between this and the pigeon guided bomb, animals have a lot to be thankful for that the military-industrial complex scientists managed to fit in radar, radio-control, laser, etc. into bombs

...except if they were in the vicinity of exploding bombs.

reminds me of the rat one. idk if it's just internet myth about the peanut butter and rats related to bombs.
Mark (CG)
the what checks
pansikoser
no. dude. istg i saw that info before about some guy using peanut butter or something with the rats. ALTHOUGH it could be some skit online. but it's a prominent vague memory whenever animals and war is mentioned in one context

Explosive rat - Wikipedia
only thing i googled was apparently the British SOE (basically the real life inspiration for James Bond) thought about using bombs inside dead rats to sneak behind enemy lines (LOL)

Anti-tank dog - Wikipedia
oh damn I forgot about the anti-tank dog
pansikoser
NOOOOOOOOOOOO dogs and anti-tank?!?!?
Mark (CG)
yeah the soviets were like "what if we strap a bomb on a dog and teach it to run under tanks"
pansikoser
why is it the ussr half the culprit for these war facts we really didn't need oTL

In fairness to them, they were in a war of extermination where if they lose they get genocided, so they did have incentives to think up anything crazy that can stop the Germans
Mark (CG)
They did tend to stop once they figured out it wasn't effective, at least. Like with the dogs.
The Nazis, on the other hand :v
pansikoser
it just feels like Nazi's rolled so many pulls in a gacha banner, and just didn't care if they had too much shit in hand just as long as they got soo much hits.

ohgohd a gacha reference

I mean you're not wrong. Every move they did in WW2 was essentially a gamble and they knew the odds were against them but they were too Nazi to give up
pansikoser
nowadays, you'd be spike by some schnitzel or something for saying too Nazi. it's neo Nazi now!!!! thank god all they did are petty hate crimes, they're still massive aholes

It's funny that someone used AI to translate Hitler speeches into English and have "him" say it in English and everyone noticed that they sound way too similar to Trump speeches (LOL)

Don't look at the comments section though

... not even going to bother > . >
the only hitler speech i know was Charlie Chaplin's version

Mark (CG) : Way to coherent compared to Trump. (LOL)
But the content is scarily similar to that of populist politicians not just in the US, but in Europe.
Mark (CG)
Yeah it's more the content and how similar the rhetoric is if you replace jews with migrants, and whatnot
Faramond
Mark (CG) : seems like those people had relied on the same rhetoric. it's just sad that today's conditions, and political climate has been conducive to such rhetoric.
Mark (CG)
I mean it's one of those things that has always been effective. Us vs Them is a classic (LOL)
Shimarin
but what if we could biologically engineer a cat that wouldn't pass out during a drop? would that bring the project back up? (LOL)
they could add a sort of propulsion on their legs so they could steer it towards the ship. xD

Check out Staff Sergeant Reckless, the super horse who retired alive.

She served in numerous combat actions during the Korean War, carrying supplies and ammunition, and was also used to evacuate wounded. Learning each supply route after only a couple of trips, she often traveled to deliver supplies to the troops on her own, without benefit of a handler.

The highlight of her nine-month military career came in late March 1953 during the Battle for Outpost Vegas when, in a single day, she made 51 solo trips to resupply multiple front line units.
