Sup been in the middle of nowhere and came back to insanity buddy.
I just moved to Lacey, WA a month ago and just went on a 10 day anniversary trip to Bryce and Zion NPs. Coming back this has burst my bubble of America eventually getting back to normal. One of this threads posters had commented that his father was in Chile during the coup and how unarmed leftists would be murdered and left in the street by right wing militias. If armed leftists showed up the industrial military machine was dropped on them. I believe Trump is attempting his lazy fascism in typical Trump incompetent fashion.

As crazy as the history of Michael Rienhofel is this still was a political murder for revenge after the MAGA self defense killing in Portland.

I don't want to raise my mixed kids in America. I don't want to watch as decency and decorum continue to give rise to this orange skinned Putin copycat. I can just imagine the disputed election showing 51% Biden. But after all the insurrectionist violence in the streets after Trump declares fraud election and open season for his Y'all Qaeda, Biden will concede to bring America healing and progress. Then we are hosed with 4 more years. That's when the quiet parts go loud and official. That's why it's time to find a country that's willing to brain drain America and get the hell out while the getting is good. 3 months to election, 6 months to inauguration. I'm hoping that's enough time.

There is a lot going around about the whacking of the Portland Shooter. The local Sheriff is doing an independent investigation (Ha!), because Marshall's Service didn't contact anyone, and it wasn't until locals inundated 911 with calls of a dozen armed men in Body Armor shooting that they found out it was the Fugitive Task Force. There were no body or dash cams.

A woman who lived next to the scene said that they just opened fire. There were no calls of Identification, and she said he didn't go for poo poo- they just opened up. She has since deleted the status, but it fits, since the Marshall's originally said he went for an AR, and are now saying he motioned for a handgun.

I know this poo poo has been covered but I want to vent to you folks anyways.

My Brother-in-law was one first Marines killed on 2003. Go to amazom and look up Tom Rick's book "Fiasco". The paperback cover is my BIL's body under that flag. He was a good dude. Son of immigrants he worked at loving Wendy's with my Sister in law, Joined the Marines to get the gently caress out of the cycle. Gets trained as a M249 gunner and killed on the first few days of the invasion. I think he was number 84 or so. Such a good dude. Just wanted a better life for himself and my SIL. From what I know he was shot in the back and because his IBA had no rear plates... you get the picture. Such a good guy.

I collect military crap and when I have a name I research it. Just kids, most of the time, doing what they thought best.

Then that POS in the White House says this. I hate this gently caress moron than anybody around me can possibly imagine. He shits on my glorious enlisted ancestors. Uncle Ralph may have been a drunk but goddammit he fought Nazis. I wear his dogtags nearly everyday.

I am so sick of moronic assholes with their "trump 2020" poo poo. I hate it and, frankly, I hate them.

Fiasco is the book that changed me from a Republican to a Democrat. I was so sickened by the arrogant smugness of Cheney, Rummy and Wolfowicz I just couldn't identify with the party/ideology anymore.

I attended the Military History Instructor Course At Fort Leavenworth and I had the time of my life. The dude who talked to us about Army Press warned us about Rick and his book. Kinda funny. I used it in my class that I teach.


Juan was a very good guy. He enjoyed the Marines, as much as you can. I wish he was still here. I could give him him poo poo about Terminal Lance. Oh, and Mexican jokes. He was all about that.

It's a difference in scale. He's poo poo on Gold Star families that yelled at him and poo poo on John McCain. It was usually some twisted version of reciprocity.

making GBS threads on military war dead is something completely new. There were lots of tone-deaf quotes about him not understanding things like military honor and selfless service, but a flat-out making GBS threads on war dead was not something we knew about before.

So that's leading to a lot of things like this:

I get what you're going for; after all the heinous poo poo he's done, why does particular thing - which is completely in character for him and perfectly mirrors things he has said in the past - suddenly have people up in arms?

It's because in people's minds, particularly on the right, the military is synonymous with America. It may be just bullshit, knee-jerk troop worship, where they don't really give two shits about how we're used or what happens to us, but the idea of "supporting the troops" is so ingrained that it's become an American cultural norm.

It's a political given that, at the very least, you need to pay lip-service to the heroism and sacrifice of those wounded or killed in action. Trump could get away with insulting McCain because it was one specific guy who opposed Trump. Now he's categorically called every POW, WIA and KIA losers and suckers. It's pretty much blasphemy against the American civil religion.
