the military college uses a combination of both branches. so even though you're in the army unit, you get orders from a marine, squad mates who are in the air force, and an m16... seems legit

There actually was going to be an entire side story about them and the rest of the squad from earth, but i decided to scrap the idea after getting in deep with side stories. I was going to create another story for them to show what happened to the squad after Johnson's disappearance, but that wouldn't have anything brony/pony in it so that got ditched.

granted this is an M16A2, which solved alot of the jams from the M16 and the M16A1, but it still has a smaller ejection port when compared to the A3 and A4 models. Doesn't suck, just a problem with dirt and rapid firing.

And its not the military structure, but the military college rank structure.

Yeah well we all know how the hub is with thier copyright obsession!! (I know just kidding):twilightoops:

2077499 To be honest I don't know what the hell I was saying at this moment, and I have no energy to read the whole story again to find out.

Anyway... Thank you dear sir or madame :trollestia:

2100729 Your quite welcome I have now increased your IQ by 1 point for that heavy thinking. :pinkiehappy:

yes. they do. and it a very...strange place. A Senior Military college

2124989
good find. lots of little references everywhere

2143345
well it was the early 90's...and 80's....we done goofed

That description...

'solider' -> 'soldier'
You ask three questions, with nary a question mark to be found, and one of them also lacks capitalization.
'we all know who lives in' is a particularly awkward turn of phrase.

Not an auspicious start, but this seems to have been fairly well received, and I am running out of pony words to read, so I suppose I could give it a try. :duck:

happy to see you're enjoying the story!

This seemed really promising till he made bullets from steel over a campfire...
That's not really physically possible...

Just finished this story an hour ago, and wow. That was awesome. I might just have to cosplay as this guy

2376948

What are you talking about? :rainbowhuh:
It is true that alot of American citizens have an obsession with your Army or War in general. :moustache:
You guys need to calm down... You just cant seem to leave it alone.
Your country hasn't even been in a real war in a very long time, in the words of Yahtzee himself
All you seem to do nowadays is kick developing country's in the metaphorical face if they so much as look at you funny. :moustache:

You owe me 2 $ worth of internet cupcakes :pinkiehappy:

tho... i suppose I may give this a shot since fimfiction remembers where I left off and I have to wait for something to finish heniways

2452150 you sir are going to pony hell:twilightangry2:

2453640 I WANT MY TWO DOLLARS:flutterrage:

2483027 Well if you would stop bringing it up you'd stop losing.. Your trolling yourself here :moustache:

And the only reason i posted about it in the first place is because it was in the end of one of the chapters :ajbemused:

2483315:twilightblush: yea I totally knew that....yeah:facehoof:

unrelated to the story: I am going through Basic right now as part of the CAF, and plan on ponifying my experience...

Related to the story: I plan on reading this when I have the chance.

I...I cannot find a word to describe this story.
It was full of emotional plot:pinkiehappy::rainbowlaugh: :fluttercry:

2970716 You do realize regular ponies would probably hurl at the thought of crushing a creatures brain to mush right? We can think of that stuff because we have been desensitized. We see stuff like that in scary movies, the internet and all that, could you imagine a pony thinking of that and not hurl in a bucket afterwards? A lot of us think they'll simply get sick from seeing someone just eating meat!

Besides a regular man can't kill without a good reason to do so otherwise guilt will override the brain, and I doubt its any different for the peaceful equine species.

As for the forcefield I think thats a skill not every unicorn is capable Of learning, shining and twilight could learn it because they're powerful in their own right EG The element of magic and the captain of the royal guard.

I can picture a few guards being able to pull off a smaller version, but thats about it smaller and much weaker, to ask an average unicorn to do a force field I would think to be akin to asking an average joe to do a marines daily workout maybe even a SEALs but maybe thats pushing it, in between maybe? :P

And levitation is the only common spell all unicorns know, telekinesis probably might be outside of many unicorns range of workability not to mention magic can't be worked through solid objects, take for instance you're outside and you focus on the cup of tea thats sitting on the table inside the house you know exactly where the tea is, what it looks like, and all that jazz however nothing happens. I think for you to use magic on an object you must for 1 focus and see the object you're handling (if a unicorn was blind thats be extremely difficult) and 2 there mustn't be a solid object obstructing your path and I count the skull as an obstructive object from the goal IE brain.

However that wouldn't stop the magical hold on the skull itself but it takes quite a bit of PSI before the skull collapses in on itself. Can you crush a Mellon with your bare hands?

so no I don't think unicorns other then quite a few of the royal guard can pull any of that off and being that equestria has been in peace for over 1000 years I wouldn't imagine more then 500-1000 soldiers at the ready an only half are probably capable of doing those fatal magic.

hmm, I got to thinking just now, magic isn't telepathy or anything to do with "brain power" Like Xavior from Xmen he could do telepathy and can easily make you go brain dead. However he can't turn an apple into an orange. Like twilight can or tried :pinkiehappy:

I think magic is a force that resides within the body unicorns can channel it through there horn pegasi with wings and earth ponies passively throughout there body.

Magic can't be used as a mental ability like telepathy or telekineses or pyrokinesis.

you either have mental abilities or you don't have them simple as that.

And to think if they could use magic to amplify there mental abilities I easily can imagine adverse if not fatal drawbacks to messing with your own brain. Not even a brain surgeon who knows EVERY detail of his brain wouldn't want to mess with it.

So its plausible to say they can't even "make your brain moosh" as it t'wer :duck:

:twilightoops: whoa I think I ran my mouth off a little too much! xD it was soppose to my thoughts but apparently I think too much, however my points all stand and I have to say there all pretty solid however I mean no disrespect on your own opinion what you think is your business I was just replying to what you had to say :pinkiehappy:

Decided to read this again, love it xD

1047327 Honored Service gets stabbed with a big jagged horn, in his stomach and lives?! I'm of the opinion that having him be dead would be more realistic to the wound he received, than his living through such a wound. Do some research about the injury and survivability of said injuries. I rant because I like the story, and having him "come back from the dead" as it were, just feels like it cheapens the finality of death, and the effects it has on the loved ones who have to deal with the aftermath and realization of that individual's death. Don't be afraid to kill off your character, as some really excellent stories have such scenarios in them.

Peace,
