/jp/ - Otaku Culture

There was this one time the mods posted giga puddi on all the boards and we went to war with the rest of 4chan it was the epic win.

We're at war right now with a lot of different boards.

My grandpa blew up Japanese ships.

Yes,

1992-1995

Luckily for me the scum were defeated and could never seize our city,

I listened to the sound of artillery every night before sleeping and played with military helicopters going to the front above my head when I was a little kid.
I kinda found the noise, shaking windows and pretty flashes cool. Of course we weren't directly affected by it.

>>8864516

And sites. Currently, they're puppet states of a larger enemy.

I just hope our president doesn't become an appeaser.

>>8864507
Has your unpatriotic commie loving ass already forgotten what I did for you, you ungrateful hand lotioning douche nozzle.

>>8864521

War. War never changes.

>>8864576
Especially if you run a company called Activision.

>>8864552
>they're puppet states of a larger enemy.

I have, in fact. I'm probably a little older than most posters on /jp/. I'm originally Croatian, and was 20 years old in 1991, and that really says it all.

>>8864521
Where?

I think ZUN!bar did

>>8864591
Bosnia

I have soldiers and armored vehicles stationed a block away from my home because kids in USA must have their drugs. Experienced at least 3 shootings and had to stay in cover once.

My hate for addicts grows more with each passing day.

Luckily, no. I really dislike it when people online say stuff like “oh man, this shit is too boring, we need another world war!”.

>>8864591
You are old enough to be /jp/'s mother.

>>8864507
yep

Man, that one part on Zone of the Enders 2, where you have to save all the little LEV units when they're crying out for help and shit.

Fuck, that was intense.

>>8864610
He just played Killzone 3.

Shitty times /jp/
shitty times

Captcha: ichcam September

>>8864680

I never use Geyser on them, it's too much trouble. Can't be helped.

>>8864741
Why is swiss army relevant to war experience?

>>8864775
because it's obligatory, everybody must go unless you got only one leg.
And we are on /jp/ could you imagine how horrible that was. ;_;

>>8864797

It couldn't have been that bad. If anything, you were taught how to use a gun and a bit of discipline, both useful in the long run. My country abolished mandatory conscription, but I'm thinking of signing up anyway.

>>8864775
The swiss have the most paranoid prepared military of the planet. There's a good reason Hitler invaded fucking everyone except them.
He thought he could win against the Soviet Union, but he knew he couldn't take Switzerland.

>>8864591
Where you fighting or civilians my family members were all fighting.

I remember when it all started to go hell first Slovenia , then it started in Croatia and all of a sudden shit was going off in our front yard

>>8864807
Switzerland strong.
No one fucks with them.

>>8865096
HVO seriously?

>>8865116
Yes HVO, had a uncle in HOS aswell.

>>8865139
Should have all went HOS.

>>8865143
Yeah now that you look back on it definetly HOS but it collapsed in 1993 due to the backstab.

Yes. I had a bee problem a few weeks ago. Fortunately I managed to take every one of those commie bastards down. No survivors.

>/z/ ban

>>8865143
HOS definetly had bad ass insignia.

cheer up bosnian kid

What's with all the Yugoslavian veterans in here?

>>8865197
I am still analy ravaged about them selling out Posavina

Derventa,Bosanski Brod all for nothing...

damn balkan guys

I like the idea of shell-shocked veterans turning into weeaboos instead of raging drunkards.

>>8865419
You're an idiot.

We slav now.

>>8865437

You're surprised? /jp/ was always the most intelligent and most depressed board on 4chan. That's like the definition of a slav.

>>8865419
Some of them do....

>>8865419
The image says it all.

>>8865454
In before urban myth bullshite about shields.

>>8865419

That's me, more or less. After getting back from the war I couldn't interface with society anymore (not that I ever had any particular gift for it). I spend my days on /jp/ now with no plans for the future but to take it easy.

>>8865446
What slavic nations will take non citizens into their military?

Bonus points for not being as anti gaijin as Russia.

The HVO aka Croatian Defence Council were some of the main ones who harshed against the Muslims in that little whatever it was, I'm loathe to say Civil War...but whatever.

Anyways, LOTS of fucking dudes went to jail over some sick ass shit that nobody else even got so much as a phonecall about.

I even remember like....okay like there were these Joes and they got captured. And who did they send to go collect them?

Fucking Jesse Jackson. No shit. I mean it was no secret and we'd heard about it. I was high off my ass on some pretty wicked H and I remember giggling like it tickled my dick. I mean we were even watching TV and shit and like they had Jesse Jackson praying with people and it was like two white dudes and a spic if I remember. Fuck. I should probably google that shit. It was like "omg Clinton sent a nigger to get them back." But I remember thinking it the source of lulz. It was like in Belgrade or some shit and he went and met with fucking Milosevic over that shit. I mean they were like spics or some shit. Anyways it made me ponder...

"If some nigger tried to free me from some shit, would I take it?" and....hmm...

I still don't have the answer to that. But man....good times.

And the women. HOLY SHIT. Everyone dogs on slavic girls but mother mary holy hannah they had some nice looking women.

Nope, no slanty eyed bitches. No nagging nor whining nor anything. I mean they had a few blondes and they had like black haireded girls..and it was pretty all right.

Hell I even ran across some, like, U.N. dudes from like Germany like army guys. And you know they knew I was with contractor and I mean I struck up a conversation and I mean it was fucked up because some of them had even been Ossies and some of them had even been near some of my old neighborhood. Lotta younger guys though. Like...they'd just gotten in Army and were pretty cherry. It was kind of a big deal because that was the first time really that Germany since the War had gotten involved militarily in another country.


What a lot of people DON'T realize that weren't there was that you had a lot of people change their alliances pretty quickly. I mean, unless you were just a hardcore Muslim...I mean it didn't really mean a fuck who you rolled with really. I mean there really was no real "nation" to speak of. Just you know...people.

Realistically there were guys who just showed the fuck up from Europe just wanting an excuse to break shit. I mean like...no experience, no anything. Just wanting to shoot somebody. Lot of them didn't last too long though. And then you had the ghouls...and the gorehounds. Then you had like religious whackos on both ends.

But like...it wasn't so bad. I mean...like, I met a few pretty cool people. It's been YEARS now, but sometimes I wish I could see how they are doing.

Part of me wants to go visit again actually. I mean, not like ..you know other places. FUCK those places.

But like the Balkans, part of me wants to go visit. Just to see what's around.

Does that sound weird?

>>8865446
Slavs are defined as intelligent?
>>8864507
I am thanking God everyday that I haven't and contemplate how terrible it would be. Then again I can hardly see who would attack Canada.

>>8865437
You're no slav unless you can squat like one.

>>8865511
There are people who can't do that?

>>8865514
fatasses and americans

>>8865514
The important part is keep the entire sole of the foot on the ground, not just the tip like when crouching. And doing this while not falling over backwards when lowering your body is hard.

>>8865503

Doesn't sound weird to me at all. I still have dreams about Afghanistan and I don't think I'll be able to rest until I've returned - it's an almost overwhelming desire at times. Maybe in a couple decades it'll have calmed down and I can sit my old ass down in a couple places and have a moment to myself. Seems like that's my only option since I can't see myself going back into the Army and I'm probably unqualified to do contractor work. I guess everyone's got something they have to live with.

>>8865517
It's not easy. Notice for example how the guy in the picture at the fron left >>8865511 can't do it properly, his sole is off the ground.

>>8865496
>The HVO aka Croatian Defence Council were some of the main ones who harshed against the Muslims in that little whatever it was

Not true in Posavina.

>>8865523
I never knew it was hard for some people.
Everyone where I grew up sat around like that.

>>8865507
Denmark

>>8865503
>And then you had the ghouls...and the gorehounds.
What do you mean?

>>8865540
Well maybe it's normal when you live east of Germany. There is a reason it's called slavsquat.

No, and I don't plan on experiencing it.
But a little part of me secretly wants a major conflict to start so I can get out of this boring loop of a lifestyle (doesn't everyone).
With the world as it is right now, I doubt that'll happen.
The new generation is a peaceful one.

>>8865554
That's a ridiculous claim. History has proven time and time again that you can't predict such chains of events.

>>8865554
Kind of how I think,
I'm doing ok I guess, and I'd be pretty worried about my family in a war, but sometimes I think I'd rather see shit crumble and explode than slowly crawl to death in a bed.

I wonder if I'm too old to hunt Chechens.

Sounds like all the other /jp/ers who did it have already done their tours though.

>>8865559
In this day and age, I'd think everyone who can do things have the power to suppress the ones that want to stir up trouble.
History can't catch up to the present.

>>8865554
>>8865564
People only wish for this when they believe they could come out of such events unscathed.

>>8865573
Not really.
If I got to shoot some dudes in the head, then get shot myself and die, I wouldn't be upset about it.

>>8865579
You will be if it's a fellow /jp browser.

>>8865575
Of course. I'm sure if you'd ask every american if they would go to war against Afghanistan anytime soon on 9/10 they'd all say yes because unpredictable events unfolding with grave consequences are totally a thing of the past.

>>8865589
I guess I'm talking about massive events like another world war or whatever.
Wars are going to happen sure, just not hueg ones.

>>8865554
>>8865564
>>8865579

i wished the thread would've lasted just a little longer without people like you showing up, then again you are probably just kids

>>8864668

>>8865597
Then keep going with the thread and stop whining.

>>8865597
I'll refrain from posting about such things then.
I'm sorry I bothered you.

>>8865604
Thread's over, bub.
Our five veterans have chimed in and now all that's left is kid's corner.

>>8865595
I'm not sure if I should laugh at you being this cocky. World wars are a silly thing in history books, no way us modern and civilized humans would do that again, right?

>>8865607
You talk about "kids" yet when someone with an opinion you dislike shows up, you bitch and moan about how they ruined the thread.

Sounds like a fucking hypocrite to me.

>>8865616
Sure thing, kid.

>>8865616

THIS MEANS WAR

>>8865606

Most men are guilty of this kind of chestbeating - untried soldiers possibly most of all. There is, however, that element of putting your money where your mouth is for civilians.

"Anyone, who truly wants to go to war, has never truly been there before." It's an excusable immaturity in the soldiery as they're next in line for the meatgrinder, but somewhat distasteful when found in citizens.

Somewhat like Afghanistan has been called a special operations "playground," this war is unique in that American citizens can sign up for short periods of time and experience it for themselves in an almost compartmentalized way. Many soldiers are in the army for less than four years, only deploy once, then segue back into civilian life - almost as if it had never happened at all. Truly a war for the "video game generation". I'm not saying it's a particularly good idea, but if you truly want to see what it's like, the option is open to you.

I'm the first generation who was born after the fall of soviet union.
No wars for me.

>>8865629
And even then fighting in a war abroad is a vastly different experience than fighting on your home soil.

>>8865629
What kind of person would find a guided tour through His Holy Imperial American Army as an appealing thing?

>>8865623
It's time to take your medicine and go to sleep, grandpa.

>>8865629
But I'm not American.
My first post was actually to express how glad I am for not having to fight in a war, but I guess I worded it incorrectly and now everyone things that I want something to happen.
I can't write very well.

>>8865641

Someone with an unhealthy preoccupation with mortality who wants to look it square in the eye.

>>8865657
But there are more reasonable places to do that, for legitimate causes.

>>8865648

Sorry - my post wasn't intended to be specifically directed at you (I'm not really sure who it was directed to, now that I think about it). My mind doesn't work as well as it used to.

>>8865607
Still here. Just waiting. This image should start some conversation.

>>8865667

I'm not going to sully this thread by delving into the politics of what you're implying, so I'll just say that my post was my own personal reasoning - I was meaning to imply that the nature of decisions like that are personal and logically unassailable.

Colloquially, different strokes for different folks.

>>8865710
My point was that it's not really "war" going on there.
Sure, it isn't a theme park, but it's really just a place for people to go who want to stretch their trigger fingers.

>>8865727

I'm happy you understand my original point. Though you do realize that the people you're shooting at generally have guns too, right? Now that I think about it, I'm not sure I like what you're implying. Over the course of my year long deployment, my company spent months fighting a Taliban cell that utilized snipers, IEDs, and demonstrated consistently strong conventional infantry tactics in addition to standard asymmetrical warfare standards. We took 30% casualties in 3 months.

While there will never be a Battle of Stalingrad, the conflict in Afghanistan is no less a war than any other in history - it's just on a smaller scale.

>>8865770
I never said there was no risk involved.
After the initial deployment however, enemy combatants were neutered to a point that there is no risk of the Holy Empire losing it's grip on the area.

The conflict smacks more or paying bounties for Indian scalps, then holding out on Iwo Jima, or as you said, the Battle of Stalingrad.

>>8865788

Politics are irrelevant to a professional soldier - I'm in no position to comment on any of that.

>>8865813
>Politics are irrelevant to a professional soldier
Only if that soldier is a mercenary.

>>8865816

Soldiers fight for their countries, mercenaries fight for the highest bidder. There is a distinction.

>>8865824
How canned.

>>8865830

Were you expecting a treatise on the morality of war and the superiority of Mother America to all the heathen nations? I'm sorry to disappoint you.

What is Ustasa scum doing on /jp/?

>>8865839
If not politics, then you're only fighting for money.
That would make you a mercenary. If only a state sponsored one.

>>8865856

A mercenary is a person who takes part in an armed conflict, who is not a national or a party to the conflict, and is "motivated to take part in the hostilities essentially by the desire for private gain and, in fact, is promised, by or on behalf of a party to the conflict, material compensation substantially in excess of that promised or paid to combatants of similar ranks and functions in the armed forces of that Party".

Here, have some Geneva Convention.

>>8865871
Seems about right, what exactly is the issue here?

Stop bumping this newshits.

>>8865877

>motivated to take part in the hostilities essentially by the desire for private gain

The operative phrase in regards to your point.

>>8865880
That was precisely my point.

>>8865888

We have nothing more to discuss then. I don't know why I let you bait me into this in the first place.

>>8865875
No respect.

>>8865901
Remember to take it easy, okay?

>>8865914

That's the idea.

Don't forget about me.

Afghanistan was in no way far-fetched, considering USA is big imperial power. Fucking arabs is what imperial powers have been doing for the last couple hundred years.
World wars however needed a long established tension on a global scale, multitude of imperialistic rulers and plenty of stupidity. All imperial powers were more or less dismantled over the last hundred of years, Europa just doesn't have the weight anymore and Russia/China are still far from being on the level.
While War War 3 is not impossible, surely it isn't happening during the next generation, as there is no background for it.
Current world balance between would need to be heavily destabilized in some way before WW even becomes an option.
So yeah, the new generation is indeed peaceful one.

This explains why nationalism is so high on /jp/ we got fucking
Bosnian and Croatian war veterans and I am not talking about those pussy ass UN peace keeping faggots but the real deal slavs.

I'm a veteran of WWW1 (World Wide Web War 1) back in '06.

>>8865492
They have autism bux in Bosnia?

>>8870365
No but war veteran bux

>>8870365

I'm not Bosnian, I'm American.

Always wanted to through soldier training, but I'm too paranoid about a real conflict starting before I get the fuck out of there. What was your training like ?

>>8870365
Yes, but you must become a wizard first.

>>8870611
>What was your training like ?

I was given a G3A3 and instucted in about 5 minutes so yeah volksturm "training".

What does our balkan war veterans think of Hezbollah?

Crazy balkanites

>mfw I'm actually in the middle east right now and I love my life

so many misconceptions about the military it's hilarious

when I leave in a few weeks I get to take 30 days of paid leave where i'm going to spend the majority of my time drinking and going to the arcade

>>8865955
>>8865914
Most Mercs fight for political means as well as for monetary gain. The old Blackwater USA only fought when in the interest of America and themselves.

Most American soldiers I would consider mercs if not sponsored by our government. Too many of us join for educational or medical benefits only.

>>8873362

I'm not sure if you're serious or not. I'm not sure in what capacity you're over there, what your job is, or even where you are, but if you'd been in Iraq in, say, 2004, you'd be singing a different tune (or more more likely just out on patrol).

>>8877885
He's out there now. Now is calm. All my buddies say the same thing. The middle east is the high life.
