Of course, you probably shot a GWO soldier through his OED if you dropped him in a single shot.


Ah, yes. Well, that would explain how relaxed you seemed about the whole thing.

For my curiosity's sake, an OED is...?

im not saying our soldiers are under equipped, far from that. They are imparted with loKi's ever-changing might, they can jump as well as a flea, smell and hear better then any wolf, see more clearly then the greatest bird of prey, but most of all they do not fear death. They embody it, so saying they could be killed by something as benign as a bayonet, which im assuming the enemy has to get quite close to use.(unless its a rocket propelled one...) Is beyond the scope of normal human idiocy.

Besides guns and ammo and standard issue supplies

Imperial Army
A ceremonial weapon which has been passed down for centuries (generally a knife or pistol).
Nothing else

National Army
250 pounds (money)
several stink bombs
a flask labeled whiskey that is really filled with piss
A metal bottle labeled piss that is filled with whiskey (yes, they hope that whoever loots them ends up drinking the flask labeled whiskey and throwing out the real whiskey)
Several pornographic magazines
A box of cookies
Chewing gum
Cigarettes
A box labeled cocaine with a mix of cocaine and ground up fiberglass
Some piano wire
A lawn chair
A metal rod (officers only)
Lots of looted watches, pistols, and other small valuable things
A dozen stink bombs
Some fireworks
A can labeled "best food ever" with some crap inside (literally, not figuratively)

To sum it up, my Imperial Army has nothing personal, my National Army is made up of people with the development level of high school boys, but with some intention of killing whoever loots them.

An Optical Enhancement Device. It's a head-mounted PDA mixed with thermal/NVGs, essentially. It displays real-time orders given to their unit (size can vary) from the folks working TAC-COM in BattleNet, making the soldier fully networked with the rest of the military. Soldiers cannot access orders for other units, only ones that apply to them. It also registers (via neck-mounted EKG electrodes) and transmits (via hookup with the soldier's telecommunications) the soldier's status (i.e. if he's critically injured, catatonic, dead, etc) to his commanders, who can pull up windows containing such. The OED is USB-compatible, and updates can be downloaded onto it (the most famous being a live GPS, if available, of the area immediately around the user)- this USB feature also makes the OED compatible with roll-up keyboards and wireless mouses, which field officers carry in their backpacks.

The OED also is an image intensifier. Should this be enabled, it brightens the picture as much as it is set to do so, though if there is absolutely no light (which means NVGs wouldn't work), the "lens glow" can be turned on to provide enough light for it to work. It also has two thermal imaging modes, one is raw, and the other is "Advanced," meaning that the OED's computer calculates the dissipation of heat from sources and draws a line around the object (i.e. a person), and it has the capability to filter through walls, to a certain degree varying on climate.

Oh, and the OED is designed to work directly to the eyes or to the MIPGM-49 gas mask, which was designed to work optimally with the OED.

EDIT: And personal notes (remember to reload! :D -note to self), and laser designator hookups, and friend-or-foe systems for vehicles, as the GWO's vehicles all emit a signal on a specific frequency to identify them to friendly forces, and...

I served in Iraq and I happened to have a wallet with credit card, driver's licence and cash on me at all times while I was there. I've had these things on my person ever since highschool. So I guess you could loot these things from a dead soldier. Soldiers also tend to carry photographs, religious items, good luck charms as well.

Almost anything. Since there is no "contraband" in Mediterreania, soldiers have easy access to whatever their commander-elect hasn't thrown out.
Quick and dirty guide to factions in Mediterranea, and puppets to serve as examples:
-Free Assembly - decentralized group of local associations. Main faction.
-Workers' Republic - anarcho-syndicalist commune
-República Morsica (Betico)
-Republic of Lusca
-Catholic State (The Archbishop of Siraucsa)

Just because there's a war on is no excuse for littering, so we do try to take all our corpses away. We are, after all, committed to sustainability in the death and explosions industry. Nobody can say that the Aezak Armed Forces aren't environmentally-conscious (well, not twice, at any rate).

There's a dead man's switch in all grips of their guns, wired to several explosives within the armor. This ensures no soldier lacks on his job or gets out of the service. -ever-

In all reality, the basic soldier carries his gun, armor, no dead man's switch, ammo, food, the dirty pictures of his girlfriend, and the nagging thought that his civilian boss is probably doing her right now. Also, gum is usually standard amongst the men, don't know why it's popular.

It's SOP to take all reasonable actions to prevent the corpse of fallen NYNJ military personnel from being left to enemy hands. In the event that a situation arises where the corpse cannot be moved (e.g. battle conditions prohibit) it is SOP to take all reasonable actions to remove all I.D., equipment and personal items from the corpse. However, if the above SOP's could not be carried out you may find their rifle (most commonly HK 416/417 or SCAR-L/H), ammunition, optical equipment, a side arm if they are the rank of an NCO or higher, frag grenade, communication equipment, map, I.D. tags, writing implement, compass, MRE's, canteen, weapon cleaning kit, uniform, helmet, flashlight, watch, personal items (most commonly a wallet, wedding band, photos, MP3 player, cell phone, camera, books) etc.

If we have equal brain mass how are we pitiful? Also, intelligence has more to do with the overall mass to brain mass ratio rather than just brain mass, hence the sperm whale not being a sentient species capable of FTL travel and anti-gravity so they can have mechas.
