I would say that’s the end goal. Destabilize society enough to justify a stronger police state. Again, suffering is the goal for everybody that isn’t them. They aren’t looking to make the average American’s life better, just their donors and their own.
From experience, you’re not wrong. Let’s be honest, being a service member doesn’t separate them from their faults as humans. You take an undereducated kid from Mississippi and make him a Soldier, they’re still that undereducated kid with no critical reasoning skills.
The cage is supposed to detonate the heat round (which both the rpg and javelin have to some extent) prior to impacting the actual armor. There’s usually a shaped charge in the round and a stand off with the primer in it that ignites the round at the convergence point of the shaped charge. If you set that off prior to the round hitting the armor it’ll just splatter against the armor rather than penetrate it. Some weapons have a tandem charge, that has two shaped charges to help it get through ERA or I imagine cope cages.
Man, those guys are good. Looks like they line up a perfect shot to hit where the turret joins the hull.
I’m a product of the Idaho education system, and it’s not great. Luckily got a start in Washington, so it didn’t ruin me completely. But that result does not surprise me at all.
Stop threatening and do it. If it was anybody else it would have already happened. It’s theater at this point.
Fucking, HOW!?
