Video games train us to shoot to kill in real life

did u know that back in ww2 only 2% of soldiers shot to kill, now its like 90 and i think we will get to 100 because vidya uses same relfex-shoot-pewpew training principles in their games

Are those sunglasses photoshopped in?

those are the freedom sunglasses, that's how they look

>war has changed xd
people in every single era thing this. without fail. "oh we're so violent now." "oh people kill with hesitation these days." it's bullshit. it's all bullshit. War hasn't changed since the first man picked up a stick, sharpened it, and drove it into his first enemy. but people always want to feel like they live in a unique time, where their soldiers are EXTRA bloodthirsty and their wars are EXTRA BAD. It's insulting. War has never, EVER changed and people are consistently retards about this

its not about being violent. its about changing the way human reaction works and completely changing the warfare. also people never really wanted to kill another man unless they are sociopathic or psychopathic, usually when they would just beat the other guy unconscious and leave it at that. there are studies shown that only 2% of soldiers were actually aiming to kill that other person. Actual melee warfare might be bloodier because it's direct contact

I thought War never changes?

Lindybeige's primary source as been debunked as hogwash for decades now

This, humans are violent by nature, we just developed extremely complex forms of violence.

In WW2, soldiers were torn away from their families and thrown into a battle they had no stake in just to make some rich fucks richer

Modern soldiers joined willingly and have an innate blood lust

my bad then, made sense desu. still i believe that reflex-based training will help humans kill other humans with no hesitation. i can still see how one would hesitate blasting some other dude when that other dude isn't a direct threat

Pointing and shooting a gun in a game isn't the same as training a man to shoot a real gun at human targets when ordered

Drafted civilians make terrible soldiers. Who knew?

Just miles from your doorstep, hundreds of men are given weapons and trained to kill

it's not the worst theory ever but it doesn't make sense at an engagement range of over 200m (which is very common)

Not entirely true

When WW1 hit we were suddenly hilariously more lethal than our combat training was adjusted to and slaughtered each other en masse

>did u know that back in ww2 only 2% of soldiers shot to kill

It's like you're an actual clickbait youtube video that has false or misunderstood information.

It teaches you to kill people as somebody operating an avatar with a mouse in a world with unrealistic everything, because videogames physics make operating a bipedal robot easy

so real super effective on the battlefield there sport

I highly doubt there is a military base miles from North Vancouver.

ESLfags should all be banned.

fuck off and advertise somewhere else

>2% shoot to kill
Did you know that no one took that guys study seriously after Korea and Vietnam? Including the guy who did the original "study?"

Russia losing like 1/4 - 1/3 of their young men made them a whole lot richer didnt it?

They literally used that guys pro tips to train their soldiers for nam and korea, and reported results

its not like we went back to shooting paper circle target for training now did we?

>tfw you always had to zero and qual on paper targets when you were deployed

feels rough

Feels bad

>in ww2 only 2% of soldiers shot to kill

sounds more like CS RNG

what's wrong with her eyes

I swear, lindybeige cocksuckers need to fuck off.

How is that different from any other war ever?

>no stake in
How exactly? I cannot fathom how you think that.

Who gives a shit?

If only 2% of soldiers shot to kill then why were there so many dead people?

A small minority made a lot of kills on their own. Apparently it was the same with fighter pilots.

Artillery.

These numbers have to be absolute bullshit

Not really, no one has to think about blowing up a city full of people.

Emulating crazy anime eyes.

As proven by her picture, anime is retarded and warps your perception on what reality should look like.

And you are a fool.

no, real life is shit and doesn't conform to standards set by anime like it should

I want part 2 of that comic.

Soldiers have ALWAYS since the dawn of firearms shot for center mass. ALWAYS shooting to kill. Shooting for anything else is asking to miss.

More like asking to be killed.

The only time soldiers stop trying to kill eachother as quickly as possible is when the other soldiers surrender. Never trust a word out of a bongs mouth when it has anything to do with guns.

Thread theme get jazzin'

OP obviously went around polling WW2 vets and reached this conclusion after compiling the results.

The proportions of soldiers that fired in WW2 is greatly understated. These come from S.L.A Marshall, who conducted supposed interview studies which may not have ever occured.

This is a myth that has been repeated with very little critical analysis for decades, and is basically accepted as official canon in the american military, but it isn't actually true.

youre talking about ww1

No, he's talking about literally every war in history.
