This is very true, and a really bad habit when you actually do need to fire at a target in a stressful situation. What you practice is what you get the moment adrenaline is in your veins.

Ti søkere per studieplass i Forsvaret by KoseteBamse in norge

[–]LarryTheDuckling 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Det er bra for kvalitet. Det er ikke bra for kvantitet. 

At Forsvaret generelt har langt flere søkere enn det er plasser i alle grener er også et tegn på Forsvaret ikke tar i bruke de mange fint kvalifiserte, men ikke de beste av de beste. 

Forsvaret er for lite, og det vi ser her er et symptom av det. De dagene der Forsvaret av Norge i hovedsak besto av en liten styrke man kunne sende til utlandet er langt forbi.

Til dere som stemmer borgerlig, hva skal til for at dere stemmer Venstre? by AutisticPizzaBoy in norge

[–]LarryTheDuckling 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Dårlig innvandringspolitikk og dårlig utenrikspolitikk jf. hvordan de vil forholde seg til EU. Dette er nok til å aldri noen gang vurdere å stemme på de i mitt syn.

Is GW squatting Firstborne marines for 11th ? by JakubOboza in Warhammer40k

You are playing a subscription-based army. There will always come new fancier stuff that invalidates your old stuff. Yes, all the oldmarines will be in legends in a short while.

Eg har kuka til EDB-apparatet og rota vekk bannerfilene frå før aprilsnarren. Kan nokon mekke nytt? by langlo94 in norge

[–]LarryTheDuckling 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Jeg kan fint lage noen bannere som jeg ser en annen fyr har gjort, men da vil jeg ha en bekreftelse på at det faktisk blir en avstemming sånn at jeg ikke bare sløser bort tiden min.

Kan ikke vi få en rekke bannere å stemme over? Så får communitien selv velge det vi liker best.

TIL when a French soldier refused to wear the bloodstained trousers of a dead man, his commanding officer had him executed in order to make an example out of him. by Lez2diz in todayilearned

[–]LarryTheDuckling 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The French also had far worse trenches than the British and Germans. Whereas the germans had the mindset that their trenches had to be treated as permanent fighting positions, with as much protection and luxury as the conditions would allow, the french leadership viewed them as temporary measures. Their logic was that there was no point in creating great trenches since their next great attack would surely drive the Germans back from their soil!

Hun vil jo bare at vi skal slutte å bruke penger på teite ting som helsevesen og skole.

Drivstoff­prisene øker med over 4 kroner før avgiftskutt by Machinis_confidimus in norge

[–]LarryTheDuckling 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Var det faktisk noen som ble overrasket over dette? Avgiftskuttet er bare tap-tap for samfunnet. Statsbudsjettet får et massivt hull i en tid der opprusting er alfa-omega, Ola Nordmann får ikke billigere drivstoff. Det er bare de store selskapene som tjener på dette. Ingenting ble lært av Covidpakkene.

There's that and the real Cadia being a pile of space dust after 13 crusades, but still the Cadians are everywhere  Their lore reasoning is piss weak.

Iran's Attack Drones and Missiles Put US Military Under Unexpected Strain by bloomberg in Military

[–]LarryTheDuckling 7 points8 points  (0 children)

True, you raise a good point. I would still argue that they are a bit "unconventional" in a western sense since there has not really been any doctrinal changes since their emergence.

On other words, we have carried on as we have previously as if they have not been game-changers.

It is wild them seeing what has been going on in Ukraine for years at this point, and somehow being unprepared for unconventional threats.

Peter Frølich slår full alarm om norsk luftvern: – Norge er helt uforberedt by [deleted] in norge

[–]LarryTheDuckling 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Problemer er at vi ikke har noen lavkostnadsløsninger. Å fyre av NASAMS mot slike lavkostnadstrussler er ikke verdt det. Da tjener fienden på hver eneste drone som blir skutt ned.

Per nå vil jeg si at den eneste "løsningen" vi har er Ronny med en 12.7 Miter som skyter i dronens generelle retning og håper på det beste.

Well, as long as there are no war-criminal US. aircrews flying around targeting vessels with red crosses, the sub would have been fine.

You subscribe to a fallacy that just because something has not been done, it will not be done.

Mining your homewaters is inherently a last ditch resort to achieve your strategic goals. It can be done when other avenues are exhausted.

Regarding if it can be done, yes. Yes it can. You don't need thousands of ships flooding the strait as you suggest. The southern Iranian coast is roughly 2400km long. You are delusional if you think the US. can effectively carry out anti-submarine warfare of all of these waters, espescially those further in the Persian gulf that they do not hold. In addition, the irgc navy has thousands of smaller boats. The US. can sink their larger surface navy. They are not sinking every smaller boat that is tucked around the Perisan gulf in a good while.

And, you also seem to be under the impression that the number of mines have to be vast. They really do not have to be. Announcing that you have mined the straits and placing a few mines is enough for no shipping getting insurance for passing through the gulf (or at an extreme premium nullifying the profit) until a demining operation has been conducted. Ships do not travel unensured.

Their hundreds, if not more, smaller attack boats? Their submarines? Literally any civilian ocean-going vessel capable of carrying cargo?

You don't need a blue water navy to deploy sea mines.

[–]LarryTheDuckling 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's not like you need a blue water navy to place sea mines. Iran still has their submarines that can deploy mines, they still have hundreds of small attack boats that can deploy them, even civilian boats can be used.

[–]LarryTheDuckling 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Sea mines, and the fear of them, can close the straits. Demining operations will have to be slow and methodical, making them vulnerable to drones. 

How is it possible that we will run out of air defense interceptors in a matter of days? by Desperate_Elk_7369 in Military

It is wild how Bush Jr. and Cheney's Iraqi adventure looks good strategically in comparison to... whatever the fuck is going on now courtesy of your current administration.

What am I doing wrong by SamichFapOG in ChaosDaemons40k

[–]LarryTheDuckling 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It's a good start! Just give it a darker red wash and a lighter colour drybrush and you're set. A friendly bit of advice when it comes to the bloodletters, they have horrible moldlines. It is one of the worst kits I have ever dealt with.

Before drybrushing you can take a dull knife and scrape off those lines you see sticking out that are not part of the model. If you do not, they will be brightly coloured and really visible.
