I've been getting real tired of so many AI slop history/sword/military videos that are just... wrong.
So I made a channel dedicated to debunking them.

The Forever War is a military science fiction classic for numerous reasons.
But could their soldiers beat up a Space Marine?

I've noticed that the research is my favorite part of work, but it's difficult to do that alongside feeling like I need to regularly put out stuff.
So I've been working on front loading. So far haven't quite gotten to the point where I can shift focus.

The Forever War is a staple of military science fiction.
It focuses on a soldier jumping forward in time due to FTL travel coming back to a new Earth after each battle.
The weapons are blueprints for future scifi.
But can their soldiers beat up a 40k Space Marine?

For the record, my first published short story had 5 em dashes—one every 100 words!—and I wrote it in 2018.
A.I. does use more em dashes than the average person, but not the average author.

Law enforcement are instructed to focus on the green zones in order to keep batons "less lethal."
Striking other areas can be seen as an escalation of force.

People are tired of hearing this, but I just find it so funny how I went from posting that no one asks me about to talk about Rebel Moon guns to getting harassed by Snyder bros to becoming the most popular Rebel Moon lore youtuber on the platform and doing more for the series than any of them.

"Yeah? Well at least 40k implants don't make people go crazy like Cyberpunk!"
My sibling in the Omnissiah, Space Marines no longer care about humans and the Ad Mech despises meat. They are cyberpsychos.

It's probably the fur, but this lamellar armor just looks way more intimidating than standard plate.

Norwegian peasant militia axes were weird. But the curved head was so you get the leverage of an axe, but a similar drawing/cutting motion you get with a curved sword. It's one of those designs that didn't really make it.

The Imperium of Man barely has railguns small enough to give to Space Marines.
Cyberpunk has railgun pistols that are seen as a common Corp concealed pieces, and they can penetrate over 16 feet of dense concrete (likely ~2.4 feet of armor steel).
The Tau don't even have that.

Space Marines get stronger by getting injected with hormones and eating ceramics for a year so it fuses with their bones.
Cyberpunk has a nanite injection that rebuilds muscle casually over 2 weeks.

Contrary to what movies say, it's not difficult to use a sword.
They weigh about 2.5 pounds, and, according to some, only take about a week to learn proficiency.
Gaining expertise requires more time, though.

Since I've been talking a lot about Cyberpunk VS Warhammer 40K, here is a 2020 bolter.
.71 caliber (18mm (approx 18x50)) rocket propelled armor-piercing incendiary round.
Has an onboard ballistics computer, and the projectile can be guided.

He was a competitive kickboxer.
A basic SoB rose to top ranks in unethical military school as a child and then went to unethical special forces school as an adult.
It'll be fast.

Compared to real atmospheric diving suits, this thing probably weighs over 800 pounds and the plates are likely an inch thick—so comparable to an APC in protection.

Depicted here is an Anointed Raider, their armor doubles as a diving suit, allowing them to infiltrate coastal defences undetected.
