No man ever did me so much good, or enemy so much harm, but I repaid him with ENDLESS SHITPOSTING

im only 31 though so i still got 40 years of scattered employment to save up to pay for the body recovery helicopter that will have to airlift my withered corpse out of yo momma

Imagine the future where you can’t log into your super account because you forgot the password.... you do a password reset, and realise your email service shuttered 20 years ago.

A United States Marines helicopter crew chief says Australian special forces shot and killed a bound Afghan prisoner after being told he would not fit on the US aircraft coming to pick them up.

...

He says the commandos then called up the US pilots to pick them and about seven prisoners up.

He says the Americans only had room on the aircraft for six.

"And the pilot said, 'That's too many people, we can't carry that many passengers.' And you just heard this silence and then we heard a pop. And then they said, 'OK, we have six prisoners'.

It's a climate protest. Why aren't you there?

VBVC was diagnosed with lung cancer in late 2012, 18 years into a prison stint for murder. He refused treatment unless he was granted parole. The parole board declined to consider giving him parole unless he was guaranteed a place at a palliative care ward in Townsville. He was approved for an internal prison transfer from Wolston correctional centre to Townsville, where most of his family lived, the day before he died in November 2013. A coroner found his care in both prison and hospital was appropriate and that he understood his decision in refusing treatment.

No, it's okay, I'll see myself out.

But seriously, that's 1950s level campaigning there. Are there going to be roving gangs of the lawless youth rampaging around inner city Brisbane followed by special curfew police?

There is no doubt that this is aimed at North Queensland, where "youths" exclusively means indigenous kids.

e: yep, just looked it up and the curfew is only for Cairns and Townsville

gently caress I just got around to reading this.

Apparently Australian special forces, at least one platoon named, had a reputation bad enough that the USMC didn't want to be a part of their missions. Compared to US and UK special forces, the Australians were noted for being unrestrained in their violence.

That's not very inspiring.

Is the upcoming SAS Australia TV show going to show Schapelle Corby murdering drug dealers? Seems problematic.

My mother dated this dude who had a 13 year old boy who was in the cadets and stuff, and everytime we had dinner he would go on and on about how he didn"t want to do "boring help people missions where you have to be careful" but wanted to go kill people when he got in to the big boy army

I guess he should be pretty close now, so he'll probably be getting deployed against Iran by whoever Joe Biden's Prime Minister is if anything, which won't have the same farmer hunting opportunities as Afghanistan did and he'll die horribly

Y'think we'd join an invasion of Iran?
