A bit of fun which I hope will be carried out the proper spirit... Two rules, nothing abusive and you can't do yourself

Mad Dok - Fanatically loyal to commanding officers, will stubbornly defend lost causes against overwhelming opposition

This will not end well.

No probably not, mine was intended as a compliment which is the example I hope others will follow...

Well, I like to think of myself as the kind of guy who'd look after the elbow grease and check our supply of headlight fluid during combat.

*I am assuming that both items are held in storage at the base.

I always imagined myself as the guy who carries the extra ammo into combat.

On a side note, I beg to differ about that last rule.




Ghidorah

if dakka members were soldiers...... Jervis had better find a deep underground bunker pretty sharpish!

I'm guessing most of us would talk big, then hide in a hole when the shooting started.

I'm a lover not a fighter...

RAW says we may fire back. Also that we may stay to get shot

My money would be on that the number of active accounts on Dakka would start to decrease rapidly
Also, that most of us would try to throw together a tank out of debris scattered accross the battlefield and our solution to the enemy having a bigger gun would be:

Step 1: Get more Dakka.

Is they dead yet?
Yes: Step 2b
No: Step 2a

Step 2a: Get more boyz, go to step 1.

Step 2b: Loot their gun and put it on yer tank.

I'd probably be dead.

Yes ok, it's probably safer if we stick to doing ourselves...

I'd hope to be as far from the fighting as humanly possible, before turning up to offer a hearty "well done, chaps" to any survivors.

Bit like my namesake really

Oh my there would be such a slaughter on our side. Because if the question is to use us as soldiers we are dead even the one here with training will be taken down.. But give us six months training and who know.

I would be the one who would clear up the minefield.
"Hey you there, who won't go to army, get up there. I got some work for you"

If dakkits were soldiers the enemy wouldn't kill them it would be the PT that did it.

I was making a joke off of Cheese Elemental's line, guess you didn't get it Ghidorah.

I would stay home with the women.

Isn't that what most of us are doing already anyway?

If Dakka members were soldiers then the army is screwed.

Good thing I joined the Marines

If some dakka members were soldiers I would sell them to the other side for the price of a WD mag each

If Dakka Members were soldiers, most of us would cower at home with our women and occasionally pretend to be generals while we send our little metal/plastic men to their imaginary deaths.

Ofcourse we would also have heated arguments about RAW vs RAI of the Geneva conventions

Let me clarify, I would stay at home with ALL the women.

Well ...... no fatties.

I can see female military enrollment increasing as a result.

Sure thing!... you would be very alone in the states

If dakka members were soldiers then our barrack would be named "Snake pit"

i think i'd be the guy who ran around screaming "where me terminator armour!"

or

"why did i fail my leadership test!"

I'd be the one slapping all those losing their wits and running around screaming. I know, 'cause I did it..................
Had a soldier lose it the first time we had incoming Scuds during Desert Storm, so I smacked him, got his mask on him, and then made him go outside with me to check all the air handling units. Next time he was fine.

So I guess I'm a Commissar? Nahh, I didn't shoot him...........

Must....not....give....in.....

Oh, heck.

You know, that statement is so very accurate on so many different levels in so many different aspects of our lives....

I would lead the Berzerkers, after giving them "Extra supplies". (Steroids and meth.) They wouldn't last long, but what a way to go.

While driving I would get shot at, many many times, and attempt to avoid drving near anything that doesnt look right. As with some of the above posters this really happened unfortunately.

This...this thread...it's like we're channeling Warseer...
