They didn't do a good job, we're just really loving stupid.

Eh, I'd say a little of column A, a little of column B. But I'll concede that it's more of column B (the column that says we are stupid).

I think the biggest irony of this whole thing is the party that has been praising McCarthyism is the one taking Russian bait, hook line and sinker.

Russia did a good job; seems like all their objectives are being hit. The fact that, even as this all comes to light, people are still yelling "emails! Benghazi!" is likely something they predicted. No need to be worried about getting caught when you can rely on the conspiracy theorists to turn everything back on those drat socialist leebrals. They've done their homework, they know how dysfunctional our media and politics are.

Tillerson only took the job because his wife wagged her finger at him:

However, he said that when he returned to his Texas home after meeting Trump in New York, his wife, Renda St Clair, shook her finger in his face and said: “I told you God’s not through with you.”

What an odd thing to lie about, though. It would be so easy to just say "Yeah, we wanted to celebrate our military, and Trump has long supported the military, but it turned out it'd be a hassle and cost too much money and distract are troops from doing their jobs" and then drop it

So how much trouble is that guy in? Is this sort of thing going to get him tossed out of the Marines? Or do they not care?

The Army Reserve is courting people in the IRR pretty hard right now. $20k plus your choice of reclass to whatever MOS or branch you want.

Don't do it.

Wow, I was just guessing about the $20k thing. Getting to reclass to any MOS sounds fake though, they're gonna need combat arms if they wanna invade Syria.

Not 'fake' as in they're making that up, 'fake' as in they will yank you from whatever MOS you picked.

Nah, they'll just get creative at interpreting MOS missions. Logistics coordinator? Well, logistics transports weapons and ammo, so you're practically a combat MOS anyway!
