I was at an aircraft museum this weekend and saw a mini-helicopter designed to be air-dropped, disassembled in a bomb-like case, to downed pilots. Were such machines ever used in a real conflict?

How accurate is "Nature of the Threat" by Ras Kass? (Lyrics inside)

Just ran across this song while listing to discover weekly on spotify. Obviously some claims of his are unverifiable but he goes through roughly 20,000ish years of history. Below are the, admittedly, long lyrics:

Let freedom ring with a buckshot, but not just yet

First we need to truly understand the nature of the threat

And a pale man walks in the threshold of darkness

Roughly 20,000 years ago the first humans evolved

with the phenotypical trait, genetic recessive

Blue eyes, blonde hair and white skin

Albinism apparently was a sin to the original man, Africans

So the mutants traveled North of the equator

Called Europeans later, the first race haters

So here's the Devil's alpha to the beta

Cause history's best qualified to teach one

Quoting German philosopher Schopenhauer

"Every white man is a faded or a bleached one"

Migration created further mutation

Genetic drifts, evolution through recombination

Adaptation to the climate

As the Caucus Mountain man reverted to that of a primate

Savage Neanderthals, until the late Paleolithic age

That's when the Black Grimaldi man came

With the symbol of the dragon, fire and art

Check cave paintings in France and Spain to the Venus of Willendorf

Around 2000 B.C. Southern Russians migrate in small units

Those who travel West populated Europe

Those who went East settled in Iran, known as Aryans

1500 B.C. some crossed the Khyber Pass into India and created Hinduism, the first caste system, the origins of racism

A white dot on the forehead meant elite

The black dot - defeat; untrustable, untouchables

They wrote the holy Vedas in Sanskrit

That's the language that created Greek, German, Latin and English

Now the Minoans around 2000 B.C.

Starts on the island of Crete, in the Agean Sea

The Greek culture begins Western Civilization

But "Western Civilization" means "White Domination"

Myceneans learned from Kemet, called Egypt in Greek

It existed since at least 3000 B.C.

Creatin geometry and astronomy

This knowledge influenced Plato, Socrates and Hippocrates

Cause Imhotep, the real real father of medicine

Was worshiped in Greece and Rome in the form of a Black African

The word Africa comes from the Greek "Aphrike" meaning "without cold"; the word philosophy means "love of knowledge"

Stole from first man, Greek power expands

The first Greek fraternities band

The word gymnasium is Greek for "naked"

This was the place where adolescent boys were educated, and molested

This was accepted because Greek culture was homosexual

For example, Sappho trained girls on the island of Lesbos

Hence, the word lesbian (Ay let these dumb motherfuckers know)

December 25th, the birth of Saturn

A homosexual god, now check the historical pattern

December 25, now thought the birth of Christ

Was Saturnalia, when men got drunk, fucked each other then beat their wife

Fact is, it was still practiced, til they called it Christmas

So put a gerbil on your Christmas list

The Hellenistic Era, Alexander the Great

Conquers all the way to India leavin four successor states

By the Fifth century B.C., R.O.M.E. succeeds to be the conqueror of Egypt and Greece

But had the threat of the Black Phoenicians in Sicily

The Punic Wars began 264 B.C.

The Black general Hannibal and Carthaginian Peace

In 146 B.C. Carthage fell after a six-month siege

Rome sold every citizen to slavery

The first genocide of history

And more bisexuality in sight; Julius Caesar was known as "every woman's husband and every man's wife" (BEOTCH!)

Spartacus Revolt, a slave rebellion that lost

Where 6,000 slaves was nailed on a cross

Cross? Aw, shit! Jesus Christ! Time for some-act-right

Christians get your facts right

Cause Christ was not his name

That's Greek for "One who is anointed"

Yahshua Ben Yosef was his name, do Christians know this?

So who do you praise, do you know his name?

Or do you do this in vain?

Accepting the religion they gave slaves to behave

Peep the description of historian Josephus

"Short, dark, with an underdeveloped beard was Jesus"

He had the Romans fearing revolution

The solution was to take him to court and falsely accuse him

After being murdered by Pilate how can it be these same white Romans established Christianity

Constantine would later see the cross in a dream

In his vision, it read "En Hawk Signo Wonka":

"In this sign we conquer" - Manifest Destiny

In 325 he convened the Nicean Creed

And separated god into three

Decided Jesus was born on December 25th and raised then on the third day is a myth

Plus to deceive us

Commissioned Michelangelo to paint white pictures of Jesus

He used his aunt, uncle, and nephew

Subconsciously that affects you

It makes you put white people closer to God

(Yo, 'The Man' got game like a motherfucker!)

True indeed, fuck it, Jihad

In the eight century Muslims conquered

Spain, Portugal and France and controlled it for 700 years

They never mention this in history class cause o'fays are threatened when you get the real lesson

Moors from Baghdad, Turkey threatened European Christians

Meaning, the white way of life; hence the Crusades for Christ

On November 25th, 1491

Santiago defeats the last Muslim stronghold, Grenada

King Ferdinand gave thanks to God for victory

And the Pope of Rome and declared this date to forever be

A day of "Thanksgiving" for all European Christians

.. Now listen, when you celebrate "Thanksgiving"

What you are actually celebratin

is the proclamation of the Pope of Rome

Who later, in league with Queen Isabella sent Cardinal Ximenos to Spain to murder any blacks that resisted Christianity

These Moors, these black men and women were from Baghdad, Turkey

And today, you eat the turkey, for your "Thanksgiving" day as the European Powers destroyed the Turkeys

Who were the forefathers of your mothers and fathers

Now fight the power, you bitch-ass niggaz!

Now around this time, Whites started callings us Negroes

That's Spanish for black object meaning we're not really people but property, and the triangle trade begins - they seize us

Queen Elizabeth sends the first slaves on a ship named Jesus

Stealin land from the indigenous natives

Gave them alcohol to keep the Red Man intoxicated

Whites claim they had to civilize these pagan animals

But up until 1848 there's documented cases of whites bein the savage cannibals, eatin Indians

In 1992, it's Jeffery Dahmer

They slaughtered a whole race with guns

Drugs, priests and nuns

1763, the first demonic tactic of biological warfare

As tokens of peace, Sir Jeffery Amherst passed out clothin and blankets to the Indian community

Infested with small pox, knowin they had no immunity

Today it's AIDS, you best believe it's man made

Cause ain't a damn thing changed.. let me explain

Now since people of color are genetically dominant

and Caucasoids are genetically recessive

and Whites expect to be predominant, meaning survive as a race then

they simply must, take precautions

That's why they're worried about their future now

'cause by 2050, almost all the Earth's population

will be brown, then black, so understandin that, whites counterreact (I'm sayin.. man.. them fools ain't nothin but a teaspoon of milk in the world color majority)

So they created a system

to force blacks into an unnatural position

That re-enforces the position of natural inferiority

In addition, created guns and developed the ethnocentric view that God justifies every fuckin thing they do

Condition people to perceive whites' culture as civilized and every other culture considered primitive - not true!

Racism is the system of racial subjugation against nonwhites in every areas of human relation

Entertainment, education, labor, politics

Law, religion, sex, war and economics

See blacks were 3/5ths of a man with tax purposes intended

You think you're Afro-American?

You're a 14th amendment and a good nigga

Jews don't salute the fuckin swastika but niggaz pledge allegiance to the flag that accosted ya

They never teach about the break of islands like Jamaica

But before slaves came here whites would take a pregnant women, hang her from a tree by her toes

Slice her stomach with a knife and let the unborn baby fall to the flo'

And stop an unborn child in front of all the slaves to inbreed fear, so they'd be scared and behave and not rebel more

Understand all whites must be perceived as potential predators

I paraphrase historian Ishakamusa Barashango

"Understand that regardless of the lofty ideas ingraved on paper in such documents as the Constitution or Declaration the basic nature.. of the European American white man remains virtually unchanged".. so check

This is the nature of the threat

Were medics in WW2 permitted to have weapons?

I recently watched the trailer Hacksaw Ridge and it makes a big deal about the medic choosing to not take a weapon and to remain nonviolent. I was always under the impression that medics were given the option to choose to carry a weapon or not and if they did choose to carry a weapon, it was only supposed to defend themselves or their patients. If someone could clear this up, I'd be greatly appreciative.

[Meta] Can we please have a flair indicating a question has an acceptable answer?

A (minor) unfortunate side-effect of this sub's moderation is that reddit seems to tally even deleted comments when counting them for the front page. This can be pretty annoying, when you see an interesting question with plenty of replies only to discover that they were all below standard and have been deleted. Could the mods — who do an excellent job of checking the quality of every answer already — possibly flair posts once they've found one that's up to snuff and can stay? I suppose this would also help draw expert attention to unanswered questions as a bonus.

My grandfather claimed that on one occasion Patton ordered the trains to advance deep into the German lines under the cover of darkness. Is there any validity to this story?

So my grandfather served during WW2 under Gen. Patton as a locomotive engineer. He died before before I was able to have a relationship with him but my father told me that he relayed this story to him before he passed. Basically the claim was that train operators weren't required to where uniforms and that Patton being Patton got overly aggressive and ordered the line muntitions to advance to the next town, which coincidentally, had yet to be taken by the allies. My grandfather claimed that the German soldiers were rather excited to see that their ammunition was safe and cheered at the site of the safe (American) ammo. Basically is there any plausibility to this story? Or was my grandfather making up a story to quell my father and uncles curiosity? I know the war changed him and that he saw things that he would never talk about.
