Remember when republican bitches about how much we spent on immigration?

Good.

But you can shoot the masked men coming to kidnap you.

Might not be able to stop it.

I work at a dispensary. In theory this could actually be helpful for my job.

I guess so.

no saving it in the western world*

By it I mean how the idf is used and it's place in the Palestinian and Israeli conflict.

And by nice normal counties I mean counties that don't have recruiters at high schools, that don't do the pledge of allegiance very day at school, that don't hit you over the head with how brave and great their military is and provide free healthcare an college to non military members.

Again I agree. But I feel like we are simpling it to much. And I kind of feel like people are not making those distinctions. And it's kind of galling to hear it from nice normal countries that dont have to deal with all this.

Agreed. But it sure does not feel like people here want to make that distinction.

I am working on a 'realistic' sci/fi mech setting. Mechs are mostly used for uban combat and still need infantry support so they use those goofy spring shoes that have probably killed a few people by now to stay a head and clear any anti mech weapons by parkouring around the city. The legs retract when they need to go inside a building.

Besides that though most of my weapons are pretty standard as I tend to focus on production history and why certain designs show up in certain parts of the solar system.

Like I have one mech that is sort of the AK or MIG of the setting. It was built to be cheap and so simple that you can train someone to use it (well enough) in six months where other mechs take three years of training. Its also built with the intention of having easily replicable parts so its easy to take a part and smuggle. It was built near the end of the Lunar-Earth war to quickly replace Lunar colonies heavy loses. It didn't save them, but at the end of the war they had more mechs then any other solar nation combined which have been sold off to rebel groups all around the solar system. So in the end the Lunar colonies fucked everyone over including themselves.

Another mech was designed by belter colonies who needed a standardized but easily customizable design to meet all the varied challenges they face in terms of industry. Theyn also though it was a good idea to use the same chassis for their weapons and so there are hundreds of 'rogue' colonies springing up they are so easy to get ahold of and modify to the point that they don't even need to be used just for urban combat.
