“Watch medieval era civilization get nae nae’d by modern military for five minutes”

[GrandMasterNutBusterYoda]

When you're playing Civ and some how a guy already has modern military before you while you're still in the medieval ages.

[thattrickytrickster]

Imagine how terrifying it is for a knight, who trained his entire life and mastered the art of combat so effectively, lesser men are afraid to draw their swords. He built a physique worthy of praise, the strength comparable to an ox and the fighting tenacity of a wild animal.

He learns to command armies of similarly skilled men, formations that encircle the enemy. Truly, he has earned this position through hard work and dedication...

Only for him to be the first to be killed be .556 caliber bullets shot by someone who is 6 months into the job.

3:10 As someone with very basic first aid knowledge. I love this dude.

For those unaware, the common media trope of pulling out an impaled object is a REALLY bad idea in real life, because the object impaled within the injury, similar to a sink stopper, plugs the wound and creates pressure that significantly reduces bleeding, especially internally. An impaled object should be secured in place to prevent wiggling, and left for professionals in an environment where the bleeding can be properly controlled to remove and handle. In this situation, probably some sort of Field Hospital.

Back when I was a kid, I told my parents to buy me toy soldiers. To my surprise they brought a "modern military set" and a "medieval set". Lets just say the knights didn't stand a chance.

[ahirzy]

as a former army infantryman the tactics and room clearing used are very accurate and well done

"sir you can't just call in modern warfare killstreaks, this is the medieval period."
"that's cool and all but this AC130 is about to put the evil in medieval"

"And we have an A 10 warthog"

“Fuck your Honor, here’s modern military tactics” never felt better

[DoremiFasolatido]

Can you imagine the PTSD the survivors wind up with? That nobleman who lost limbs and an eye, was transformed by his experience. But he found his own way of getting through it. How many of these imperial soldiers just up and killed themselves later on because they kept reliving those nightmares again and again?

One thing you must admire about anime is the accuracy of the finer details of the military manoeuvres, the cuts in the parachutes the thump of 7.62x51mm ammunition. Virtually every details is accurate

[nutshot_brawler]

This anime took “one-sided” to a whole different level

"Strike fast, strike hard. Use a gun."
-Sun Tzu

[gymkhana]

Everything about this anime is so accurate in regards to modern military tactics and training. That's why I love it.
0:45 High and Low Technique to clear an intersection
0:51 Breaching Tactics for a small room CQB
1:18 Airborne Drop in a hostile environment
1:51 Dropping your gear before touching down
1:52 PLF (Parachute Landing Fall) a maneuver to prevent and minimize injury during landfall
3:11 First Aid Basics; never pull out an impaled item from an appendage (doing so may result in severe hemorrhage)

*Also note that the JDF seems to be using the GALIL rifle, an Israeli made rifle chambered in either 5.56 NATO or 7.62 Cartriges.. An older weapon but still very capable. (I remember in the beginning that they were bringing older weapons so as to limit cost and not worry about retrieval or lost to the enemy)

Movie: this is based off a true story

Also the movie:

[CJ-]

Honestly, the most unbelievable part of this whole anime was that they thought that a JSDF reservist and a couple of literal anime waifus could solo an entire American SEAL team. That’s some true fantasy right there. Lol.

[ross.neuberth]

I like the focus not just on the technological advantage but the overwhelming strategic/tactical superiority. Military strategy has evolved tremendously since the days of when knights on horse back rained supreme.

[thenasiudk]

This entire anime is basically an ad for army recruitment
