    How little the average redneck understands this joke… I’ll explain it like to a five year old:

    72 bazillion guns are USELESS against one single B52 carpet bombing the shit out of you.

    Modern Warfare makes a gun fight look like a cave men throwing stones.

      Yes, but also you’re ignoring the reality of the resilience of insurgent forces to air power. You cannot win the war only from the air.

        The Texas Gravy Seals are going to have to leave their bunkers for burgers and beer eventually…and insulin.

        Good thing the most well funded military in the world, greater than the next 9 nations combined, is also at their beck and call. This isn’t the NVA, this is a bunch of 280 pound guys who practice shooting from benches, going against drones, artillery, bombers, tanks, missiles, etc.

        One of the fattest countries in the world aren’t hardened fighters after years of various occupations. Vietnam, Afghanistan, Iraq etc. is not comparable to the US and Texas
