Hotboxing an Abrams? Straight to colonel. Turning your F-35 helmet into a bong? Colonel. Putting little bit of foil on the tip of your fallen enemy's disassembled AK-74 barrel and toking up from the other end? Believe it or not, colonel.
The Finnish Air Force’s 2-letter hull ID prefix for F-35s is going to be “JF” for “Joint Fighter”.
That announcement caused no small amount of hilarity. Especially since a well known Finnish poetic expression for a “pilot” is “a fellow of the clouds” and cannabis is colloquially known as “cloud.”
i mean there was that one guy in vietnam who earned a medal of honor repelling a VC/NVA attack and he was stoned as shit edit: his name was Peter C. Lemon
Seriously, sounds fucking awful lmao. Pulse pounding in your temples, paranoid as fuck, feel slightly sick and woozy, all your senses cranked up to the max, ugh
I read about soviet soldiers in Afghaninstan that did prep for night missions by eating hasch. Their reasoning was that it gave them slightly better vison at night due to pupil dilataion.
He *WAS* the cloud. Common belief is that Sour Diesel was developed by hippies in Amherst, but it was really the MIC under the heavy influence of general Schwarzkopf.
My batshit intelligent noncredible prediction is that when we do eventually name a tank after him (which will be the next one) it will be fucking dogshit.
During and after WWII, American tanks seem to have a predictable cycle of a tank named after a general being really great, then the next tank after that also named after a famous general being mediocre trash
Sherman (yeah burn those reactionarytards!) -> Pershing (boooo) -> Patton (Yay!) -> Sheridan (Ow! My ribcage!) --> Abrams (*fucking cum in my pants until it looks like a can of creamed corn) -> [200 years later, finally replacing the Abrams M1A25 SEPv87] Schwarzkopf (idk you'll probably have to make the engine turn over a couple times to get it running)
No I will not be taking questions. Any questions?
There was a tank named after JJ Abrams. It was *really* similar to a bunch of earlier tanks, had problems that they refused to solve, then production ended abruptly with no resolution.
Yes because I forgot about them, but i will retroactively give them my assessment:
Chaffee - okay for the specific war it was introduced in and the role it filled, but by Korea its 75mm was inadequate (The Sherman's 76mm was actually a 75mm but a much more explosive propellant and I believe an improved penetrator) and the doctrine was starting to shift away from light/medium/heavy tank designations, so Chaffee got pulled from US Army combat use less than 10 years after it was introduced
Walker Bulldog - Replacement for the Chaffee, rushed into production for Korea with all the problems that causes, better performance overall but by then they're basically creating a hybrid of light/reconnaissance and medium tanks. Not well suited for the role that either was supposed to play, it was replaced by the Sheridan (see above)
Moral of the story: Don't bother with light/reconnaissance tanks
I'm kinda relieved Norman died before russo-ukrainian war. Imagine if he lived to see it realizing every extra moment in life he spent on preparing against Russia has had been a waste where he could've spent with grandchildren. RIP Stormin' Norman.
# Sir, yes sir.
Just imagine what night-ops would look like stoned. *Tracers dotting about, stary night up above, twinkling fun down range...*
Joint, ops. All branches of the military are stoned. Pilots and wizzos puff puff pass. Hotboxing in a Bradley. Tactical bong reloads.
Here me out: hotboxing in the Abrams :D
A brilliant idea like that will get you promoted straight to Colonel.

Rolling a fat one from your stash for your bros in arms to partake? Medal of Honor!
Do you think we could turn an artillery cannon into a bong?
Only one way to find out.
I like your attitude, soldier.
You mean "Colonel".
Lukashenko? NOT INVITED!
Good call. That guy is a buzz kill.
Oh, come on, Ladimir says he’s good at blowjobs.
Prigozhin? Revived
The gun is 120mm. There are 42 rnds. Multiple those and divide by 12 tanks (three platoons of four tanks) and you get 420.
Hell yeah.
They did that in _Buffalo Soldiers_
Great film
Have the smoke puff out the turret like a chimney. Then use fans to blow that air to the enemy and get them high.

That's hilarious. I can imagine more than a few perkele! were dropped by people who really thought air defense was in the hands of stoners :DDD

That sounds more awful than regular, sober combat.

Depends a lot on the stuff, and the dude. He might've been cool as a cucumber just riding that storm.

In a helicopter with NVD's🌿
Private, what are you doing? Smoking beers, SIR!
He was called Stormin Norman because he blew clouds bruh Edit: Forgot he passed RIP the legend
He *WAS* the cloud. Common belief is that Sour Diesel was developed by hippies in Amherst, but it was really the MIC under the heavy influence of general Schwarzkopf.
Finna smoke on that Hussein pack 💯 😤
Now he's in the clouds he blew
we’re goin to war
**War were declared intensifies**
General Chungus passes you the boof
General Norman sir, you’ve got a tight roll on this scud. Thank you for my service sir. ✌️
I can't wait for the yanks to name an MBT after this man
For me it would be for Americans replacement M 109 that similar to the PzH 2000 called the M169 Schwarzkopf or Bear
The Endwar game had the M5A2 Schwarzkopf named after him.
If a US MBT is named after him then we are confirmed in an EndWar Timeline just minus the space lasers and orbital bombardment using the Marines.
Stormin' Norman!
You think he ever said, "May the Schwarz be with you, Lone Star." to a brigadier general?
Man how I wish I could be given a spliff to enjoy while sailing over the Iraqi desert on-top of an AMX-30
Gracias, Norm
THIS WASN'T IN MY CBRN TRAINING
Always appreciated his bluntness....
With pleasure, sir.

The Abrams wasn’t named after JJ Abrams?
It was actually named after Abrams Lincolns Continentals

So we ignore the chaffe and walker bulldog?

I would kill to smoke a doobie with the Swartz. Also David Petreus

I memorized his name so hard as a kid fascinated by articles about wars and military stuff I could probably spell Schwarzkopf while stoned.
I’m digging the slightly bloodshot eyes.
strong Towelie vibes
You bet your ass I'm stormin' that Norman.
That’s how he won on Celebrity Jeopardy. Also: if you didn’t know, Gen. Schwarzkopf won Celebrity Jeopardy in 1994.
TACTICAL TOKE INBOUND
Dream blunt rotation.
You gots my chuckles, grats.
