Let's all take a moment to remember that one guy in our unit. You know him. The one that went around the FOB shooting animals, and was never without a fat lip of skoal and skull full of space.

Statistically, someone, if not several someone's, in this very community of vets, and all communities of vets, were or are that guy.

Fact. Science fact.
Shim science or: Shimience.
Shimience is a narrow field I'll grant you, but I love it. :(

I've heard a good bit of stories of our snipers just leisurely shooting dogs by the fuckload while pulling security around objectives. Another of a platoon buying a herd of local sheep to test a gustav flechette round on. Tons of people out there just love killing poo poo for the sake of killing poo poo.

I feel this queasy sense of relief that they were considerate enough to buy livestock instead of just lobbing it at an occupied structure next time they were taking fire.

We had a duck someone stole off an objective that just chilled on the fob, swimming in puddles and eating whatever good food we could find for it. Some newly-tabbed specialist flies in mid-deployment, spots the duck and just loving kills it with a 2x4. Dunno why he didn't get smoked for that.

Camp Vivanini wasn't to bad :) we would have our families send us limoncello and wine lol an officer once kind of got mad we were drinking and playing cards in our quarters because it was offensive to Afghan culture but we pointed out that there weren't any Afghans IN our quarters and he just left.

Italian rations! Hold on let me find a link to a site with the list. They're not as good as homemade but 1009009% better than the lovely American rations I've tried

The 75th is essentially that Venn diagram in a lot of ways, brother. Whether it's young dumb rangers going GTAV on a bank with a Canadian on point and making plans or cutting off and bringing back an enemy KIA's hand after being asked for biometric confirmation from them while they're doing a post kinetic SSE.

Neither of those are exaggerations in any way shape or form, it's actually understated if anything.

And the snipers were shooting dogs on the objectives like loving crazy during their over watch. And it's not just Joe. I saw a First Sergeant and at least one officer shoot dogs for no good goddamn reason on objectives too.

Remember this is the same regiment that had guys running around at at their Ranger Rendezvous with "Thank God For The Swim Test" shirts on, man.

That particular iteration of the 75th ranger regiment is what you got when RIP / ROPE, a 5 mile run, and Ed Hardy Fashion sense were the only pre reqs to getting your cool guy CT on in the GWOT.

The square pegs of UAV's and Direct Action Special Operations can totally fit into all these drat national security round holes we've got, though!

Anyone wanna take bets on how long it takes John Q. Public to realize we've hollowed out the entire DoD to bulk up SOCOM, the NSA and I guess sexual assault prevention and gender transitions for military inmates?

I'm betting they never figure it out before the quickening arrives and the day of many sunrises erases our misspent pasts in an iridescent radioactive glow.

A 160th pilot hitched a ride with us back to the us once and spent a bit of time hanging out with the sniper and recce guys. Its no surprise then that I overheard him say they were a bunch of homosexual sociopaths.
