- sliverstorm 17y agoThe american military generally does not follow this stereotype to the least, but there is a long-standing conception of armed forces using somewhat dated, simple technology. The reason of course being reliability and serviceability. Never dated to the point of being useless, but behind the cutting edge. Frankly if I was on some mission light years from civilization, I'd like to have something dead-reliable and easy to fix if it breaks.
