Hey Rumsfeld your lovely movie had nothing on The Fog of War

Also you dead

I disagree. his complete lack of remorse, in comparison with McNamara is what made that film good.

brb, privately funding activations of ARNG Soldiers for 29 days at a time and calling it “BAH rules awareness training”

Worse, the SD Guard activation is state active duty. No retirement points, no BAH, no GI Bill, you just get a check from the state comptroller that's less than what DFAS pays.

Last time I dealt with that they mailed a check to my HOR, which was 4 hours away from where I was stationed, so I couldn't deposit my pay for 6 weeks.

South Dakota and Texas have an agreement for assistance during an emergency. What it is supposed to be used for is if there's a hurricane in Texas South Dakota can send national guardsmen down to help and they've already pre-set up the lines of authority and communication.

Using them to do some type of nebulous support on the border is really bending the rules.

My biggest hang up isn’t even that they’re being sent. Chuds gonna chud. It’s that it’s being funded privately.

That should be setting off a million red flags somewhere.

Whatever justification you can come up with for privately funding a national guard mission doesn’t work for me. I challenge someone to try to give me one because I’m honestly curious if there’s ANY situation where privately funding the military would be reasonable.

Why not just use Blackwater or whatever they’re calling themselves?

E: I just read that the Blackwater shitheads who went on a murder spree got pardoned at the 11th hour by trump. I’m sure I heard about it at the time and forgot but goddamn.

Yeah this is the biggest issue. If she had just said "We're sending National Guard guys to the border" nobody would've said a thing.

No, she's sending National Guard guys who are basically acting as Mercenaries by being privately funded.

I have told this to both my folks and neither of them could see what the problem is.. they are convinced that there is a horrible problem on the border and that sending troops is the right thing and that if a private individual will pay for it then that's more the better.

Donnie went on an equivalent rant earlier with the Governor of Texas right next to him, and all he could do is laugh and giggle as Donnie said Biden couldn't pass the test. One of the best pieces of revenge is that his sycophants have to spend time with him. I'd link the video, but twitter's busted.

It's the Montreal test, it's not exact, and 26/30 or above is fine. The questions are dumb and basically Alzheimer's screening:

quote:

“Yes, the first few questions are easy, but I'll bet you couldn't even answer the last five questions. I'll bet you couldn't, they get very hard, the last five questions,” he told Wallace.

Some of the last five questions that Trump was referring to include naming the time and place that you are in, as well as repeating a series of words that you were asked to remember earlier in the test.
