Right to go pew pew at nothing of political relevance, unless the politician is brown or a woman

Classy for that guy would be Stetson

Can't decide if I smell Old Spice or Aqua Velva here

To the right of the grill, so much melted siding lol

Usually after I snap one from maximum effort

Maybe depression is the goal along with the whole gamut of initiatives whose only logical aggregate result would be the weakening of the United States

Seems fairly easy to accomplish when an entire political party's ideology is built upon a foreign power's propaganda

Though only 10% of the military serves in direct combat roles, those who actually serve in combat can certainly be traumatized by their experience.

The silver lining of serving in the military is that we are obligated not to follow illegal orders and the path to gaining rank in the military more often than not will instill wisdom and integrity after having their courage tested.

I am thankful to have served with so many servicemembers who demonstrated their wisdom, integrity, and courage and stood up for what they knew was right even when the people we elect are unable to do the same.

After having been in the military, it's weird to hear people talk about the military who have never served.

Obeying authority? Sure, until ranking up and becoming the authority.

Pushing down emotions? More like learning to have control over our emotions, where those emotions do not control us.

Never be a soldier, but a fighter if needed?

That's basically what I did. Most military jobs are non-combat that are trained to fight if needed but if they are needed than we've got way bigger problens than just fighting.

It will kill your soul? I for one certainly have regrets, but my soul feels intact.

Not everyone should join the military, it's certainly not for everyone. Some people who thought it was all they ever wanted to do find out quickly that it's not for them and leave. Others who thought they'd just join for 4 years for the college money and bail end up making a career of it and retire after 20 years.

I'm indifferent, I just did my 4 years and got out.

It wasn't the kind of deal he had a choice in

Prigozhin wasn't going to Moscow to overthrow Putin, just Shoigu and Gerasimov.

As soon as Putin made the call, the whole thing was over.

 
 
 

Born in 1890, my great-grandfather had great-uncles who fought in the Civil War. He saw the invention of the automobile, the airplane, two world wars, and saw the Apollo 11 moon landing a month before he died.

I was born in the 80s, I have been trying to take stock of how much life has changed since then. Cable television? Satellite television? Cell phones to smartphones? The internet? Life hasn't seemed to have made much progress. When we get down to it life isn't radically different now than it was in 80s. Just hoping there is more that I'm simply not noticing
