Remote Control War: Vanguard

[pmukherj87]

I have no idea what this is all technology changes. At its worst it allows (makes it cheaper/safer) for the military to capitalize on giant holes in our legal system (and the international legal system). The technology is not the problem, its the lack of legal ramifications that's the problem.

[ArchNME]

The cannon came long before the bullet.

[JimmyyoJimmy]

If it saves soldier's lives, then it's probably for the best. Although just not going to war would also save soldier's lives, but that's crazy talk. We need to go to war...who else is going to defend our access to oil. Besides, it's America's god given right to invade other countries and protect their resources..right? Oh wait, it's called defending freedom..sorry, I forgot. Because we all know the only reason soldiers are in the middle east right now is to defend the rights of those people.

[MrSteelbeast]

use that auto shotgun to rioters in london.

[insanelygr8hair]

how come small time entrepreneurs and college interns can make the some kinda robots as the military where they can do the same same thing but the military spends billions of dollars?

[sk8sk8ss]

There's the military industrial complex at good, hard, honest work....

[RadioSilence01]

17:46are all those computers up at the top alienware

[peppeddu]

14:49 That flying thing doesn't stream HD video?

[Insomaniaartist]

qhat evwer v ghot, Iz zie milita hand down,

[HearingEveryRhyme]

It's funny because the Taliban are Cavemen.

[MacawSonny]

@HearingEveryRhyme  heavely armored and well trained cavemen

[MrSteelbeast]

@HearingEveryRhyme yet they shot chinook and killed US navy seals. woooot!

[HearingEveryRhyme]

@MrSteelbeast You do realize that all of the American casualties in this decade long war are less than all a month's worth of casualties in Vietnam. There are many days in Afghanistan where 60+ insurgents are killed without a single American death.

Who the hell are you to cheer for those sexist theocratic cavemen? They don't want girls going to school, they force women to cover their faces, and they follow a prophet who was a pedophile and a murderer.

[reuscmar]

I loooooooove Kaj!! He's an amazing journalist and really funny, without ever loosing his focus. I could watch him all day. Vanguard rocks, but Kaj rocks even more!!!! :)

[smokinblu1]

@14:10 XBOX controller?!?!? Look more like a PS controler

[dadvoc666]

ask an innocent FATA inhabitant how he feels about these un-manned UAVs

imagine you are living in a place crowded with terrorists around you... you can die any instance without doing any harm to anyone

F***

[manmanguy]

Atomic bomb most powerful weapon ever tested? Ever heard of Thermonuclear? Why are military chicks always so goddamn ugly?

[BunBun002]

@manmanguy Yeah, but a thermonuclear is kinda an atomic bomb.

[manmanguy]

@BunBun002 In a way yes, and in a way no.

[hojima]

@manmanguy Similarly, why are military guys always so goddamn ugly?

[manmanguy]

@hojima Dunno what you are talking about. Military guys are usually fit and in perfect shape and very trim. Therefore, they are usually quite attractive. Compare a normal military man to a normal fat ass American and decide which one you would want to fuck if you were a female.

[hojima]

@manmanguy more to being attractive than being fit. (see: face)

[manmanguy]

@hojima Not so much for men, very much so for women. (see: logic)

[rocketzombie237]

Shit! Wall-E with guns . . . Skynet would digitally hang itself with shame. They need to make the HK drones out of Terminator real.

[evilmickey100]

rise of the machines fuck we are going to be done in by our own creation

[TherealNoblevision]

"wheres me an arab" lol, fkn backward ass people making death dealing tools for murder. welcome to earth.

[tHecOmMeNtErSrEtUrN]

Yeah, imagine if a dictator took control of the US with these weapons at their disposal.

[HelmetBlissta]

Horrible murdering scum , fuck the lot of them.

[linkofblue]

DAmn, how did I know you were German? Wir haben eure ärsche in Weltkrieg eins und Weltkrieg zwei gekickt, Scheißekopf. So unless you consider yourself not a real enemy, then we most deffinately have fought a real war. So immer mit der Ruhe. Niemand will hören, was Sie zu sagen haben.

[zachrfields]

@Forrest569 everyone has 2 make $money$

[Thetrutv]

Who is that computer geek girl?

[vibetechnician6]

rock and roll

[vibetechnician6]

facebook

[KarelYalek]

redneck makes guns which "no one in world can make", you americans are joke

[linkofblue]

@KarelYalek I'm sorry, who made the AA-12?

[KarelYalek]

@linkofblue

lol, try a win a war against serius enemy

[linkofblue]

@KarelYalek We did already, it was called World War Two. Remember that, when Europe was getting it's ass handed to it and America turned the tables on the Nazis?

[KarelYalek]

@linkofblue

you were ours enemy in ww2, you saved france and england.

[linkofblue]

@KarelYalek Damn how did I know you were German? Wir haben ihre ärsche in Weltkrieg eins und Weltkrieg zwei gekickt. Scheißekopf. So unless you don't consider yourself a real enemy, then we did figt a real war. So immer mit der Ruhe.

[bukawiez00kyy]

to archiv, to solve that problem g=make a mechanism that self distruct the robot when its taken for enemies

[RyanKHS06]

Whats he talking about? The AA-12 is not recoilless. I saw the episode of Future Weapons that featured it.

[lewandlo]

Yeh that would be a smart and as fast as the person who is remotely operating the robot. Let`s say i was holding people hostage or holed up and armed. If isaw the robot coming and just hid behind a place where the operator could not see me. I let the robot go by and quickly disarm it and now I have another weapon to kill my hostages . If I flip it over it is no good.

[dymd3z]

Make up your mind Larsen! The controller either looks like an xbox or ps3 controller; not both.

[12809inthetubes]

'Merica!

[SamSpade2010]

Wrong -- first weapon was a stick.

[12809inthetubes]

@SamSpade2010 Fuck off, you have no way of knowing that.

[SamSpade2010]

@12809inthetubes Sticks vs. stones -- it's a controversial debate with many heated exchanges, and tempers flaring on both sides.

[Chrismonchan]

@SamSpade2010 I'd say first weapon is a fist lol.

[skatecam1248]

the opening seems like a good commercial for something "paving the way of the future" the guys voice totally fits a commercial too

[LuizGewfy]

I wouldn't be too confortable being in the same room where a freaking robot carrying an aut. shotgun is roaming around. Especially if had windows 7 installed in it! Internal Error 123098! RUUUUNN FUUUUUUCK!

[hazellina07]

@LuizGewfy hahahaha!!!!ure funnie..

[jpourkav]

@LuizGewfy i love windows 7!! that shit is LEGIT

[SavvasO4]

"hunt me an arab" what a fucking racist

[ndrwzheng]

where's that arab? man you americans are so stereotypical.

[RPaloisio]

@ndrwzheng wow.. that was a horrible thing for that guy to say, but you are being stereotypical yourself.

[SpecialKit]

The problem here is the lack of tough questions. He should ask "do you think that this dimension of technology putting so much distance between the target and the person pulling the trigger has positive or negative effects overall" and then explore along similar lines. It's still enjoyable and informative I'd just prefer more depth.

[deviceds]

what about self destructive robots every time they hit an enemy they explode that would be better insted of letting the enemy know and understand your tech.

[StrumVogel]

Google is Skynet.

[plainlake]

Bullet, then cannon?

[streetsurf194]

"mkay?"

[mbenson2790]

future weapons made this episode really boring

[obefiend]

"jerry's sense of humour is disturbing".. its not disturbing. it's racist!

[hazellina07]

@obefiend its not only racist..its totally outright ignorance

[Khonsu1212]

the idea of killing people from for away, conflating video games with real war is unsettling

[tidebigvalue1]

Propaganda? Som d.bag reporter covering the Army is propaganda? The military is truely keeping America safe. It's us vs. the 3rd.  This is why you can be a fag, safe @ home and wear tapered jeans

[RichoRosai]

I like how they devote 20 seconds to the little caveat that civilians are inadvertently massacred on a regular basis at the end.

Also, cavemen would have used their thumbs when throwing rocks. This propaganda has some shitty writers.

[hempoilsoldier]

if you wanna save lives mr soldier

remove profit from war fuckass

[ivantnt26]

make love not war

[Korkfish]

what's the song at the end of this video?

[Korkfish]

at 20:09 - 20:38

[tman916x]

do all you guys talkin about people hacking these machines really think that the machine's designers haven't thought about that? I mean I highly doubt anyone here can think of a way to take down one of these robots off of the top of their heads.

[RouteMask]

@tman916x using my god powers.

[apocalypse20I2]

yu summa bish. yu no god. yu onli a gil. yu haf no papa onli fo da mama.

[SuperBlackPeter]

One day the machines hack our brains.

[elitzatz]

disturbing.disturbing and sad..

[Forrest569]

Is there some irony that the woman at 8:15 is wearing the peace symbol for a necklace but she makes guns?

[apocalypse20I2]

yu talcking to me?

[Forrest569]

no, my comment was not a reply

[obefiend]

@Forrest569 kind alike private joker in full metal jacket

[Forrest569]

@obefiend

Hartman: How tall are you, private?

Cowboy: Sir, five-foot-nine, sir.

Hartman: Five-foot-nine, I didn't know they stacked shit that high.

Epic Movie one of my favorites

[hazellina07]

@Forrest569 lol!!!

[ImWatchinTheTube]

@Forrest569 Not really, firearm designers/manufacturers have always considered their products conductive to peace. They say that since they sell their arms to the "good guys" (US army and such) the inferiorly armed "bad guys" are more likely to give up and be peaceful.

[Forrest569]

@ImWatchinTheTube

there's some truth to your words I think its somewhat funny though

[gamefanatic26]

the Germans used something just like this in world war 2 just something for you people interested in this .

[TheUnipop]

anything that runs on electricty is unrelaibe and beatable

[AmonTRodgers]

You haven't seen the matrix

[kaceyr]

I think the 'fear' of robot weapons and civilian death number is so blown out of proportion is sad. These tools are made so we don't have high numbers. Don't believe me? Look at the civilian death numbers from ANY other war.

Wars will always happen, at lest we are trying to make them as civil as possible. Or would you rather we nuke em?

P.S. I am against the current wars, and total ignorance of science.

[sparty007]

Technology now is making less people to participate but with potential to kill way More than before.

[kgonepostl]

On another note. I'll only be in a war once I get my own mech suit. Mechwarrior style, now that's cool.

[tokinblckgie]

Only problem is, everyone one else would have on too.

[MacMachineMan]

whoo

yea, thats what im waiting for

[kgonepostl]

Frequencies can be hacked. Would suck to have your own weapon turned on you. I pray they hired hackers to create lockout codes

[katsujinken10]

It seems cowardly to me to pit people who believe so much in something or are in such need of something that they're willing to risk their lives for it versus people who have so much money that they can destroy & murder not necessarily out of conviction or need but out of idle desire to get their way because there's no actual risk in doing so.

[nstgc379]

When you need a gun, find a red neck.

Need a science fair project, find a nerd.

I like that predator. I myself am a nerd. Turning war into a video game. I've been sure of this for a while, but when I saw Surrogates, the movie that came out a few months ago, it generated a very clear picture. I don't think that we will have humanoid robots, but the idea of those spawn points where one dies you just send out more, thats going to be very real very soon. Same for RTS games and tacticians.

[kipchak]

Our UAV is online!

[Cobra666Commander]

Our technology DOES work, we just don't have the spine to do it. A WW2 general would have simply bombed every village suspected to harbour terrorists, and be done with it.

[Grondhog]

ROFL! wheres me an A-rab? lmao hillbillys

[adrastea99]

Saiga? This is nothing new

[KrykoStorm]

a bullet became a cannon? WTF?

[cp516]

i thought the same thing. lol

[TheLockdawg]

AA-12 owns in mw2

[tman916x]

ha ha so true!

[JoeytheGrape]

Gotta say, Kaj Larsen is great.... don't really watch the vanguards without him

[tikiman77]

And the cavemen actualy get to use that opposable thumb?? What the hell does that mean

?!

[JoeytheGrape]

press the button on the joystick

[Pizack3]

Thumb doesn't do anything except secure your grip on objects, where as, with a controller, its essential to manipulating a joystick.

This stuff is interesting. I want to visit that mall just for fun (already in the Army). Definitely a lot more going into this sort of stuff.

[ivelocityi]

when are they going to create the terminator?

[Lepiratepoulpe]

somebody must stop this guy before he creates more hell raising machines !! WAKE THE PHUK UP  !

[archivesbc]

The main problem of armed robotic units is their inevitable fall into your enemy's hands - and just turned against you in the less terrible scenario, or made into a blueprint for more sophisticated ones by your enemy in the worst case.

[StrumVogel]

@archivesbc i doubt Taliban have the resources to up keep and operate such system.

[archivesbc]

@StrumVogel the Taliban doesn't need to use them all on its own - it can send them across to Pakistan which does have the material resources and manpower to do that.

American Unmanned Aerial Vehicles have to be blown up with an airstrike if they become unmanageable so they won't be given across to arms merchant dealers. The US still has the advantage when it comes to UAVs and ARUs - if one arms dealer sells the remnants to Russia/China etc - you can say goodbye to that too.

[IggyZadr]

@archivesbc

I'm sure nowadays they will have some sort of failsafe for situations like that. Whether it be to deprogram the unit from headquarters or have the unit self-destruct if caught. Also, they can develop a system which must utilize fingerprint identification - voice identification... the main problem is that the military must come up with these failsafe situations - personally, I think the self destruction would be the best.

[trueblue151]

@archivesbc Just like iron man!!

[treon123456]

@archivesbc are you fkn jokin? there in the enemies hands....how long do you think it'll be til the elites runnin/robbing his country turn this stuff on americans? they'll fake another 911(like the last one)and then we'll be the insurgents! homeland security isn't for terrorists..its for us! ever notice on '24' with kiefer southerland who set off a nuke in LA..IT WASNT FORIEGNERS....IT WAS 'AMERICAN CONSTITUTIONALISTS'! GET READY TO BE CHEMICALLY DUMBED DOWN SLAVES OF THE 'NEW WORLD ORDER'

[archivesbc]

@treon123456 Dude, leave the meth alone - switch back to grass!

[treon123456]

@treon123456 U NEED TO LAY OFF THE COCK AND GO BACK TO FARM ANIMALS! NOW....BACK TO SLEEP OR FONDLEING YOUR NEPHEW....SHEEPBOY!

[flyguyinmotion]

@treon123456 Seems like everyone like to pick on you. Maybe it's because you used a tv show as your reference to real life events. People won't pay attention when you do that. Entertaining theory though.

[HDiGITTY]

@archivesbc or... SKYNET GOES LIVe AND WE ALL LOSE!!!!

[DeCrypedMonkey]

13:01 I know that some Xbot fanboy is going to point this out but that's a 360 controller and not a PlayStation controller....

[sotijas]

it's getting to a point where ''the man'' has too much firepower... what happens when you'r country goes nazi on you? you couldnt fight them if they had those robots... i'm so not happy with how advanced they'r getting

doesnt anyone have the guts to accually fight anymore

[Cobra666Commander]

All this tech means nothing. There are still men of flesh and blood behind them, and they can be killed.

[kipchak]

Good luck getting into US airspace to get to them.

[sotijas]

what happens when you'r own country comes up with a really unfair law, you'll go to the streets and fight a fully mecanised army with molotovs?

you cant see it untill they oppress you but they got you by the balls~

[DeCrypedMonkey]

06:15 "Don't call me CUTE or I'll blow your head off"

[phenomen113]

this shotgun fires also tiny grenades

[Alecalisk]
