PLA

People's Liberation Army

The name of the armed forces of the People's Republic of China.

The PLA is composed of three branches:

*PLA (People's Liberation Army)
The Army is the very basis of the military, composed of "grunts" trained to become infantry for usual land warfare. Like any other nation's military, it has artillery (like tanks and other armor), special forces, engineers, and basic infantry.

*PLAN (People's Liberation Army Navy)
The PLAN is like any other navy, since it has ship all kinds (like warships, carriers, and submarines). The PLAN also has a Marine Corps, although it's not as advanced, or powerful, as the USMC.

*PLAAF (People's Liberation Army Air Force)
The PLAAF is like any other nation's airforce in that it has aircraft of all kinds. China has been experimenting with UAV's (Unmanned Aerial Vehicles).

The PLA is owned by the PRCCMC (People's Republic of China Central Military Commission), which is run by a chairman, often a general.

The PLA also specializes in fields involving C4I (Command, Control, Communications, Computers & Intelligence), outer space and, of course, nuclear arsenal.

In China, people are required to join the military upon graduation from school. In otherwords, unlike other sources saying so, the setup is not a draft, but seemingly, conscription.

"The PLA is interesting in that their main assault rifles, the T95's, are chambered for 5.56x45mm NATO....that's the US & allied caliber for assault rifles....are we looking at an alliance with China one day?.....probably not. -_- such a shame. China, with its interesting culture and rich history....fascinated with world domination like eons ago....but what do I know; I'm an American. Being American is a good thing, but it has its downs too. -_- "

Stupid White Men

Some book from Michael Moore which I don't care to read. But with a name like that, well, seriously! Holy shit is he outta his mind? As if he isn't already? Now I'm not only questioning what his nationality is, but what his color is! White, isn't it?

As funny as it looks and sounds, it's so oxymoronic, don'tcha think?

"Michael Moore proves that being anti-white isn't racist....it's popular!"
-some dude who posted a definition of Michael Moore

"Although Michael Moore is white, he'll still be raped by the KKK because he's anti-white."

egopatriot

A type of patriot who uses nonsense as means of showing patriotism to his/her native country.

"This one guy who's with the japanese national socialist party says all this egopatriot crap about how the Japanese Self-Defense Force can conquer and take over any country in the world. That's a load of shit. They are great, but they, like all other militaries, are nothing compared to the US military."

Ultimate Sacrifice

The Ultimate Sacrifice is an extremely patriotic & heroic devotion to one's country, particularly in the United States of America. The Ultimate Sacrifice is what you make of it, but generally it is on an extreme level, exceeding that of death.

"If you want the definition of patriotism & an example of the Ultimate Sacrifice, play Metal Gear Solid 3 : Snake Eater."

APC

Codename initials for an Armored Personnel Carrier, a type of armored vehicle commonly used for transporting military personnel.

"A Hummer isn't a good example of an APC because it's not so well-armored; it's meant for high-speed transportation. But since there are many different kinds of Hummers, maybe one could be souped-up to withstand bulet-barrages."
