I still love that as soon as I got out of the military, I gave someone a ride when their car broke down. Stranger on the street, never met him before.

We talked a bit, he asked what I did, I mentioned nuclear and submarines, and he asked if I was worried about nuclear attack. I told him he has been under threat for as long as he has been alive, that our sub could destroy the entire world at any time, and he has never really known about that.

The look on his face was of sheer terror.

It's not so strange, an all-out nuclear exchange would solve a lot of our current problems. The debt ceiling, charter schools, and universal healthcare aren't important if everyone is dead.

It's not my preferred solution, mind you...

Pretty much.

In other news, allow me to introduce you to two new potential GiP heroes, Master Sergeant Guns and Dadimus Maximus.

'I think he's barbecuing': A helicopter view of the Texas flood with the California National Guard

Hero #1 is MSgt Guns.



The camera is VERY friendly to his arms and he's basically flying all over in a chopper looking for people to rescue.



Or maybe cameras to pose for. Whatever!


That's when he spots Hero #2, Dadimus Maximus, from the chopper. "He's giving a thumbs-up and taking a picture."



This guy is surrounded by water but GODDAMNIT I'M GOING TO ENJOY THIS loving DECK AND I'M GOING TO HAVE A loving BARBECUE. NO I DON'T NEED A RESCUE, I NEED SOME loving MEAT. RESCUE THE HORSE IF YOU NEED TO RESCUE SOMETHING.

It's unclear if he actually was having a barbecue, but he didn't request a rescue so it's officially canon.

Reminds me of how the Army landed their horses and pack mules in Cuba during the Spanish-American War: they pushed 'em off the troop ships and waited for them to swim ashore.

Jackson's Chameleon specifically, though it's a bit different from other mutants since ~according to Fallout Lore~ they were actually created before the war as weapons and then released into the wasteland as a result of the nuclear apocalypse.
