BF2S Forums Fucking Outrageous

Seriously, the Taliban are superior in numbers but not exactly in skill level or equipment. Their aim is to do as much damage as they can isn't it?

According to your last sentence their aim is to confuse. If they want to be able to live to attack again they need a retreat. The detonation devices they use are line of sight.

And seeing as there is almost no way of detecting the guy who detonated the bomb (if it needed a detonater) the best option is to blow up the middle ones, hoping for more damage, and it would create a bit more confusion than blowing up the last one.

AGAIN, that would depend on the circumstance.

Nice quotes, but near useless.

It's an analogy, not a quote. Your whole "Fucking outrage" is based on speculation. And that is near useless.

look we can sit here and discuss airmchair combat stuff all we want but that won't get us anywhere, what's fact is:

the circumstance you're providing basically never happens. You can't really spot someone if you don't know wether it was a bomb on detonation or one you'd have to put pressure on, that's one. Two: you can't really find these people that detonated it in open area. If you move in a group and comb out the area you will be too late and he's probably long gone, if you split up you're stupid because you don't know if there are more of the enemy hiding behind bushes - thus risking the lives of your men even more. This line of sight can be hundreds of meters for all you know.

The Taliban causes damage, and confusion to get away. Suicide bombers are there to get themselves blown to bits not the people who place IEDs.

my outrage is that noone took the initiative to atleast change the name of this kid before he got sent out, there's a good chance that the Taliban knew who he was _that_ is speculation. What they should have done however is make sure he wasn't such a damn easy target to begin with. And now parlement waves it all off saying the Taliban couldn't've possibly known who he was - well I'll tell you what, over there, the odds of that are very slim and I will bet my ass on it that they did.

analogy serves no purpose in my book, so obvious even a child could think of them too. And 99% not viable in actual combat, let alone that it gives any considerable value to modern warfare / fighting a guerilla.

Congrats.. you just did a big circle only to end up in the same spot (more specualation). If anything you made the argument of uncertainty/intent for me. Thank you, I wish more people made it this easy.

Says you. Not obvious enough to be able to discern the difference between an analogy and a quote though. I'll see if I can find a child to explain it to you.
