A few good men, and not enough ammo, food, and the gunny has burnt the maps.

Amateurs study tactics, while professionals study military science. We study violations of common sense, unnecessary Sun Tzu quotes and terrible strategies from the bottom of a bottle.

Zulu Warriors better than ninjas? Katanas better than reactive armor? Marines taking over the past with Nazi superweapons? Grant a butcher, and Lee the greatest strategist ever and could've made Operation Sealion totally work?

Bad Military Science tackles these questions, from tactics to strategy, via the operational art, we expose, explain, and mock the bad stuff without quarter.

General Orders

No brigading (ohtheirony). Submissions should be Reddit np links (np.reddit.com/..). We educate, we don't eradicate.
Explain The Bad Military Science. It doesn't have to be five paragraphs, but nobody should ask 'What the hell am I looking at?", either.
Don't be a dick. Be excellent to each other. I mean, c'mon.
No Grandstanding. This ain't your soapbox.
