Who cares everything is dumb even arguing that things are dumb because of other dumb things You know who I'm talking about Anyway, Duffle blog doesn't miss a beat: http://www.duffelblog.com/2015/02/army-phrases-twitter/ quote:“The Army not only wants to be America’s battlefield warriors,” said Conway. “This step will show our efforts to be social justice warriors as well.”

Overheard an amazing GiP IRL coversation Saturday night at the bar. Former Army Shadow (I think, could be Hunter, idk) Drone operator talking to a Navy pilot who recently got out. The three of us are shooting the poo poo and somehow PTSD gets brought up, they both look at me, because thinking "Marines all fight" before I explain the magnitude of POG I was thanks to the Air Wing. The Army guy, who's probably at his upper limit of buzzed becoming drunk, starts telling us a story. When he was in Iraq, they had them out flying watch over a busy stretch of the Highway that connected Baghdad to Falluja since suicide bombers had been hitting poo poo in the area. So he's flying his drone when they see an older black Mercedes flying through traffic, going in and out of lanes, weaving, just blowing by everyone. Super loving suspicious so he follows it and watches it just going in to oncoming lanes to get by people, weaving on to the shoulder, etc. So they're thinking dude has to be some manner of Muhj out to blow up a checkpoint, and he's within a mile or two of the checkpoint. So they decide to get the Apache nearby to light it up with a Hellfire while they keep it tagged with their onboard. They get word a few days later it was a newly wed couple going on their honeymoon, dude says it still dogs him to this day how lovely he felt. Navy pilot takes a sip of his drink, looks him right in the eye and asks him "Why does that make you sad?" "I killed some innocent people." Navy pilot pats him on the back and gives him a hell of a cowboy speech, to paraphrase "No, dude, you didn't, you killed a loving rear end in a top hat. If I could be guaranteed my taxes would be spent on drones flying down the highways of America blowing up people who drive like complete loving idiots, I'd happily pay the IRS anything it wanted. The driver was putting every person on that highways lives in danger by doing what he did, not just by being a lovely driver, but by doing it in a war zone where collateral damage happens. gently caress that guy, you guys just helped prove Darwinism still exists. If I could have gone out and dropped bombs on the I-5 on every rear end in a top hat kid driving like a maniac, I would have done a full 20 years. I'm sure almost anyone would. You did the world a service. Don't feel bad about doing a good job." Drone guy's expression goes from sad and thoughtful to an Al Pacino smile. You could tell he'd never looked at it like that He then buys us a round and tells us about making GBS threads in someone's laundry hamper.

My favorite PTSD story is a junior officer in the navy who to PTSD on his non-deploying ship because his CO yelled at him a bunch for doing lovely on paperwork. Like dude is loving medically retired. I won't deny that he had a nervous breakdown because he absolutely did, but he certainly brought almost all of the pain on himself. A few posters here might actually know the guy, too, from also being on Hawaii ships.

See, stories like this make me want to blame my anger issues on watching people get droned live on a huge projector wall and get sadbrains bucks.

One of my old roommates is heading off to his senior O3, junior O4 tours in a year or so. His initial reaction to me telling him ensign so and so was getting a PTSD discharge was one of the funniest things I've ever seen. Now, I'm not going to say he's some lone anomaly. The command climate on that ship was horrible and even caused an O-4 to lose his drat mind. This was a place where one of the ensigns would write tattletale notes and drop them in the CO's suggestion box on the other JOs. Like she'd write up if someone was late to work and anonymously rat them out. Either way, though, he was still the most junior of officers on a ship that didn't deploy and still loving broke mentally like few people I've ever seen.

He's so proud of himself (and probably sporting a tiny rock hard boner) by the end.

Cory Doctorow writes satire now? I thought this article was satire, but then I saw that Cory Doctorow wrote it, and now I'm not sure because Cory Doctorow is a tremendous loving retard who I strongly doubt is capable of writing anything remotely clever or funny.

I looked him up. 43 year old canadian, so probably stupid. but his article was funny and had a good few parallels worth a loud breath out thru the nostrils. it's satire whether he meant it or not.
