The depictions I've seen of the Battle at Normandy have always really bothered me. Where was the overwhelming air and navel support? Why didn't they bring any cover so the grunts could walk up the beach without without getting picked off like fish in a barrel? Those U-boat doors looked pretty damn sturdy! Why not design them so they can be taken off and walked up the beach at an angle so machine-gun fire deflected off of it? Everything about it just seemed so nonsensical and fucked up.
It was like watching this episode of Futurarma!
The Killbots? A trifle! It was simply a matter of outsmarting them!
You see, Killbots have a preset kill limit!
Knowing their weakness, I sent wave after wave of my own men at them...
Till they reached their limit and shut down!
Seriously though...
Kinda seems like we employed that exact strategy of superior numbers with complete disregard for human life.
The best way to weaken opposition is to separate the men from the family. No strong male model. Do this for several generations and the breakdown is bad. Then, send strong men to die in foreign lands. Men who would be more prone to opposing the whims of evil sociopaths who subject the people under their heel with violent oppression. They know exactly what their doing. The icing is they fund all sides of the war, sit back and make profit while those who best could stop them kill one another for them.
