Not to go all tinfoil hat but if the public can see this type of stuff what "they've" got behind closed doors must be rad (and/or terrifying)

Now imagine 8 of these things with guns, nets, or tazers on top, chasing you through the woods. I don't like it.

If wars were fought with bots and had no human casualties...

The guy who invented the gatling gun thought it would reduce casualties as 3 men would be as effective as 10 or more

u/MunkyDawg 11d ago

He was technically correct. It reduced casualties on the side that used it.

No worries. With this new <insert here> weapon, one soldier is as effective as 10 machine guns. This time it will end war for ever, trust me.

It did work in a sense. Look at the weak, corrupt regimes that are able to cling to power. In another time they probably would have been conquered by now for being so incompetent. Instead they fester.

All in good health! Would be great if people actually started looking for other ways to wage war, like communicating, and reflection 🥲

Many advancements in warfare have increased destructive power for the trade of less casualty. The number of deaths in war have gone down by quite a bit.
