So you are squad leader being chased by the bad guys... you and your group jump in your EV jeep and guess what?

[Winco]

Yeah. Our military is so stupid. They don't have daily maintenance checks or anything!

The military knows fuck-all about logistics...

Agree with you.

Just another thread started by a pathetic RWI who searches the internet on a daily/hourly basis to find ANYTHING to bitch about.

Give the muck some credit. He spent 3 whole days on this flopper.

EVs are not combat ready...yet.

But they will be.

actually when you look at specialized combat vehicles that can run fast and silent for short missions they are more useable now as covert combat vehicles,,

the problem comes with long term total fleet use where a single tanker can supply hundreds of vehicles where electric cant,,

Funny story

Four soldiers are in a Jeep driving up a mountain road during the Korean War

Chicom artillery starts zeroing on the Jeep and the road is too narrow to turn around

The GI’s jump out of the Jeep, pick it up and turn it around

After which they race down the hill to safety

At the bottom of the road they tried to pick up the Jeep and couldnt get one tire off the ground

but it was cholked full of military generators,,,
for covert combat missions silence with speed is more important than what kind of fuel you use,,,

I like the idea of Hydrogen fuel, it is less likely to blow up as gasoline, and you can store more because it must be in a liquid state that condenses more than gas. When it burns though it produces water, not CO, which then has to be sent through a catalytic converter to add the extra O to make it CO2. The CC causes the engine to lose power while straight burning hydrogen you get more bang for your buck. Now all we have to do is convince the oil companies to rig for hydrogen instead of oil.

The idea is being floated...

Adrenaline does that.

when did I say anything about green??

you have to admit an ICE vehicle makes a lot more noise than a electric,,

a fast moving silent vehicle for covert missions just makes sense and electric can do that,,

ADA? American's with Disability Act? Now i understand why the Military is all fucked up.

The Military has always been kind of F'd up. The mission of a fighting organization is pretty clear but, in peacetime, we have always tried to run the military like a company. A really large, bloated, inefficient company that can't go out of business, no matter how much waste they produce.

When George Washington crossed The Delaware River to attack Hessian forces at Trenton NJ in that famous battle, the Navy of Philadelphia (yes, that was a real thing) wouldn't supply Washington with the boats he needed. Washington stole (militarily appropriated) heavy boats from a local ironworks to get his men and artillery across The Delaware River.

The major problem is with the Marxists because they dont want Fusion reactors at port cities that can generate a ton of electricity, thus lowering the cost of energy, but then provide the Hydrogen needed to fuel cars, because then the Marxists cant control the people, like they are trying to do with EV's and high gas prices. The poor and middle class are to suffer the Marxists because like good little sheep, those Joe Biden voters then must use public transportation like buses or light rail trains, get close with smelly ass people like Okaydokeyfine, and if you bus or tain doesnt get close to your work, then you have to walk quite a few blocks to get to your place of work, thus stepping over all the drugged out homeless people, that the Marxists so adore and round up when it is vote time.

That, and the fact, that no one has actually invented a fusion reactor yet.

Did you think this ^^^^ was quite witty?

 

[Leo123]

How yah gonna siphon electricity out of another battery during a war? These people are terminally stoopid.

I guess they'll have to carry fossil fuel powered generators.

 

[progressive hunter]

Did you think this ^^^^ was quite witty?

I pointed out to her that it was chocked full of military generators which is the same as a charging station,,

 

[progressive hunter]

the military always carries fossil fuel generators,,, great big expensive ones,,

 

[fncceo]

Did you think this ^^^^ was quite witty?

Let me explain how that worked. Actually, Afghanistan WASN'T full of EV charging stations but she conjectured that there were many.

That's called irony and it's a well-established witty rhetorical device.

 

[Leo123]

Not for electric vehicles. It's stupid to have to do that.
