In the year 2010, kids were filming airshit/paintball skirmishes in HD, slow mo, with dynamic angles

Half a decade later, 3rd worlders caught on to these techniques and applied them to war/kill footage

And yet, militaries still film shit at a grainy 480p or its Funker footage where you can't see shit. When will war footage unfuck itself?

They don't want to release gore because of the "violence is bad" backlash they would get. They're pretty selective about what they release in general, mostly they hold on to the footage to study and learn from it and only release some of it in reduced quality. That and flashy propaganda pictures from combat camera units for PR purposes.

>>30022393

i would like to interject here.

Germans, Americans and Brits alike ALL made extensive use of combat footage for training purposes during WWII, particularly air combat.

the amount of details one can pick up from modern combat footage is unprecedented and almost a luxury, it allows for such an indepth study it would be completely idiotic to assume it's better to stick with low-res simulation and training when the stress of combat and real life situations are at any service's disposal.

i know many police department show dash cams, raid go-pro footage and CCTV feeds constantlyto train recruits. The military shouldn't be different.

you are aware that the technology for cameras is only about 170 years old, and that like ancient silver process that took 30 minutes just to expose.

motion picture has been around since the 1920 i think maybe a little earlier. digital only reached a wide audiance within the last 20 years, before that it was only people with serious money like sports reporters, and the like.

small cameras only came about with in the last 15 years and only reached high quality and low price with in the last 5.

you do understand that technology is an iterative process?

your question is as stupid as asking why soldiers at the battle of the bulge where armed with SCARs?

technology, and economics you uneducated idiot.

I totally agree.

But even in the worst case scenario, non Hispanic whites will be a plurality in the US until pretty much the end of time.

Even Mexico itself has birthrates that are barely over replenishment, the biggest growing demographic group in the US is Asians.

This is a great time to be alive.

I'd be lying if I didn't say there was a bumpy road ahead.

The US did however survive a couple waves of Poles, Germans, Italians, Russians and other pond life during the last gilded age.

I tend to think of our current era as a second one, as peacetime has caused corporate interests to become more powerful than government ones.

The good news is that Hispanic birth rates are falling in the US.

What I really hope for is that the whole J-shaped fertility curve is real, we make college substantially cheaper, and the tide begins to flow in reverse before shit gets real.

The good news is that guns have actually become more widely liked since Sandy Hook.

For the first time since polling began, more people think that gun laws should be looser than think they should be tighter.

The Second Amendment has done a much better job of winning the culture wars than the rest of the GOP platform.

It would have to be, you spend fifteen hours on patrol, you're going to need a fucking huge memory card at 1080p.

If it's not always on then you're like a street cop turning his vest cam on when he starts to talk to a perp. Because opfor will happily wait for you to do that.

>>30030365
A capture/storage system similar to Shadowplay would probably work; the capture device is on by default, overwriting old footage as it goes.
Should any relevant action appear, the soldier presses a button on the device, marking the last X minutes to not be overwritten.
This can be done multiple times, storing several video segments of the given duration.
On return from mission, the spent storage device is replaced with a clean one (if any video of interest has been shot), and the footage is transferred to permanent storage.
>>
>>30030527
There's ways to make it work but you're still asking a soldier to hit a button in a firefight to do stuff not related to surviving the firefight. And remembering to do that.

You surely understand what adrenaline does to task memory. Muscle memory works pretty well, task memory not so much.

And this is then a non-standard device which means it needs r&d and military procurement by committee rather than just an order to a distributor for X number of GoPros. Which makes it 10x the cost.

>>30030554
>There's ways to make it work but you're still asking a soldier to hit a button in a firefight to do stuff not related to surviving the firefight.

No, he does it after the fight, or whatever else may have happened. Something cool took place? When it's over, press "Save". Sometimes people will forget, but sometimes they'll remember, and depending on the storage size they may have quite a bit of time to remember before anything is wiped.

Guy with Camera is American special forces, other blokes with him are Afghan National Army.

They breach the building with the Afghan bloke on point, the American opens up the doorway, the ANA goes in followed by the American.

American clears the room on the left, the ANA bloke just stands doing not much. (bad idea)

Two gunshots, American turns around and comes back out from the now cleared room.

ANA guys gun gets shot, he turns tail and runs out the entrance, American puts down some suppressing fire and is also trying his luck at hitting the hostile (probs Taliban) through the wall.

American pushes forward and past the door to get into a good position on the room the hostiles are in. At this point the ANA guy is killed, shot through the holes in the front of the building by the same guy.

The American shoots the hostile from the corner position he has taken, then he quickly checks the room.

Calls a medic for the guy he just shot, since ROE and all that jazz.
