Well I'd be that guy missing his trousers, wearing heart dotted boxers, some groucho marx glasses, a bandolier full of explosives and cans of rations and a frilly pink hat,
wielding a knife, a wooden spoon and a raging stiffie(having downed an entire bottles worth of viagra before battle),
screaming "I'M A LITTLE TEAPOT SHORT AND STOUT!" before charging across the battlefield singing songs from My Little Pony at the top of my lungs in high falsetto
Taking bets as to what manner I will end up as a cadaver

What?

I would want to be a tank commander, a fighter pilot, a ship captain, or tactitian. Something to keep me away from the fighting.
All of those are spots that put you into the fighting though. Hell three of are prime targets. I mean its the all the cool stuff certainly, but any real war, it certainly isn't safe

Yes, those spots are still unsafe, but they are still FAR safer than being on foot. Althought, I would most likely be tactitian or ship captain. Why? Tatctitian because I love to stratigize and think thought stratagy problems, and am really good at it, and ship captain because I would have at least 50 tons of armor around me, and if I am sunk, I am an excellent swimmer.

I never claimed to have worded it right. But generally, people don't make the distinction between an assault rifle and a battle rifle.
Generally, people never care.



Abandon4093 said:
In passing conversation either can be used.
In passive conversation people call semi-auto rifles "rifles" and full automatic rifles "machine-guns". So what?
This is not passive conversation as we are specifically talking about a military theme.

Abandon4093 said:
And the newest assault rifles can use 7.62x51, along with an assortment of other calibres after changing the barrel.
You are thinking of the Masada design eventually built by Bushmaster and Remington as the ACR?

That one can be changed to 6.8 SPC and 7.62x39 - both assault rifle calibres.

Abandon4093 said:
There is literally no distinction to be made anymore.
If that is so why was the SCAR (a very modern rifle) adopted by the US military in it's Mk 17 form and not Mk 16? There are distinctions between them, even if they look almost the same. One is a battle rifle, other is an assault rifle. Simple as that.

Abandon4093 said:
They've even got assault rifles that you can set to open bolt.
I already said most of the characteristics of assault rifles. Bolt or operation are not relevant.

Drill seargent, if I can convince the people in charge to allow me to do it. My dad did it, and I inherited quite a loud yell because of it. Plus, since I'm kind of small, it would be freaking hilarious to see giant, muscled soldiers absolutely terrified of me. As much as I hate war, I would thoroughly enjoy yelling and cursing at people bigger than I am. It's the simple things in life, really.

If that doesn't work (which is likely), I'll follow in my mom's footsteps and take up the noble and often forgotten art of logistics. In war, a lot of people seem to forget about all of the people that get the bullets and food supplies to the people with guns. Let's see how long you last in a firefight when your guns don't shoot and you're starving.

Plus, bullets hurt, and blood makes me woozy. So, frontline soldier and medic are both out. I doubt I'd be able to shoot straight, anyway. Too busy screaming and crying.

I'm pretty certain if you're fighting in a war, you do whatever role you're told to do no?
But if i actually had the choice.....Sniper. Out of danger, out of sight. Cowerdice is the best protection.

So I was playing Battlefield 3 with some friends, and i came to realise that the classes we played really reflected what our prefered job in a real war would be. One of them takes to the skies, the other supplies us with ammo, etc.

So anyway, You're thrown into a war... what role do you play?
Either a sniper, commando, or demolitions. I prefer to fight my enemy by circumventing them tactically, either by hitting them from extreme range, surprising them with a flank, or by simply blowing up whatever cover/vehicle they're using to protect themselves

I would be the guy who leaves in the moment of need and gets at least one other character killed. Later, I come back and sacrifice myself to save the rest of the squad in a heroic death.

Yes, that is in the job description.

Meh, we already have a soldier that doesnt wear any trousers over his pink boxers. Next!



(Yes, that picture is genuine)

I don't think I would do well on the front-lines, so I would be in the artillery.

Could you imagine brining it to the McDonalds drivethrough between salvos? Epic.

In the realms of b3, i would be a support. Nothing is cooler tha supressing a target while a squad member flanks them and sticks a knife in their throat.

In real life, however, i would probably choose be a medic.

the guy who pretends to be gay so he can get dishonorably discharged. although there wouldn't be much point since there hasn't been a draft in decades...

Oh I know about that photo.(missing a frilly pink hat and erection)
But I'd rather go as audacious as possible.
I figured, I'm in a war, I'm gonna end up a statistic so why not go in a way that draws enemy fire(if it doesn't leave everyone in the warzone slackjawed) or at least give any survivors an interesting story("I swear he waved his boner at them singing "giggle at the ghosties")

Not as outrageous as everyone else saying they'd be a lone wolf cold sniper or magic healing medic

I'd like to think a strategist though I can't do any games like that.

Otherwise something that keeps me out of the way of the fire, while still offering a strategic role - such as Armorer.
