Except for you know, the explosive part.

Hey, the Danes have been warring since your nation crawled out of Britains diaper. We just went into the 'pleasant society to live in' business since.

It worked well when the enemy, if I remember my history correctly, was suffering from materiel and manpower shortages.

They didn't really look at the statistics of what they were doing, like sure you use a couple fighters to take out a ship, but the loss of the pilots were irreplacable experience, making your forces less effective
Same goes with their no surrender no retreat attitude, you loose generals and commanders that provide experience that nobody else had. Imagine if macarther had stayed and fought to death in the Philippines, the US would have been without a great general and the experience he brought to the table
Dunno, MacArthur was kind of a prick when it came to Korea and is one of the reasons why the Norks exist

He didn't exactly appreciate the danger that nukes would unleash, instead he treated them like big bombs, but he's not responsible for north korea, he wanted to push all the way to the Chinese boarder and almost did. He got sacked because he took to blaming Truman for the Chinese pushing him back, which is a no as far as being a general goes, and he was being pitched to run for president, which gave Truman no choice but to sack him

There is no discussion, and no excuse for your militaristic, illegal occupation of ancient Danish lands.

barrier troops did exist, but mainly to keep the penal troops from retreating, since these were men pretty much sentenced to death, and often commanded by poor or disgraced leaders, they did have to have some prodding, but ya they most likely didn't shoot people in the back on purpose, more likely they would shoot over their heads for order
blocking troops became less and less important as the soviet union started pushing back against the germans though, and prisoners were becoming more useful elsewhere such as factories as the threat wasn't as great

K.L.E.O. the fully independent small business owner always cracks me up, the idea of a murderbot deciding its going to accomplish those goals better by selling the weapons instead of just murdering with its own weapons, then top it off with the personality, its a gem

no the ed-209 is the ford pinto of military robots, its flashy, can do some cool tricks, but when you look under the body its full of shortcuts and hackjobs to get it to sell
[QUOTE=M.Ciaster;49745962]they also look like they were made out of whatever was laying around the shop
someone probably went 'andrzej we need a grenade launcher comrade' and the guy was all 'can do', this is generally the way we achieve things over here[/QUOTE]
The real question though is: are they any good?
If they're reliable, durable and good at killing shit, I think we can overlook the fact that they look like they're made out of a scrapped toyota hilux.

absolutely mandatory to play this at the same time

When you pronounce FAL, do you say eff ayy el, pal except with an F, or fall?
rate informative for eff ayy el
rate friendly for pal but with an F
rate useful for fall
you say fal and that's all there is to it
I think eff ayy el comes from being Austrlaian and knowing of it as the Ess El Ar.
what the fuck, are there people who actually call it the "fall"????
[QUOTE=Timebomb575;49764419]what the fuck, are there people who actually call it the "fall"????[/QUOTE]
Why is that surprising? Different people speak differently, and I can easily imagine that being natural for some.
I pronounce it as "Faal" or "Fahl"
I pronounce "FAL" like "F A L" ("eff ayy el").
even though Norwegian is my mother-tongue, I use and hear English much more, so it 'rules over' my mother-tongue.
