it's insane that you don't automatically gain citizenship from serving. "hey thanks don't let the door hit ya on the way out." why are they allowed to take non citizens otherwise?

"hey thanks don't let the door hit ya on the way out." why are they allowed to take non citizens otherwise? Between all the forever wars the volunteer military was coming up short on bodies. Bush's compassionate conservatism looked within and found that the right thing to do was a two pronged approach of allowing the lowering of the bar for recruits when it came to mental health and allowing non-citizens to serve with an ill-defined scout's-honor promise of citizenship at the end of their service.

Crabtree posted:You think Saturday Night Live is gonna take back its jokes? No, the old white fucks and boomers that harped about how that colored boy was not right in the head have forgotten who Smollett is right now conveniently, including my folks. Midwestern and southern whites deserve a goddamn ICBM. Needless to say, I was pissed, but it wasn't my place to complain in front of my entire office (to a woman to was giving this presentation over-the-phone to a bunch of other offices).

JazzFlight posted:Speaking of this, I was recently at an all-staff required sexual harassment seminar and even the presenter in the middle of the power-point mentioned "You know, sometimes there can be false accusations, too. Look at that actor who was on Empire who said he got attacked and now it's looking like you know, he made it up." After months of convincing I've finally managed to, at least, get my close family members to admit that Smollett was hosed over by the CPD. Even so, they no longer want to talk about it, the way they used to want to when they were sure he was faking it. And it seems like plenty of other people just heard "black man is faking it!" and instantly crystallized that belief in their minds. Smollett's assault hits really close to home for me and it has been one of the most frustrating "debates" I've ever had to deal with.

Reading the pre-9/11 reviews of Starship Troopers owns, because the reviewers don't see any of the social commentary at all. https://www.nytimes.com/1997/11/07/movies/film-review-no-bugs-too-large-for-this-swat-team.html quote:''Starship Troopers'' is the film version of Robert A. Heinlein's rabidly militaristic novel about a human infantry battling giant insects from the planet Klendathu. Speaking of other planets, where exactly are the hordes of moviegoers who will exclaim: ''Great idea! Let's go see the one about the cute young co-ed army and the big bugs from space.''

I also think CPD has figured out how to plug leaks so that stories like this don’t turn into the black site scandal that doesn’t seem to have affected the cities law enforcement policy. The country really doesn’t like Jussie and the CPD made sure to have the public on their side throughout by making the country hate him first.

I can't even feel certain that they were involved, now. From what we can pretty much all the important evidence in this case is the brothers' confession (obtained after 47 hours of interrogation from an infamously brutal PD), balaclava purchases before a record cold snap, surveillance footage of two distant, silhouetted men walking away, and incriminating texts that supposedly prove the hoax yet were mysteriously never leaked. Take out the likely bullshit confession/texts and it's all circumstantial.
