LITERALLY SHAKING posted:There's incentive not to gently caress up veteran benefits. Pissing off a population of mostly armed, retarded and crazy people won't end well for anyone. Not to mention invoices going to Northup-Gummond, Boeing, Lockheed-Martin, KBR, L-3, and so on get cut off before veteran benefits do. So there's a population of really well armed, retarded and crazy people in the mix if things shut down for a really long time.

Here's something else that the military will make nowhere nearly as awesome as it should be.quote:WASHINGTON (AP) — The Pentagon has sent new guidance to the armed services that lays out the military’s authority to disable or shoot down any drone that violates airspace restrictions over a U.S. base and is deemed a security risk.

It sure doesn't take long for a union to go FYGM once the senior members start making good money.

psydude posted:I like how this does nothing to really help the middle class or upper middle class, but makes sure to give rich people a massive tax break (assuming the current tax brackets and cutoffs map to the new ones, per that chart), while throwing a bone to the lowest tax bracket to make them think about switching teams. And jacking up the standard deduction is a wash in states with an income tax while it gives a huge tax cut in the states without an income tax. Say, don't states without an income tax usually vote Republican?

Arc Light posted:As noted earlier in this thread, the overriding sentiment on the part of service chiefs/secretaries tends to be "stay out of it" when it comes to domestic matters. They've moved well past "stay out of it" into passive aggressive slow rolling. There are a few JAGs probably trying to work out the forms for "Must respectfully refuse this illegal order." Which will be quite a trick given the years of work they've already put in making sure no possible order can be outside the authority of a command officer.

From my perspective on blue water sailing, yes, watch is boring and it is also really hard to stay awake while doing watch on watch off in the dead of night. You stay awake scanning that horizon anyway because you want to stay not dead. My favorite kind of skipper usually woke up the instant the AIS proximity or collision course alarm went off, and he expected us to be able to immediately point at the other ship's running lights. Then he'd get on the radio to make sure the other ship's bridge knew that we were out there. If he didn't get an answer, he'd stay up there staring angrily at the screen until whoever it was fell off the edge of the map. Because who knows what other kinds of fuckups are going on over there.

FrozenVent posted:Hey I'm the guy who used to drive the freighters your skipper was so worried about. Asking a freighter why they made a course change that put them on a collision course with a sailing vessel broadcasting on AIS at 0300 isn't a good reason to use VHF. Got it.

Dead Reckoning posted:It's a federal felony punishable by up to five years, which is pretty severe. My guess would be that they don't want to prove mens rea for aggravated assault or attempted homicide, or open the door to a self defense claim. So what. Get some holding cell snitch to say: " He said the lesser race was getting above itself, and that's why I shot at him. I'm sorry I missed." Hell, he might even say that in earshot of an honest person. Anyway, if you think convicting a nazi to a life sentence is too much trouble, then goddamn, you can slack better than anyone I stumbled across surfing porn on their work computer.

Holy poo poo. Some dumbass cop dragged an ER nurse our in cuffs for doing her job while protecting her patient. Every other ER and night shift nurse in Utah is going to look at every other cop in the state with hate in her eyes. That dumbass is going to be found in the back of his cruiser with his gun in his hand. And two bullets in his skull.
