Kids, it's not cool to have Shane MacGowan teeth

The fact that they don't have magazines in the rifles makes me actually trust these guys more than the randos who don't literally worship their guns but run around in condition 1 across all their five weapons while in line at Subway.

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?

Lie and exaggerate about his actions that he was awarded the MoH for? The Army captain that was CO and was awarded the MoH years later, sure seems to think so.

Also he blew a medical retirement and a $3,600 a month MoH stipend on getting Sarah Palin’s hellspawn preggers. You just know child support is a motherfucker for him. I honestly hope he’s getting his money from the VA vice the DoD for his retirement and that his MoH stipend gets similar treatment to his VA money. I.E. No taxes and nobody can take it from you in court.

Yeah, I don't know if the IDF was expecting it to be the 2021 equivalent of crankin' it to the sears lingerie catalogue or something but the modern internet is so chock full of pornography that you can turn off the safeguards and accidentally find something to jerk off to in three clicks or less.

It's currently about $1,400.

Neither of hte MoH guys we're talking about live in Colorado Springs. Meyer lives in Texas and Swenson returned to active duty.

Your right I was thinking the stipend was closer to VA 100% W/ Dependents but it looks like it’s ~$1400 a month and taxed. Retirement pay gets a 10% bump for anyone w/ an MoH and the $1400 a month is added to not in lieu of any other pay.

$1400 a month seems extremely low to me.

He complained about dudes wearing kit who aren't in the service. He feels there is no need for a civilian to own or wear kit. He os mocking dudes who run their gear on the range and poo poo.

It gets better - by rule, the run can't score until the batter touches first base, so a lot of that was unnecessary!

But, the original throw hosed up, then the first baseman hosed up the throw to home, the catcher hosed up the throw to first, the pitcher hosed up backing up first base, and the throw back from the outfield was hosed up too.

I liked the little league phase when base stealing became permitted but before catcher competency caught up. If there were runners on first and third the guy on first would always jog to second after the next pitch as a throw from home would be far more likely to go into the outfield than catch the guy, and forget having the second baseman try to fire it home to catch the guy who was on third.
