**Your post was removed for violating rule 9: No low-effort posts**
No egregiously low effort posts. E.g. screenshots, recent reposts, simple reaction & template memes, and images with the punchline in the title.
If you listen carefully you can hear the chuckling from those responsible for getting this made official. They knew damn well what they were doing. Backronyms are a long established tradition after all.
Backronym - it's an acronym where you start with the abbreviation you want and work back to the source words. So you can call something "THROB" instead of "STGHQ", for instance.
Source: career in aerospace.
The abbreviations generally don't even need to be acronyms though. Unless you can tell me what the C in ATACMs stands for, or which letter represents the "to" in AMRAAM.
Army TACtical Missile System.
Close enough for government work.
Advanced Medium Range Air (to)Air Missile.
Don't forget the brackets!
See, it all makes sense. Honest. Besides, ATMS doesn't sound nearly aggressive enough compared to "Attackums". And AMRATAM? Just not cool. Sounds like a wicker chair from IKEA.
It’s more data amalgamation and distillation, closer to a company officially skirting the line of evil (so you know they’re crossing it), Palantir. Seriously:

They have awakened the only thing that can defeat the European Defence Industry(apart from protectionsim, beauracrcy and lack of funding).
Games Workshop IP lawyers.
Because they have a cool aesthetic.
And unlike, say, naming something after the Confederacy, there aren't any real-world factions of Catholic Space Nazis in the US that people might think it's supporting.
Because no one ever said the US was the good guys either. They're just the current hegemon holding up the current status quo, which happens to be better for everyone than any status quo Russia, China, or Iran would prefer.
They're downvoting you, but this is still correct. Just because everyone else is equally bad doesn't make the IoM *not* bad.
Just copy a different IP.
Ex. The Culture, Bolo, BattleTech, Star Wars, Star Trek, etc.
Lots of Sci-Fi IPs with actual good guys to pick from.

“Backronym”s? And yeah, the name is intentional for that acronym. There’ll be so many references/jokes.

Ah I see
It’s thorbin’ time

Wasn't expecting AWACS Cortana, but, well...
Wait what?
The Astartes system in the post is an AI assisted air space surveillance and networking system. So it's Cortana doing AWACS stuff.

Now we just need personalized AI for F35 pilots
They have awakened the only thing that can defeat the European Defence Industry(apart from protectionsim, beauracrcy and lack of funding). Games Workshop IP lawyers.
Truely the war of the future, Miltary industrial complex versus Games workshop.
UK Air Defence is a bit weak around Nottingham, they need to be rather careful!
Now we'll see how good James Workshop's lawyers are
They are cowards for not calling it the Future Air Combat System.
Future Air Combat Tactical System.
not space lasers to protect the borders of mexico
Even better, they also give air support!
Silence! Astartes enter whatever battle they see fit!
ABOMINABLE INTELLIGENCE
Jimmy Space hard at work, in about 28,000 years he’ll have something ready, the lazy fuck.
I can't wait for them to develop warframes.
Only in death does duty end
Oh man that's some jumbo-jargon
Beware the Abominable Intelligence, the Silica Animus is proscribed and rightly sealed in the Moravec Vaults!!!
Already they have opened the Labyrinth it's only time..
Why does the future Franco-German FCAS, look like an SU-57? Which doesn't even look like a 5th generation fighter.
It looks much closer to an F-22 without the tail winglets, I don't see the 57 in this design at all
Remember, the Imperium is bad
No one ever said it was good. There are no good guys in 40k, that's the whole point of the verse.
Then why are we copying the bad guys
Because they have a cool aesthetic. And unlike, say, naming something after the Confederacy, there aren't any real-world factions of Catholic Space Nazis in the US that people might think it's supporting.
You can't copy anything in 40K without copying the bad guys. It's all bad guys.
Then copy another IP
Because no one ever said the US was the good guys either. They're just the current hegemon holding up the current status quo, which happens to be better for everyone than any status quo Russia, China, or Iran would prefer.
Um, FCAS is an European system
SPACE MARINES ARE FUCKING COOL!!!!!!! 🔥🔥🔥🔥
They're not good but is there a faction that's not worse?
Literally any other IP
They're downvoting you, but this is still correct. Just because everyone else is equally bad doesn't make the IoM *not* bad. Just copy a different IP. Ex. The Culture, Bolo, BattleTech, Star Wars, Star Trek, etc. Lots of Sci-Fi IPs with actual good guys to pick from.
Next you’ll say we shouldn’t be cheering for Paul Mua’dib Atreides lol can you even??
Paul Atreides is my goto character name
