Well, shit. I screwed up the article title and then made a note about spelling it right. That's embarrasingly silly of me.


Good job

Looking good so far Excalibur01 14:20, 28 May 2010 (UTC)

American troops in Mexico conflict

I could be mistaken as I haven't seen this episode in a while, but weren't the American soldiers in this episode American Empire troops as opposed to US? As someone familiar with the series would presumably know, the United States after WW3 was fractured into three separate countries and the United States as it existed in 2020 (consisting of Washington state, Arizona, Utah, Montana, North & South Dakota, Minnesota, Iowa, and Wisconsin) wasn't in any shape, economically or militarily, to wage war beyond its borders.

Well if I remember something, Batou was with the "American" troops in Latin America. I'd need to rewatch the episode again, but they also mentioned he was with the SEAL. Excalibur01 02:39, 7 June 2010 (UTC)
He has a Japanese flag on his BDU shirt in this episode, so he's clearly with the Japanese contingent in Mexico. He did mention being "with the Rangers" in a couple other episodes, but I don't think he was referring to the American ones. In a later episode, he revealed himself to members of a military/paramilitary unit with the same prosthetic eyes as him saying "I'm one of you", but this was a J-SDF Special Ops unit, not an American one. At any rate, I'm watching this episode as we speak, so I can at least confirm whether these American troops are US, AE, or RAA. Spartan198 14:34, 7 June 2010 (UTC)
They were AE troops. On a side note, it bugged me how the Americans in that episode were portrayed as reckless and prone to panicking at the slightest little thing. Spartan198 14:49, 7 June 2010 (UTC)
That's pretty much the Japanese stereotype on Americans before World War II, it's interesting to see that it's somehow resurfaced (in the anime world at least), and it's not uncommon for anime to portray Japanese characters superior to characters from other countries.--Wildcards 20:20, 18 October 2010 (UTC)

Again, the AMR in this season looks like an L39, not an NTW-20.

It's funny when Saito says "I once was up against a world class sniper in a duel",And the fact that he had a Blaser 93 Tactical Sniper rifle and The Major had an Walther WA2000 with an extended clip and a type of Red dot or holographic sight. I'm very interested in that fact that everyone else in the UN Special forces squad used full automatics and Kusanagi happen to choose a Semi automatic. Tac-Shooter 17:30, 6 August 2010
Well that's because the Major is badass. And come on Tac-shooter. It's MAG, not CLIP. Magazine are the boxes that stores the bullets to feed into the gun to be fired. Clips are strips of metal that feds the magazine and helps load faster. Excalibur01 14:41, 6 August 2010 (UTC)
I thought Major has an assault rifle, but switched to the Walther WA2000 when realizing they were in a sniper dual. And yes America is now three separate country. the American Empire, the United States of America, and the Russo-American Alliance
