I got a lovely coin from a two star general because he liked my meat loaf. I was a cook in the National Guard

I got commissioned by the CNO (chief of naval operations - top military person in the navy) and then had a mock commissioning the next day with the CJCS (Chairman Joint Chiefs of Staff - top military officer over all branches). Both of those guys had an aid that literally just followed around them with a stack of coins (and more in a nearby bag) to drop in the admiral's hand when he reached behind him.

the way the game works is each coin has the officers rank on it. If you have a higher ranking coin, then the other guy has to buy a round. Only douchebags do it, though.

Drone pilots, especially ones who kill, tend to be at risk for really severe PTSD. This came up in some debates my institution had on the subject of military use of drones. I won't link footage, but drone visuals, especially missile cams, tend to be pretty horrific if you're the person at the controls. The videogame detachment people talk about isn't usually there.

When they show footage of drone bombings its a really grainy black and white feed. Is it actually color and more HD?

"He knows what he's doing. It's intentional,'' said Matthew Schindler, a lawyer helping co-defendant Kenneth Medenbach. "I don't believe he makes choices without a strategic focus.''

Mumford may be trying to mimic Bundy's narrative – that the federal government hasn't listened to his concerns and that's why he needed to make a stand.

The judge's consistent slap down of Mumford's questions could play into his defense of Bundy, legal scholars and other lawyers say.

He could be setting up an argument to jurors at the end of the trial: "See, they aren't even letting you hear about the most critical evidence in the case. The government can do what it wants, and they're not even giving us a fair fight,'' said Portland criminal defense lawyer Kevin Sali.

Or perhaps Mumford's marathon cross-examinations of witnesses – marked by seemingly random questions far beyond the scope of the charges and long pauses as he figures out his next query – might be designed to confuse jurors.

With the government's case resting heavily on the defendants' own recorded statements and social media postings, photos and videos before, during and after the refuge occupation, "maybe all that's left is trying to cast doubt about the government's actions and the propriety of the government's actions,'' said Tung Yin, a Lewis & Clark Law School professor.

So are challenge coins the kind of semi-official thing where whenever there's an excuse to make one you do and design it however you want? Like how with specialized missions or rocket launches they always make a unique patch for everyone involved and they put crazy poo poo like dragons and robot-minotaurs and skeletons on them?

And what circumstances would you really have to throw down a challenge coin for the possibility of free beer? Does it have to be with someone who would also have the exact same coin? So a "I was in the Navy" one would work, but what are the odds in civilian life you could use your "General Soandso gave me a challenge coin from his goody bag" one? Or does any coin work for any challenge, and getting one from the POTUS means you automatically win the rank showdown.

Con: the drone has direct visual on the people being exploded, and needs to KEEP that direct visual to confirm effect and, depending, watch for the explodees friends, potentially to explode them too.

Not surprised to hear that. I work for a book printer, and despite our developing and giving away design software for free and repeatedly telling them to either use our software or InDesign/Photoshop, we still get a half dozen people a year who do their entire book in PowerPoint or Word then expect us to magically make it not poo poo resolution, not to mention the proper dimensions. And this is for something that people pay thousands of dollars for. I can't imagine what kind of horrors a designer at a place like that must see on a daily basis...
