Where do parachutists fit in with a modern military anyway? If things are so dire that we can't land planes to unload soldiers, would light infantry have any survavibility? Or are they the ones taking runways and such so the heavier equipment can follow?

Airfield seizure, but why we need an entire division of light infantry on jump status is a great question.

quote:

On Jan. 28, Trump called Putin for what should have been a routine formality: accepting a foreign leader’s congratulations. Former White House officials described Trump as “obsequious” and “fawning,” but said he also rambled off into different topics without any clear point, while Putin appeared to stick to formal talking points for a first official exchange.

“He was like, ‘Oh my gosh, my people didn’t tell me you wanted to talk to me,’ ” said one person with direct knowledge of the call.

quote:

In a summer 2018 call with Prime Minister Theresa May, Trump harangued the British leader about her country’s contribution to NATO. He then disputed her intelligence community’s conclusion that Putin’s government had orchestrated the attempted murder and poisoning of a former Russian spy on British soil.

quote:

In another call, in April 2017, Trump told Philippine President Rodrigo Duterte, who had overseen a brutal campaign that has resulted in the extrajudicial killings of thousands of suspected drug dealers, that he was doing an “unbelievable job on the drug problem.”

What the actual gently caress. :stonklol:

I've read a lot of reports from soldiers on exactly how bad that thing is, I'd almost consider it a form of torture to feed that thing to people.

It was among the grossest things I've ever eaten, I sort of wonder if Natick or whatever actually taste tested it.

You mean basically most of America that isn't a city. We've become two effectively separate countries at this point and live in essentially different worlds and that terrifies me, how do we even begin to reconcile that?

Scaled for population.


Not to mention that large swaths of red have literally nobody living in them.


As I said it's an issue of cities vs. rural areas being politically and socially disconnected (even though we're interdependent on everything else) if not in direct opposition. The cartogram distorted for population is a great way to visualize it though.

Yeah dude but statistically nobody loving lives in the middle. A lot of these states have rounding errors for population.

When we say middle though what are we meaning? Most states between the Mississippi River and California? Yeah that's mostly empty. The urbanized South (e.g. Atlanta, Dallas, Houston, etc.) & Great Lakes, Midwest, etc? There are a fuckload of people and major cities that aren't East/West coast in those areas.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Midwestern_metropolitan_areas

Add that up and it's a fairly large percentage of the US population which isn't on either coast.

Ambassador Sycophant turned in his private WhatsApp messages to the State Department earlier. State Department likely forwarded a HOLY loving SHITBALLS to the White House, suddenly Ambassador Sycophant can't testify.

Then Donnie sends that Impeachment-Article-as-Tweet and here we are. Still a big unknown about if Democrats should be going the contempt route and chew up clock, or if they should just fast forward to the impeachment articles.

drat, he needs to be made to testify at all costs.
