Well, the Chinese military mostly uses Russian systems, which haven't advanced since the 90s, while American systems have been tested in combat for the last decade. Also, china has one, crappy aircraft carrier. The Chinese also would face a huge problem with mobilizing their army. Unless...

Well, while I agree with you on one hand, I can tell you that on the other, you're wrong. I don't drink because it's against the law. I've tried some booze and had a drunk escapade, but as someone who is under the legal age, I don't drink. People who are over 21 drink irresponsibly and for...

No, I mean that people commonly agree that (where I live) you shouldn't get fitshaced until you're 21. The law doesn't say anything about lack of education, that's the parents and schools job.

Perhaps the law is common sense, and that's why it's the law.

I've read up on him, white death and all that. He is an admirable killing machine, but he is not a good example of what Modern snipers are trying to accomplish. Snipers mostly do recon, denial of an area i.e. the commander wants to put in a COP and clears the area out, disruption of enemy...

But that is not vs actual humans, and still isn't how sniping works.

I think that if you are really talking about realism, and about what a sniper would and wouldn't do you should point out that they wouldn't be there at all, and complain about how a sniper and spotter seek to infiltrate an area slowly and stealthily, observe for a long period, and then, maybe...

I hate when the amateurs or rebels or underdogs beat the well trained, well funded, well disciplined and well armed cops/storm troopers/SWAT/Soldier types for no good reason. Or when movies so clearly fail to hire a military or police adviser. 9 times out of 10 any competent fighting force...

My First name comes from Brian Boru, a badass in his day because now Brian means brave, and my middle was the name of my dad's firefighter friend who died right before I was born.

I really don't care about my privacy. I used to be a very private person, and I used to hide myself a lot, but now, I don't care. Example, my uncommon last name is in my screen name. I think that others lack of knowledge about me almost makes privacy a myth. I am who I am, and in person I...

I happen to also have a poor metabolism, and I found that I need a lot of exercise to stay within an acceptable weight. tried eating healthy, and dieting, but alone it never worked. I think that if just eating healthy isn't working for you, you should figure out a work out plan. Don't start...

Not to the extent of the other posters, but a tad bit. My girlfriend of the time didn't cheat on me (that I know of), but was extremely dishonest, and lied more to cover it up. This caused me to get in a long disagreement with a good friend of mine. He eventually showed me I was wrong, but we...

I'm into my girlfriend: Well endowed, healthy weight, i.e. not fat not skinny, red hair, green eyes funny, conservative but certainly not a nut, accepting of my wierdness, nice, loving, and a joy to be around. In general? Running, shooting, waiting until I can join the Army, push ups till I...

Honestly, fear and resent are ok. The rest of the world doesn't need to like us. Until they do something about it, we will enjoy a unsustainable standard of living. If you are at a party, and there is a absolutely jacked man standing there being a dick and sticjing his nose into everybodies...

Well, I think you are marginalizing the U.S. economy. We can put tremendous pressure on other nations without using our military (Iran) Also, I think you are looking at the military wrong. While it is true that on the large scale, the American military is making and has made mistakes in Iraq and...
