In the future, wars will be fought on a budget.
The global economy has collapsed so badly that no country can afford real weapons anymore. A man signs up to serve in his country’s army and is sent to training camp. The sergeant hands him a piece of wood shaped like a rifle, with a rubber bayonet stuck on the end.
“Alright, men! Here’s how it works now. You point your rifle at the enemy and shout ‘bangety bang!’ Then you stab with your bayonet and yell ‘stabbity stab!’”
The soldiers look at each other, confused. But orders are orders.
A few days later, they’re deployed to the battlefield. Across the field, the enemy is lined up, also holding wooden rifles with rubber bayonets. As the two sides march toward each other, the shouting begins.
“Bangety bang! Stabbity stab!”
Miraculously, soldiers fall left and right. Thousands are “killed” by pretend bullets and fake stabs. It’s chaos. Somehow, it works.
Amidst the piles of fallen men, our confused but surviving hero stands alone. Suddenly, he spots one enemy soldier walking slowly toward him. Oddly, this one has no rifle, no bayonet ,nothing.
As the enemy approaches, the hero prepares to strike. He yells, “Bangety bang! Stabbity stab!” Nothing.
The enemy doesn’t fall. He just keeps walking, knocks the hero over, and calmly steps across him.
The last thing our hero hears is the enemy muttering under his breath: “Tankety tank… tankety tank…”
