Gundam Seed Destiny

i've been watching gsd recently, in fact, i've finished both gundam seed and gundam seed destiny and i cannot help but notice the whole setting for gundam seed is flawed. from an economic view point that is.

1st, every commander fights battles hoping to inflict maxium causualties and incurring minium loses. in layman terms (mainly for women), i want to punch u and not get punched in return.

so in order to reduce losses, people then invented bows and arrows, where i can shoot you from a million centimeters. this is a vast improvement over swords and knives and spears and staffs. i mean, IF i hit you, you aint gonna be able to come close enought to chop me up, even if it doesnt kill you, i can keep on shooting you. an archer can shoot 30 arrows per minute at an effective range of 70m. now the fastest man can cover 100m in ard 10s, so an average man can cover that distance in about 16s, plus armour and weapons etc etc, in about 30s. so it'll probably take that 25s to cover 70m. which means i can attempt to shoot you 13 times. which is a lot.

armour was then made thick enough to stop arrows. which then cause the invention of crossbows. (i shall skip the story and fast forward here. make up ur own history lesson.)

we proceed straght to tanks. which mainly repel bullets. as we all know, tanks are so much more expensive than a suite of armour. BUT it makes sense when we see how it SAVES the lives of people. in addition, it is difficult to destroy a tank. you can do so with a RPG or another tank. but for simplicities sake, we'll talk about the american M1A1, which happens to be virtually indestructible. in fact, the americans lost 1 tank in the 1st gulf war as it was rendered immobile. in order to not let such a valuable piece of equipment fall into the hands of the enemy, they destroyed their own tank... in the 2nd gulf war, they also lost no tanks due to enemy fire. instead, the lost 1 tank when the bridge it was travelling on collasped... COLLASPED. so tanks were economically viable since they were a) offered good enough protection b) not easily destroyed (which means that ur 1 million dollar investment would survive many battles.)

gsd however has many robots, the ones that we'll concern ourselves with are gundams and jins. jins are piloted by the bad guys or characters who basically do NOT affect the story in any way. and gundams are piloted by good guys and bad guys...

fact - gundams are virtually indestructible.
fact - gundams destroy jins with 1 shot.
false - jins cannot hit gundams and when they do, they just cause the pilot extreme uncomfort which is followed quickly by their own demise. compare with a mosquito sucking you blood. the main difference is that you ALWAYS feel the mosquito biting and you always kill the mosquito.

put 1and 1 togther and u'll realise gsd simply doesnt make sense. why mass produce jins that are destroyed so easily and even worst, they cannot kill ANYTHING...

out of point fact - guys in gsd are good looking and have good bods.
out of point fact 2 - girls in gsd come in 1 standard cut. 24,36,34. with the faces to match.
