ThePest179

I think the simplest explanation is they sent a brigade in, not knowing they'd be fighting an entire army.

That means they sent about 7,000 or less people into the facility, which doesn't seem like what happened (I think multiple divisions of HECU were deployed (around 80,000)).

Banned because I can say what I want, even if the grammar is flawed.

Banned because that is ridiculous and unintelligible (or perhaps TOO intelligent) for most of us.

Banned because I am confused again.

In other words, if it's just Kevlar (special forces use it, they need the lighter weight) and not steel plate (front-line troops wear it for added protection, but significant weight increase) they'll likely have moderate to severe injury if the bullets being fired are not hollow point. (at least with the repeated hits they're taking)

So what kind does the USMC use?

Banned because you do.

 

Aren't the thornets supposed to seek out anything organic? I'd think that they'd go for his face. Also, that he'd show some reaction to a soldier dying to a thornet after talking about how they're weaker than Earth bees.

 

They don't necessarily go for the face. They probably just track any life signatures deemed hostile. As for a reaction to the soldier, you're just nitpicking a little TOO much there.

Banned for not making the thread more visually appealing.

99% sure that the "bees" are toxic. And stabby. I like the Black Mesa versions, which explode on contact and seemingly disperse acid that chews through armor and flesh more efficiently than bullets. Though it looks like the original ones do the same, except without the explosion effect and potential self harm. Earth bees aren't that hardcore. And I haven't even seen a single organic assault rifle that shoots Earth bees.

 

It was kind of weird seeing Freeman talk about how harmless the bees were, then watching an Alien Grunt kill a human soldier with those same bees. I was also kinda disappointed he had no real reaction to the Alien Grunt punching a soldier through a thick concrete wall. Freaked me out when I first saw it.

I'm fairly sure that the thornets are hitting the HEV suit. That suit has been built with the intention of stopping almost every kind of small arms fire and weapons in general that I don't think bees would punch through. The non-explosive kind of course.

Amazing episode! That trampoline.....

Banned because you mentioned the forbidden land known as "outside".

True. I would not trust any of that lot. Remind me, where do I find them now? Oh, sorry, I forgot, silly me...

Just spoiler tag it though, we don't need the screen to stretch out for a mile.

Yeah, better trust the US Government - that well known paragon of honesty, trustworthiness and humanity. LOL

Better than trusting fascists and neo-communists.

Banned because I know you should.

So in an attempt to buy Assad time, the Russians proposed a deal where the Syrian government hands over all its chemical weapons to the United Nations.

First, Trying to do what they said is almost impossible in the situation Syria is in now.

Second, This is probably just a desperate attempt to buy time for Assad.

Third, We shouldn't trust the Russians anyway, as they proved themselves to be unreliable in previous attempts to condemn Assad.

The peace talks were cancelled after an incident between Israeli soldiers and Palestinian protesters. Goodbye hope for peace.

Guess I'm reviving this thread! Two people fired on workers inside a Navy Yard in Washington. One suspect is currently being searched for.

Banned because you won't do my work for me.

 

THIS HAPPENS EVERY FUCKING TIME

LISTEN TO WHAT THE MAN HAS TO SAY, INSTEAD OF USING KINDERGARDEN ARGUMENTS!!!

 

And another country falls to idiots getting power through the democratic system. Russia and China might become the world's superpowers. I would rant about my own problems, but it makes me feel more depressed then angry (at the moment)

Banned for not translating your messages sooner.

Granted, you now have $1.

I wish I could cheat at everything and not get caught, ever.

Banned because I still don't get it.
