What is the greatest weapon of war?

mrjaygibbs

I always wondered what the greatest weapon of war is. Is it something simple like the AK47 or the hard hitting AC130? I know the AC130 can fire a shell the size of a small car at you but something like the AK47 would have killed a lot more people since its invention! But it could be argued that its physiological warfare that makes a weapon great like the simple landmine or being hit by a .50cal bullet from a sniper or demolished by a predator missile from above. Each country has it own advance in weaponry to get some sort of edge in war. Anyway would b great if you can give some input to this question.

Ours is our inability to do anything. Or we would moan and whinge our way to victory.

Northrop Grumman B-2 Spirit with B83 nuclear bomb payload would probably be my vote.

USN Trident Ohio class nuke sub. Game over.

Or one of the USN carrier strike groups. One of their carriers of which they have 12, carry more fighter jets than most of the worlds airforces have in total.

Fairly sure an Atomic Bomb beats all.

Witcher

The individual be it soldier/pilot/sailor..without them bullets wouldn't be fired, bombs dropped or ships sunk.

Kif, we have a conundrum

arybvtcw0eolkf

Someone like Hermann Goering (or G.W.Bush), ie someone who can convince a reluctant people to get behind him and follow him to a war the people don't want, or need.

To quote Goering during an interview with Gustaf Gilbert;

Göring: Why, of course, the people don't want war. Why would some poor slob on a farm want to risk his life in a war when the best that he can get out of it is to come back to his farm in one piece. Naturally, the common people don't want war; neither in Russia nor in England nor in America, nor for that matter in Germany. That is understood. But, after all, it is the leaders of the country who determine the policy and it is always a simple matter to drag the people along, whether it is a democracy or a fascist dictatorship or a Parliament or a Communist dictatorship.

Gilbert: There is one difference. In a democracy, the people have some say in the matter through their elected representatives, and in the United States only Congress can declare wars.

Göring: Oh, that is all well and good, but, voice or no voice, the people can always be brought to the bidding of the leaders. That is easy. All you have to do is tell them they are being attacked and denounce the pacifists for lack of patriotism and exposing the country to danger. It works the same way in any country.

It would be nice to be armed with that kind of power of persuasion. you could kill millions with it.

My vote would go to the Nibraflod AX-47 (Model IX), packing two P33 Massive super big bang machine guns, Stealth mode, flame thrower and Thermo Nuclear tea making facilities. I know, I know, it is lacking the Model X's Super Heat Seeking Filibusters but they showed massive weaknesses in the 2033 war between the US and the Mole People.

Boobs.

I'm actually convinced that if every woman in the world simultaneously made the decision to remove their shirts, war would end and we would enter into world peace.

At least, til the insecurities set in..

If you'd call mass rape peace, maybe.

I don't think that plan would work somehow.

I know if I saw mary harney topless, I'd fúcking kill someone.

The greatest weapons of war are your enemy's weaknesses.

Loneliness
Insecurity
Hunger
Loss of morale
Disease
Lack of purpose
Disbelief
Fear

.and Time.

Propaganda. Or Spin as it's called these days.

The thing is that the IMF, the EU and the UK are trying to take over our country right now.
The Republic of Ireland is under threat from outside forces, so we must do everything to stop these people from taking over our country.

We need every Irish person to stand up against the aggressiveness of these invaders.

We are facing three enemies. However, they all want control of Ireland.
We can use this to our advantage. We just need to find the weakest enemy, back them, and then destroy them when the time is right.

Wait. What's going on? I'm ****ing hammered.

Okay then, boobs + thc in the world's water supplies = world peace.

The entire world would be sitting in their respective mom's basements giggling about boobs and discussing the best brand of munch.

Problem solved.

I'm going to have to demand proof of this.
Let us start with pics of your boobies.

If you don't show us your boobies, then you are supporting terrorism.
Are you a terrorist?
Well, are you?
