  1. So in late 2012 Russia and China cause the nuclear apocalypse I knew we should had blasted the hell out of those people.
  2. 80% played as male Shepard? What is this i don't even. The majority of gamers are male, still that doesn't mean that they did all their playthroughs as male.
  3. They did it with Ron Hubbard. But he did start with a following of his own anyway.... So did Jesus, a thousand years from now Ron will also have no faults.
  4. Its not the same situation but its the same problem and it's one of the situation in which we have fought against guerrilla groups. Concentration of force seems to be the best recourse here.
  5. It changes the perspective, I went from seeing Malak as a sinister sith who tortures people to just being my ex-apprentice If all you got from Kotor was a plot twist then I feel sorry for you, it laid the groundwork for what would had become an epic trilogy. But damn it there is not KOTOR III
  6. He gave me a chemistry set for my birthday this year
  7. Just comparing the plot twists, Kotor wins hands down. The revelation was shocking and it changes your perspective on the bad guy; ME and ME2 is a long winded revelation of finding what happened to the proteans with some quasi-religious undertones.
  8. Plus if it really gets bad childbearing will become a privilege, with payments for license and such. So much that only those with the means to properly care for themselves will be the ones that have children.
  9. I repeat, that's why I said in a more humane manner. We don't need to jail them, we just need to control access, keep out the Taliban, and make moving within the urban areas harder for the insurgents. It's my fault for being thick, but would you mind restating your plan? No, It's my fault for not being concise The major problems that troops face when on the ground is that; they don't know where the enemy will come from or who is it, I.E.D.s, and that the Taliban is able to move freely. Basically instead of being out there looking for the Taliban we should focus on separating the Taliban from the population. We have some railroads checkpoints but insurgents still move between them and once inside urban areas they are able to operate freely. Any area that is not choke full of troops is free ground for them. Is the same mistake from Vietnam, we are playing chess they are playing Go. We should focus on gaining ground and limiting the enemies movement inside populated areas which should alleviate some of the problems I previously mentioned. It should also hinder the Taliban's intelligence on troops movements and should make recruitment harder for them.

  11. Or he was trying to score points by supporting the international underdog: the arts. Quite frankly I doubt that excess funding will factor into the war since I believe that it will just be spent on frivolities. Proper use of funding is to keep the war going, a surplus will be wasted on experiments that should had been done before the war. On to Weyler strategy; the Cuban revolutions followed the same pattern, from east to west in a series of guerilla operations to minimize the military hold over the area. At the point which Valeriano Weyler was assigned to the task of quelling the rebellion they already had won a considerable amount of ground. Weyler cut supplies and information from the rebels by isolating their main resource; civilians. What went on to be known as the first official concentration camps. It was a horrible thing and in the end counterintuitive to the cause, that's why I said in a "humane manner". The point of the matter here is that traditional tactics don't work against guerilla groups, one needs to limit their access to the population. For Weyler it made military activities easier but in the long run it fell apart, but it did bring the rebellion to a stand.
  12. Just the buggy ones. So Obsidian is guaranteed to be there
  13. Why do they even have these if they never answer anything?
  14. We can hold on for a while longer whilst the technology evolves to continue to solve problems brought by overpopulation. Just look at Japan, they have had an overpopulation problem for some time now and have found ways to maintain resources and properly use space.
  15. I'm okay with it as long as it has an element of strategy woven into it. To be perfectly honest DA was a little "actiony".
  16. They ran it through fear, the Taliban operates in the backyards of remote villages and through agents in the urban. They kill cooperators and try to discourage any future events, yet there are still those brave enough to risk themselves for the good of their country. Despite this there is still a wedge between the population and the US troops, our best resources to bring peace to the are is to train Afghans troops to fight the Taliban and spread them around known Taliban operation areas. The other problem is civilian support of the Taliban, our troops can't move without the Taliban knowing because any bystander could be reporting to them. Whilst we have no eyes inside the Taliban, the use of intelligence and espionage tactics in this war could had afforded us a clearer view of objectives and fewer losses on our part. It's my belief that if we are to win this war any support to the Taliban must be cut off. I would say that we employ the same strategy Valeriano Weyler used against the Cuban rebellion; in a more humane manner of course, as we need to control the movements of the population without encouraging support for the Taliban.
  17. 6 actually. 18 actually, if you count the history of middle earth.
  18. We are fighting but there is nothing to win, we are fighting against a guerrilla force. As someone whose national history is a series of guerrilla wars and was forced to learn it I can tell you the best course of action here is to do nothing. The classic Fabian strategy, the Taliban simply can't exist without support.
  19. We are not fighting the Taliban, we are in a war against terrorism. The problem with that is that there are no solid objectives, there is no ground to take or pieces. It's Vietnam allover again; we think that we are taking more pieces but they are controlling the area with less manpower.
  20. Pragmatically speaking it is an "unwinnable" war mainly because we have no solid objective. Is like the war against drugs in the remark that no matter how many victories you have it only brings new enemies. Today is the Taliban, tomorrow it will be another radical group; the only difference is that if we stay in the country there is a chance of it becoming self-sufficient enough to combat this threats whilst they are in the bud and that of them becoming more integrated to the world and it's general ideas.
