Lately I've been seeing a lot more people just straight up using ethnic slurs when discussing gun stuff on Facebook. Usually in regards to things like "I'm good with my guns, if you goddamned liberals should be taking anyone's guns it should be from *insert racial slurs here*", completely missing the historical precedent that they're advocating. (or not missing it and that being the whole point [it is the whole point])

I'm at a HQ right now so everything has to be on one quad slide because GO/FO have no attention span. And therefore all 40 slides worth of information gets jammed onto that quad slide.

Jeez. That’s not a lot of room left for information, after three of the four cells in that quad are taken up by a Title slide, the Composite Risk Management for the briefing, and “QUESTIONS?”

Probably for the best I’m not still in; I’m sure I’d catch a counseling as soon as the brass caught on that every product out of my shop had been reformatted into Loss.

What up, HQ buddy?

We found a way to make quad slides dumber.

Our last quarter is for issues we want the colonel or general to look into more closely.

Naturally, we're directed to leave that blank by our captain, because we wouldn't want to imply that the captain can't handle all issues at his level.

So it's 45 slides worth of info in three sections, and then a blank quarter.

If that's the case then why do you need the colonel/general other than to just sign stuff?

I'm thinking that UCMJ should only apply in active combat zones so that anyone can walk up to their commander and tell them how loving stupid they are without repercussion when they do stuff like this.

Pretty sure daddy dearest gave him the clearance anyway, he just had to amend his SF87 like fourteen times because he kept being asked about his crimes forgetting all the complex financial instruments he was involved in.

Which, ya know, that's totally cool to do and stuff. Not like you can get denied for amending that form too often because it's suspicious as all gently caress but hey rules are for little people.

Although if I’m being honest I’d much rather take the colonel/general that wants to help over the careerist captain/major that gatekeeps the poo poo out of everything. The O-4 level is where enthusiasm goes to die.

Something tells me this evacuation might be permanent. Overall, a big loss on our end since that could be used as a negotiating chip on the Russians or the Turks (if keeping nukes there was politically damaging). Shame we're giving up all this territory because Erdogan was able to convince Donnie that Trump Tower Istanbul is amazing and his government would love to rent loads of rooms there he totally wouldn't invade Rojava and commit genocide.

Keeping nukes at Incirlik seemed to be an exceptionally poor idea after the failed coup

Aug 2, 2008


A few years back some Turks, who didn't work there, got into Incirlik and tried to put a bag on some airman's head. Because again, they still have sand in their vaginas over something that happened in 2003, where they were completely in the wrong.

This is step one of that. You always review the evac plans before implementing them; we don't flush airplanes from a base for weather without looking it over first. Especially when we're talking about international nuclear movements.

Edit: Did Incirlik families ever go back after the coup?

As everyone else said, not really. At most, he's "in charge" of the impeachment reaction team, if that even exists. The impeachment drive basically eliminated any (semblance of) strategy in the white house, so everyone's back to spiking everyone else in the back on a minute by minute basis.
