If an organization was to sell the Iranian military 2000 anti tank missiles, what should happen to the head of that organization?

How did WW1 embody the characteristics of total war in a military sense (not domestic, ex. propaganda)?
Total war – the devotion of a country’s entire resources to the war effort
I’ve come up with several examples, but I can’t really think of anymore. Here’s what I came up with so far:
- German use of U-boats and unrestricted submarine warfare
- Huge armies
- Production of new weapons and technologies like the tank, airplane, and poison gas in order to win
Anything else?
Thank you!

Longer barrel with carbine length, ambidextrous, change between regular barrels and the H-BAR with no trouble. Might as well just adopt the Steyr AUG with a 20 inch barrel so you get M16 A1-A4 like performance instead of the problematic 14 inch M4 barrel. The Steyr also has all of it’s problems worked out, so there will be no "gun hell" to go through like there was when the M-16 was first put into service.
Ignore the economic situation at the moment, because we are buying tanks which aren’t being used. Think of how many new rifles could be bought for the price of one tank.

All US "aid" to 3rd World is just US military industrial congressional complex weapons (turn on your TV to look at them). US working class tax coffers pay US richclass owned military industrial congressional complex to produce them — and US richclass gets richer and richer.
"…it’s tough to see how the United States will gain the sympathy of Egyptian protesters fighting a security apparatus that has worked closely with American counterparts and may be using U.S. equipment to repress them."
(I like those words "may be" — isn’t that cute?)

Gee, I wonder how McDonnell Douglas profits report this quarter? And all the others?
There’s been some talk in the US about cutting aid to 3rd World countries, and the public presses that this is a good idea. Now that you finally know what has long been obvious to any with a brain, that all US aid is just US corporate richclass scam on US working class — don’t you wanna change your mind about cutting that 3rd World aid? I mean, you don’t wanna come off as not willing to sacrifice all your blood and guts(and 3rd World impoverished) to make US richclass richer, do you?
How do oppressed Egyptians feel about the US while Egyptian government abuses them with US military weapons?
@Sorry, never saw an AK-47 tank before.

Like naming a rifle PHASR, and it really does look like some sort of phaser, or a HEAT missile, which means High-Explosive Anti-Tank, or a lot of casual ones even involving swearing(soldiers and Marines do it a lot anyway) like Special High Intensity Training, or just excuses like STEAL = Strategically Taking Equipment to Another Location(not that common though), and still end up having some sense, though some are just slightly related to what they mean, like the HEAT I said earlier.
So is it me or does the military have a knack for acronyms?

I don’t know why everyone seems to think this country is a push over and defenseless. They have the fastest tank in the world the Leclerc, their standard combat rifle is the FAMAS considered by many military experts the best in the world, the Dassult Rafael fighter jet better than the USA hornet but not as good as the 22 Raptor. The French navy has 10 nuclear submarines and 4 of which are ballistic missile capable.
In addition they are they are the largest military in Europe with the foreign legion and a rather large nuclear arsenal. Is it only fellow Americans who believe the French are weak or is this pretty much a global opinion, please give me your opinion.

What do you aim for?
Thanks for the answers.
The reason I was asking was because several people have claimed that a 50-caliber sniper rifle can pierce a tanks armor. I assumed that meant that a 50 caliber sniper rifle could theoretically take down a tank. I was curious about what someone would aim for if they did that. That’s all.

Some US tanks are able to operate when underwater to a depth of about 2 meters over the turret, I think, when equipped with a special snorkel device and perhaps a periscope. I saw a half-second video clip of a tank driving underwater once; all I recall is millions of bubbles. How, in fact, is this done? How do they empty the main gun of water when they come up on the opposite bank of the river and have to fire at the enemy?
The idea that the tank operates with water over the turret came from my reading a military specification for a (particular) tank, one that is now long obsolete. The half-second video clip looked like an Abrams, so I assumed that this idea was still being pursued.
I did not assume the tanks could float. (I’d known about the WW2 tanks with inflatable "bloomers", developed to allow LSTs to drop off tanks farther from shore, & the tanks would go like boats until they touched shore. The bloomers tended to burst in use.) I was asking about tanks traveling on the river bottom from riverbank to riverbank.

I want to join the military as an officer. I would like to be able to use my brain (in either engineering or computers) but still be able to fight (ie use a gun/drive a tank, etc.) What jobs out there in the military are like this?

i want to join the army but im 35 lbs overweight and i don’t like working out, i hate working out.
why does every soldier have to be fit, can’t they put guys like me in a tank, driving trucks around or in trench with a rifle somewhere. it doesn’t take a six pack to shoot a gun.
maybe they would meet the recruitment goals if they weren’t so picky.

I’m too old to join the Marines.
I am looking to buy an assault rifle before the taxes go up on them or they are banned again. I am looking for one with really good penetration. Im not looking to blow up a Soviet tank but would like a weapon that could poke a hole in the armored equivalent.

i recently purchased a bunch of old military equipment at a garage sale. i want to know how i can correctly identify what the various pieces of small and large arms ammunition are. they are in decent enough condition as to be able to real most/all of the numbers on the butts. they appear to be from ww1-ww2, possibly USA / German / Japanese , ranging from large rifle rounds to a ‘drill cartridge’ tank rounds (identified).
;
what the heck do all the little numbers on the bottom mean?
