I love the photo of him in a dress uniform. His fruit salad would get him yelled at by RAARGH STOLEN VALOR types if they saw him on the street and he earned them all.

I will not shut up about the Mighty Morphin Power Rangers. I talk about them all the time and work them into every conversation I have. I built a shrine in my room for the yellow one who died because sadly no one noticed because she died around 9/11. Wanna see it?

That dude is 100% eating a bullet. There's no spinning "I'm an American mercenary hired to violently overthrow Maduro." I wonder if he'll just disappear or if his body will be dragged through the streets.

Look at the difference in kit a normal everyday soldier is expected to carry between the 80s and now. Seems like that could easily account for some of the difference.

I think it’s a generational thing beyond the increase in demand. Every group has a pretty stellar gym built into their facilities on top of the 5-7 other gyms around post. That’s not even factoring in all the stuff online for fitness. Even the most basic routine you can find online will still get you a decent amount of muscle if you stick to it. Strong lifts is as simple as you can get, not to mention CrossFit, despite its major flaws, keeps people honest as far as doing their workout is concerned.

Not that this is untrue, but there's a lot of other established Rhodesian dog whistle iconography that he would probably use.

It's going to be like the Gift of the Magi Mercs, where Maduro is trying everything he can to send dude back to the US with a 'the shithole that best deserves people like him' schtick and Pompeo is doing everything he can to prevent dude from coming back and to try to get him killed.

Or Ransom of Redchief Silvercorp, another O. Henry story.

I'm gonna guess that this is actually a smart move seeing as how we don't know enough about covid-19, especially with regards to people getting reinfected and the long term side effects that we still don't know about.

I'm sure it will change but for now it seems actually quite prudent.

On the upside, the current DA who has the case is pursuing charges so they may not get away with it completely.
