Reminds me those little stories about how on paper the spec ops soldiers are usually in out of the way non-combat roles like a mechanic back at the base or a logistics guy.
@@МихаилРозов-ю9п Ah that wasn't my point, you are right though. What I meant was that I heard stories the Spec Ops guys are officially hidden in non-combat roles to hide that they Are Spec Ops guys.
One of humanity's weaponry ideas is to round up a bunch of small dense rocks and hurl them _at relativistic speeds_ into a target, essentially turning said target into metallic confetti. Basically akin to shotgunning a target with BBs moving at 150,000+kps. Sounds a lot like what the human ship used on the cruisers. Worse part of this is that it would punch neatly through shielding if said shielding were only tuned to handle directed-energy weapons - you'd need shields capable of handling kinetic kill weapon impactors, and if the rocks were small enough they could still slip through and make your day very brief and unpleasant. (See also, the TV show "The Expanse," wherein this was an actual weapon. "The Expanse" has some of the most hardcore scientifically-accurate space combat scenes ever created, so the fights and weapons used in those fights are based on hard science.)
This story is part of a trio of stories about the same ship. Check this playlist to see them all. Thays excellent!! Human Rust bucket | HFY: th-cam.com/play/PLkBGMBYRr0mElzmwg80MYa72A4z2dglhn.html
The subtitles on these videos are horrible. You had the original text on hand, and yet, you just fed the audio to a voice recognition software .... with zero proofreading afterward. That is disgustingly lazy.
So the GC is sitting there just happy the war mad humans and the talent for finding creative ways to commit mass destruction are on THEIR side .. no questions asked, do not bother them, and keep smiling. As you do not want them to change their minds. LOL.
To be fair, if they weren't able to see the use in unconventional tactics, they'd force humans to not fight at all, so they CAN go for it, but it has to be shown to be good quickly, which it sounds like humans did REALLY well.
When these aliens have run out of ideas to destroy an enemy they send in humans to handle it, human response in this is usually “*smiles* oh this is gonna be fun”. As whatever commander gave the order likely shudders at the thought of what fate is to befall their enemy.
🤣🤣🤣 Thanks for the laughs! And for another good story. This sounds like it's related to another story that I read earlier today. I liked that one too.😄
@@joseestevezhernandez558 Insults between different countries/languages do not translate well. Actual Aliens would have insults that even when translated and explained properly...Humans would just go Huh? While of course they would equally be puzzled by many Human phrases or insults, not getting the cultural reference.

Obviously a very immature author. In what environment do professionals use that type of language. I was twenty years in the infantry and while we had some colorful language we knew when and when not to use to. I guess some Woman or Manboy wrote this who has no idea how real men in uniform speak. You can tell by the cartoonish language in this story. It reminds me of Shock Jock Comedians that resort to the F-word and jokes about masturbation because they cannot write real jokes.
I mean really. When in command you do not denigrate your job or mission as it has an effect/affect on morale and the same is true for denigrating your subordinates. Fleet Commandore SSsellies is actully in a postion way over her head and is a crappy leader. The problem is she thinks she is good.
Something tells me Fleet knows who to send to get the job done, expecially when it matters. ~ It is gonna be hard to beat this story ! ~ Thanks

The Expanse is a fantastic series up until the last couple of books. The authors lost the plot.
Amos and Alex are great.

I am enjoying all of these but this one is Hysterical ...well done love the Commodore....
I just found this Sci-Fi story. WOW is all I can say, or maybe Merry Christmas to me!
I'll be doing a lot of listening to all these stories.

That's what you see? All you see?, not the whole tapestry?, you entered this with preconceived notions. That's like doing bad science...
