WOKE UP IN THE DESERT AGAIN

Mr. Nice! posted:

Being in a warzone where he was getting actively shot at in Libya didn't get him off the internet. He gets into Syria and then makes no further contact with anyone for over two years now. There is no way that he is doing anything of his own free will IF he is alive. It's really sad, but I'm torn because he was a war tourist while there are actual people dying every day in that shithole.

Everyone who enlisted as combat arms in the 2000s was basically a retard or a war tourist.

Caro at least skipped the silly poo poo en route to shooting at people in the desert.

I almost signed up for the Army on 9/11. Instead I got hosed up on a shitload of bourbon and was too hung over the next day to even leave my room. The day after my dad talked me out of signing up because he said I couldn't trust GWB. Dad was right.

I sincerely believed it was Iraq's doing until at least mid November 2011. Now after a lot of research I've figured out it was just the pentagon's doing, dressed up like Iraq's doing.

It's hard for me to spend a lot of time thinking about it as I'm busy coaching a professional football team in the pacific northwest who's mascot is a bird known for its love of the sea.

WHERE MY HOSE DRINKERS AT

Dude sent me a bunch of PMs about being a medic, poo poo was like Unabomber levels of crazy, and I just didn't know how the gently caress to respond.

Weeks after that I saw the NPR stuff, and my heart fuckin dropped. Dude was 100% scarily crazy.

At least he lived the dream instead of becoming a homeless alcoholic. People die every day, he probably got mad Libyan props before death. And while those are worthless he had no idea

One of the most horrifying and haunting things is clicking his FBI wanted page and realizing he'll forever be listed as a missing person who traveled to Syria in September 2012, via Turkey.

I really hope his craziness only intensified throughout whatever ordeal he finally went through and he just kind of drifted away into that great conspiracyland in the sky.

"..The high ground"
Sometimes people are just made to go out on adventures, and Caro was one of them. It's not like he would have done much in the US anyway, so he's like the successor to the Abraham Lincoln brigade, really.

Pity he went out this way, though.

WWI kicked off in France and Belgium 100 years ago today. Recognize.

quote:

Dulce Et Decorum Est

Bent double, like old beggars under sacks,
Knock-kneed, coughing like hags, we cursed through sludge,
Till on the haunting flares we turned our backs
And towards our distant rest began to trudge.
Men marched asleep. Many had lost their boots
But limped on, blood-shod. All went lame; all blind;
Drunk with fatigue; deaf even to the hoots
Of disappointed shells that dropped behind.

GAS! Gas! Quick, boys!-- An ecstasy of fumbling,
Fitting the clumsy helmets just in time;
But someone still was yelling out and stumbling
And floundering like a man in fire or lime.--
Dim, through the misty panes and thick green light
As under a green sea, I saw him drowning.

In all my dreams, before my helpless sight,
He plunges at me, guttering, choking, drowning.

If in some smothering dreams you too could pace
Behind the wagon that we flung him in,
And watch the white eyes writhing in his face,
His hanging face, like a devil's sick of sin;
If you could hear, at every jolt, the blood
Come gargling from the froth-corrupted lungs,
Obscene as cancer, bitter as the cud
Of vile, incurable sores on innocent tongues,--
My friend, you would not tell with such high zest
To children ardent for some desperate glory,
The old Lie: Dulce et decorum est
Pro patria mori.
