Well obviously he wasn't actually drinking. A tier 1 operator like Garland knows the red dawn could happen at any minute, he would never jeopardise the free world by allowing himself to get buzzed when that's exactly the kind of weakness the Russian horde would love to exploit

If anything The Cobbler is the weird blip on his CV, not the Oscar win. Admittedly I haven't watched his stuff in a while so I can't speak about details, but I love the poo poo out of The Station Agent.

I think they expected Iran to be a more conventional combatant compared to guerillas or whatever. I don’t know dick about Iran so I can’t say how reasonable that is.

After the war game was restarted, its participants were forced to follow a script drafted to ensure a Blue Force victory. Among other rules imposed by this script, Red Force was ordered to turn on their anti-aircraft radar in order for them to be destroyed, and was not allowed to shoot down any of the aircraft bringing Blue Force troops ashore.[2] Van Riper also claimed that exercise officials denied him the opportunity to use his own tactics and ideas against Blue Force, and that they also ordered Red Force not to use certain weapons systems against Blue Force and even ordered the location of Red Force units to be revealed.[3]

assuming we're not starting a war with north korea first, they'd be by far the most well-equipped country we've fought since the last time we invaded korea

that being said that only people on earth stupid enough to still think any other country is gonna fight us on our own terms via conventional warfare are the joint chiefs of staff

If I recall, there was a small derail on the OSHA thread where they detailed on just how much weird poo poo Van Ripper did and how kind of nuts the way he won "creatively". More or less you had wahabists on mopeds hurling ICBMs with their own arms in order to circumvent the tech defenses.

There was a load of bullshit on both sides. The parameters they had Van Riper operate in (turning on his radar so blue could bomb his air defences, forcing him to disclose unit locations, forbidding him from using his chemical weapons stockpile, etc. etc.) were absurd, it's not difficult to see why he tried to gain an unrealistic advantage to offset the equally ridiculous conditions imposed upon him.

In any case the joint forces command report on the exercise outright admitted that the game ended up rigged to ensure a blue victory so lol at aggrieved armchair generals deciding that actually it was totally legit, America's #1 forever

Also as a side note Wahhabis consider Shi'ites to be the very worst kind of infidels, so I don't think they'd be hurling ICBMs from mopeds for the Ayatollah even if they could

He also did poo poo like have a hive mind of rafts carrying anti-ship missiles that weighed more than they did, that "instinctively" knew where the US ships were at all times without using any form of communications

He would also just straight up ignore when his stuff got sunk or blown up if he felt like it

Dead Man’s Band
The cafe owner—a bearded man in a North Face fleece—had recently attended a town hall held by the local Democratic congressman, Ron Kind, a Third Way stalwart and former chair of the House’s centrist New Democrat Coalition. “I’m not, like, a jumping-up-and-down Berniecrat,” the man said. “But what you see in these congressional meetings is a refusal to even play ball” with ideas considered too extreme, like single-payer health care. “All these centrist ideals,” he said, “are just perpetuating a broken system.”

This was a direct attack on the very premise of Third Way’s existence. These were not the ideas of the middle 70 percent. These were not the voices of an America that wanted to find mutual understanding with its neighbors. They were, essentially, separatists, proud of their extremism and disdainful of the unenlightened.

It was after this exchange that Hale, after she and Watson got back into the Yukon to debrief, as they did after every session in order to compose their eventual after-action report, had to stop and vent. Her problem wasn’t that people were wrong. She had managed to maintain her equanimity while hearing other groups express opinions she disagreed with. It was that they didn’t want to get along.

(The end-result report? Bullshit, of course.)

According to the report, the community’s “biggest frustrations” are “laggard government and partisan squabbling.” “The idea that such bickering can be tolerated in D.C. is appalling to most,” it states. The good people of western Wisconsin, Third Way found, wanted nothing so much as a society where people could put aside their differences. The report quotes a man who said, “We come together on projects and solve problems together.” It doesn’t quote any of the Wisconsinites we met who expressed partisan sentiments or questioned the prospect of consensus.

Do they ever show what happens if he puts on a woman's shoes? Because by far the most implausible thing about that film is the idea that a cobbler is putting on a pair of a his customer's shoes isn't so he can jerk off in/on them.
