzu knew it. It’s the most basic, most obvious part of leading a military, and they failed at it so hard that sailors are jumping off of boats.

            WE DON’T NEED SUPPLIES! WE NEED MORE BULLETS AND MISSILES AND TESTOSTERONE!!!

            Tell me again why this isn’t a winning strategy? I see no flaws.

            Well of course Caesar, Alexander, Cyrus, Ghengis, etc knew about logistics, which is why their names echo through the eons, but what about everyone’s constantly hammered uncle?

              I really more meant that this has been common knowledge amongst military people for literally three millennia, not that you have to be a generational talent to figure it out, but that is a fair point.

        Going have to give us soldiers speed or something as they won’t have the energy otherwise to fight living off the tripe they are being fed.

    Feety Pete over here thinks every member of your military needs to be a hulked out berserker. Dude has no idea what logistics is. He thinks warfare is like a DBZ episode and if you scream the loudest with the biggest muscles you’ll win
