Does /k/ like to fly?
Because I like to fly
I also like landing, sometimes
But I mostly like flying
Is /k/ interested in military strategy and tactics?
In case you are that sort of Anon, I've got something here that might interest you. I've translated Prof. Dr. Herfried Münkler's talk on "Lernen im Krieg - Aus dem Krieg" (Learning during war - learning from [after] war). Herfried Münkler is professor of Political Science at the Humbold University of Berlin and definitely one of the brightest minds in matters of warfare in Germany (which may or may not mean a lot these days - but that's a different topic).

A question just came up, "Can one learn from wars?"
It is a question I would answer naturally with "Yes". I would of course answer it with "yes". And I would connect it to the observation that learning also happens during war; which is a much more difficult and less evaluative form of learning.

>Western Europe despite it's superior military training and organization, superior equipment and superior numbers lost every crusade.
>and Western nations are still losing in military conflicts against Arabic nations today
Why is this? The whole reasons why Columbus discovered America in the first place is because the western merchants couldn't get past the Muslim Ottoman empire so they had to find another way into the far east. This shows how much the west has failed in dealing with the Islamic...

>why are wars lost when a team runs out of money?

You speak as if the crusaders couldn't harvest resources from the local region or anything.

alright back to firefly studios you go
m curious how /k/ would deal with aliums, besides the obvious of shooting them.
What would you do if you saw pic related? What gun would you choose?
Anyone with experience in the subject? I want to track down and kill the xeno menace.

I'd think if you went to another planet with a potentially hazardous environment you wouldn't step out of your spaceship with your dick swaying in the wind
