What the Real Military Would Do with Godzilla! (Military Expert Explains Plan for a Real Godzilla)

Interesting I did expect some celebrities say something about the Godzilla charachter but not the real millitary.

Interesting.

But I've always said ths, if Godzilla were real, he'd be used more as political tool.

I'm sure if anyone thought about it long enough they could figure out how godzilla could play into politics. 

Very interesting. But i think he has left out a few things like how exactly do you 'befriend' a 350 foot tall monster or how do you give it orders?

@Something Real

So........are you volunteering for the job?

I dunno, Instinctive Gigan, I'm not trying to be rude, but I think you either didn't understand what the guy was saying or are deliberately it using out of context. 

The author was talking more about the use of a hypothetical Godzilla as a military thought experiment in order to theoretically identify the "center of gravity" in an enemy force. He wasn't at all talking how he would use a Godzilla, or how Godzilla would benefit war. 

The example from which he works the theory is basically this: 

You own an island your enemy wants to capture. Your enemy has air craft carriers, amphibious landing craft, and a large fleet of submarines. 

Your own army only has enough resources to commit to taking out one of these threats. How do you determine which one is the most important to defeat?

Well, let's assume you had a single use 'auto-win' button...like a Godzilla creature for example...you could only deploy against one of the three. You use that auto-win against the submarines....can the enemy still capture your island?....yes they can. What if you used your auto-win against the carriers?...probably more effective, but the enemy could still possibly capture your island. What if you used your auto-win against the landing craft...can the enemy capture your island now? Actually no, no they can't. So the landing craft should be the primary target of your actual force.

So yeah. He wasn't talking about actually using Godzilla in battle. Rather, he was encouraging the theoretical use of a Godzilla or some other 'auto-win' force to help military commanders prioritize targets when they have limited resources. 

It was still an interesting read. I still think it's a cool article. And I still think you, Instinctive Gigan, are in the upper ranks of reasonable posters on this forum. But on this day, I felt you terribly misrepresented what this article was trying to say. 

@Something Real, You realize Godzilla absorbs nuclear radiation right. In the first movie, his foot-prints left traces of radiation behind. You might want a radiation suit first. Also, I would also hug him.

Of course the military would want to use Godzilla. He's an indestructible force of nature. Wars would be won in single battles. Godzilla could bring an end to most conflicts. But at what cost?

I don't think it works like that......But the amount of epic of having godzilla aid the military would be unmasurable. 

The real military would launch a few of there bunker busters toward Godzilla throat, eyes or mouth, using computer guilded technolgy.  If a bunker buster can crash through layers of concrete or 6 feet of steel, then it could penetrated any part of Godzilla.  If that didn't work, they could alway poison Godzilla the way they did King Joffrey.

This was an awesome find. The thought to use Godzilla though if he were a real thing was prettY good, but that would be kind of impossible.

@instinctivegigan

Thank you for bringing this to our attention. :)

@MADISON I don't think I did, considering the whole point of the article is explaining why Godzilla would be useful in war and would be more beneficial to humanity. I mean literally everything you just said can be covered as "we'd use him for war." Also I did say "more or less", so yeah. But I appreciate making your list of awesome people! :D

@RAGEDREX I'm pretty sure none of that would do jack, surviving nukes pretty much covers everything we got. I hardly doubt you can compare concrete and steel to something like that.

@RAGEDREX I feel like nuking godzilla would only make the situation worse. And lets try to aviod spoilers for game of thrones even if it doesn't have anything to do with godzilla.

This is facinating. Great find.

Ok I'm having trouble posting pictures on this forum. Can someone walk me through...

Anyways here's the Gif link

Good news that the military would not destroy Godzilla. If Godzilla existed he would be the most powerful military weapon. But I don't know if Godzilla should be threaten as a military weapon.

@**Al* Yeah.......we can only dream of similar idea with Godzilla.....
