mircea_popescu: "if you work for the government, in any capacity, you're slave not a citizen. pick up a shovel and make yourself useful. bitch."

asciilifeform: as to what's to keep enemy from using up 1 captive to test - this is what the 'encircle' program is for.
mircea_popescu: nevertheless, not a very good scheme.
asciilifeform: to round off the thread,
asciilifeform: the inevitable n-th army.
asciilifeform: when i first learned of pykrete, i had the obvious idea
mircea_popescu: considering what the current ships are like, pykrete's a much better alternative.

asciilifeform: there are already mines that let N tanks pass before triggering, it is very old idea.
asciilifeform: mines with acoustic sensors could do many spiffy things. such as... ~encircling~ the enemy.
trinque: suppose you could spread out antenna in the dirt though, such that it's imprecise
asciilifeform: so the search for mythical '100% reliable' mine is a distration. and a useful one, because it keeps usg from deploying the thing.
asciilifeform: of the near future.

asciilifeform: you don't want a radio receiver in them.
asciilifeform: i will point out the possibly non-obvious aspect, here, for future reference:
mircea_popescu: anyway ; the us "survivalist" folks have the right idea, even if they don't understand the higher level considerations necessarily. "if you're going to build, build a bunker"
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform note that they only campaign against mines ON LAND
BingoBoingo: IN defensive news StL and apparently other deparments today began mandating wearing of their kevlar vests, optional before
asciilifeform: why do you suppose the 'internashinl komyoooooniti' campaigns against mines ?
asciilifeform: recall the land mines thread ?
mircea_popescu: anyway, the problem with defensive means is that they empower the individual. state wants offensive means, and if possible to fight all wars against strictly offensive forces.
asciilifeform: EVERY major city today is defined by the turning radius of a tank.

mircea_popescu: usg nightmare scenario is exactly this, highly defensive "everything's a fortress and with gun ports" bourgeois restructuring of the town.
mircea_popescu: so building a castle was ~the only practical way to prepare for war. except as the kings successfuly found out, a defensive item defends whoever's there, not whoever built it.
mircea_popescu: anyway. the untold story of the us "we can't defend, we attack" thing is evident in the history of medieval castle warfare. at the time, war was heavily defensive, there was ~no effectual way to attack whatsoever.
mircea_popescu: but it was the example!
