Questions from the Legion

If you were to make anything possible into a technical, what would it be and why

I joined up just to ask this question, and I've asked it on the Discord thread but I'm impatient to know: WHAT IS YOUR FAVOURITE DINOSAUR? Mine is the Pachycephalosaurus, because I love things that headbutt.

You get to tattoo Trump's fat ass. My proposal of "Fat Boy" and "Little Man" was rejected as "too lame". Run wild!

If you had to have a body pillow of one historical donkey, who would you choose?

Pictures of the hosts and guest hosts (Joe, Liam, Nate, Tom, etc.) are hard to find online, so it’s hard to match up faces with voices. Rather than ask you to compromise your privacy, can you describe each other in the most accurate, and yet slightly derogatory, way possible? For example, someone said I looked like Steve Urkel, if he went to community college.

Gauntlet thrown, best sandwich

What is the weakest (non-venomous) beast that could handily defeat you in a cage match?

Just listened to your pod on the Night Witches of WW2. After I realized I had been listening to the Sabaton song written about them and although cringe as hell loved it way more after realizing that. That leads to my question do you have a similar cringe song/band that you listen to as of late?

If you made a Cybertruck technical, what shitty gun would you pair with said shitty vehicle?

Really stupid question from me, a non military listener, don't even play CoD but is an absolutely thirsty ho for Ghost (what can I say? I like a tall dude with a nice voice, a face i can't see, and a snarky sense of humor): any opinions on the whole discourse on himbofying characters from blatant military propaganda video games? https://kotaku.com/call-of-duty-mw2-ghost-hot-tiktok-bimbo-thirst-trap-1849762466

Have you played a video game where the story /connection to the characters genuinely upset you? I got very invested in the original red dead redemption. fuck the Bureau of investigation god damn feds.

Which videogame world, would you rather live in?

Would you rather go on 2 year long arctic exploring expedition to find some passage in the late 1800s early 1900s, you get to be an officer or serve for 10 years on a nuclear submarine not with war or anything going on, just spending majority of your life in a boat.

Which pre gunpowder army do you think would be the most effective against slow walking zombies, you have to bash/sever the brain to kill them, but they still take normal human damage.

If you could time travel a commander from history, to do a Mark Bankston on knowledge fight styled interview, who would it be.

1v1 boxing match against one current world leader. Who you fighting?

Do you have plans for covering anymore battles/campaigns that are older? Some of my favorites are the Japanese Civil War Battle of Nagahsino and the Three Kingdoms Battle of Chibi.

Question From The Legion....with football season in full swing, what world leaders, military leaders or soldiers (in all of history, not just present day) would you choose to be your offensive, defensive and special teams coordinators? The first episode I listened to was "Voyage of the Damned" from the Russo-Japanese War Series when my buddy put on during a long car trip. Instantly hooked! I've loved going back through old episodes. You guys are great!!!

What's the sketchiest situation you've ever been in, in a shitty car. Mechanical, social, etc...

Okay, this is a serious question… no “if you were a breakfast cereal, which would you be?” stuff. What the @&#$ is going on with senior officers within the U.S. military? Anyone who served in the enlisted ranks knew guys who were “out there”… be it due to poor education, cultural background, or toxic masculinity, there were always those guys with deep seated anger and mistrust about any and all, entertaining all sorts of conspiracies laced with some good old racism. Not shocked by that. I am disturbed by the evidence of Q-Anon adjacent fans within the senior ranks of the U.S. armed forces. Michael “where we go one we go all” Flynn was a frigging Lt. General. Doug Mastriano, currently running for Governor in Pennsylvania, retired as a Coloenl. He has espoused Q-Anon beliefs and has an official “prophet” on his campaign committee. Election denier Phil Waldron was a full Colonel. These don’t seem to be outliers. Not suggesting political correctness is a requirement for a commission, but some grounding in reality should be part of any promotional process - “Has your Wayfair shipment ever included a small child?”, “When was the last time you saw a Democrat drain a baby of Adrenochrome?”… stuff like that. Did you guys find any evidence of crazy ass stuff or is it some secret cabal that meets in the anteroom in the officer’s mess? Seems like it merits some scrutiny….
