Dustin said “Wowzers”… I have to agree with that astute assessment of this situation:
For real FN? You gonna do the FNX Tactical dirty like that? It’s supposed to be for operators! That could be the difference between life or death on a mag change in a high stress situation.
Royal Nonesuch in the kitchen cooking with the wri-wri-wri-wri:
That shroom polo is v-rare too. I’m really surprised those screws and bolts are flying so nicely.
Royal nonesuch sees hex heads in everything. You could show the guy a piece of burnt toast and he’d see Jesus holding a hex bolt in it.
That picture of royal nonesuch in the Hawaiian shirt makes me laugh every time. I have a few good ones I use for him, but that has been my go-to lately.
Looks like good times. That 2nd tank sure hit the water fast; that was awesome!
Two types or races… and individual race and a relay race. Seeing tanks shoot at targets all day, such as other tanks and a helicopter would be great. More info on the Tank Biathlon on this Russian military website.
The couple tanks I’ve been inside were very uncomfortable / bare bones looking. When I saw that roll happen I was thinking “I sure hope they are strapped in well”. Smashing your head against the steel tank interior wouldn’t be a good time.
Remember Tank? That was some of that – light some candles, make your girl a nice meal, and give her a massage to show how much you appreciate her type shit. Oh well I’ll just listen to Tank for the rest of the night by myself now, and eat cheetos to ease the pain. #ForeverAlone
VICE interviews Brandon Bryant about his time as a drone pilot:
I’m can’t say I’m surprised that not everyone is enthusiastic about the drone program. I don’t feel like I really have enough information to have more than a gut reaction to what I see.. but in my opinion if flying using an unmanned aerial vehicle to kill bad people is saving the lives of good people (with minimal collateral damage) then it seems like a good idea. It’s not like any type of war is clean. Sending ground troops in will result in lives lost on both sides and innocent people getting killed as well.
Drones are one of those things where you really can’t quantify the amount of lives saved… there is definitely more accurate number regarding lives taken, so that of course is what gets dwelled on.
