Biggest Travissty to date coming soon!
Re: Biggest Travissty to date coming soon!
With the size of the Republic, that would only equel a hand full of troops per planet.
They say that in the Army,
the women are mighty fine.
They look like Phyllis Diller,
and walk like Frankenstein.

Guys, I was wrong today. I mistyped some stuff and had to correct it. I messed up and admit it.

Re: Biggest Travissty to date coming soon!
Dont be such a bloody push over Striker. Thats how those words are ment to be spelt and anyone else is just a moron. How could anyone in their right mind know that "gulaxie" is spelt that way? Those retards who spell it "galaxy" need to get out of their parents basements all ready. Your not wrong, everyone else is.
What does defeat mean to you?
Nothing it will never come. Death before defeat. I don’t bend or break. I end, if I meet a foe capable of it. Victory is in forcing the opponent to back down. I do not. There is no defeat.

Re: Biggest Travissty to date coming soon!
Anyway, I was talking to a friend of mine who is a huge Star Wars fan.
He said he liked the books she wrote that he has read (about 4 of them, and none of the ones that have created such heated debates). Then I showed him the 3M clones.
He says "WHAT! That doesn't even make sense. There were probably that many in the battle of Geonosis alone!"
And he is not one of the tech minded ones she thinks she is fighting against.

Re: Biggest Travissty to date coming soon!
Indeed, she's fighting against every fan with a brain.
Hell, I remember an old thread on SDN where they calculated the output of that one foundry seen on Geonosis, the output being high enough to match the entire GAR in a year or so.
Even taking the lowest stated number of planets (Tarkin's "million worlds" quote from ANH), that leaves just 3 clones per planet. Fighting against a force that we know from a canonical statement from Grievous himself to be in the quintillions.With the size of the Republic, that would only equel a hand full of troops per planet.

Re: Biggest Travissty to date coming soon!
I prefer comparing the GAR's forces to WW2 armies to demonstrate how stupid Traviss' numbers are. At its peak in 1945, the British Army numbered three million men - the same as Traviss' GAR. The US Army numbered 8.3 million - close to three times as many. The Red Army numbered 12.5 million - more than four times as many. This completely ignores the French, Czechs, Poles, Canadians, Australians, New Zealanders, Chinese, etc, etc. Even then, the allied armies, not even their entire armed forces, just their ground forces, would have outnumbered Traviss' galactic army by eight to one. That was for a war that never touched the vast majority of the land surface of a single planet.
Only two things are infinite - the universe and human stupidity, and I'm not sure about the universe: Albert Einstein.

Aye, "retarded" doesn't even begin to cover it.

My favorite part is that when someone argues with her, they are automatically wrong.

Even a bigger idiot than your avatar, Reliant.
Weren't there about 50 million casualties in WW II? Someone correct me if I'm wrong, please. Which would be almost 17 times the GAR...

All of those figures are estimates, which will vary wildly, of course. There's probably no way to get a truly 100% accurate number.RK_Striker_JK_5 wrote:Dang, where did I get 50 million from?

Re: Biggest Travissty to date coming soon!
Wiki has the number of Allied casualties listed as 50 million, so that might be where you got that from.
Hell, even in the First Wolrd War there were over 18 million casualties. And that was pretty much all fought on the one continent.
