No mate, all that lingo was pretty clear. 155mm (accurately 152mm since they were foreign) were standard IEDs in the second Gulf wars. A humvee (m998 pre-uparmorings) was all but totally destroyed. The person sitting in the shotgun seat was the only person left alive and they were possessing about as much sense in their speech patterns as I just heard in this video. Feel me? Zero coherence from a fellow human, whoever they are, is disturbing and more so when while swaths of people pretend otherwise.

    Pro tip: Put jargon (specialized language of a particular profession) in parenthesis. I love learning new jargon! I like to think I'm well informed but I couldn't make any sense of that except, I think there was a wreck of some kind?

    Anyway, yeah, I can't imagine how much longer his handler's allow him in public.

    To be fair, all I saw in that paragraph was meaningless numbers before I read this. I gathered a vehicle had been attacked from context, and the survivors' cognitive abilities etc, but the numbers and "Cat-R" meant nothing to me before I read the follow-up.

    Of course there's a relevant xkcd
