OMG HOW COULD YOU DO THIS TO US?!?!
Rite in the Rain makes amazing notebooks! I carry one all the time for work
Structure doesn't mean authoritarian by default but I see what you mean. Maybe like a reserve/volunteer fire department deal?
You have a normal life but you have some equipment you keep at home or in a car. Rifle, pistol, armor, drones, medical, packs etc, but the heavy equipment is in a dedicated area. Most equipment is self bought but with standardized calibers, mags etc for simplified logistics. Routine training and maintenance is done weekly, larger more objective focused training every quarter or so.
The key would be having armed people outside of that group, not only to boost defensive capability of the community in an emergency but to provide a deterrent to misuse of the defense force for anything but countering external threats. If you don't have that, in the words of a Clint Eastwood movie, "there are two types of people, those with loaded guns and those who dig"
I think if the assassination attempt was successful (not that I hope for or advocate such things, just talking about potential outcomes of that event) we would be months deep into a Civil War by now
Biden starts failing in debates to the point even supportive democrats admit it. Trump looks like he has a clear tip in the scales he needs to win. A few weeks go by and suddenly Trump is dead on the stage in Pennsylvania. Before the blood dries people are pointing fingers and theories form. Seeking justice becomes seeking revenge, tit for tat violence that escelates faster than anyone can gather facts. Chaos.
20mm vulcan guns on most us jets, because you can't jam a bullet
lol yup one thing I can't ignore are helicopter and plane sounds. There could be an actual friggin blackhawk landing (Jack Ryan is a perfect example) and they edit in incorrect sounds!
When the movie shows anything to do with your job/hobbies
If we're judging all products by the personalities of people who run them we'd have nothing left lol
There was a movie I found a while ago called The Train made in the 60s. It's about (you guessed it!) a train. It has a full load of stolen French artwork headed for Nazi Germany to be sold.
Aside from the immense cultural value the money could also be used to fund a whole division's worth of equipment so the French Resistance is tasked with stopping it, ideally without blowing it up. They also have to mark the car roofs to keep allied strafing runs from destroying them.
I had never heard of it but it was surprisingly awesome. There is tense sabotage, full on practical effects air raids and train derailments, railroad repair shown with real equipment etc. Not the best ever imo but I enjoyed it
