I got it. Spend a poo poo load of money teaching your dudes in the language of enemy-ese and more money intercepting the enemy radio chatter THEN pay the enemy to interpret their own conversations

You pay the first guys just to have some r and r, and to culturally enrich themselves

Also you could always create a new type of ammunition that uses High Strength Cobalt compounds, advertise it as the new most effective ammunition, make it super cheap and leak the relevant plans to China. Allow several decades for the new Chinese copied ammunition to floor the world market. Then do the really big magnet thing.

yeah actually they will

grover and caro fight ISIS and ebola in an 80's style action flick. grover makes a house with lovely lasers that attract ISIS fighters and then it collapses on them when they walk inside thinking it's a man-boy love house. caro kills by trying to do surgery on everybody.

If we run out of bodies we can always put harsher sentencing guidelines in place. Gender studies/rhetoric major et al and loan defaulters should be the Officer Corps.

Instead of one huge unitary bullet magnet the DoD takes the American approach of "Lots of little bullet magnets, that cost a lot, and come from every state, and when one gets plinked it's like publishers clearing house for the grieving trailer trash left behind." these days.

Your idea isn't stupid, no not at all. We just like using lots of smaller less effective more expensive bullet magnets and call them warriors.

This idea predates the bullet really, and our ability to innovate on it on today's synergistic 21st century sensor fused counter counter counter terrorism intelligence oversight operations is remarkable.

Give me 3 billon dollars, a few hundred men, and I'll up armor those magnets for you just in time for you to let the local muds steal it when we leave.

The Dog-Broccoli Gambit
Jan 19, 2004

As a retired interstate truck driver I have been concerned for a while about the possibility of our liquid fuel supplies being cut suddenly to force us into submission and I am not certain our allies would be able to help us. One way to ensure a cost effective way to maintain emergency supplies may be to build a number of cheap submarines that would float like a log and rest on a prepared bed at suitable beaches allowing a 1km long train onto a beachhead track and back on via an opening in the nose. They could be made out of concrete or steel anywhere in Australia and indeed there could be an export market for them for trade to isolated places in the world. In case of emergency a control pod attached to the top could be released and used as a life boat.

In peace times they would be non‐threatening and could pay for themselves by connecting many isolated places in the world to trade including small towns on the Australian coast. In times of hostilities they would be very hard to detect, could land army equipment on most beaches and could even sink an enemy ship by ramming it.

I need to go scrap some money together cause my avatar is just sad.
I still day the easiest way of dealing with this is handle it like those commercial hog hunts down douth. Charge a guy a couple of grand to do a hunt. Give him a gun and put him in a helo for an hour and let him just go crazy. You could throw these bullet magnets out the side or deploy the mobile ones via ropes from the helo or something. We should try that.
