Fun story. There's actually no legal definition of war under international law. What counts if an "armed conflict," which may or may not be lawful, and everything proceeds from there.

It's because all troops are heroic warriors defending freedom, and that's why we need to increase military spending.

Got a call back from the MSgt. in charge of the testing we were doing. The base has lovely Internet so the browsers were taking a long time to load, and he was concerned that everyone failed their tests (only one guy passed everything) because they didn't have enough time to finish.

I went through every single exam to prove to him that everyone had answered all the questions. They just loving sucked at the subject matter.

Based on everything I've seen from Navy supp-Os, they shouldn't even be trusted with office supplies.

Some of them are a bigger deal than that. Like if someone calls in a 9 line NBC report thats like STFU this guy has priority poo poo. Same with medevacs. Like it's usually really bad poo poo not being lazy or whatever your bus analogy is going for.
