The "fat man" did not die from the first bullet that Turner put in his neck, so while he screamed and looked pleadingly into Turner's eyes, Turner deliberately dispatched him with a shot at close range.

Also in the last thread a lot of big tent perverts were arguing that as long as they repudiated their service when it was convenient for them to do so that we should welcome ex-Soldiers into the communist movement. A) They're probably plants B) What kind of spineless idiot enlists out of ignorance, realizes during his service the kind of butchery he is aiding and abetting, and doesn't immediately desert? This is like arguing we should be welcoming to the mafia and forgiving of its crimes just to pad our (non-existent) cadre numbers. I don't want to hear it.

The other guy on his podcast was a captain who was deployed in Iraq/Afghanistan. Michael Prysner used to torture iraqis as a teen and Spenser Rapone saw what was going on when he was deployed and became a "marxist" west point student.

when I was in high school we were down the block from an army recruiting office. when a bunch of teachers called out and they were in a pinch, they’d call the recruiters and have one of them come in to sub classes. I, being a big dork, was in honors track (my high school was big enough we had honors-1st-2nd-3rd), but due to being an even bigger dork than I previously hinted at, was in band 8th period, so some of my classes had to get switched around to make everything fit and I had one third track class every year (Latin/Italian) when the recruiter subbed for any of my honors classes he just put on the tv and told us to keep it down. but whenever he was in for my Italian teacher he’d give the full court press for joining right out of school, for AROTC, Army reserves, everything. I didn’t understand his strategy at the time. lol

American soldiers are all whiny soft dipshits who think exercising a basic amount so they could carry a backpack made them loving Ubermench, and not just some dumb rear end in a top hat who can jog a couple miles for empire. Even SF psychos only rise to the level of the rich idiots who hunt tigers. Their missions have just enough danger to be a "thrilling" "xxxtreme" hobby, but every mission they go on is as much on rails with mechanical safeguards as possible. The hunts are canned, and most of the ears on their loving necklaces came from people who never even held a gun.

I'd like to hear anyone describe being behind the barrel(s) of a rotary cannon to try and describe as anything other than a linear rail shooter with intermittent pause just anything other than the slaughter it is, even moreso if they try to glorify it with heroism or valiance or whatever foul loving thing they want to say about it

I never had the honor of boinking a troops girl while he was deployed, despite passing through Killeen a bunch, but I did gently caress a girl who was dating a Turkish contractor who worked with America in Iraq. A related subspecies of scum. Possibly more loathsome than the troops themselves.
