The "Independant" is objective? About as much as...something...that's not objective...

So how does that work? You put it on so people facing your direction would see it as correct, but people facing toward you see it backwards?

Let's say I was to enlist in the USMC. How could or go from an NCO to an O once I was in? Or do you have to start as an officer?

Blah, Tex, that was easy, I got it the second time reading it over.

I think I got a good shot at it. They both have cataracts. When you have cataracts, little halos or circles appear around lights a little bit. So one man shined a tiny little light. This light had a circle around it, so three blinking circles showed the exact location of the man. The Germans either didn't see the tiny light, or couldn't find the source. The man could, because it made a circle around the light.

Errrr...that's quite a simplification. It has a better cannon (actually, now it has one in the first place) can travel at unbelievable speeds in water for an IFV carrying 18 people, and that's another thing, it costs twice as much, but carries three times the people. As for the armor, well, at MINIMUM it can withstand 14.5mm. With extra armor likely added on land missions, well? Who knows.

Rehmaf, could you give any links? That would be very helpful. Which lasts longer? Doesn't the thermal imaging one have to be chilled very cold to work? What are the drawbacks of both?

"Remember, when everyone else is shooting, shoot in the same direction."

When I think of nightvision, I think of two types: thermal (lots of colors depending on heat, or just greyscale) and the light enhancing cathoide type, the one that creates a "green" look. Which is better? Which is the one that modern armies use? Which would you rather use in the field? What are the pros and cons for both of these types? I need some clearing up on my nightvision knowledge, any help would be appreciated.

Yeah, kinda irks me too. If anyone has actually seen a real m16 fire you know right away it fires way faster than that.

I'd piss my pants if officers in the US were not armed, like in some parts of the UK. Fact is, they are different places, folks. America is a violent place.

Yes, that's a keeper. *saves and prints out*

Anytime, anywhere, any reason. <----- angry determination face.

Can someone give me a site comparing the PAGST vest with the new interceptor? I've heard a story about a person grieving in Afghanistan when a motar round landed right next to 4 guys, but they still got up and ran away with only bruises and scratches thanks to the new body armor. Seems like the USMC/Army is getting better equipment everyday. 3 Years from now...

The US could not declare war against NK in the forseeable future.
