Good stuff, you are surrounded by vets

so if you want a chat or anything just give us a shout

Oh okee

Quick question: do you guys think that airsoft simulated actual combat?

No

You carry way less weight for a start

Oh

Unless you and your unit get together to do it, to practice drills/tactics but then again you do that anyway in a non-airsoft environment

airsoft is purely for fun, keep it that way

Ah ok

I think I’ll stick to the fun part first I still got my IB diploma to finish 😂

One step at a time

Anyone else have a drill sergeant who threw firecrackers, fireworks into the barracks while everyone was sleeping so they be prepared for and be used to enemy artillery attacks/bombing runs

Threw firecrackers outside never in😆

I'm not talking about some small fireworks some of them used to shake the whole barracks

You are still here

Yeah

so it must of been good😅

I mean on the server @Luckay

Were the nukes in ww2 actually justified?

I just want to see you guys opinion on this

Japan was never going to surrender if America didn't nuke them twice

Yeah that’s what I thought too, they didn’t even intend to surrender after the second nuke too...

Until the emperor announced they were surrendering

They actually made so many purple heart medals for the planned air land and sea invasion of Japan they were still handing them out in the Iraq war

It was a smart move not nuking Tokyo though, they venerated the emperor like a god

They didnt plan on surrenderin, amd we didnt wanna risk the lives of millions of human lives trying to take Japan with human bodies. Was the most tactical solution out there

Sacrifice a few thousand to save the lives of millions

Now both cities and Japan itself are thriving

Yep

One poor guy survived both

worked in Hiroshima then gets sent home to Nagasaki, lived to 93

@KumquatLord
That was the plan for Operation Downfall

@Zilla the Japanese military was actually willing to use every able bodied man and woman to defend the home islands

Mhhm

Like even though they are severely depleted in terms of arms (the Americans surely have more advanced weapons at this point) Japanese troops when conscripted with the population would immensely outnumber the Americans

Mhm

Not to mention the terrain which they will fight in, suitable to guérilla warfare, thus prolonging the war and causing more casualties

Even an illequiped army can be dangerous when using their environment
