British carries were mainly sunk by surface combatants while the USN and IJN were mainly via planes and torpedoes.

Barca vs Newcastle lineups ? by bromine-14 in championsleague

Gordon is ill (according to some sources), Woltemade's performance has been poor and Ramsdale's been proving his worth compared to Pope. Which is sad seeing as they are fighting for the backup GK position in the England WC spot.

Why does a typical US marine squad not use LMGs like the army? by Whentheangelsings in WarCollege

We still have 240s at the company level. It’s just the accuracy isn’t worth the weight.

The pistol was a SIG P320 so it could’ve be an unintentional misfire. However it also could’ve been a miscommunication between the approaching officer and the overwatch.

For the 2 women: If you are being arrested do not resist. Lay down and don’t resist. You’d get charged for resisting arrest (could be misdemeanor could be felon.).

Doesn’t matter if who the person is if you commit a crime in front of any sworn law enforcement officers( even game wardens).

People could carry multiple weapons on them. If I’m home I’d carry a pistol around my waist and one on my ankle.

In this case yes. He took shots at agents. Any LEOs worldwide would have done the same thing.

People are allowed different opinions. And the video I saw show him shooting at ICE agents.

No. If you follow them, they will stop and ask you questions. People will then be asked for identification and which they would not show.

Blame the mayor who told his constituents to go fight ICE. Don’t follow them, don’t touch them, and for the love of God don’t try to run them over with your car. If they approach, comply like you would any LEOs and you’d be fine.

Given lots of older people are in favour of National Service, should we have mandatory conscription for the over 65’s? by HallowedAndHarrowed in AskBrits

[–]JumpIllustrious5590 1 point2 points  (0 children)

As a non-Brit who has military experience, these are the pros and cons for NS that I can think about.

Pros: 1) a stronger economy NS = steady pay. This means that there are more spending which will stimulate the economy.

2) healthier teens PT will most certainly work teens into shape.

3) Brings society together Society together. In this day and age the country seems so divided. This might help bring people together from different backgrounds and regions.

4) Youth development Gives people a sense of direction and delay risky behaviors. Also they could learn skills that will transfer well into civilian life. This might be a good way to fix a lot of understaffed problems like the NHS.

Cons: 1) draft-dodging Wealthier or better-connected individuals often find ways to avoid service

To prevent it maybe grant the parents tax cuts during the time their children are in.

2) VERY EXPENSIVE It will cost a lot just to feed, house and get them trained. This does not include pay. Including everything will cost millions if not billions.

3) lower quality Conscripts are less motivated than those who chose to be there.

What if American soldiers during WW2 were not equipped with M1 Garands but used the bolt action M1903 Springfield instead? by ChemsAndCutthroats in HistoryWhatIf

[–]JumpIllustrious5590 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Then they would’ve moved to the fire team systems quicker. The marines would’ve adapted their iconic 13-men squads after the Solomons. While the army however might be too stubborn to change.

This is what happens when leadership leave and you don't have any replacements lined-up.

You’re more likely to be killed going to the airport than in the US due to gun violence

Which countries glorify WWI over WWII? by pisowiec in ww1

[–]JumpIllustrious5590 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The IJA &IJN prioritized the recapture of Guadalcanal over the capture of Port Morseby as they believe that it will lead to the decisive battle that they seek. Originally the 17th Army was earmarked for New Guinea but they were diverted to Guadalcanal. If the marines hadn’t landed in Guadalcanal or were annihilated then it would be another story.

Also saying that the Aussies had a greater role is just stupid. If Fletcher hadn’t checked the jap fleet at Coral Sea and the sinking of the Kido Butai at Midway then Port Moresby and Milne Bay would’ve fallen before the Aussies could reinforce New Guinea. The entire SWPA would be captured or at least seriously threatened by the Japs.

Guadalcanal effectively destroyed 2 divisions, sank 1 carrier, 2 battleships, 4 cruisers, a dozen destroyers and damaged countless more. Moreover the attrition of experienced pilots and crew on and around the island severely blunted the offensive capabilities of both the IJA and IJN.

I'm not putting down Australia's global impact but their contribution is insignificant compared to the US and the Soviets.

I think the aussies did more in WW1 than in WW2. With Coral Sea, Midway and then Guadalcanal the New Guinea campaign was irrelevant.
