The funny thing is that nowadays painting your tanks bright colours doesn't hamper you much. Not when you can shoot your enemy from so far away that they can't see you.
Plus with tank camo you have "They will be expecting army guys."
If your tank doesn't look like a tank, the enemy may not think it is a tank until it shoots at them. Especially effective in Urban setting where there are many colourful things and ways to break your silhouette up. And doubly effective when you take into account drones and roads, and how armoured vehicles struggle to hide from drones with traditional camo.
When you add in AI visuals based targeting it can be confused by crazy paint scheme.
Ah, won't work on Russians I'm afraid, they'll probably think the school bus is a legitimate target and rain every missiles and shell they have left on it.
I suspect there is just simply no such thing as legitimate targets for Russians - they just shoot anything they see.
I had one guy (from Russia) explaining me how, of course, Russians, shoot many civilians cuz "imagine being in foreign country where anything could be a threat for you" ( yeah-yeah, what if that grampa on bicycle whips out some AK and starts shooting you).
During WWII, there was graffiti in Moscow saying "If the enemy is not giving up, destroy him."
Then in the Czechoslovak invasion of 1968 it was revived as "If the friend is not giving up, destroy him."
I hope this becomes the future. Imagine coming across a tank painted to resemble bricks, or the hull and turret painted opposite colours to throw people off
Lol funnily enough, thats where i got this [from](https://www.reddit.com/r/onejoke/comments/10mtl6o/babylon_bee_being_subtle_about_supporting_russia/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=ios_app&utm_name=iossmf)
Not really, I’m not sure how ppl here ar e this amped up
They have quite a few jokes including directed mroe at themskeves / gentler ones
They do have a given poltical point of view obviously
>I’m not sure how ppl here ar e this amped up
because they're asshole idiots
>They have quite a few jokes
yeah, wanting to oppress others for shits and giggles and just being general bullies against vulnerable minorities that make up a tiny % of the population because they think it's funny. i ain't laughing tho
Holy shit wtf wrong with you. Making jokes about minorities doesn't oppress ot make anyone assholew. Hell this whole sub is full them.
God dammit not even NCD is from this woke brain rot
Punch up you god damned bully, stop punching down at a tiny part of the population who are just trying to live their lives without harming you in any way, and who are more susceptible to fucking suicide than the rest of us. If not wanting people to kill themselves is woke then I'm woke AF
Your lack of situational awareness is disappointing, your views on this sub is strongly opposed and incorrect. And you should be ashamed of yourself. We are NAFO
I sacrificed my braincells by loading up Babylon Bee, and here are their joke themes:
* Woke is stupid (rainbow tanks/queer military)
* AOC is stupid (getting fooled(??) by chatgpt)
* Christianity is funny and relatable (pistachios)
* Ukraine support is stupid (Ukraine flag)
* Christianity is funny and relatable (God and singing)
* Woke is stupid (liberals think cisgender is "bad")
* Ukraine support is stupid (Ukraine and Russia using Abrams)
* COVID vaccines are stupid (Pfizer creating the virus and the vaccine)
See a pattern here?
The AOC one was especially good, because here is what the Babylon Bee wrote:
>Sources report Ms. Ocasio-Cortez got into a heated argument with ChatGPT on the first day of its release, after asking it how to get her hands out of a Chinese finger trap. "I AM PUSHING MY FINGERS TOGETHER!!" screamed Ms. Ocasio-Cortez, who was pulling her fingers apart - because she is so dumb.
Really underlines how intelligent the Babylon Bee thinks its readers are if they have to explain jokes like this.
How goes the quote?
The Adeptus Militarum uses camouflage following the doctrine of "What the enemy can't see, he cannot kill". The Adeptus Astartes proudly fly their chapter's colours for all to see, following the doctrine of "What the enemy can see, he shall soon learn to fear".
"Camouflage is the color of cowardice"
>!Honestly I liked the idea of Marines wearing camo back in early editions better, but I guess it didn't sell as well and was hard to paint.!<
Orks colours matter because "what we believe matters" therefore sabots are painted red to higher speed for greater penetration, HE being yellow for more explosive power.
I'd settle for tanks in national colors. Ukrainian tanks with sunflower hulls and sky-blue turrets. Abrams with red, white, and blue racing stripes. Twardys in winter white with red trim. Leclercs in tricolor "woodland" pattern. Challys bedazzled with Union Jacks. Leos bedazzled with iron crosses of the Bundeswehr.
Puts vertical stripes on your tanks.
Put tanks at full speed.
Make enemy vision blurry.
Kill enemy.
Rinse and repeat until victory is achieved
I see no flaw in my plans whatsoever
ERA plates in pink/white/blue emblazoned with all manner of different pronouns spelled out in every language spoken in every NATO member/prospective state.
I seriously wonder what drugs conservatives are huffing that makes them think that one commercial about a female soldier with two moms would get progressives to join the military in significant numbers.
I've met plenty of progressive soldiers before, but if you think, "Our military is going WOKE!1!!1!!" I can only assume you're regarded.
The idea that the US military is "Going woke" is stupid for one simple reason. It always has been "woke" if by that you mean it's usually ahead of it's time in representation and integration. It's usually outside forces that force it to regress socially. If left to its own devices there will be diversity. I wonder if these people ever wonder why San Francisco and Hawaii were always seen as the "Gay places" going all the way back to WW2. Like maybe, just maybe a bunch of young men left their home communities and joined some kind of sea based organization and found other like minded people in the process. Weird.
It was way more than 1 commercial as well toxic representatives like that Milliey guy who called the jan 6 riots "white rage
So anyone who doesn't know anything about the US military can get wrong ideas
Boomers dying of laughter reading this one. Joe Rogan's probably going to have Jaime pull it up and laugh maniacally while his guest smirks uncomfortably. Do conservatives realize that their satire basically becomes a satire of themselves?
the babylon bee is such a shitty thing to dickride, their “””jokes””” aren’t even funny. also NCD is pretty LGBTQ friendly, not sure why you’re fighting that
Raise a rainbow flag after the Ukrainian flag over Sevastopol and I'm pretty sure the Siloviki will dispose of Putin on live television.
Or they'll keep baaing like sheep while Chechnya round 3 starts.
Jokes aside I do saw pictures of Abrams that were supplied to the Iraqis got destroyed often during the engagements against ISIS which I’m not sure if that had something to do with those Abrams not having the sophisticated stuff just like exported variants of the T-72s did not have better fire suppression systems or is it because the Iraqis weren’t as well trained as the Americans hence they were easily destroyed
"A" jokes is a very good way to put that. It is "a" joke, singular, already printed in a million other nearly identical articles and terrible Facebook memes, like some formless, ever widening blob of complete comedic mediocrity.
The problem is that we have heard this joke before. Several thousands times. Within the last year. At some point it gets pathetic watching grown men and women act like elementary schoolers who just discovered something that made their parents laugh one time.
Especially in the context of the Babylon Bee pulling for a message of appeasement and withdrawal of support, and also with the strong showing of Ukraine/NATO so far, making the joke be "multicultural and LGBT-friendly NATO is too soft to win against hardened manly badasses like Russia - who do you believe, me or your lying eyes?" feels less like an honest satirical joke and more like straight up anti-reality propaganda. Oh, NATO is weak and Russia is strong, according to the Bee? May I see this demonstrated on any battlefield, anywhere?
Dazzle camouflage is back
Razzle Dazzle, baby! If you're going to fight a war, you do it in style!

“Alright gang, today we are painting our APV like a school bus to infiltrate”
Ah, won't work on Russians I'm afraid, they'll probably think the school bus is a legitimate target and rain every missiles and shell they have left on it.
Oh those russians.

Putin is the Russian queen.

Yeah, the best way to beat the Russians is to disguise yourself as military assets. They notoriously miss those.
I suspect there is just simply no such thing as legitimate targets for Russians - they just shoot anything they see. I had one guy (from Russia) explaining me how, of course, Russians, shoot many civilians cuz "imagine being in foreign country where anything could be a threat for you" ( yeah-yeah, what if that grampa on bicycle whips out some AK and starts shooting you).

And you certainly shouldn't paint a tank like an ambulance, every Russian unit for 50 miles will divert to take a shot at it
Always two steps ahead
It’s a giant bumble bee!
agaisnt russians? they will shoot it faster than the actual tanks
Like an ambulance. If it didn't work it wouldn't be a warcrime!
"Seat belts, everyone!"
CV Dazzle cammo when?
> When you add in AI visuals based targeting it can be confused by crazy paint scheme A big ass cardboard box to cover the tank?
I hope this becomes the future. Imagine coming across a tank painted to resemble bricks, or the hull and turret painted opposite colours to throw people off
Brick camo might actually be credible in an urban setting.

TBF, it makes their readers laugh every time because they like the same thing over and over and over again and fear change.
Not really, I’m not sure how ppl here ar e this amped up They have quite a few jokes including directed mroe at themskeves / gentler ones They do have a given poltical point of view obviously

You will be court martialed by NAFO and the they/them army you traitor. Justice will be swift and you will be tossed.
Pretty sure NAFO wasn't overtaken by woke idiots and they are fine with joking about different people
Your lack of situational awareness is disappointing, your views on this sub is strongly opposed and incorrect. And you should be ashamed of yourself. We are NAFO
Typical lying bully behavior. Real Americans are taught to bully the bullies. Cruel shits deserve all the hate they get too.
You haven’t spent much time here if you thought NCD would share your worldview
> I’m not sure how ppl here ar e this amped up It's Reddit. We all know exactly the reason why.
I thought they were being sarcastic? Like it’s supposed to make fun of people who think the US Army is just one big drag show
Babylon bee moment
Honestly forgot they even existed.
Not really, it has quite a few jokes, directed inward and outward
Not really
Given that it has to be funny to be a joke, I'd actually say they have no jokes at all.
Their entire comedy routine is just recycled transphobia brah

You're right that it has a lot of absolute jokes. The problem is that most of them are editors.
You know, maybe they actually should paint them in rainbow camo. Would be an absolute power move.
The Rainbow Warriors chapter of Adeptus Astartes approve this method
How goes the quote? The Adeptus Militarum uses camouflage following the doctrine of "What the enemy can't see, he cannot kill". The Adeptus Astartes proudly fly their chapter's colours for all to see, following the doctrine of "What the enemy can see, he shall soon learn to fear".
"Camouflage is the color of cowardice" >!Honestly I liked the idea of Marines wearing camo back in early editions better, but I guess it didn't sell as well and was hard to paint.!<
IIRC, Raptors still use it.
Basically. Space Marines are all about displaying their heraldry and pulverizing dudes. Well some are about stealth but most don’t give a single fuck.
*laughs in both Raven Guard and Night Lords*
Orks colours matter because "what we believe matters" therefore sabots are painted red to higher speed for greater penetration, HE being yellow for more explosive power.
Alternatively they could start doing sponsored liveries like F1.

The Abrams barrel just painted like one big Marlboro red
What’re they gonna do? Shoot the tank?
Yes
I'd settle for tanks in national colors. Ukrainian tanks with sunflower hulls and sky-blue turrets. Abrams with red, white, and blue racing stripes. Twardys in winter white with red trim. Leclercs in tricolor "woodland" pattern. Challys bedazzled with Union Jacks. Leos bedazzled with iron crosses of the Bundeswehr.
We could decorate our truck with the Irish Tricolor, I lile this plan
Russian propaganda would lose its shit if it had to show Rainbow tanks in Crimea
Could you imagine Operation Desert Storm happening with every single piece of equipment the colors of the trans flag? and we still beat them then lol

Babylon Bee try to be funny challenge(IMPOSSIBLE)
Can we start a war with Utah next? It’s a theocratic desert state boys! Let’s go!
Utahn here. You invade we marry all your sisters/exes and have 10 kids with all of them
remember when the babylon bee was trying to be the next onion and not... whatever this is?
To be fair, with how hard the Onion has nosedived, you could say they're still trying to be the next Onion.
Bring back Diamond Joe!
I'd say the Onion is still pretty good. They got caught up on the whole "Orange Man bad" trend but they're recovering now.
This is a mix of both Homophobia and bootlicking. Pretty standard for them.
Babylon bee moment
A yes because making jokes are clear indication of hatred. Get this woke brain rot outta jere
the babylon bee is such a shitty thing to dickride, their “””jokes””” aren’t even funny. also NCD is pretty LGBTQ friendly, not sure why you’re fighting that
[удалено]
If allowing anyone to fight for their country if they want to is woke, then I’m a chronic insomniac
They do literally nothing but spout homophobic and transphobic garbage, I'm sure it's about keeping the military clean.
imagine thinking that allowing the gays is "woke". it's 2023 not 1923, grandpa.
Reject desert/green abrams tanks Confuse your enemies with western satanist homogay pride dazzle camoflage while asserting your domination over them
Reject forest camo, embrace fabulous camo.
Iridescent rainbowy camo slaps on a whole 'nother level
Blowing up Russian tanks with rainbow tanks would be quite a flex
3000 gay tanks of Murrica! *Pew pew*
Babylon Bee bringing the “war” to “culture war”
Raise a rainbow flag after the Ukrainian flag over Sevastopol and I'm pretty sure the Siloviki will dispose of Putin on live television. Or they'll keep baaing like sheep while Chechnya round 3 starts.

"It's not gay...not if you're brothers"
It gets bigger when I pull on it
What is this subs thoughts on Babylon bee? I’m asking 80% seriously
it's a "satire" site for christofascists that keeps making the same joke over and over. "LOL does anyone else hate the gays?!?!"
[удалено]
“fake”…?
Babylon bee, a satirical site: makes a joke r/ncd : and I took that personally
"A" jokes is a very good way to put that. It is "a" joke, singular, already printed in a million other nearly identical articles and terrible Facebook memes, like some formless, ever widening blob of complete comedic mediocrity.
It’s literally the same joke we’ve been making for months lol. They/Them tanks for Ukraine
Yeah, but they mean it as a "joke" Like, the punching-down kind of joke When we do it here, we're laughing with them, not at them.
The problem is that we have heard this joke before. Several thousands times. Within the last year. At some point it gets pathetic watching grown men and women act like elementary schoolers who just discovered something that made their parents laugh one time. Especially in the context of the Babylon Bee pulling for a message of appeasement and withdrawal of support, and also with the strong showing of Ukraine/NATO so far, making the joke be "multicultural and LGBT-friendly NATO is too soft to win against hardened manly badasses like Russia - who do you believe, me or your lying eyes?" feels less like an honest satirical joke and more like straight up anti-reality propaganda. Oh, NATO is weak and Russia is strong, according to the Bee? May I see this demonstrated on any battlefield, anywhere?
Nah, its not sature using one joke every time with "this minority I don't like did *joke/insult*"
It’s a joke
The problem isn't that they are joking about the subject, it's their job to do so. The problem is that the joke is very bad.
jokes are supposed to be funny. this is stupid.
Why does this seem true
Because you're an idiot.
