I believe the quote was "we are 50 war tribes in a trenchcoat with a defense budget to fight god"

[@johnj.spurgin7037]

Need more tribes and more defense budget. Those are rookie numbers!

[@colonelilbrink8544]

Yes, that is correct. Also, it came from HLC himself.

[@iamaloafofbread8926]

​@johnj.spurgin7037 Don't worry, when the aliens try to invade, we will have a larger budget

Thunderscreech drone. Doesn't need to be armed. Don't need to kill your pilots. Maybe give it a subsonic mode so you don't kill your ground crew/friendlies.

[@johnj.spurgin7037]

Thunderscreech? Nah, call that bish the Banshee, because it foretells your eventual demise.

[@Kalebfenoir]

Only problem is the Thunderscreech's constant sonic booms shake apart and destroy any kind of sensitive electronics - like computer guidance systems. It's pretty much an analog-driven plane by necessity cuz it'd shake apart or shatter it's own computer in a few seconds. Lol. Otherwise yeah, use one for suppression of enemy electronics, hearing ... people... lol. You only get to hear it ONCE when it flies low over you.

Fun fact: that 1,100 decibel black hole thing? That wouldn’t just create a black hole, that would straight up destroy the entire universe, because the event horizon would be larger than the diameter of the entire known universe.

[@toospooky051]

Having dropped a couple of these specific types of hellfires during my time in the Air Force, I can tell you it is so accurate. The actual radius of impact is classified.

[@Squeekysquid]

In short the the radius is probably social distancing.

[@timat6656]

imagine you brought back the Thunderscreech as a drone so the pilots and maintainers don't get harmed and then used it to ruin enemy morale.

[@stevenmiller7043]

They actually brought that up on the podcast! 😂 it would definitely work

[@alexion2001]

Morale? You're gonna ruin the enemy's ability to not bleed out of their ears! 🤣

[@imapopo2924]

Itd wreck it's own electronics unless you gave it some really strong systems. One of the reasons they stopped flying it was it was literally destroying the sensitive electronics in the Air Traffic Control tower.

[@benn454]

Not a war crime the first time.

The government needs to form a new division comprised entirely of grunts and farmers. That way we can get more grunts and crafts projects rolling out.

[@noxiplays]

If you make it a governmental division you wont get this result because then its not grunts and farmers anymore, then its official with rules and what not. Just make it inofficial and when you need someone to solve a fucked up problem you got them on quick dial. Yes this wont happen but this would be ideal.

Dont beleive anyone that calls it the Ginsu. As an American i refuse to call it that. I call it the slapchop. Like the good lord intended.

[@arcticbanana66]

12:46 - Calling the blades "pointless"? This is America, _of course_ the swords are necessary! The only way to make that missile more American would be if, instead of swords, a little gun popped out to shoot the guy! I feel like Nic probably said something very similar to this in his video about the Sword Missile, but leave it to America to figure out how to successfully bring a knife to a gunfight.

“Reddit should never be source of information” (looks at windigoon’s corner)

The quote is "the us is 50 war tribes in a trenchcoat with a budget big enough to fight god" and that, i think, was coined by habitual linecrosser(HLC). HLC is the dude in the olive green tee-shirt and olive green baseball cap. 14:07 the US is definitely the kid who sits in the back, just tinkers with things to see how they work, and then tries to make something do a task it wasnt originally made to do. It either that or the super smart kid that tries to keep themselves entertained but inadvertently is "the problem child." So it ends up starting stuff because it can

[@Nightmare_52]

the thunderscreech should be classed as a sonic weapon

[@warbacca1017]

And we never apparently expanded off that with sonic missiles or anything?

[@Lam6da98]

4:00 they give you "battleplugs" which have 2 settings for hearing in combat. Not the 3M ones, the ones made by Moldex

[@Director_Orson_Krennic]

Hah! I was the one who quoted to you the 50 war tribes quote in a VC several months back, but I stole it from Habitual Linecrosser (guy second from the right, tan shirt and ballcap). "America is just 50 war tribes in a trenchcoat, with a defence budget big enough to fight god"

[@wolflordkanan9720]

"Hypersonic under water" Ahhhh. America's UNhealthcare systems at work

[@MrPingn]

Regarding that supersonic underwater drone tech. They were looking at doing it with torpedoes. The idea was to release jets of air at the head of the weapon. The air creates a cushion around the body reducing drag. Or at least that's the idea they presented at the time. Supercavitating Torpedo

[@johnj.spurgin7037]

Knife Missile, because screw that one guy in particular. Yeah, we have a LOT of precision tools to make people have the longest shortest day of their life. I almost worry that our proportions are off. We're lacking in the "To Whom It May Concern" bracket. Need to bring back battleships.

[@sph1988]

We still have tons of those, but just don't get to use them much ourselves. Now the stuff we've been sending to Ukraine, Russians have been VERY CONCERNED as of late lol

[@Ratkill9000]

We lack the know how to get those ships backup and running. Case in point, Raytheon had to call back retired workers in their 70s and 80s to make wiring harnesses for Stinger missiles because they stockpiled so many and burned through it, when they had to restock, no one knew how to make them. With naval guns, we dont have the infrastructure to make the shells.

[@reecedignan8365]

If you’re asking how the SAS deals with precision elimination of targets with no civilian casualties. Simple! You tell ol-we jock McBinflapp that he’s no allowed to go out to the pub until said target is dead, any civilian casualties results in a permanent ban from all pubs for a full year per civilian scratched. As such, you will find said target very much dead and everyone around him just mildly inconvenienced before the next weekend is out. Or, you just go to paddy-lad from across the pond down near the borders. Tell him he’s got a target and the enemy will soon find out that while they may be experts in the use of IEDs, they still have a lot to learn from the pro’s.

Tbf skunk works who he was talking about is part of Lockheed Martin which isn't technically the military but a private company that works with the military a lot but besides that multiple groups can be working on the same tech in different ways just like multiple countries were working on nukes in WW2. Skunk works was testing one last year and NASA tested one earlier this year which is the one Boom was connected to and Boom is in the team being led by Northrop Grumman who just like Lockheed Martin are interested for the military side of things, different groups research the same things for very different reasons but the main people behind the research are doing so for military applications but will end up in public use just like most other technology we end up getting as average consumers, pretty much everything goes back to being developed by the military
