Oh, man, when I was in basic, everybody thought that the gas chamber was going to be the end of the world or some poo poo. Afterward, I was actually pretty happy to have done it because it cleaned out all the poo poo that had built up over a winter in loving Knox.

I swear to god I hacked a stream of mucus like 6ft long my first trip to chamber. I felt loving great afterwards though

When I got OC Sprayed when I was getting my riot control training done in Iwakuni they were pretty explicit to not take a shower afterwards and just let that poo poo evaporate off your dumb rear end. Hearing a 23 year old man scream like a little girl in his barracks room because he decided to take a shower was one of the funniest loving things I've ever heard.

I liked the one from the Brown thread where someone tried to say that the military was trained in deescalation.

I don't know if things changed after I got out or maybe I missed a briefing or 12. But the extent of deescalation was a few low level A10 fly bys. Which tended to quell violence, but I doubt in the manner they were insinuating.

They touched on deescalation when I got my riot control training but most of it was how to beat the poo poo out of protesters with a giant goddamn nightstick but do it humanely. Apparently you shouldn't aim for their collarbones to incapacitate them because it's cruel or some poo poo. But to be honest breaking someones collarbone seems like a pretty effective way to stop someone from being an rear end in a top hat :shrug:

Is anyone else greatly amused that OPEC is putting the screws to Russia by not cutting production?

Getting a serious bear and the dragon vibe off the whole thing.

It helps that China imports a poo poo load of oil from OPEC and in turn exports tons and tons of poo poo to them. IIRC they export more stuff to the Middle East than anywhere else on the planet. They got a good thing going and it's not like the Russians have done a loving thing for them in the region in the past 20 years. Them loving over Russia is just a happy coincidence imho

That's actually one of the most entertaining things about the whole scenario. I wonder if it's motivated by the Iranian nuke program or what, though.

Even if Iran managed to get its enrichment program in full swing would they even be able to develop, test and miniaturize a bomb to a remotely usable size quickly enough to not get deep dicked by the entire Arab world? I mean the goddamn Norks have an atom bomb but it's like 3x bigger than the trinity bomb and a 1/3rd as powerful.

Again, you are in the extreme minority in considering drug offenses a homogeneous category of crimes, most people see possessing a joint as different from large scale heroin manufacture. Running a large criminal enterprise is not a "petty" crime. Also, if you are going to accuse AR of perpetrating an injustice, your position should include some sort of argument for why selling heroin should be legal, which you have consistently failed to provide.

Selling heroin should be legal because it kills TCC posters

The TCC approved answer is that heroin should be legal because I can control it, it's not really a problem, only the stigma causes people problems, and hey anyone else lose feeling in their arms after a bad batch?

Mongols had 2 long centuries of peace and was hilariously wealthy until the bubonic plague hosed everything up. All it took was killing 10% of the total human population on planet. Provided you didn't try to start poo poo and paid your taxes living in the mongol empire was probably not horrible

Outside of hundreds of thousands of innocent people dying in the region, I just don't see the credible doomsday scenario that ISIS poses. Technologically they're incapable of doing anything of value and there's just no loving point in bothering. They sure as poo poo aren't going to be able to roll over the Iranians, because despite their hilarious North Korea esque antics, they can actually fight.

It's not like these idiots are even good at genocide in the first place.

The persistent belief in American exceptionalism makes "hey we can show people the light, it'll work, ya just gotta believe" an easy sell to the American people from anyone who wants to start a war anywhere. If also means that if you are arguing against the war being a smart idea, you are arguing against America being special, and therefore hate America and are bad.

America hasn't tasted real war on its own soil since 1865 so most Americans genuinely do believe we have bad-guy seeking bullets and that the rest of the world yearns to become exactly like Nebraska, if only some noble and pure American Soldiers show them the way and shoot enough of their relatives.

The only light of american exceptionalism I believe in is the W87

North Korea is exactly the sort of place that would send over some people to bomb a movie theater because of a national insult. Spite fueled terrorism is their whole thing. As soon as they stop being a credible scary country they lose everything, so they need to continuously act crazy and do at least enough to back up their crazy.

Except they can't back poo poo up. They piss and moan and in the end they're capable of doing gently caress all because they're a poo poo tier country run by a literal goon. The last time they've done anything terrorism related was almost 30 years ago with that passenger jet they blew up. You know back when the Norks could actually feed their people (more like the soviets giving them food).
