Incredibly sobering analysis. Thank you, James.

It's my aim to provide a public service

This is less an argument for using roofing tiles to kill people but more an argument for embedding your mom in every combat unit

shaunc.bsky.social•6 days ago

9.8 m/s? (1) You should use siege-of-Argos-appropriate units. (2) and /s^2

ziyyigo-tipyigo.bsky.social•6 days ago

But can a roofing tile drive real fast down a highway?

victork1862.bsky.social•6 days ago

Jesus dude you roof tiled those poor bastards. Takes have been revolutionized.

wavebidder.bsky.social•6 days ago

ah so this is the tradition the rod from god is pulling from

stopped reading halfway through to go launch my defense industry tech startup, Tileantir. I was gonna go back and read your conclusion but I’m now too busy trying to figure out how to spend eighty bajillion dollars in venture capital and DoD contract money

gravitysra1nbow.bsky.social•6 days ago

Make sure you invent a rock that Raytheon invented 10 years ago so you can ensure you get a contract

Good poast. Nobody tell Palmer.

What is drone but fancy rock?

freydalpishti.bsky.social•6 days ago

The level of butchery you've achieved here has not been seen since the Trojan War.

gravitysra1nbow.bsky.social•6 days ago

Contemporary War on the Rocks is my personal Troy

Masterful

loooooooolllllll well done

gravitysra1nbow.bsky.social•6 days ago

I expect I will soon be hearing from War on the Rocks about expanding on my theory for them.

golikehellmachine.com•6 days ago

they might publish it if you offer to use chatGPT to write it

gravitysra1nbow.bsky.social•6 days ago

ChatGPT could never be this tongue in cheek

golikehellmachine.com•6 days ago

welp, you'll never get published on WOTR now

mutual-a.bsky.social•6 days ago

okay hear me out, FPV drone that can drop a roofing tile

gravitysra1nbow.bsky.social•6 days ago

That's just the drones that drop grenades. The history of war is really just the history of dropping things on people.

anarchicaesthete.bsky.social•6 days ago

Sometimes when you're lucky you can drop people on things

talorc777.bsky.social•5 days ago

I’m gonna buy a brick kiln and immediately pivot to becoming a defense tech startup. Get a retired 1 star on my advisory board and should be good for $100M+ seed round. You in?

chicagomike.bsky.social•6 days ago

I revolutionized reading today by asking ai to summarize your thoughts -
War, like art, evolves. But at its heart, it's still a human story—of fear, courage, and the tools we choose to wield. Whether it's a spear, a drone, or a broken roof tile—it’s still people behind it.

gravitysra1nbow.bsky.social•6 days ago

Viscerally upsets me that you used AI to summarize my shitpost

doctoradmiral.bsky.social•6 days ago

I think this is your blood meridian, sicario

gravitysra1nbow.bsky.social•6 days ago

That is unfortunately still my Highway-centric Theory of War I think

jfjord.bsky.social•6 days ago

Hey diddle-diddle (laudable)

abeardedpanda.bsky.social•6 days ago

how does this fit into Highway Centric Operations?

louisevans.bsky.social•5 days ago

Sam what do you think the “high” in highway refers to?

It’s the high tiled roofs of Argos, motherfu—

gravitysra1nbow.bsky.social•6 days ago

Make sure you maintain situational awareness when driving in urban terrain

robbinsa.me•6 days ago

Alternatively, dont drive in urban terrain, get the fuck back on the highway, its not called city centric operations

shaunc.bsky.social•6 days ago

If they invade Boston we are definitely dropping tunnel roof tiles on them. The system is tested and ready to go.

shaunc.bsky.social•6 days ago

The first version of this weapons system could also be re-commissioned --

boatpeeper.bsky.social•6 days ago

Wow. Absolutely gobsmacked by this response. Just like being smacked in the head by a piece of Roman roof tile. Amazing.

ctreese2.bsky.social•6 days ago

If only the people of Argos turned it into a system. Mobile roof capability onto any battlefield and on site manufacture of tiles by precision masons who are the only tile munitions manufacturers in the world. Legions of women having kids to become stone hurler mom corps.

gravitysra1nbow.bsky.social•5 days ago

They should have considered implementing an FD 260 so they could have better contested the Adriatic littoral for a Latin contingency

ctreese2.bsky.social•5 days ago

Argos dominates the roof littoral.
