The USSYs well trained soldiers are not only well trained because they use guns, they also are trained in close combat. They are taught how to use Knives in close combat and to be able to throw them properly.

Lastly they are taught to use swords.

You can send your troops to the USSY for special training, 100 USD per troop.

what use is a knife when you got a nuke?

what use is a nuke when your 1000 miles above the atmosphere?

What use is a Star Trek fan? Nukes would not be used against Space age nations, different tech and time level, unless your too stupid to realise.

What sort of unarmed combat?

possible too stupid.....

Close combat is good to train your soldiers in, the USSY also has many methods of getting up close without being seen.

Swords are still extremely useful! They're more lethal than knives most of the time and just as quiet...

Yatonsa, I also train my soldiers in close quarter fightig and have recently opened the Western Blades store to sell military grade rapiers and sabres. Perhaps co-operation between our industries and trainers would be a good idea?

What use is a nuke when you're fighting a soldier up close? Gonna nuke him?

Daviestan I would love our industrys to combine.

A la Starship Troopers: If you put a knife through his hand he can't hit the button to launch the nuke.

We would love to send a Special Forces Brigade (5,000 men) to partake in Yatonsa's Combat Training. We will wire $500,000 on confirmation. Will we need to fund our own housing facilities?

"What good is a knife in a nuke war? I mean, all the guy has to do is push the button anyways.."

"Soldier! Put your hand up on that wall!"

He hesitates. He looks scared.

"Put your hand up on that wall, soldier!"

The young soldier complies. The Drill Sergeant then picks up the throwing knife and throws it straight through the soldiers hand.

"The enemy cannot push a button if you disable his hand. Medic!"
