Talked shit about cops to a guy I went to Iraq with who became a cop. I still give him shit for drinking his own piss. I treat him with contempt and he still thinks we’re friends.

I’m as leftist as it gets. I was called baby killer by someone at a mall when I was 19. I get their stance now, though at 19 I hadn’t killed any babys, still haven’t. But I thought I joined for the right purposes. 9/11 just happened and I was impressionable as a kid. It hurt. I thought I was doing the right thing at the time.

Impressionable kids were brought into a system that fucked them over. I thought I was doing the right thing by saving Americans that I thought were vulnerable. I’m not proud of where I’ve been or what I’ve done. I am proud that it helped me understand the world, and my subsequent choices. It disgusts me to know how many people I served with, that came away with a different understanding.

I felt we were there to help. We did some stuff that looked that way. Sometimes it even felt that way.

“Hey go feed the hungry and hand out school supplies”

And then on your way back “btw you’re passing by such and such on your way back, eliminate everyone who offers resistance.”

And you think of the kids “hey thanks for the crayons, but I really wish you didn’t kill my dad and 2 of my uncles in the process”.

My son idolizes me and my time in Iraq. I keep telling him that’s not something to look up to, and the job is full of pain. I honestly don’t know where I’m getting at with this, other than there’s no excuse for wars that didn’t need to happen. The military industrial complex decides we dont have enough information for the next war, so we start a new one with a smaller adversary and make up excuses.

“in America, we fight for freedom and liberty!”

Didn’t realize you were going for that off of only Japan.

24 life sentences for forgetting I had a case of water under the cart? One life sentence per bottle. You got away with the packaging. They didn’t even make it into my car!

Norway. And let them call it their berserker force.

Yeah and a large amount of those are MIRVs that release several shells per missile.

That’s also assuming the 75% never fire, and your anti-missile defense isn’t taking out ones that don’t work. Nuclear war isn’t a betting mans game. Everyone loses.

25% of 5,000 = 1,250.

I’ve been playing jet moto with my kid. Just like I did with my dad, back in 1996.

Womp womp.

Russia is struggling against one country, how TF do they think they could take on Europe as a whole?

Aren’t the danish the ones with submarines that we can’t track? I may be wrong about the country, but I remember a northern European country having diesel submarines that were ghosts to us. Not as long of range, but we legit simply couldn’t track them.

As they should be.

Super advanced, so advanced that Iran shot what 3 down?

Americans don’t either. Rocky mountain national Park, like 40% of people were going off trail.

Good call.

Televised, to raise money for public broadcasting, and replacing funds that were withheld. Make it exciting, like wipeout, but instead of big padded bars and water, there’s katanas and boiling oil.

Imagine not stealing a joke. I upvoted the main post as it was good, but that should be good enough, it was solid. Ya didn’t need to steal the joke on top of it.

Not a movie, but mysteries at the museum puts me to sleep every time. They reuse the same overblown words for everything so it winds up that every single item they talk about sounds alike. Between that repetition and the guys metronomic cadence and almost whispery voice, puts me to sleep every time.
