Biff Fuckerton III joined the marines largely because of his fondly remembered evenings as a child listening to stories from grampa about how the Vietnamese 12 year old actually really liked him and yes money did change hands but there was an element of romance involved ok

of course but numbers wise you'd expect them to be crowded out by cops and rich tourists. 38% is so high

West Point over its holiday break will remove a portrait of Robert E. Lee in Confederate uniform as well as a bust of the general from prominent spots on campus, carrying out directives that were included in a defense authorization bill for 2021.

Lt. Gen. Steven W. Gilland announced these steps and more in a letter to the West Point community posted on the military academy’s web site.

“During the holiday break, we will begin a multi-phased process, in accordance with Department of Defense (DoD) directives, to remove, rename or modify assets and real property at the United States Military Academy (USMA) and West Point installation that commemorate or memorialize the Confederacy or those who voluntarily served with the Confederacy,” Gilland wrote.

this might be a controversial opinion, but maybe people who start actively loving up peoples' lives just because they're bored shouldn't be given guns and let loose to do whatever they like with effective impunity

hundreds of troops just like this one

war deprived

no direction

an 18 month red cycle with no missions

forced to gently caress little kids and do weird drugs simply because there are no wars for them to gently caress little kids and do weird drugs in

Won't you pledge to start a war for them today? :ohdear:
