How the U.S. Military Would Go To War (And Kill) Godzilla
You know, just in case.


Godzilla. Kings of the monsters. The original Kaiju. Born of humanity’s hubris, it comes from the depths of the Pacific ocean. It comes to wreak havoc. It comes to kill. Some of the more soft-hearted elements of the American military wish to weaponize the beast. Fools! The creature must be destroyed.

But how?

The U.S. Air Force’s 18th Wing in Japan—America’s largest combat wing—thinks it would have no problem felling the beast. Senior Airman Mark Hermann told Air & Space magazine he could destroy the monster with “.50-caliber [machine guns], four helicopters.” He thinks Godzilla is a joke.

He’s wrong. Godzilla is a force of nature. The mighty King of Monsters would shrug off a mere four helicopters armed with machine guns.

There are people in the military taking seriously the threat of giant atomic-powered lizards emerging from the Pacific Ocean. War is Boring spoke with one noted military scientist and weapon designer via email this week to gain some insight into the Pentagon’s options for defeating the kaiju threat.

Fools,they have no options.

Hmm, I always struggle to get a clear picture of the relative threat with this kind of thing. How many helicopters would those be? And if there's an invasion this side of the Atlantic, do we need to convert the figures to metric helicopters? Thanks in advance for helping out a "noob" by sharing your expertise on the subject! :D

I've met an Oxford professor or two. This stuff doesn't enhance my opinion of these types, but nor does it surprise me.

No, no — you need to convert them from dollar helicopters to euro helicopters.

:mrgreen:

Oh s**t! I just checked; $US 1.00 = EU 0.89 = £ 0.77. Just as well we only have the Loch Ness Monster to contend with! :lol:

There you go again posting another picture of me.


There's also no known limit on how many people one entity can impersonate. Maybe it's https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Deepfake vs. aliens now.

This is the new #1 fun thing professors can do with tenure.

I think my brother was replaced by a space alien when he was around 25 years old, but it's because he seemed to just suddenly turn into a kind, friendly, intelligent, good-looking gentleman. :mrgreen:

^ It's strange when you finally get to see a picture of someone you've only ever met on-line isn't it? I have no idea why, and I mean no offence at all; but I always thought of you as much taller! You look very elegant - the parasol really suits you (and very useful for keeping those annoying helicopters at bay, too, I should think!)

Thank you, it comes in very handy for poking at Mothra.

Just because you believe in aliens or have seen them, doesn't necessarily mean you're 'mentally ill'. Hasn't anyone considered the possibility that their might actually be aliens and that they might have visited this backwater planet?

Zombies are the current fad in movies.

But a robot apocalypse actually seems more likely.

Robots are already taking our jobs!

If some hacker put some code onto the Net, and that could be enough for the robots of the nation to do more than just take our jobs! They might turn on us!

Industrial bots might leave the factories and go on to the streets and attack human pedestrians.

Police robots would grab the bomb from the crime site, and then throw it right AT the human bomb squad!

The Roomba that vacuums your house might suddenly stop vacuuming and leap at you, and go for your throat! Like an oversized hockey puck.

Too horrible to imagine!
