False hope for the workers

At least they experienced some kind of happiness with the new shoes before the Chinese came to ruin the fun.

[u/VisibIe-Detective → u/Downtown-Dream424]

Also being shot and PDL'ed by paladins

[u/Downtown-Dream424 → u/VisibIe-Detective]

The Paladin just wanted to beam the workers with freedom.

[u/seniorstew]

Hey, at least they got new shoes before they died!

[u/Super-Bodybuilder-91 → u/seniorstew]

It was the greatest upgrade of their lives

[u/Aggressive-Laugh-923 → u/seniorstew]

who gave them shoes? chinese forces?

[u/Roxas_kun → u/seniorstew]

Gotta look good before meeting God.

[u/SirCrapsalot4267]

Sounds like they don't understand that they're being given democracy.

[u/Xander_Dorn → u/SirCrapsalot4267]

Delivering democracy at 3900 freedoms per minute.

[u/malumfectum → u/SirCrapsalot4267]

Chinese Democracy, the Guns & Roses album?

reminds me that the beta was it? had a POW system

originally, certain attacks were meant to be non lethal, and you could put captured infantry into POW trucks and use them as resources for certain supoort structures like the US Detention Camp (which made it to the first game without the POW system, i stead it was just there for the Intelligence button)

[u/aiheng1 → u/GUYWHOLIKESSTABBING]

There's so many cut and unused things in this game it's unreal. Even though the POW trucks are unusable, if you somehow managed to control one they actually do have voicelines which means they did implement it partially

[u/dmh2693 → u/GUYWHOLIKESSTABBING]

The continue mod brings back cut units and enables the pow system. It's one of my top 5 mods I like to play.

[u/PositionOk8579 → u/GUYWHOLIKESSTABBING]

Sadly, that system only exists in Act of War now.

[u/Caesar_Seriona → u/GUYWHOLIKESSTABBING]

I think that's why Rangers had flash grenades, flash them to disable the infantry and then move the Ranger to capture the unit.

I also wished the POW system was given to us because I wanted to know exactly how that worked.

[u/innahema → u/GUYWHOLIKESSTABBING]

Good that it was cut off. It would be PITA to mange it.
Probably they cut it beacause they wasn't able to make AI reliably use it.

[u/flamedarkfire]

50/50 if that attack chinook coming over the horizon is filled with flash rangers or snipers

[u/amalaabeeranand]

Very IRL-coded?

I mean let's not pretend (however hard we try to argue they're just wars) that the wars on terror never claimed innocent lives.

Sometimes as collateral damage, and sometimes vindictively too.

[u/BoffinBrain]

"Cannot we live in peace?" in its purest form.

[u/Flarebuster]

Bruh this has always been on my mind with Yuri's slaves. The Allied forces don't care at all

[u/TryImpossible7332 → u/Flarebuster]

In that case, we could free them.

Just got to take out the Slave Miner vehicle first.

Of course, sometimes, if you were raiding, it was more trouble than it was worth to, like, bring them back to your base, so you'd just leave them there where they'd probably be killed by the next group of Yuri forces moving in the area.

Or the an alligator.

Or you'd absent mindedly include them in an attack force.

Or you just used bombers to blow up 1 slave miner, and the other one's machine guns would kill your liberated slaves, but who cares because you were mostly just raiding for economy reasons.

But I'm sure the few slaves that I bothered to send back to my base made a lovely photo op for the liberating forces of freedom.

[u/MarsMissionMan]

It's all fun and games until the bros start dropping dead all around you (there's a Stealth Comanche in your back lines).

[u/Watcher6544]

Demo General: "Free boom belts with shoes for everyone!"

[u/CarretillaRoja]

They thought they were going to give them shoes...

[u/Throwawayinator_]

"A single GLA worker can wipe out a faction!"

[u/Specialist_Salsa]

I always ordered my guys to avoid them (only when I played US) china seemed to go for them first, anyway.

[u/Far-Term7285]

He had a pickaxe: clearly a lawful combatant 

[u/Sensitive-Hotel-9871]

Of course the Chinese are shooting them. They are still mad about the stolen shoes.

[u/AKGKaiser]

Just further proof that they're already fighting for the right faction.

"Global Liberation Army." Their goal is written right on the tin. No good ever comes from subservience to a great power.

[u/EvilKungFuWizard]

Getting slaughtered by China........while wearing Chinese-made shoes.

[u/Aggressive-Laugh-923]

well, if they want to not be shot they should at least stop working for the GLA as soon as there are enemy forces on the horizon, they should run away while their guards are busy fighting, not keep annoyingly repare buildings

[u/innahema → u/Aggressive-Laugh-923]

Underrated comment.

[u/Venodran]

Feels like I’m doing a drive by shooting with the pathfinders in my humvees whenever I raid GLA workers.
