I think this is a great post and touches on deeper aspects of humanity and evolution. Do we honor the past and pay respects to the people who came before us and set us up for our current state? Or do we abandon these things, re evaluate, and focus solely on what’s needed now and in the future? Does spending too much time honouring past things and continuing traditions directly take away from building a better future?
Now Let’s apply those ideas to a military, imagine if we continued to honor the weapons and tactics from old wars more than focussing on new technologies and so on. What would that look like? Yeah you could still kill a guy with that old stuff, but at what point is it time to move on or commit to growth?
I’ll be honest this site has changed my feelings on technology a lot. Seeing good thermals in action and what they can do is very very exciting and makes learning woodsmanship sound incredibly boring and tedious in comparison. If I could be mowing down animals with superior tech like Rambo or infidel I would. No night hunting here so I gotta play the hand that’s dealt to me
