I guess it's veteran's day? I don't know any veterans so I'll just thank my dad for going to college instead of viet nam.

One of my friends is a marine. He came back and got a job as a cop. He finally got to kill someone. It's a success story.

My brother is technically a war veteran because he showed up in Iraq a week after the truce was declared but before the war officially ended, he got to drive around kuwait and shoot a .50 cal I guess

i know a couple vets.

one went awol from boot camp then later vastly over exaggerated a knee injury. he's on disability and going to college for free. he also has hpv

the other is a raging alcoholic who split up recently with his wife who thinks vaccines cause autism. he's got some kind of mental issues, but i don't really think they're from his service so much. he makes more a month from disability than i do working

The kid who bullied me all the loving time in middle school stole my seat in 7th grade and I decided I had enough. I politely informed him that he took my seat, words were exchanged, and it ended up with me repeatedly asking him "Are you hyperactive?". He then responded repeatedly "Do you have a small dick?". I then promised to answer his question if he answered mine first, but the interaction ended before we could get our respective answers as he punched me in the right thigh as hard as he could (I had been hoping it would have been the face so he would have gotten expelled).

This young man then later in adult life attacked his father nearly killing him and got arrested for it. Then in a separate occasion he attacked a man taking out money from an ATM with a knife, unknowing that the man he was trying to rob also had a knife. When the cops arrived he lied and said he had been the victim.

This fine specimen of a human being ultimately joined the marines corpse. Semper Fi to you and thank you for your service, you are truly americas breast and brightest.

For the record I can't play this game because my graphics card is 5 years old and can't run directx 11. CoD can infact run though on an xbox 360 which was released 9 years ago.

Say what you will about #gamergate, but it really was an indication that the gaming industry is becoming infested with people that don't actually care about gaming and are committed to its destruction. Obviously #gamergate has nothing directly to do with lovely PC support for the new CoD, it is just the canary in the mine with regards to this stuff.

So basically gently caress this gay earth. There is no logical reason why this game should not be able to be played on older graphics cards. I can understand low frame rates, or maybe some graphical glitches, but to simply just straight up not being able to run is just not right.

They also ate some of our food from the fridge without asking. How exactly does someone smoke weed while on active duty and not get caught?

It's pretty easy. Lol you dream about CoD and smoking tangos all day so some actual soldiers stealing food from your fridge is basically the closest you'll ever get to being cucked, right?

I worked for a guy who was an ex-marine and liked to wax philosophic about the particulars of how to best date rape. Some weird guy came up to me when I was smoking in front of a wal-mart and claimed to have been a marine during desert storm 1 and that back then they knew how to really 'smack the queers around'.

Dude I went to school with was in Iraq. He said that if they were somewhere that was dicey they would take handfuls of candy and throw it in the streets. When the kids would scramble for it they'd cross through the crowd. He said he liked when he was working check points and when cars didn't stop they'd light them up. I'd like to take this opportunity to thank him for his service.

The marines didn't smack anything around in Desert Storm unless they were in a tank or bradley.

No, see, the point of his story was that in his day they didn't play around when it came to gays in their platoon or whatever. He basically described to me a group assault of some guy who had been declared by group consensus to be a fag. He could of been lying, it's hard to say.

When people say "thanks for protecting our freedoms" or whatever I assume they are talking to WWII veterans because you're an idiot if you think the military has "protected" anything other than sand and multi-national commerce since then.

Corporate interests are associated with increased freedom due to increased prosperity. But if you think it actually takes massive amounts of infantry to achieve that goal boy do I have some news for you. Wars like Afghanistan should be fought entirely with advanced weaponry like heavy tanks and air power for basically no casualties or danger.

*edit*

ROFL

The basic T-72 is relatively underpowered, with a 780 hp (580 kW) supercharged version of the basic 500 hp (370 kW) V-12 diesel engine block originally designed for the World War II-era T-34.
