Its like a fantasy, as if death didnt matter anyway.<span id='postcolor'> Since death is about the definition of war, can you really take it away? And I really dont think that OFP let us experiece war at all as you stated in the first post. You dont experience anything else than tactical thinking and aiming. You take away essetial parts like war-psycosis, moral, stench, depression, freezing, shouting, agression, exhaustion, blood, weight, dampness, disgusting underwear, hunger, orders, abuse, collectivity, death............... The ideal situation IS fantasy; computer games & paintball etc... Sorry if I made it to serious, I assume you have not made military service, or? Most people who have, got a hard time combining the word 'ideal' with real military I recon. What I mean is probably that it would have been better if you asked 'What would be your ideal position in a complete computergame' Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Tex -USMC- 0 Posted April 25, 2002 Me? I'd want to be a snake pilot... or maybe a crate pilot in a SOAR... or maybe in the airborne... cant decide... but if its a fantasy Ill be 'guarding' the nurses station Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

advocatexxx 0 Posted April 25, 2002 Infantry. I would love being an attack helicopter pilot, or the commander of the Abrams, but in the end, all I really want to be is an infantry man. Quite possibly because it's very natural. You don't have computerized equipment worth millions of dollars to help you acquire and engage your target. Just a man, and his gun. The way it's been done for centuries eversince the gunpowder was invented. So yes sir ! Give me my M16 and a helmet and off I go. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Aculaud 0 Posted April 25, 2002 Not so fast, sargeant! This is a fantasy, so you will at least take an M203 on that. Wouldnt want to be completely without explosives, would you? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Grey Fox 0 Posted April 25, 2002 How 'bout a six barreled, 7.62mm, 6,000 r.p.m. gattling gun with infinite ammo. And don't forget that impenetrible kevlar and human shields! And if all else fails try running it over with an HMMWV. Remember when in doubt, empty the magazine! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
advocatexxx 0 Posted April 25, 2002 LOL! Reminds me of a movie I just saw (well, just the ending). Some stupid Chuck Norris flick, where he fires the AK47 in full auto mode for about 5 minutes, turning a whole enemy camp upside down. A process in which he kills about 100 Vietnamese. I mean these guys come running up to him like some dim witted alcoholics, not making a single attempt at shooting him. And in the end they play a sentimental song and show the American flag waving in the air. Is Hollywood pathetic or what ? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Wreck-It 0 Posted April 25, 2002 Hollywood has ALWAYS been pathetic. Do you remember Jerry Lewis? Elvis movies... 3 Stooges... Enough... now i've got to puke. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jester983 0 Posted April 25, 2002 LOL Was the movie called Delta Force or something? Ive seen most of the Delta Force movies (ones without chuck norris) some are chessier than others. For example: Delta Force is supposed to be inserted at the LZ. Well on the way there a MI-17 starts to go after them. Well Delta Force is in civilian helicopters (bell jet ranger) with no fire power (stingers and what not) and are forced to shoot the thing down with their primarys. They do finally get it but it was quite chessy how they got it. You cant really blame them though because these things were made in like late 80s early 90s so technogoly wasnt like it is today.

advocatexxx 0 Posted April 25, 2002 Now there you go picking on Elvis again. Would ya leave the guy alone ? Though I do agree on 3 stooges. I remember my history teacher back in junior high was obsessed with them. Bastard made us watch it in classroom as part of the American cinematography. Freak had a whole bunch of posters on the classroom walls and such. I sometimes catch them on TV Land and such, but I never get it. I mean you have these 3 men in their thirties always smacking each other. What the fuck is funny about that ? What's really pathetic is that writers who do screenplays for such dumb witted movies get paid lots of money. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Tex -USMC- 0 Posted April 25, 2002 Hers how cheesy Hollywood is: I read an interview with one of the military consultants that worked with the guys who made Blackhawk Down, the movie verison. You know the part in the movie where they capture that guy by zooming in beside him in a MH60 and having Gary Shughart and Randy Gordon point their rifles at his car? Well, in the original cutting of the script the guy was going to be captured by two attack helicopters. Yeah, you heard me. Attack Helicpters. Cobras, Apaches. These are choppers you use when you want to incinerate the guys car, not when you want to catch him alive. So, after alot of arguing the military consultants managed to get them to rewrite the scene to what it is now. Its still kind of corny, but it is WAY better than what Hollywood wanted it to be.

FallenPaladin 0 Posted April 25, 2002 I chose Infantry. In charge of course! No seriously, I voted for infantry, because I was in an infantry regiment (when I still was in the army) and I liked it. A grunt will always be a grunt. But now I`m thinking of joining the paratroopers in future  when reassigning. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Satchel 0 Posted April 25, 2002 "Your ideal position in a major conflict" - at home, watching it on television. On second thought home might not be a safe place, so maybe i would move with my family to an island that can be hardly found on any maps. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
