Can’t wait for the Tankies to start flooding in with their mental gymnastics. Either that or they’ll just call you “evil liberal” lol.

Aleric,

I feel like the tankies have become the boogeymen of lemmy. I haven’t seen a real one in ages, just people talking about how they’re coming… Any day now…

MBM,

lemmy.world defederated from them, so that might be part of it

Oh that’s because hexbear and lemmygrad got fucking defederated. Used to be worse before

meant2live218,

I think it’s due to lemmy.world defederating from some of the louder instances that I’ve seen way less content of that nature. Not 0 of it, but at least it’s not shouting over the top of every single post I see while browsing the All Communities list.

TimeNaan,

Ah, yes, us army is cool and awesome, not a weapon of global imperialism at all.

jozep,

I agree with you but one has to acknowledge the proficiency of the US Army. The sheer amount of equipment they have coupled to the good training and 1st class logistics makes it a force the Russian army would not be able to recon with.

Shit the Afghanistan war cost them $300 million per DAY for 20 years. No one else can do imperialism as good as the US Army.

SCB,

Ah, yes, us army is cool and awesome, not a weapon of global imperialism at all.

This but unironically.

TimeNaan,

It can only be unironic if you don’t understand history or geopolitics.

The US army is very good at logistics, which doesn’t make them cool. It does make them awesome in the literal sense, and unfortunately makes them a very effective tool of global imperialism.

Deiv,

Why would a Canadian say that?

misophist,

There are lots of tankies in the West. I interpreted the use of the Canadian flag in the comic to just indicate that it was one of those over-enthusiastic tankaboos rather than an actual Russian defending their own military strength. It could have just as easily been a US or Euro flag to get the point across. I don’t think it’s a commentary on Canadians specifically.

Wood is a fantastic material in compression. It could handle a few burger kings worth of force simultaneously.

limelight79,

That’s quite the imperial measuring system.

(I kid, I’m from the US. But the joke was right there, just waiting.)

I see they’ve weaponized saturated fat and brought “have it your way” to the battlefield. What kind of monsters could deploy this weapon of mass consumption and watch the long agonizing deaths that followed?

VulKendov, to memes in Highly suspicious if you ask me

It was Moses that called for an air drop of food, Jesus just kinda fed people with a few loaves of bread and a couple of fish.

MacNCheezus,
@MacNCheezus@lemmy.today avatar

True, true.

“Destroyed local economy by flooding the market with an oversupply of free bread and fish”, how does that sound?

“The line between disorder and order lies in logistics Burger King.”

Cipher22, to memes in Weapons of Gas Production

This should legitimately scare every other military force, considering conflict with the US. Logistics, possibly better than fueling a convoy to Kiev.

It makes sense. A military is only as good as its logistics, and the US’ forward bases are the tips of very long spears, dependant on a lot of logistics. So you need to have the means to have a continuous pipeline of supplies to each outpost. In peacetime, you keep that open by supplying the troops with burgers, tacos, XBox games or whatever; if the shit does hit the fan, all that capacity can be diverted from tortillas and patties to ammunition, drones, amphibious landing craft or whatever, at short notice.

ZapBeebz_,

Knowing the US military Logistics, that won’t be a diversion; it’ll be an addition. A friendly reminder that we deployed Fucking ice cream barges, barges with the singular purpose of making ice cream, to the South Pacific during WW2.

Supposedly a Japanese POW saw the barges, and knew at that moment that the war was lost, as the US could afford to supply servicemembers with ice cream, while Japan was facing widespread rationing and food shortages at home. (But I can’t find any confirmation of this story)

Pringles,

There is the same story about a German officer realizing that after discovering US soldiers had chocolate bars on them.

LifeInMultipleChoice,

Believe Napoleon was the one quoted for An army marches on its stomach.

It isn’t all about calories but also morale as they knew then.

eclectic_electron,

An army marches on its feet and fights on its stomach. Good boots and good rations win wars.

(Since modern armies maneuver in vehicles more than by foot you can replace boots with vehicles but the core concept still holds)

Not to forget, he confiscated means of transportation.

Go your way into the village over against you: and as soon as ye be entered into it, ye shall find a colt tied, whereon never man sat; loose him, and bring him.

And if any man say unto you, Why do ye this? say ye that the Lord hath need of him; and straightway he will send him hither.
