For the record Dr. Doom is a loving god tier genius who is pretty much the intelligence GOAT of marvel along with Tony Stark and Reed Richards.

Dr. Doom also deeply gave a poo poo about the people in his country of Latveria. You hosed with them you dead.

Yeah he was also a power mad lunatic, but man found a way to save Earth in the collapse of the multiverse.

Yes I’m clearly a loving dork with comic books and Dr. Doom fanboy...but holy poo poo Dr. Doom would be awesome to have compared to Trump.

Oppressive and repressive yeah, but I mean one thing of interest is the people on Latveria are legit cool with it, cause no one fucks with Doctor Doom and they have a really good standard of living. Doom would have cured the drat thing himself. Honestly his greatest enemy is probably himself.

Yeah....I’ve only had 4 hours of sleep in the last 36 hours...but my point is still valid... about a fictional on comic book character.


Doctor Victor Von Doom is cool and good.

The religions themselves are just mythology. Most of them have cool stories, and decent moral guidance. So does Frank Miller's Batman, but I don't try and make everyone live by it's bullshit.

Their followers create the problem. It's not like we have followers of the Temple of Apollo trying to waterboard out the gay.

I'm not calling you out on this, but through personal experience, the myriad articles and investigations (most recently Aussie SAS), and myriad anecdotes I've read in GiP (Shim's puppy stealing tale for one), I'm not convinced "surgical raids on HVI's" are any different and could be far worse in terms of traumatizing whole villages. Every raid I went on "jokes" were made about establishing job security, because if we kill everyone what needs a-killin' who on Earth are we going to kill? JPEL was an aberrant failure both in theory and practice.

Lastly, those good old American troops getting wounded and killed in the conduct of our raids have led to a lot of units on those tiers going full on berserker for the remainder of there deployments and transmitting that attitude to whomever they RIPed out with. Additionally their sacrifice ostensibly in the name of our nation and constitution provides ample and factually true anecdotes to serve the chicken hawks among us in their propagandistic efforts. Entropy.

I agree to a point; but part of the issue is that for 20 years, we've used them as sledge hammers, and then everything is a nail. There is also cultural inertia- once these attitudes sink in, they only way to get them out is gently caress off the lot of them and start fresh- which we can't/won't do.

Again, not completely disagreeing with you, but our policies put those attitudes in place in those dudes. And you can see the progression in wanton violence among those units as the wars progressed.

If that all makes sense

Thanks for clarifying; we're in agreement. I can tell you that when MARSOC (Now known as Raiders, RIP SOF Marine) was stood up by edict of Rumsfeld my first interactions with SF were eye-opening. They were terrified inviting Force Recon carte blanch into SOCOM would further move the mission set away from UW or FID. They were supremely disappointed in the mission set they had been relegated to, and saw the writing on the wall 15 years ago. 15 years ago. We don't have to think too long about who's running the show now and what "traditions" have been created and sadly the self selective process for volunteers now, never mind the cadre running A&S.

My first tour, we did a bunch of raids with SF, and later various other SOF elements. I remember thinking how loving professional the SF dudes were on raids. We tried to emulate that as much as possible in our own raids. We lived in the city- we knew that we could be over run and killed before any supporting assets would come to the rescue of our <Company strength encampment. We also knew that everytime somebody was an rear end in a top hat in our sector, we payed for it. We worked hard at doing things the right way. The general tone of all forces changed as it went on.


Nothing good came from the wars.

Mayor Pete occupies the same role as Trump to me. He has no values beyond personal gain. He does nothing that does not further his career. He's a rat faced leech who is the exactly the type of toxic motherfucker who got us to where we are.
I really can't stand the gently caress, and he is the 2020 of possible roles in the incoming admin.

Apr 28, 2010

I'm sure this isn't going to go over well, but I don't even think Pete is gay. I think absolutely every single thing about him is fake for an expected reaction and effect on his goals. I think that dude is just straight sociopathic, and not a single thing about him is real.

There is something about the vibe, or his eyes, or something that trips a flare in deep in my primate brain. Like Trump was a buffoon; this dude has by all accounts built his entire life towards a goal of as much power as he can get.

In my life it seems that those who wanted/sought/needed power or control were the absolute last people who should be given the position. Anyone who doesn't look at those sort of positions with fear or respect, who doesn't understand that it should be a burden, should never be given a position of authority higher that Shift Lead Fry Cook.

Then again, am an old Grunt who got retired at E4. What the gently caress do I know.

I don't think he values other human beings as a general rule. It's less about being gay, and more about him calculating what persona and image gains him the most.

It's not a 2020 thing. It's that everything about him screams out to me that he is a tin pot wannabe just as much as Trump, but actually capable of not stepping on his own dick.

I think I poorly phrased it, and knew it would be difficult to phrase, but I'm not sure where you misunderstood.
I don't care who you gently caress. No where did I equate gay with anything. I don't think he has any sexual preference. I honestly believe that every aspect of that dude is cultivated towards his goal. That's the impression I get from him. Like it or don't.

orange juche posted:

Not exactly, but accepting one carries an implicit admission of guilt that could be used as evidence of crimes related to the thing you got pardoned for. Example: if you got brought up on federal and state charges for the same thing but got pardoned of federal charges, then it could be used as a proof that you did it. It's basically waiving your 5th amendment rights not to self-incriminate.

Thanks for clarifying.

Maybe I'm the idiot, but pardoning all your conspirators when you aren't exactly free and clear seems like a tactical error. But I don't play 4d Chess.

Just going to jump over the probability that this is sarcasm, but the cops showed up before the RV went up so it was presumably empty.

2e: I'm assuming the RV was stolen, but if they wanted to hit the AT&T building, it means they would have had to rig the thing to transfer most of the force in that direction. That would take time right?

Nope. It takes no effort or training to create a directional charge- it is literally just how you stack them. This isn't OPSEC or anything- it's in numerous wiki articles.

The first time I saw it, I swore the White Dude was a former college classmate.
I remember walking him home (after he was asked to leave the bar for asking random people to slap him)- I was trying to keep things jovial, so I had my arm around him, and we are walking, laughing, everything is going fine. Suddenly, he whips around to stand nose to chest with me.

"I'll fight you"
"Mike, I will murder you in a fight."
1 second pause
"Yeah, you would"

I was incredibly thankful he realized that the dude who is a foot taller and has 100lbs on him, and is way more sober (while still being drunk) would hurt him. Though I'm pretty sure he would have been happier to be unconscious with how angry his wife was.
