Bozeman means "angryman" in Dutch so I've been lolling at this news from Montana. Also, let me tell you about the Dutch mountains... Majorian posted:He's a nut. He's crazy in the coconut. What does that mean? Edit: Dog tax (click the picture for the story)

Boon posted:Yokosuka but I miss Sasebo sometimes, that steak place with the old man is still my favorite meal of all time. I'm going to be taking off pretty shortly but I'll be back in January and I'm thinking of heading down there to see if the old guy is still around. I only passed through Yokosuka for a few days. Loved that you could walk out of the main gate and take the Keikyu line into Tokyo though. Also forget that other dude. Military is military. I was in a non-combat role myself but if poo poo goes down, you still have to be prepared for the worst. How's the World of Trump affecting Naval operations in the South China Sea and Sea of Japan anyway? I wouldn't be surprised to know that Mattis is directing more of the strategic placement of the fleet instead of Trump anyway.

For the most part, the Navy continues to operate as it has - at the operational level there are not meaningful changes. The big thing for the Japanese is that Trump reaffirms the alliance. Him, Mattis, and Tillerson have all emphatically done so which is much more meaningful to the Japanese than it would be to your typical westerner.

Though I have no idea of the political leanings of the paper, and only a high level idea of Missoula demographics, so I'm likely to be wrong about that. glowing-fish posted:Like, you East Coast people know that "Timberline" isn't just a brand name for clothing, that is a real thing, an altitude where trees don't grow? You do know that, right? All of your posts about this have been Rugged_Individual.txt but this is my favorite. Old James posted:"Montana is all a flat prairie." - glowing-fish if he lived in Nepal.

Eh I'm sorry. War sucks, I hate war, and I hate the endless armchair warmongering and Tom Clancy justifications for another loving war. I get real mad whenever I hear more "gotta fight em over there so we don't hafta fight em over here, or the smoking gun could be a mushroom cloud  "Boon I do enjoy your contributions when you talk about your everyday job, I'll try to keep my emotional reaction to your Clancy fantasies to myself from now on rather than poo poo up the thread with it. It's not like your posts in here are going to singlehandedly get us in a shooting war with North Korea and I'm p sure you don't vote for neocons so I shouldn't get personal.

If we have two subs near North Korea i would bet quite a bit that one is the Jimmy Carter engaging in some extremely clandestine poo poo and the other is a 688 or Virginia out of Pearl to make sure nobody bothers her neither have any canned sunshine though, definitely

I don't see Trump breaking alliances or even threatening to do something about their status but that's always up in the air. I'm more worried that he continues subtlety hinting at ramping up military aggression against North Korea or revealing military secrets like the existence of the SSGNs.

I hope Trump doesn't get us into another war especially with North Korea. poo poo, we're still dealing with the fallout of the Iraq invasion, continued Afghanistan occupation, and now Syria. But it's just the political climate that we're living in is causing heightened tensions all over the world so people turn to things they are familiar with and then want to discuss how that might affect larger issues like military conflict. But in the end, there is never a good justification for war besides being invaded. I hope we can figure out a diplomatic approach to deposing Kim Jong Un instead of with force but that chance is slowly slipping away. And I have no faith in Trump deescalating the situation though.

Its all good man! I'm pretty abrasive, stubborn, and argumentative sometimes and definitely deserve the heat, but I like that usually we're of the same mind. If we agreed on all things itd be a pretty boring thread

This isn't entirely wrong. Poverty is often reinforced by habits that are the result of being in poverty in the first place. This includes normalizing living paycheck-to-paycheck, spending a windfall as soon as you get it, etc. That's not to say being in poverty is one's fault, I per se.
