They will never over turn Feres- there would be an incredible amount of lawsuits because we put 19 yo alcoholics in charge of the healthcare of the masses.

I've shared the story before, I think. Baltimore VA ER, I sat for 12 hours without seeing a doc, after having neurological symptoms presenting stroke-like. Finally flag down a nurse who actually comes back 'in just a minute'. "Bring me papers, I'm going home." "You can't. You haven't seen a doctor." "Exactly why I'm leaving." "You cannot leave." "Ma'am, I can, and I don't think you have enough security to stop me. Please bring me the papers so I can go." I was polite, and made it sound jokey, but whatever happened is done by that loving point, and I'm not dead. gently caress off.

Mike Rowe was also a classically trained opera singer. That motherfucker is very, VERY far removed from the kinda bullshit he spews. He's never had to work his way from poverty.

I had similar lovely views when I was younger, because I was raised with the belief that good work ethic and determination will make you a millionaire. It might. But you are starting 10 seconds behind the fastest sprinter in the 100 meter sprint. What changed me was the Army. I watched dudes who should be rewarded, who should be having incredible success and early promotions, never get gently caress all besides a certificate for working 3- 23hr days in a row. That whole organization is "predicated" on pushing the best people forward, and instead I saw shitbags who knew who to talk to get ahead by playing politics.

I've went into detail here and there all the poo poo I've been through, and what I go through with injuries and whatnot- If you told me that everyone in America could have what I do now- a decent quality of life, stable sources of food/shelter, and loving healthcare- I would do it 2 or 3 times over again, because it's what our citizens deserve.

Blind Rasputin posted:Jesus this is an unbelievably disturbing article. Is it still that bad since the head of SOCOM started taking notice? I'm not surprised. You spend 20 years telling dudes they are above the law, they start to act like they are. Special Forces had similar problems during Vietnam/Post-VN. They expanded drastically, and unfortunately, that means cultural changes, if not change in quality. The mission set by necessity requires more than a fair measure of clan/tribalism, which creates a circular cycle. Add to that, the OPTEMPO and Operational History of SMU/SOF forces, the military made the mold for the issue.

I love the fact I live in PA. Small pockets of reasonableness surrounded by pools of chuddy insanity. Highlights include -my daughter's Mexican BF telling her, "I really thought your Dad would be a racist piece of poo poo." (Given my demographic and area we live in, not a bad assumption) -"You seem pretty, Uh, liberal for the area." "Yeah. Wanting people to have a fair shot at life and healthcare makes me a loving liberal, I guess." "I really thought you'd drop Trump poo poo on me here." -and having an old man tell me he wanted to hate crime "those people" and democrats after a cursory conversation asking if I can pet his dog.

Defenestrategy posted:Why not? You don't need the moral high ground to look at something and say "That's bad, I wish things weren't like that there" and also look at home and say "That's bad I wish things weren't like that here". Because I honestly don't give a gently caress. The world is run by monsters. My moral outrage changes nothing. It provides nothing of value. It's a waste of time and energy I don't feel is worth the expenditure. And lets be real here- in the scheme of things, their little rest stop don't mean poo poo. It changes nothing. It does nothing. This isn't like "maybe he needs a break from doomscrolling", this is reality. My moral and ethical framework does not jive with that of the world powers. My outrage, my anger, my righteous indignation- it changes nothing. I just can't find the big loving deal when I look at what any country does, but most importantly, America. It's cool. I'm not judging anyone else. I just can't find the will to be outraged over this relatively minor thing in the arena of world power.

Cugel the Clever posted:Not to be a dick, but then why put energy into making and then defending the "lol nothing matters" case? If you're not judging anyone else and don't think the issue matters, is there any intent to chiming in beyond reaffirming your personal nihilism? I can't be assed to give a gently caress what monsters do. It's the grand scheming poo poo that doesn't matter. You want to bring individual poo poo for me to be upset? Let's do it. But I can't be hosed to worry about this big poo poo. My rage doesn't do poo poo but raise my blood pressure. Short of attempting violent direct action, there is absolutely nothing I can do to affect it. America made that poo poo ok; if the big kids can do it without getting in trouble, then why not everyone else?
