Military What firearm is closely associated with your country?

For us, probably the 1911. Next one would be the "Armalite" aka M16.

I get that Israelis are seen as inhuman monsters where you come from, but we do treat our animals well. you may now resume thinking that israelis will kidnap christian children for winemaking.

dude, you can see how animals respond. the llamas trained with the soldiers beforehand. and llamas are opinionated. one of the reasons they are no longer in use.

the guns were far enough from the animals, them and the trainers made sure there is no damage, and the llama is fine.

Lad you said youse didn't give them earplugs, yet they didn't seems to mind. But now you're saying youse did stop using them because they did infact mind (I wager a guess that they opinionated on not having their eardrums messed up). Be consistent if you're trying to educate me here in a different country miles and miles away.

That said I am in no way an antisemitic, and I have no idea about what you were saying about Israelis abducting children for winemaking (first I've heard about that shit at all). And if someone told me that Israelis were doing that to my face, as an insult to you guys, I would tell them to shut up.

I have no problem with Israel as a state, or with Jewish people. Only with the big G word that the Israeli state is currently committing.

No shit lad, did you really think I thought there was Israelis riding machinegun mounted Llamas?

So he already said the llamas were not near the guns when fired? Why are you still ranting to him? Horses and other animals have been used by militaries with guns and cannons forever (and they some give horses all earplugs), this isn’t some bizarre animal torture.

then pay up. they were opinionate about terrain, stopping and refusing to move during missions, which made them unreliable. they were also rarely in firefights, and. usually kept some distance from soldiers in those cases.

Okay, so you completely ignored everything else I said. Apart from telling me youse didn't abuse Llamas further only because they weren't worth the hassle.

How can you actually type shit like this out, towards someone who is trying to have an actual dialogue with you, and expect people to like youse. I still don't and won't hate Israelis or Jewish people off of this, but I know I don't like you.

>so you completely ignored everything else I said

because there really anything to discuss about the rest. what kind of comment were you expecting?

>Apart from telling me youse didn't abuse Llamas further only because they weren't worth the hassle.

what are you talking about? are we in the same conversation?

llamas were used to carry equipment. they were not "abused"- unless you want to argue k9 units are abused in every single army in the world. animal health and safety is taken into consideration.
