I miss the days when conspiracies revolved around cool poo poo like the secret human/alien base in Dulce :(.

EDIT: I mean, Dulce had everything: a secret underground base run jointly with aliens, firefights between Delta Force & the Grays, human alien hybrids etc. . The list is endless.

So, which came first, OG Deus Ex or the Dulce conspiracy?

I don't want to poo poo up the CE thread with this, so the political picture thread seemed like the best place.

Somebody made a highlight reel of bad choices in the latest tell-all book about the 2016 Clinton campaign. Excerpts are from "Shattered: Inside Hillary Clinton's Doomed Campaign." Mostly based off interviews with staffers. Thanks to the lovely nature of twitter, you'll need to click the link and scroll way up to see the start of this.

It's terrible decisions all the way down, without any self-doubt whatsoever.

Also, :lol: at the serious discussion around using "Because It's Her Turn," as the campaign's actual no-poo poo slogan, after nobody was able to articulate a reason she wanted the presidency beyond naked lust for power.

In WWII, the US put out a whole series of posters to identify soldiers of the Allied powers and tell GIs that those were good guys so please don't shoot them.

Sometimes, I think we're not actually in the darkest reality, because at least we still have batshit crazies to laugh at.

How quickly things change.

My old NCOIC has been slobbing Trump's knob ever since the election. Every day, he shares obviously biased pro-Trump "news," which is usually completely counterfactual.

But not today. Acting to maybe, possibly, avert future crippling government shutdowns? Burn the heretic!

Is it common for dress uniforms to have so many god drat ribbons?

Doubly so for the USAF. Other branches have badges for marksmanship, stripes for longevity, etc. The Air Force uses ribbons for drat near everything, so we look like third world dictators.

It was previously mandatory, but the Air Force just changed the rules to allow us to wear some, all, or none of our ribbons. Nowadays if you see an airman with a million ribbons, it's his personal choice to look like a dork.

My favorite in the type one era Navy is being forced to wear one of two models of steel toed boots approved for shipboard wear to the office.

Because you never know when you'll have to fight fires while discussing medical history with patients.

That's weird as poo poo. I had steel toe boots I kept at my desk for heavy maintenance work, but I just wore sneaker-weight ultralights the rest of the time.

I always assumed the Air Force had the least common sense of the DoD, but I guess I learn something new every day.

I remember when the new CO came over the 1mc to complain about how weak the crew was after a rash of suicide attempts. SWOs are quite the community.

How often do officers get thrown overboard?

I feel like I would see it on the news, so the answer is "surprisingly infrequently."
