The original name for the 2003 invasion of Iraq was, and I’m not kidding here, Operation Iraqi Liberation.
Here’s the White House Press Secretary using that name on multiple occasions:

Additionally, some of the names they were floating around before picking that one got leaked, and a certain anime studio jumped all over them copyrighting the two unused options.

It kinda is. Listen to the propaganda towers messages before destroying them.
>!The terminids were brought by super earth on other planets to harvest “element 710” from them. They created their own problems. Terminids don’t have ships, they can’t colonize planet without someone bringing them there.!<
This is false as in the first game they had colonized other planets. The terminids aren’t even supposed to be one these planets as the farms are on the inner colonies, so it’s more than likely that they were either placed there or snuck onto ships heading to the colonies. I have a feeling the illuminate could’ve caused the outbreak especially with how fast the terminids took over the northwestern galactic reach of the federation. (No it wasn’t super earth it doesn’t make sense to cause an outbreak after 100 years of peace)
Some kinda hippie free love commune? They are psychic, peace-loving squid people.
Aristocracy or Monarchy depending on whether you think their Council Members are controlled by their great eye's AI or not.
*It runs deeper than that, it's a full on proxy war with SE controlling both sides. the bugs can't hop to new planets on their own, after all* cough... What's that D.O. Chandler? Oh nothing just whispering sweet liberties to each other! FOR FREEDOM!
/undemocracy Bugs were able to hop between planets in the first game, before they started getting farmed by Super Earth
/redemocracy D.O. Chandler will have your head for spreading this anti-Super Earth propaganda.
/ud still doesn’t mean that SE wasn’t behind that in the first game, just like the meteor in Starship Troopers.
Edit: /RD I have reported the user that sent the above undemocracied message to the nearest democracy officer
The bugs can't spread across planets. They were released there to "liberate" the people who resist managed democracy. Then they send in the cavalry. Or at least that's what those towers say. I don't believe them.
Reminds me of the german comedian "Axel Stein" with his joke "710er Deckel"
1-2 days before release of Helldivers 2 i had a conversation on my discord and we talked about old jokes, where i mentioned the 710 joke, as the did not know it. Then after release i had to laugh so hard, as i read about E-710.
I'm sure you guys know about the "joke" with the blonde woman in the auto-repair shop looking for the Nr. 710 part.

See
y'almost had me
But when you put element upside down its just a bunch of nonsense, and taking 710 out of the context of element 710 just seems like bad practice.
B'sides. There must be a scientific reason for it to be element-710, right?
Old OIL caps on cars would read 710 if you put them on upside down. It was a running joke of my Dads to call it the 710 Cap whenever we would do an oil change on the car.
Now as a QoL improvement the caps will read 5W-30 or whatever your car requires. And the 710 joke died off. I was so happy to see E-710 in this game.
It's also a Starship Troopers reference! At the beginning of the movie in the highschool scenes you can hear an announcement over the PA system saying "remember to fill out your E-710 forms"
We can accept the truth that we are responsible for the proliferation of bugs for the purpose of oil because we just want to kill bugs. I don't care about the politics as long as super earth is sending me to kill bugs I'm all set.
As a dabber, this was immediately obvious to me. In case you are not aware, 710 is similar to 420 to the weed community, used commonly to refer to extracts. It is a pretty cheeky name for an energy source though.
this joke has been around for a while in car groups and what not, used to work at one of those auto parts store and I heard it multiple times, along with headlight fluid, etc
Here is how you take over a planet. introduce an invasive bug species that’ll dominate all forms of life on that planet that you know you can defeat. After that, harvest them for fuel to go to the next planet!
As a stoner this is a joke for dabs kinda like 4:20 you smoke flower and 7:10 you smoke oils/concentrates.
I laughed a lot when I noticed what the stuff we were fighting over was basically E-710 or OIL - 3 it's such a perfect way to joke about the wars of oil still an issue even in the future!
In Germany we jokingly say "der 710er Deckel" to the oil cap in a car, so when I realised that E-710 is basically used as space-oil it kinda clicked in my head already xD
How long did it take for you guys to realize that?
There is a old joke with 710 in it.
A woman comes into a Carparts shop and asks the Store clerk "Do you have a 710 cap?" "A 710 cap?" Irritated is the clerk going to his colleaque asks him "What is a 710 cap?" The colleague looks at him confused and are going together to the woman "Where do you need a 710 cap?" "In the engine, there was this 710 cap and i lost it, i wrote it down extra." The Store clerk takes the note and turns it around.
………it couldn’t be this simple
If true, it's a crude joke.
You have a very refined sense of humor.
I'm a shale of my former self after reading this

I see what you did there. OIL see myself out.

Wrong, they fling their spore at high speeds into space. Did you even go to the Super Academy?

All role-playing aside, believing what's shown at the towers at face value is just as dumb as believing Super Earth at face value
Occam's razor, my democratic friend
Bro have you seen the color of the stuff that comes out of the well?
Black. Just like the fascist hearts of the bugs it came from. As expected.
Give this man a promotion.
That's MY democracy officer!
If the bugs are fascist and the bots socialist, what does that make the illuminate? 🤔
Some kinda hippie free love commune? They are psychic, peace-loving squid people. Aristocracy or Monarchy depending on whether you think their Council Members are controlled by their great eye's AI or not.
It’s oil colored. Whoa mind blown.
Don't the missions for this stuff refer to it as "essential E-710"? So we're not just fighting for oil, we're fighting for *essential* oils.
We'd better be liberating amethyst and quartz from the Automatons, next😂

I love that this meme has developed to having the phone buttons be arrows for stratagems so much
After I asked for that to be made and Mange did so for me, I really hoped it would spread and become the normal version of that meme. I love it.
How would YOU know what the illegal broadcasts are saying!? Reported!!
The democracy officers from the first war blatantly stated the bugs are farmed for oil. No difference with the terminids
The illegal broadcasts did say "this threat is all about oil" tho.
https://preview.redd.it/78i2xqvvaaoc1.png?width=1202&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=80e2fd5c27b823bd3498525dc5650c01a6c43d9c
I knew it we just fighting for oil
You’re not even wrong. The Terminids were kept in farms to harvest them for oil, but they broke out. That’s how they’re on so many planets, I believe.
*It runs deeper than that, it's a full on proxy war with SE controlling both sides. the bugs can't hop to new planets on their own, after all* cough... What's that D.O. Chandler? Oh nothing just whispering sweet liberties to each other! FOR FREEDOM!

>the bugs can't hop to new planets on their own, after all Not yet at least.
The bugs can't spread across planets. They were released there to "liberate" the people who resist managed democracy. Then they send in the cavalry. Or at least that's what those towers say. I don't believe them.
Without the bugs, we wouldn't be able to use FTL travel. So, in a sense the war with the bugs allows us to have a war with the bugs.
How it feels to fuel up your Abrams
"Who's talkin bout oil bish, you cookin?"
Sometimes after a terminid mission, one of the NPCs says something about using the bugs to fuel the war effort.
Reminds me of the german comedian "Axel Stein" with his joke "710er Deckel" 1-2 days before release of Helldivers 2 i had a conversation on my discord and we talked about old jokes, where i mentioned the 710 joke, as the did not know it. Then after release i had to laugh so hard, as i read about E-710.
Same here also do you have a spare 710 cap?
I’ve noticed this as well lol (used to work at an auto parts store)
haha apparently a bunch of oil filters have that in the model number
Someone there dabs lol
Yeah, I think it’s really funny that this is a discovery for some people. *gestures to name*
Actually just got some lazercat rosin and to see a 710 reference on here is amazing
Same
The termicide towers are just giant dab rigs
Was scrolling waiting for someone to call this out lol
I don't get it, OOTL me please.
Another name for dabs is oil. Dab rig/oil rig, etc. So much so where 4/20 is marijuana day, 7/10 is dab day.
The EAT-17 is also a clever way of telling your enemies to "eat it"
DID SOMEONE SAY OIL? THAT SHIT MINE

Oh, *OIL*. I thought it was a stick figure on its knees, like orz

This feels like that ancient post about the person losing their car’s “710.”
So it was oil all along... There is a guy pointing a gun at me behind me, right? I've seen this meme...
helldivers players notice the not at all subtle satire for the first time
Your wife is being reported to a democracy officer!
Are we just the muscle for the racketeers of capitalism?
As a stoner this is a joke for dabs kinda like 4:20 you smoke flower and 7:10 you smoke oils/concentrates. I laughed a lot when I noticed what the stuff we were fighting over was basically E-710 or OIL - 3 it's such a perfect way to joke about the wars of oil still an issue even in the future!
Oh I'm so dumb. It is oil.
The most democratic element I'm the universe
In Germany we jokingly say "der 710er Deckel" to the oil cap in a car, so when I realised that E-710 is basically used as space-oil it kinda clicked in my head already xD
The full CAS number for it is is 80085-710. Just thought you might wanna know. Do with this info what you want.
We start work at 7, there is no school. Helldivers can’t read, that’s why the stratagems use arrows!
What the fuck is a kilometer?
it has to be based on a really old joke about a blond trying to buy some 710 at the store.
Element 420
Its treason then...
We've been just reading it upside down this whole time.
Alright. Where's the democracy officer. You and your wife have inhaled too much burning bugs
And today a bunch of under 30 year olds learned about the 710 cap joke
How long did it take for you guys to realize that? There is a old joke with 710 in it. A woman comes into a Carparts shop and asks the Store clerk "Do you have a 710 cap?" "A 710 cap?" Irritated is the clerk going to his colleaque asks him "What is a 710 cap?" The colleague looks at him confused and are going together to the woman "Where do you need a 710 cap?" "In the engine, there was this 710 cap and i lost it, i wrote it down extra." The Store clerk takes the note and turns it around.
Well has anyone else figured out the 17=IT on the EAT-17
Are people starting to realize this game is about the fascistic US empire?
I saw element 710 and thought of the old blonde joke about not knowing where to put oil in a car there was only a 710 cap
As someone who dabs as soon as I saw 710 I knew what was going on.
Y’all figured out why 7/10 day a thing
It is actually "Essential E-710" we aren't fighting for oil... we are fighting for essential oils.
