Originally posted by ner vegas he also thinks Blackwater could've won Afghanistan for 5% of the upkeep cost of the US Military mission.
the guy makes some interesting points but he doesn't even touch on how mercenary armies would function in a peer or near-peer military encounter; every example they talk about is small groups of mercs with extreme fire superiority defeating retarded African militaries (in the Bush war, Rhodesian infantry kept finding rifles with the rear sight dialed to the max, to the point where you couldn't even call it direct fire. when they asked prisoners why, it was because they thought dialing it up 'made the bullets shoot harder').
he's basically just a capitalist, individualist America First kind of guy but more open to bands of mercenaries and pirates being accountable only to themselves… so long as they're 'the good guys'.
because this is what hes proposing his "company" for.
Originally posted by benny vader in the end, what you are and where you align wont matter, it only matters where the world will become :
and it will eventually become Capital-Feudalism. Mega MNCs, conglomerates, etc etc will eventually become our feudal lords protected by an army of lawyers and lobbyists (where applicable) line backed by a row of private security contractors for when pushes come to shoves.
Banks around the world will consolidate to become one mammoth bank that'll be our Lord of Banks. And so will all pharmaceuticals, big oils, food companies, telcos, armaments, and entertainment. They shall be our feudal lords with power and dominion over all of us.
Feudalism, of a capital kind, will be the future, irregardless of who and where you yourself align.
when every countries in the world are ruled by the same few banks and specialized coporations, peer or near-peer armed conflict would cease to happen because theres no longer a reason for corporations to spend that kind of money on that kind of adventure.
the only armed conflict that will arise will be armed conflict between different, competing zaibatshus for mineral extraction/production rights at home and abroad.
armed conflict where PMCs excel. -

Originally posted by infinityshock this is the end of kikes. for the last 4,000 years they were able to suppress their antics to a fairly successful degree. considering what has survived the millennia, imagine what is still hidden. with modern information retrieval and exchange technology its impossible for them to suppress what they had be able to in the past. now everyone will see what parasitical vermin they are and wipe them out. all of them.
no even remotely close. -

Originally posted by Donald Trump DVD9s were just dual layer DVDs, so they upped the size from 4.5GB to 9GB. I dunno what that'd be better.
Are you thinking of double sided DVDs? I think I may still have one of those. They could go up to 18GB.
the main difference between CD and DVD is where the data is stored.
on CD, the data is stored on a thin film of aluminum sputtered onto one side of a polycarbonat disc.
on DVD however, data is stored on a thin film of aluminum sputtered between 2 pieces of polycarbonate disc.
