I love the trenches,
I love the roadside mines,

I love when turrets fly.
I love the whole world

I love my plane-fus,
I love nuke submarines,
I love logistics,

Each individual actor in the system has less incentive to provide value and no incentive to maintain continuity. As a result, you are basically reliant on a small number of unconnected and pseudonymous volunteers who could walk away at any time.

That is so, so cool.
