My "vacation" is a euphemism for war tourism in Ukraine for some "bloody work" to escape my boring techie job and family.

Ask me about my warcrimes.

Interesting 60% of Nikes sales are outside of the USA where the brand is suffering for being American, (shocking I know with president big deals running the show), this solves that while also making the brand stronger amongst the 70% of domestic buyers that are not chuds.

Also nobody is going to say poo poo about Nike dodging taxes and employing slave labor now. You line up on the right side of a social justice issue and you can get away with all sorts of corporate abuse.

It's a smart move for Nike and will sell them more products and give them a free pass on their horror show factories and tax dodging.

POW/MIA is based off a racist myth that the crafty Vietnamese who can only cheat at war actually have thousands of still living vets squirreled away, instead of skeletons in punji pits. Basically, Rambo 2.

Dude it’s true. I saw a documentary about it! Chuck Norris was the narrator.

You have no idea how much a role that movie played in influencing actual policy and legislation back in the 80s, and not just because Reagan was a dottering fool who misremembered his own performance in Prisoner of War as reality.

Among the many things I found amazing when I was researching this subject for like years was a note he'd handwritten on a memo to Kissinger concerning the Paris Peace Talk, it went something like "I've changed my mind, tell [Ambassador] Habib to talk only about POWs."

they don't know all alien abduction experiences can be explained by people thinking saving private ryan was a documentary

I think POW/MIA is more anti government than anything else, at least among the old vets I've talked to about it. There is a pervasive sense that we just started saying "gently caress the vets" in the late 70s, but really we just started "gently caress all humans that ain't rich" in the late 70s.

ive always been puzzled as to why conservatives are against birth control, judicious use greatly diminishes the usage of abortion

it turns out they just don't know how the biology worked to begin with and they're constantly confusing the two :sweatdrop:

It still allows for the fertilized egg to be destroyed, and the moment of conception is when human life begins in their worldview, hence most birth control is abortion and should be banned.

It absolutely carries within it a deep sense of abandonment by both society and government, particularly after it turned out that surprise! Nixon was just playing them the whole time. Dovetails nicely with the parallel myth about vets being routinely spat on when they returned home from their tours.
