Patience consists of wanting to be bored by repetitive and constantly-demanded actions while involved in a recreational activity?

And here I thought I just had my priorities straight.

What about people who don't like swapping into the menu to get the iron boots on and off every ten seconds

Explanation: The national mythology of Russia in the modern day is very heavily based around how they 'defeated the fascists' in the Great Patriotic War (WW2).

Of course, one shouldn't look too deeply into how eager and helpful they were to the fascists before Nazi Germany invaded them...

To a cynical society, drama seems melodramatic, and sincerity seems bombastic.

I would not recommend a visit to Reddit on this issue. I just checked out of curiousity.

FUN FACT: The Ontos ('Thing') was quite literally a cast-off from the US Army - the Ontos did not meet the Army's needs after being designed, and so was offered to the US Marine Corps at a cut-rate price. The Marines, used to getting the leavings of the budget, jumped on the opportunity, and discovered that they loved the little 'Thing'. It was meant as a lightweight anti-tank vehicle, but the Marines mostly used it to blow up buildings and deprive their opposition of cover.

Each of those tubes is a recoilless rifle. The poor sod on loading duty had to get out to load each one manually. I imagine they picked straws for that unfortunate duty.
