The money quote:

“I wanted to put the fear of God into the enemy. I could see some dead bodies and eight blokes, some scrambling for their weapons. Iâ??ve never seen such a look of fear in anyoneâ??s eyes before. Iâ??m over six feet; I was covered in sweat, angry, red in the face, charging in with a bayonet and screaming my head off. You would be scared, too.”

Meh.

Oberyn Martell was the better fighter. Quicker and more agile. He’d have killed the Mountain if he hadn’t been a cocky little shit at the end.

You are correct. The end result was his head exploding in the mountains hands.

I will counter your army with my own army of 5 foot tall 100 lb Vietnamese tunnel rats that will pop out of their holes and start spraying with their $10 AK’s whenever they hear your Robocop behemoths approaching[/quote]

My clone army wouldn’t be used like that. More for policing after the opposition has been greatly reduced by my drone and AI war machines. The clones, will march in looking fucking awesome and if any shit gets out of line? That’s it… They would also be like Judge Dread.

In a jungle situation you have described, use my drones to start clearing vast area of terrain. Set up a perimeter and wait. Any heads pop out, they get seperated from the body. Basically wipe everything out to ground level, then wait by the holes for the little fucks to come out.

Send in small robots into the holes equipped with monitors, so everthing down there can be seen. Built like a tiny tank. When it gets deep enough. Push the red button, and boom.

Then he was not the better fighter.

A better acrobat, maybe.

Aha. Duly noted.

Did you read the link? Are these men widely known in Canada, the way men like Sergeant York and Audie Murphy are known in the US? Those motherfuckers were some legitimate badasses.

It depends, if I get a fixed mass of soldiers I would go for ants, if I get a fixed number of soldier I would go for titans.

I’ve heard of Tommy Prince and Leo Clarke.
Leo Clarke grew up on the same street in Winnipeg with two other guys that got the Victoria Cross, Frederick Hall and Bob Shankland. Can you believe that? Three Victoria Cross winners on one street?
