The most disturbing video you’ll see today: the weird-ass recruitment video from the US Army’s 4th Psychological Operations (PSYOP) Group.
“Have you ever wondered who’s pulling the strings?”.
They cut it right after it started moving to imply that it was about to run him over and that they cut it out. One of those, “point them in the direction and let them fill in the blanks” kinda deals.
Well I could be wrong, in which case I’m really putting the shit in shitposting, but it felt kind of to call attention to how big of an object a T-54’s hull could roll over, in the context of a US army recruitment video featuring the Tiananmen Square Tank Man video. Now, a tank rolls over stuff with its treads, so the ground clearance doesn’t necessarily imply anything about allegedly grinding student protestors into the pavement, but in this context I’m not sure what else it’s supposed to imply. Maybe they should clarify.
Edit: Ah, ok, I read their other comment. Guess they’re not fedposting…?
It’s funny how they throw in part of the tank man clip where you can see the tank turning away from the guy.

Your fun fact of the day is that the ground clearance on most Soviet-era tanks is about 50cm.
Why is that fedposting?
Turns out, a person can fit under a tank and not get crushed unless they decide to throw themselves at the tracks.
Interesting, innit?

yeah I took it as the opposite, but I wasn’t sure
