We have some cool naming conventions, take the Type 45 destroyer: Dauntless, Daring, Dragon, Duncan.
yikers mate.
Idno, the lore behind it (naming choppers after native american tribes) seems more like in reverence than anything else.
It feels a bit much to call your military rockets tomahawks when the military shot people who held tomahawks, Iâm just saying
But they didnât shoot those rockets at them, did they?
Doesnât seem to be the biggest offense to the native americans out there.
Rockets werenât invented yet so they tended to use smallpox blankets and rifles instead
Thatâs a really weird defense of the naming convention NGL
Doesnât even feel like defense to me. Itâs more⊠I donât see the offense in the first place.
Rockets have been in use in European Warfare since the 1300s, and long before then in China. They just werenât as effective or accurate as anything we have today.
âWe, the United States military, committed genocide on this people. For decades we strategically and methodologically annihilated them, we slaughtered them, we all but ruined their tribal culture that had endured for millennia. Letâs name our attack helicopters after them.â
Can we please pretend I said âcruise missilesâ instead so I still sound smart
lol, thanks
woa! calm down there, buddy!
Didnât ask
Now thats a thread necromancer right there.
That isnât a very jolly thing to say
Sorry man. My gayness is out there and infecting others as we speak.

Citizens of the forums! Raise your eyes to the thread and observe! Today, homosexualityâs destruction has been averted in defiance of our 1-post bigot!
Mosseus the Jolly Man, herald of the homophobes, has been defeated by our brave comrades in the depths of the EU forums of Argent Dawn.
Mosseus was sent here to judge something that people cannot help. He found a thread whose posters had deviated from his narrow mindset. A thread where not everything had gone according to plan.
Cold logic deemed our thread not worth respecting. Cold logic, however, does not account for the power of the LGBTQ+ community. Itâs up to each of us to prove this is a thread worth saving. That our lives⊠our lives are worth living.
To think we were almost done with this thread, go away Homophobes.
Word does not compute. Such does not exist in my world. Just peepeeholes without a brain.
Itâs bisexual awareness month this month, folks - donât forget to find a local bisexual and very loudly and without any context yell I SEE YOU at them
Just find a bi person and scream I AM AWARE OF YOU.
Loudly and often.
