The Godfather... In my pants!

Show of power.

You see, the chinese government relies on fear and power to control it's citizens.  How would it look to their citizens if they let a country they conquered go free beccause of protests and such?  How many more parts of china would follow that lead?

Like I said, this will lead to instability, and possibly a civil war.  The BEST thing we could do, is make a deal with whichever side is going to win for a place to launch an attack against North Korea.  That way, we could easily take down that crazy bastard in charge and dismantle their military.  Then, we re-unite North and South Korea and drop our peacekeeping force down.  I mean, you don't hear about it but a LARGE amount of North Korea hates the current government.  LEss then 10% of the country has power, water, and gas.  There is very little food becuase Noth Korea is mainly mountains, there are alot of problems.  I think that if we reunited North and south Korea, it would greatly benefit both sides.

Calling yourself america???


Haha j/k j/k

I'm pretty sure this will lead to the downfall of china.

I mean, once tibet starts uprisings they will eventually be successful.  Because the chinese censor so much, once stuff gets out, it will be difficult for them to cntrol which will lead to more uprisings and eventually a toppling of the government.  meow, heres the thing:

North Korea is protected by China.

IF China's government either topples, or has their miltiary distracted with stopping uprisings inside the country, NK will be basically defenseless from a northern attack.  ALL of their miltiary assets are designed to repel an invasion from SK and us.  If China is in lots of trouble, and we make a deal say:
We'll send you X amount of help if you give us this position to invade NK, they will probably accept.  Then, we could take out north Koreas army with less then 10% losses to our military force.  The ONLY advantage the NK have right meow is fixed artillary positions pointed south.

If I had to guess, I'd say that our government *might* throw some blackbook finances towards the rebels in china if they start to become successful because it would help us end the NK Reign of Terror.

Just  because it's classified doesn't mean it isn't there.

extremely advanced programming is needed to give a weapons system the ability to discriminate between friend or foe as well as a human warfighter discriminates. if such programming is not achieved and used, then robotic warfighters would threaten the political stability of the cause they fought for, what with the possibility for abuse of the power they represent in the field and warcrimes they may be inept to avoid.

it doesn't seem likely that the military would secretly bypass the development of such artificial consciences either, because of the potential political fallout from hiding something like that from the public.

so they have to make machines smart enough to kmeow right from wrong, and that will probably take a good deal of time.

I really can't go into how they work, but we do use them.  Mainly, as HMMWVs.

Just arrived today.

The return address is a toy company, but whoever bought it didn't want to be kmeown because I called them and they said they paid in cash for the shipment and the item, so no way to track.

Also, it's from new york...

Bioakky has been doing that recently.. But he cheats..

I noticed.  He makes a topic and uses a spambot to post the word "post" every few seconds.
It's gotta be a spambot becuase I've posted and then posted again as quickly as I could, and there is usually a PAGE inbetween.

Thats not very hard at all.
I partied so hard, my back BROKE.

They should incorporate a speaker that constantly pumps out "We Will Rock You" at max volume when on the battlefield.

;_; I weep at the thought of such awesome in one robot.

Currently, International Law Requires those of us going out into sector to blair the "AMERICA.... FUCK YEAH" song over our vehicle-speakers at least 5 times.

340 pounds, my DOD guy said that will be the following:

50 lbs armor
100 lbs of batteries
sweeper shotgun
laser designator
optional M240 add-on(or other AR)
2mm cannons
15 lbs high explosive for self destruct in event of capture

Hmm I think your DoD guy is doing it wrong

We NEVER self-destruct equipment like that.
I mean, 15 lbs of HE could take out probably close to half a block.

Additionally, The armor they would put onto it would either be plates or SSA (Sound supression Armor) which would make the annoying buzz a minimal so that hostiles don't hear it coming.  Also, I don't think that 50lbs would be enough armor to do anything.  I mean, my FLAK vest plates were 35lbs total, and that only covered about a 2 foot area.  They obviously have a LOT of work before it can be armored.

Batteries I'm not sure of

I DOUBT they would put a sweeper shotgun on it because there would be NO REASON for one that powerful when a simple SPAS-12 at the MOST would work

Laser Designators can't be operated by robots because you need to communicate via radio with your command group.  The designator only gives you the grid and guides the bomb.  It doesn't give you the payload, situtation, ETC
2mm cannons= USELESS (A 9mm pistol is standard issue, and a BB is 4.5mm).  A 2mm cannon wouldn't cost to much to maintain because seperate ammo would need to be shipped JUST for it.

And, we NEVER incorporate a self-destruct like that.  The largest self-destruct mechanism we use is 1/5thlbs of C4 and that is on the predator UAV.
