Who organizes a fun run or any run at any FOB in an active combat zone. I mean isn't the main goal there mostly not get killed and not get overrun.

fun run in an active combat zone is when your bowels decide to evacuate the 16 pounds of condensed MRE matter in your colon and the shitters are on the other side of the COP

I'm legit surprised this is the first time something like this has happened(unless another run got attacked and I've forgotten about it) If you are drawing combat pay, it is not garrison and stuff like that is stupid on so many levels.

BAF has pretty tight security. That's not to say it isn't vulnerable (obviously). Two of my guys did uncover an ID counterfeiting cell run by LN contractors while we were doing construction there, which prompted interviews with the FBI.

Hey, at least his paintings are getting better. That's like, not terrible. His composition is still mindbogglingly basic as gently caress though, which is to be expected from someone with all the complexity of a 2x4.

To be fair, he has painted 98 portraits - presumably from photos - so the composition options are limited

You can have interesting composition even in simple portraiture. There's a million things you can do with space/color/etc beyond "that sure is a face." Check out Saturnino Herran, Phillip Gurrey or Lucien Freud. W is just a simple dude who doesn't have the orientation to do anything beyond surface level poo poo.

That was from October. He said some things back then which are now disappearing

quote:

Gone from the seven-point list (PDF) Trump put forth during his election campaign is a plan to allow the import of prescription medications. Also gone is a plan to require price transparency in healthcare, something the vast majority of Americans would likely support. There’s also no further mention of reforming mental health programs in the country or making individuals' healthcare premiums tax-deductible.

Instead, the new top issues on Trump’s healthcare plan seem to fit with Republicans’ pro-life stance: to “protect individual conscience in healthcare” and “protect innocent human life from conception to natural death.” The former would shield doctors, pharmacists, and other healthcare providers who refuse to perform or offer services that conflict with their religious or personal beliefs. Such policies are most often used in relation to reproductive issues, such as dispensing of contraception or performing abortions.

Also freshly on the agenda is a plan to “modernize” Medicare, something Republicans, particularly House Speaker Paul Ryan (R-Wis.), have long sought. Ryan’s past plan involved providing Medicare beneficiaries with a chunk of money to purchase private health insurance or a government-run program.

I was just there. They had fun runs and shadow runs drat near every weekend. Show up at 0530, sign up, get a free t-shirt. It's such a garrison atmosphere that the prevailing attitude seems to be that as long as you're inside the T-Walls and you don't get tagged by IDF, you're good.

Do a "shadow" 5k/10k/marathon/whatever at BAF at the same time the real deal is happening back in the states.

I think they even had it set up to where if you qualified in certain of the shadow runs at Bagram, you could automatically register for the Boston Marathon. Provided you'd be back home by then.

11 votes to ~325 million still gives you 270 EV if its the only votes cast in those states
