Talking about military technology being implemented by the US Military which isn't public is treason.

Actually those so called 'idoits' gave you great advice which you ignored. I highly suggest you go read the stickies or view other RP's because I don't believe you can do your own thread. Also, that would be treason talking about sensitive information about the SEAL's and how they work regardless.

Emotions can turn the tide of battles with a single heroic act, help beat back even the strongest enemy. Emotions are what keeps us going in our hour of need. Hope, and trust in our friends. What Rathma did, he did because he had emotions, not because he had a lack of them"

OOC: I thank you for describing myself and everyone else who offered you sound and reasonable advice as "idiots." Clearly we, who have studied military tactics and equipment extensively, are apparently below you, who does not even know in which sub-forum to post this in.

Yes, because only idiots think that invisible MEGA FORTRESSZEIZ, air fields, and ships are impossible with current tech, as well as SAMs that can fly around the world multiple times, and EMP shells.

I would think that anyone who actually knew squat about classified military info wouldn't be dumb enough to post it here.

I generally avoid urban warfare, an simply focus on stuff that has actual strategical importance in a non-total war.

I don't. To my embaresment, I'm usually not committed enough to an RP to fight a full-scale war.

If I ever do fight one, however, I will try to tailor my tactics and strategy to the situation, and not follow one inflexible doctrine. And why anyone would emulate WW1 tactics is hard to grasp.
"Our progress in degeneracy appears to me to be pretty rapid. As a nation, we began by declaring that "all men are created equal." We now practically read it "all men are created equal, except negroes" When the Know-Nothings get control, it will read "all men are created equal, except negroes, and foreigners, and Catholics." When it comes to this I should prefer emigrating to some country where they make no pretence of loving liberty -- to Russia, for instance, where despotism can be taken pure, and without the base alloy of hypocracy." - President Abraham Lincoln.

'Guns', no. A supposed EMP weapon that's never been heard of by the public that you know about, and your father is in the military, potentially.

Not that we believed you, just disabusing you of your (false) notion of superiority.

Stop wanking and stop trying to impress rest of NS with your uber wankery military equipment.
It is obvious that you have no idea what are you talking about, so please read the stickies and go to Wikipedia to learn more about military equipment.

But cities are of strategic importance, or you can just flatten the cities.

Not necessarily. Cities are tactically important, but in the long run, unless the enemy has fortified a city, you can usually bypass it. The only truly strategic cities are the capitals of your enemy, since that's the head of government and often the head of the military.

But if you avoid cities, usually the enemy will be wimps and hide in the cities. Though it is very effective to lay siege till they surrender. :blink:
