Why did you let yourself get fucked that hard? Is there something wrong with the pistol or ammo?

Well it is dirty dirty slav ammo and the bluing is absolutely ruined so I took off a big chunk for that. Still functions perfectly but looks like a burn victim.

>I cannot help but feel I have taken a rather large willy.

Well why the fuck would you sell it for that price? You have nobody to blame but yourself.

Pretty much just 2003 but with less city fighting, more armored brawling in the countryside, and a lot more bunker busting.

As in 2003, it would be great if we could achieve strategic surprise by disguising our buildup of forces as the normal rotation of forces on the border.

This would be significantly hampered relative to the war in 2003 by the fact that the US doesn't have all that many troops in Korea, and South Korea depends on reserves. It would also be hampered by the need to prepare the South Korean populace for a massive bombardment, which may include chemical or biological weapons.

Standard US doctrine is that if an enemy uses any form of NBC weapon against us, we reserve the right to bust out the canned sunshine. For the sake of keeping with the OP scenario, I assume the US doesn't do this, but if North Korea successfully deploys a nuclear weapon, there's really no stopping the rape train.

There is a real possibility that the North Koreans would realize what's going on at some point while the US is mustering forces, and launch a preemptive attack. After all, the preparations to retake Kuwait took six months of buildup.

If this is the case, the US would depend more aircraft from naval aviation and airbases in the region, and naval forces that could contain North Korean ships and submarines.

The South Koreans would have to do the bulk of the ground combat, because tanks can't ferry themselves across oceans to a new airbase, and armored divisions don't really have the effective range of bomber squadrons. There are Marine Expeditionary Units, airborne units, and special forces with a mandate to react quickly to events, but in a conventional war on the Korean peninsula, these might be marginal.

The ideal would be to have adequate combat engineering vehicles to clean the DMZ, and a huge number of strike sorties designed to clear out North Korean tunnel systems and cripple their (presumably rigid) command and control.

>Look at my top Generals / Admirals of the United States Armed Forces.

>"I want to crush North Korea"

>They're all shocked at this sudden outburst

>"Yeah, let's get it done, we're still technically at WAR right? It's just a cease fire, let's get a peace treaty".

I then hash it out that we want to crush them in under 3 months, total defeat, unconditional surrender.
I want it done so hard and fast that Russia & China have no time to respond in earnest.


So we get stuff sorted about, a year of prep time, and on July 4th, 2018, a massive wave of aircraft, ships, and men hit North Korea from the south and the east.

We throw 70% of the total US military complex at them.

RoE: None, get the job done.

The Airforce, Navy, and Marines form air dominance in the first hour.

B2's took off at night and rained JDAM targeted bunker busters on every artillery facility along the DMZ and hit every centralized command point.

The following aircraft (F-35's) smash the air defense systems and DPRK Air Force.
The next wave of B1B's, B52's, and more F-35's pound the ever living shit out of their standing army for the next two weeks straight.. no Army push until then except for AH-64E's hunting around the DMZ making sure no Norks cross that line.

Then the Army, who has been clearing minefields this whole time, begins its push north.
At the same time, Marines land on every beach along the Sea of Japan, backed up by 9 CBG's.

The Airborne is kept in reserve waiting for something to flare up.


I am then impeached and probably hung for war crimes, but whatever, it was worth it.

>>31217111
we crush them in about 2 weeks then have a decade of mission creep. I would it via a airborne operation coming in via the south east coast line with south korea. at the same time a amphibious landing in the north east of the country.

Sks or a m48, dont fall for the nugget meme. I own all 3 and shoot the nugget the least because of its god awful recoil and poor production. I cant tell you how many times that thing jams. Ive literally had to hammer it open a dozen times (yes I've removed all cosmoline and polished)

I'm thinking about maybe a mosin or sks

>>31217202
So, what is the m48 exactly?

>>31216981
Be/k/ause /k/omrade it is what it is

>>31216981
/k/ for Kill yourself

>>31216981
Because you can have /k/ommando /k/illing/k/ommie /kancer/.

Also because /w/ is anime/wallpaper for some reason.

Firearms exist.

There is a reason that armies don't use spears anymore

When I did basic- almost 6 years ago now- they made you buy brown underwear and use that. Everything else got locked up with your civilians.

No clue what they do now. It shouldn't matter if you bring them though, they should just lock it up.

By the time you hit AIT nobody will give a shit what underwear you have on.

Also Lawton is a shithole. Don't go out and by stupid shit because you have money, save it for your first duty station and by actual stuff. Like a car- a cheap car.

Lawton is shit, you will live in this shitty Vietnam era barracks, you're a fucking idiot for enlisting, etc.

You'll get a chance to once in reception to buy shit you'll need. Tighty tannies are terrible, but yourself some of the tan boxers. They'll save your shit on ruck marches

>>31216621
What the shit are you going off about? /k/ almost always gets it's autism triggered by it. Hell we had a thread not to long ago about how to fix it, or at least make it work.

>>31216691
I think its the same OP

>>31216691
Care to explain, I mustve missed that thread

>>31216570
You massively overpaid by like 4 times over.

That being said, I don't think anything wrong will happen to your gun, but don't count on it.

>>31216606
Really, there's people out there selling them for $112.50?

Ouch, $450?

This is great, exactly what I've been looking for in how to show Aegis works.

Thanks for making this, its going to be a great tool.

well, I am glad I could help! :)

Are you considering making a video on F35s?

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZtZNBkKdO5U (the guy who runs this channel also posts here, so he'd be able to give you answers to any question you'd have)

Always liked his vids. A very condensed, palatable, aesthetically pleasing package.

Not on the level of autistic detail some here might want, but they're nice little pieces all the same.

Wish he did less vidya stuff.

>>31216194
I like his videos. What's he doing next, after the FAL?

>>31216269
Thompson SMG.

a shitty picture

A collection of poorly focused pixels

German eagle on the handguard? Make better pic

>>31216089
>Would the bullet hit the barrel of the gun?
yes, it may even expand to engage the lands and grooves of the barrel's rifling

>>31216089
Have you attempted to understand even the very basics of how a firearm functions?

JFK. I'm a libertarian. JFK hands down.

Obama, clearly. Best gun salesman 2008-2016.

>>31215995

How was JFK a /k/ President?

US had nukes tho.

>>31215939
Yeah but if anyone can weather nukes and keep fighting, it's Russians.

>>31215925
Unlike the plains and steppes of eastern Europe, France and Italy had actual defendable terrain that couldn't be taken by throwing waves of men into a meatgrinder until the opposition ran out.

The west had the technological advantage, nukes, logistical advantage, and the manpower and production to actually back it up.

>>31215885
French Foreign Legion is the first an most obvious thing that comes to my mind

or you could try joining some PMC company, but you'd probably need some previous military service for that

>>31215885
