Why do these guys look so sad?

>>33880227
Because Moby-Dick raped them

>>33880227
Operating is a dirty job and the rewards are minimal.

>>33880215
Because the liberals who have been running this country into the ground since most of us were born have been siphoning off money from the military like a leech for dem programs. If the government cut all nasa funding what makes you think the military has money for anything at all, hopefully well get alot of new equipment while trump is in office / before the left wins the next election.

What

What the fuck.

What in the actual fucking fuck are you talking about there won't be another election due to the impending nuclear war.

>DOD issues ACH
>is heavy and strains on the neck
>material isn't even that fucking strong compared to some modern plastics
>total cost is around 200$
>SF stroll around Afghanistan wearing some cheapo skateboard headgear that probably cost 30 bucks
>just as durable as the ACH, if not more
>light weight
This fucking stupid, get rid of the ACH NOW!!!!!!!!

USSOCOM hasn't rolled with bump helmets for about a decade, dude.

then what the hell is this

>>33880396

Jesus Neverserving Christ. You know that ACH/MICH will stop frag, right? A bike helmet will not. Do you know why SF started wearing bike helmets? Or why they stopped?

>You know that ACH/MICH will stop frag, right?
This is hilarious false.
Holy shit im fucking dying.

I think he means the old school skate board ones and FAST helmets have IIIA protection.

>>33880445

It's level IIIA.

>>33880445
The best of both worlds my friend

>>33880445
As good as it is, it won't gonna replace traditional pasgt-like helmet

>>33880456
If you like dying so much why don't you kill yourself already?

>>33880396
You do realize the ops core they're wearing is actually pretty fucking expensive right?

>>33880663
Its only expensive because of redtape involved with supplying troops.

And even still, its nowhere as expensive as fucking the ACH

>he thinks a level IIIA helmet (that will stop .44 magnum) wont stop fragmentation
>>33880676
>he thinks an opscore helmet ($1200+) costs less than an ACH
>>33880445
>he thinks a ballistic helmet and a bump helmet are the same thing

>>33880698
shut the FRICK up i know what the frick im talking about.

>>33880676
An ACH cost somewhere around $400. An Ops Core cost over $1000.

It's got nothing to do with red tape.
