Dropping on an urban center would be unironcally good training for the troops. If they were already competent.

That's cool and all, but I'm skeptical. For all we know, he's summarizing a blog post written by Afro-Neurodivergent who had a few drinks.

Kino. Couldn't keep track of all the details but what i am understanding is that Africa is pretty much Game of Thrones during unstable times but real.
!historychads What do you think? Is the 4chan screencap accurate? And why can't any of you losers ever write anything half as interesting?

I've been trying to convince
@kaamrev to do a writeup about the current situation which nearly devolved into the second great african war (including basically all big actors including SAfrica (only because of a fricking photo op too!)) but he ignored me!

For some reason African WW1 sounds really cool. Maybe it would be a better idea to let them fight instead of sending them aid but then help the survivors after. Continental wars shaped Europe into well developed nations, might do the same for Africa.

Africa has to industrialize more to have a WWI. So far they've had Napoleonic style coalition wars.

I'm guessing they've never heard of a DZSO. Or any safety officer for that matter. Them static lines flopping look like yellow arm choppers.

The funny thing is that those are controllable parachutes, those slits in the back let you direct it here and there, turn it against the wind to make the landing smoother etc.

Aren't there cords that you pull to land softerπ€

I'm no expert but paratrooper chutes are different and the jump altitude is much lower. If you're coming in too fast to the ground there's not a lot you can do. Broken bones and other injuries aren't uncommon.

I guess that kinda makes sense, you're paratrooperin' only for couple of minutes tops, then it's back to being a grunt. Still, what a ripoff.

That's the problem. You go on a commercial skydiving trip you're probably jumping around 10,000 ft and pulling your chute at a few thousand feet. Combat jumps might be at 500 ft or even less. There's very little room for error.

My grandad was a paratrooper (and gay
) and he said there's basically only hard landings, it's all about learning to roll with it and not just bounce along and break a load of bones like he did once
