Ask me about the time during multiple med lab draw downs how I found a unsecured trailer full of comsec encrypting gear and other commo related items (SB-22's, field phones, and teletypes).

Commanders response?

I liked coming home the weeks following the election, and people expecting me to have a political commiseration over Trump's victory in my uniform because our command insisted we be in loving uniform.

Like I tried to stay non committal and optimistic, but eventually had to loving say something like, "You know not everyone in the military votes Republican.'

My old reserve unit had people voting for Perot and Nader.

its curtains for Kevin posted:

The sun has been up for 10 minutes. The blinking of dishes in the DFAC mixes well with the incomprehensible chatter of troops. Pogs angrily shake their fist, yelling to the sky, complaining about how those damned infantry man just don't appreciate how vital all of their bureaucracy is to the corps of jerks and man. The Airman laughs at the infantryman because for every magazine the infantryman fires another 300,000 USD in McAllister plastic and steel are dropped on that same kilometer into that thin fiberglass sand all of us took home in our lungs as a souvenir.

A man who barely has the right to recite in guttural tones the word of devout zealots, centuries old, is rewarded for his faith by losing his son and the camels his family has raised for 3 generations to drifters who lost control of their Toyota Pajero while doing donuts on the same MSR that US solders slowly trundled down to Baghdad on to paint a mural in blood and sinew, consumed by revenge and the lust for death. A man lazily observes a carcass consumed by the pond less than 10 meters from his canvas home.

A porta shitter is defiled with the humble likeness of winged, dancing mad cocks, a devout shrine to the milf godfigure, a nurturing and fertile diety adored. An officer is promoted for something his staff sergeant accomplished and celebrates with alcohol and his favorite supply specialist under his desk that afternoon. The Marine contemplates the meaning of life while he conducts morning pt. A foolish child, tricked by the devil himself, Sergeant First Class Jones, is given 6+2 years of assurance that he is 'definitely' going Airborne Ranger. Somewhere, a Sergeant and his driver are lazily eyeballing a HET cab, blackened by the soot of the exhaust that came unbolted, pondering just how much of the windshield wiper fluid box was inhaled by the operators as it melted halfway through the mission.

We break bread over the cold rivets of our nukes, cursing the swamp of incompetence we were swallowed by and live, live as men can when given the chance, lives unfettered by the meaningless concerns of others. We grow old, weary of even nostalgia. There is pride, but it is a bitter pride and a callow life with all our brothers present would have sufficed. A Command Sergeant Major naps bloated on the savanna, digesting his meal.

An overlooked tire from a trailer bounces free from its earthly ties and rolls unbound, a third world tumbleweed that crests a dune and coasts serenely into a nearby wire fence. A random truck already sagging with rice bags sags further still as it drives off with its new prize within minutes. A convoy spends 10 hours looking for it anyway before combat lossing it. The Brigade Commander causes an entire complex to lose access to the net after he plugs in his iPhone to his personal SIPR netbook.

A warped, broken man dies on the steps of the institution created for his health and welfare.
Pumpkin spice coffees are advertised in the local Green Bean for military spouses. Soon, it will be winter and, with it, the promise of death, a year closer.
