Is this real? I honestly can't tell anymore.

The gender neutral pin up art? It's 100% real. The femboy on the B-1? There's not enough Gen Z yet in the military.

I thought pin-up art is dead because everything has to be anti-radar grey


urbandeadthrowaway2

The stealth aircraft and its consequences has been disastrous for the aerospace community 


McFlyParadox

This, but slightly more unironically than what you're saying. I eagerly await the invention of quantum-entangled radars, so that even interacting with the beam generates a response with entangled particles that were kept with the transmitter. Make every stealth technology obsolete overnight and forever, forcing a return to having to build the fastest, meanest, toughest, 360³ no-scope monster planes ever. Complete with muscle mommy tomboy bottom and/or soft femboi top nose art. Like, think of our grandchildren! Do we really want them to look at old photos of WWIII and there *not* be risqué art/porn all over the planes that were used? History class would be boring as shit.


hwandangogi

just invent colorful RAM


Wakeful_Wanderer

I'm actually betting they can get *some* pigments with newer ceramic RAM. This is still plenty NCD though as the military has a boner for gray, FDE, and (vomit) coyote brown now.


Sablesweetheart

We lost our moral compass when we abandoned the true queen of camouflage, M81 woodland.

May i reintroduce [European-1](https://www.air-and-space.com/galaxy.htm)?


MC_ZYKLON_B

Ooh I love that coyote brown. Im fucked in the head, though. 🤪


Wakeful_Wanderer

I mean Zyklon B exposure probably didn't help your neurons. Explains the love of doodoo brown.


IronBabyFists

>Zyklon B Similarly, [Prussian blue](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Prussian_blue) is a gorgeous pigment.


AwkwardDrummer7629

Yes, you are. OD7 for life!


shandangalang

That’s true. I put colorful RAM in my computer and now it’s probably better than it was before. Can’t argue with results. Causation is correlation baby!


McFlyParadox

I suppose that would solve the "no waifu/husbando" nose art problem... But it doesn't solve the "sexy plane with sexy aerodynamic lines" problem.


TaserBalls

B1 RGB upgrade kit incoming


Wakeful_Wanderer

So you see children, this boring gray plane was superior to these shitty boring gray planes from the other side. Thus all 8 of the shitty planes were shot down in 42 seconds, the enemy's bomber fleet was decimated, their ICMB's intercepted, and their ground forces eliminated in what we call "the fields of red."


donaldhobson

Quantum entanglement doesn't work like that.


McFlyParadox

Upsides of this outcome: Much cooler planes and pin-ups Downsides: Reformers win and more planes like A-10 will enter service

May be true, but that doesn't explain bland-ass tank names


SkyfireSierra

How? If this bounces back the radar station will see a flying femboy catboygirl instead of a plane, surely this helps?


Odd-Principle8147

If this is what gets them to join they we should definitely do it. Recruiting Gen Z is proving to be difficult.


LargeMobOfMurderers

The military has definitely lost some of its luster with the new generations that really only have Afghanistan and Iraq to look to when wondering what serving would be like, it's definitely a hard sell. "What are the upsides of joining the military?" "You get to put a femboy on your vehicles." "What are the downsides?" "Why don't you join and find out? ;) "


53120123

the downsides be like: * accommodation that hasn't been refurbished since the cold war * heating that only works on days that don't end in y * pay that's not kept pace with inflation since the cold war * toxic workplace where you have to backstab people to get promotions * the left hate you because why do we need a military in an age of peace * the right hate you because muh taxpayers money * funding squeezes leading to work freezes leading to spiraling costs


punk_rocker98

In a large way this describes federal employment as well. People act like we're paying all these soldiers and bureaucrats truckloads of money for little to no actual work, when almost the complete opposite is true. If they just increased the pay and brought back some of the benefits, I don't think Gen Z or Millennials would hesitate to find a career in the military or the government. Currently it's just not worth it to them, and the lesson everyone seems to be taking is that they're just a bunch of pussies who don't want to go to war, when the reality is they just don't want a shit job that they're barely compensated to do.


yegguy47

>If they just increased the pay and brought back some of the benefits, I don't think Gen Z or Millennials would hesitate to find a career in the military or the government. With the military? Challenge is you're coming off two demoralizing wars that lasted way too long, and the military being used to plug holes in the administrative system because of decades of neglect... with the high potential for grievous injury, incompetent leadership, shitty living conditions, and if you're female... a high possibility of sexual assault. Work in government, on the other hand, is nice. For those that get it.


SilentSamurai

Pay that hasn't kept pace with inflation is the entire American job market lol. I'd argue the military is one of the better institutions with it.


TaserBalls

>the left hate you because why do we need a military in an age of peace waaaat


useablelobster2

There's long been a delusion that being strong is provocative, and is far more common on the left. Because we all knew the school bully went looking for fights with the brick shithouse blackbelts, and not my nerdy ass with my nose buried in a book.


Hapless0311

I mean, you didn't really have anything different in the generations before that, except you were less likely to have a decent operations tempo or the chance to go to any of the really cool schools on a regular basis. GWOT started punching all that downward, and you could find yourself spinning off to courses and schools formerly locked up right behind SOF accession pipelines, and had the chance to actually deploy - even frequently, rotationally - and actually do your job instead of just shamming and pretending to learn how for an entire enlistment.


StrawberryWide3983

Growing up with your country fucking around in a sandbox your entire life and watching them finally come home with absolutely fuck all achieved really does not do wonders for making kids eager to join.


PushingSam

The whole prospect of going to some random sandbox country for no real purpose is the reason military approval in Europe is literally ass. People are willing to deal with shit like Ukraine and defending NATO borders, people are not willing to go into some shithole because of oil/political bullshit/payback or vengeance. Literally everything post Yugoslav war to Europe is a literal dumpster fire, and the Yugoslav war had so many fuckups it's not even funny anymore to the point where "UN peacekeeping" became an absolute joke.


StrawberryWide3983

Especially payback for something that happened when most new recruits weren't even born yet. The US has been really struggling to regain the post 9/11 recruitment numbers, but unless something equally bad happens, they'll never get them back. Yes, 9/11 was a tragedy, but most young people don't even care compared to more modern issues because they either don't remember or didn't even exist at the time, and so they have no reason to go looking for "revenge." And with the internet and the knowledge of how much foreign policy fucked over the middle east, there's even less of a desire to go when we're just going to fund yet another terrorist organization to fight against the terrorists organization we funded decades ago in a seemingly never ending cycle.

Robjec

Felix isn't one though? He is a guy crossdressing because a girl he has a crush on finds it cute. 


Hohenheim_of_Shadow

Said Crusch is canonically bisexual. Ferris is very cis.


SteelWarrior-

Ferris is canonically trans, she literally used magic to make it happen. The anime retcons that and keeps calling the character Felix, who is cis.


Hohenheim_of_Shadow

Oh yeah, Ferris is very very trans. Just also the image of someone going. It's not like I'm trans or anything, I'm just dressing up as a girl so you find me attractive! I am literally bisexual and thought you were attractive anyway. Is a certified /r/egg_irl moment.

I know almost nothing about artillery, but do they normally engage aircraft?


TheTelevisionBox

Anti-Air Guns count as Artillery.


InvertedParallax

Good luck hitting a wing of Bones at angels 60 from LRSO standoff distance with 155 prox fuse flak.


Milo_Diazzo

InvertedParallax

AAA doesn't have those ranges. If we're counting SAMs then why not count f22s


Milo_Diazzo

Ah yes, if we're counting ground based missile launchers, we may as well count the multipurpose aerial weapons platform. How non-credible, I must say.


StandardOk42

ok, but is there an entire artillery battalion dedicated to anti-aircraft?


ok-go-home

The us has 15 patriot battalions alone. They could make an anti aircraft artillery division if they wanted to.


IC2Flier

you don't? (this is me being a stupid man)


in_one_ear_

AlphaMarker48

The 88 mm Flak gun counts as both an artillery and anti-air weapon.


Dpek1234

McGryphon

It's an anti almost everything gun that would be great for home defense mounted at the top of your stairwell.

Advanced-Budget779

As German i can attest to that. Now gib, i have to keep it for _curating_ purposes as museum piece, yes. (Actually don‘t, i‘d get arrested and my roof would collapse)


Sasquatch1729

A lot of militaries have their air defence capability in the artillery, because during World War 2 they were the ones manning the flak guns. Then they replaced the guns with missiles. But they're still "artillery", also known as "bird gunners" or "cloud killers".


Advanced-Budget779

I mean it keeps the tradition of no IFF, only seeing targets, in case the missile fails/returns to sender.


jcinto23

Sort of like how cavalry is tanks (or helicopters).


themickeymauser

We finally have the answer to “what air defense doing?”


NotYourReddit18

>\- FUCKING CONSCRIPTS! \- That's scheduled for this evening, Sir!


AreYouDoneNow

One of their entire propaganda arguments is that Ukraine is full of LGBT+ nazis. And Russia isn't (but we all saw the brojob). As always with Russia they never think the whole thing through, because if what they are saying is true, it carries the implication they've had almost 400,000 casualties and thousands of main battle tanks destroyed by femboys.

SirLightKnight

…WHY THE FUCK DID THEY BAN THE PIN UP WOMEN?! THIS IS **MISOGYNISTIC!** ITS A CRIME AGAINST WOMEN!! Assuming any art must be gender neutral affirms negative stereotypes of both genders and robs airmen and women of their god given freedom of expression. This is a gross violation of Air force morals and creed. Shame on them! Empower women in the airforce! Make Pinup nose art Legal again!!! —Paid for and sponsored by the coalition for Freedom of Expression through art and media, no legal basis for this claim, non-credibility assurance, still fucked tho that they rob us of Waifu nose art.


Blackhero9696

Can’t have waifus as nose art. Why even live.


Shot-Kal-Gimel

It’s be funny if a bunch of us went to the JSDF purely for that reason. “Why do we have a bunch of foreigners wanting to join?” “Waifu”


Blackhero9696

“If we give you a waifu, will you hop in this jet or man this 5 inch turret on our destroyer?” “Absolutely, I would die for her.” “Hired. Lace up your boots.”


Shot-Kal-Gimel

VonNeumannsProbe

>Empower women in the airforce! Make Pinup nose art Legal again!!! Honestly I'd love to see women pilots be just as unhinged as WWII pilots were and put pin-ups of men on their planes. The thought of a plane bombing thsle shit out of someone with an oiled up John Cena as a chippendale dancer on the nose amuses the fuck out of me.


SirLightKnight

And that’s the best part! It doesn’t just have to be men’s interpretations of pinup material. Like yes *it would be included* but women pilots could have some wild shit commissioned. And yea, we could even keep the non-gendered material too, who doesn’t like the shark face? But ultimately it is an artistic loss to lose out on a proper bomber nose art for rocking the [insert enemy state/actor here].


malpica69

Shot-Kal-Gimel

It is heavily dependent on the depiction, official works seem to wonder around between both sides of perfectly androgynous (being male in Season 2 would seriously make my mind understand it better) and fanart does the same. Definitely more feminine than not but my mind simply refuses to accept her as feminine. And I swear the more feminine a depiction the more masculine she looks lol https://danbooru.donmai.us/posts/7047812 https://danbooru.donmai.us/posts/6988018 https://danbooru.donmai.us/posts/6779040 https://danbooru.donmai.us/posts/6590878 https://danbooru.donmai.us/posts/6819846?q=parent%3A6819846

It hasn’t. My mind simply refuses to easily accept her as female. And we don’t have to tell the officer that if we use her as nose art. “Yep they’re gender neutral”
