Sometimes you gotta put your feelings to the side and look at how somebody actually treats you. You can care about them all day, but that doesn’t change the lack of effort, inconsistency, or how many times they make you feel like you don’t matter. I learned to stop letting my feelings make excuses for somebody else’s actions. How you treat me tells me exactly how much you actually care about me.

A ROBOT CLEARS A HOUSE FASTER THAN AN ASSAULT TEAM AND MAKES 0 MISTAKES Look at the caption at the bottom of the frame, not at the machine. Test CQB-18. Headshot evaluation. That is the name of the exercise, printed by whoever runs the range. Clearing rooms is the hardest thing infantry does. A room is decided in about 2 seconds, a team of 4 has to move as 1 body, and most of the training is not about shooting. It is about not shooting the wrong person. Every mistake in a house comes from a nervous system. Tunnel vision. Hearing that drops out after the first shot indoors because a rifle fired inside 4 walls is deafening. A pulse at 160 and hands that will not stay still. Entire doctrines exist to work around those 4 problems. A machine has none of them, and that changes the aiming point. Armies train center mass because the chest is the only thing a shaking human can reliably hit. Take the human out and the point of aim moves up about 30 centimetres, permanently. Which quietly deletes the most important thing a soldier wears. Plates stop rifle rounds in the chest, and 10 kilograms of armour has been worth carrying for 60 years for exactly 1 reason: everybody was shooting at the chest. Body armour was always a bet that the shooter is human.
