He does know that watching the person next to you get their brains blown out all over you and the people behind you, and well the couple people behind them as well, is definitely not good for morale, especially those not trained for it. Soldiers hardly are but we are trained to finish the mission, and sometimes we still cant.
Very few people (without experience) actually understand that battles are won mostly via morale rather than actually killing everybody. After all their closest experience is probably playing Starcraft and your space marines never break and run, they always cheerfully keep shooting the Zerg to the last HP of the last troop. Thus as long as you have more troops than the enemy has bullets, you are guaranteed to win*.

It's usually easy to tell who has actual combat experience and who doesn't from how well they deal with morale. Just contrast Lord of the Rings, where most of the battles are about courage as much as actual stabbing.

wherever he [Gandalf] came men’s hearts would lift again and the winged shadows pass from memory…and yet – when they had gone, the shadows closed on men again, and their hearts went cold, and the valour of Gondor withered into ash

Or, most notably when the Black Ships show up at Gondor:

filled with a new lust and fury they [The Orcs] came yelling to the onset

Then they realize that it's not reinforcements, it's Aragorn and his army on those ships:

the hosts of Mordor were seized with bewilderment…and a black dead fell on them, knowing that the tides of fate had turned against them and their doom was at hand

Nothing in the actual position, weapons, etc. changes but the entire battle changes direction multiple times based on morale because Aragorn unfurled his banner or Gandalf gave a good showing, and it affects how everybody fights dramatically.

Meanwhile in A Song of Ice and Fire we run into everything being about actual numbers killed, morale rarely matters and the death toll tends to be so high Westeros should be suffering from demographic collapse (Daenerys loses half her Unsullied and Dothraki in a single battle at Winterfell and we see multiple armies destroyed entirely on the field.)

*People (without experience) also have no idea how much ammo a typical gun owner can go through in a single afternoon at the range and will not comprehend that it's hardly unusual for such a typical gun owner to have thousands of rounds on-hand.

Yes. The goal in most battles isn't to wipe out the enemy, but to get them to retreat or surrender so your army can move on to its next objective unmolested. You don't need to kill them all to do that.

I guess Black children stabbing each other is just a normal occurrence in some communities that we shouldn't stigmatize and stop policing so vigorously, like hanging air fresheners and marijuana use.


Had to update my old post with a picture of the Tweet because as this Washington Times columnist states:

Morale works two ways though.
Sometimes you may push them to fight harder.
But yeah this is a huge thing for the US military. Take a loss to give you the strength to keep fighting

Oh agreed, morale isn't just a debuff you can apply by clicking the "Hurt Morale" button on your quick-attack bar.

However this is in the context of somebody claiming that woke mobs can beat the right wing by having more people than the right has bullets and their woke mob just continuing to advance over a mountain of their own dead towards anybody who voted R. The only groups with that little regard for morale are zombies.

I remember some similiar retardation coming from the author of S.S.D.D (a furry webcomic about an anarchist trying to establish an anarchistic regime) who claimed that the far-right are "just" middle-aged out-of-shape white men and there will always be one more fighter to bash their brains in than they have ammo.

Yeah, right, I'd like to see this faggot try to keep his nerve while antifa-goons are dropping left and right around him. Just look at his posturing:

Buddy, your precious antifa-goons would run the second one of their own gets popped and dropped.

Dont underestimate these goons.

That said, whenever they went toe to toe against the old alt right or proud boys and didnt outnumber them by orders of magnitude, they got rocked.

Plus, if you have more rhen one person with a gun they would have to be running full sprint to not make easy targets.

But yeah, I doubt they would last past the initial volley.

But definitely do not let them outnumber a group of people who are unarmed or melee armed.
 

What's the sitch?

Do black lives matter to black people?
and if they don't care am I still obligated to?

I think they just need to only have certain races of cops police certain areas or find any excuse to just not show up.

The media/social media has gotten too powerful and clickbaity and people keep blindly trusting it. Even if there is a retraction later, its way too late and the damage is done. Technology has surpassed what we are genetically/physically/mentally capable of working with. We weren't designed/built for this.

News just travels way too fast, way too far, people are way too "updated" and by the time the facts actually do come out, the narrative and story are already set.

Hey, I have a great idea to solve all of these issues with white police killing black people. We can have entire towns, or perhaps large sections of major cities, that are just for black people. Black homes, black businesses, black police, only black elected officials, etc. Then we can have the same thing for white people. Then only blacks will be policing blacks, only blacks will be governing blacks, black people won’t have to deal with hiring discrimination.

What a progressive solution to this entire situation.

Huh, it seems like the Democrats are getting what they wanted all along- Segregation Forever. Wonder if it was the plan all along? Perhaps they even wanted vengeance on the Republicans for loosing their slaves, to utterly overturn their victories by subverting them and then rewrite history so that they were in the right all along...

Press conference on the latest shooting, including a 911 call.



Let's just hope they can do this with as little political interference as possible.

Nobody on the left is proposing this, and in fact there is nothing they oppose more than the White people being left alone part. This is something we attribute to them. What the modern left / democrats want is black criminals running rampant, which is definitely not what the Dixiecrats wanted.

Yeah, I was probably getting too deep into the theorizing and maybe letting the memes influence me too much. It does actually sound pretty silly now that I actually think about it.

I mean, that looks like a 'good' shoot to me, but I'm not an expert by any means.
It was a good shoot.
The cop either way would have ended up getting shit on by the media because if he didn't shoot "Officer watches woman get stabbed" if he shoots "Cop shoots 16 year old innocent unarmed black teen!*

...I guess you missed how some leftist universities have started having segregated graduations, segregated dorms, etc?

There very much are some leftists pushing this as the 'solution' to racial conflict problems.

I will rag on police everyday and any day, but really the big concern here is that the cop needed to be more mindful of what's behind the target he's shooting. Because he easily might've killed the woman being attacked with a knife as saved her.

Like...Cop lucked-out and ended up not hitting her, so that's good. And that also comes with the chance that it wasn't luck but good practice on the cop's part (which I honestly doubt a little but IS a possibility) which allowed him to make the shot without hitting the girl being attacked.

With a girl as big as her, and how small the girl in pink was, he had a much higher chance of not hitting the other girl then hitting her.
Also, in some cases, you can't always choose the perfect scenario and you may end up having someone in the other side and hope for the best
