Anglos value pension machines more than survival.

Possibly because of their habitual island-ness.

America should have been Franco-Dutch-Scottish-Swedish instead of English.

Would be a much better country.

It was great until monetarism.

Is it any surprise that when monetarism became big, we dropped the Chieftain and started losing the Canadian Army Trophy? :roll:

All true White Men worship the Volkerwanderung as bringing civilization to a decadent and decrepit Euro-African failed state. Besides, they kept the bureaucracy intact before Eternal Enemy Eastern Orthodox Christians attacked. Thanks Byzantines for ruining Ostrogothic super empire.

The Scots and the Gaels are, unsurprisingly, British. (As are the Corns). This is why the Scots-Irish had names like Hood and Lee and Longstreet and Early and Ewell as well as names like McLaws and MacRae and Mahone and so on.

That's like saying Germans and French are European.

Just because it's true doesn't mean anything.

Free Scotland.

Britain would be better without the English. The entire English identity and language. Replace it with something better. Like Norwegian. Or French. Or PIE.

You say that, but we all know that if this was the case the Swedes of Nya Sverige would be locked in a never ending skirmish/war with the Dutch of Nieuw Nederland over who controls New York City.

On top of that the French of Louisiana would be funding both sides with their Scot allies.

How effective is regular ol' camouflage on Cold War and modern tanks? Not special high-tech stuff, I mean like wrapping the turret in camo netting.

Infantry probably won't spot them, but it's not just infantry and his Mk1 eyeball that's looking for them.

The USA is the foremost leader in communism.

The French would just make America an actual military. Swedes would give Americans creativity and bunkerstatism. The Dutch would give America a right to die in the Constitution. Scots would give America ingenuity. "Economic growth" be damned, build tanks and nuclear weapons.

:Mitterrand:

The greatest communist leader.

It's all a country needs, really. USA should be turning its education and healthcare systems into engines focused towards one end goal: producing the armed forces. Militaries are the end goals of civilizations. Mass the most important Principle of war, therefore the military should be the biggest it can be. USA could have like 100 divisions easily, but it is crippled by the Anglo-Saxon's innate cowardice, the craven fear that crippled the British Empire and made France and Germany powerful civilizations.

Just have a faceless council of IQ 150s direct the body politic towards weight training.

Where did the philosophy of 'PEACE NOT WAR' come from anyway? Whoever said education is a better safeguard of liberty than a standing army' obviously skipped history class more than once. Si vis pacem, 9mm parabellum.

If I had a choice in it I'd inflate our military numbers to the Soviets pre-Bagration

But we can't have nice things can we

Anglo shopkeepers.

It's about preparing for war, it's about removing individualism and submitting people to the being cogs in the machine of state.

If you're studying quantum physics or something, you should be field stripping a rifle blindfolded.

Both are useful, but remember armies have destroyed freedom at least as many times as they have saved it. Anyway, war is a stupid thing to get sentimental about.

So basically your desire is to transform the western hemisphere into Daleks?
Purpelia does not reflect my actual world views. In fact, the vast majority of Purpelian cannon is meant to shock and thus deliberately insane. I just like playing with the idea of a country of madmen utterly convinced that everyone else are the barbarians. So play along or not but don't ever think it's for real.

Can't I just take up tank gunnery? I average 70% accuracy on WoT (~80 on actual tanks)

Keeping it real, I have serious questions:

1. Is it possible to make a PTS-4 or similar vehicle carry a TEU (say by adding a TEU 'rail' setup on its back)?
2. Can one boost the PTS-4's capacity from 12 to 15 tons on dry land by installing a more powerful engine?
