Similarly, Iraq would be better served as home to East Tel Aviv or West Shanghai than by Baghdad. If we were going to create a new country populated by a sui generis people I don't think anyone would vote for "violent, lazy, inbred retards who believe in transparent nonsense." So why not regret their existence? I'm all about non-violent, semi-inbred, hard-working smart people who believe in transparent nonsense. Maybe what Iraq really needs is Salt Lake City East. Anyway, I don't hate Iraqis. They're just a bad idea (one of many in the world!) that somehow escaped the lab. (USER WAS BANNED FOR THIS POST)

That's something I'll have to ponder, and more well reasoned than the "NUKE THE DESERT TILL ITS GLASS TRUMP 2016" response I was expecting. But if we're going to get rid of cultures and stuff for the reasons you named, then really, the American South should probably be on that list above Iraqis.

Some famous American South contributions to the world: 1. Coca-cola 2. Jazz 3. The moon landings 4. Civil war Some famous Iraqi contributions to the world: 1. Rape rooms 2. Donkey loving 3. Destruction of the Mesopotamian marshes 4. Civil war Let's call it a tie.

Anyway, the Army wouldn't exist in anything close to its existing form without the American South, so I guess gently caress the south and gently caress the Army.

Yes, they were all the rage in Mosul in 2009. We had some heated conversations in my platoon and among PLs about how they had to be complete bullshit. I had to go periodically inspect/help outer city checkpoints and my pucker factor went up a lot when I realized this was the technique being used to keep explosive precursors and finished bombs out of the city.

“There are decent Jews, after all!” — Counterargument: “This little phrase ‘after all’ proves that they are rare exceptions of no significance to our battle against Jewry as a whole. But Martin Luther saw four hundred years ago that this “decency,” proven by charitable deeds done in as public a manner as possible, is nothing but a hidden cost of business, to repaid a thousand times by uneducated Germans. “Know, dear Christian, and have no doubts about it, that next to the Devil you have no more bitter, poisonous and determined enemy than a genuine Jew. . . If they do something good for you, it is not because they love you, but because they need room to live with us, so they have to do something. But their heart remains as I have said!” But with Iraqis.

I encountered an Iraqi EOD team that was one officer with a rifle and one private with a gripper stick like old people use to pick things up. Apparently the plan was the one guy would shoot the suspicious box up, then the other guy would use his stick to shake it apart. They gratefully accepted my offer to call US EOD, since this was like 5 minutes outside FOB Marez.

You made it about race by comparing Native Americans (a race) to Iraqis. Its pretty clear you could just as comfortably said Arabs rather than Iraqis. If you compare the amount of human suffering that has come from the actions of Iraqi's and that of the United States in some list, America would be far less deserving of a place in the world. But that is totally loving stupid because it lacks any nuance. You know, like how racists think. Obstacle2 fucked around with this message at 20:32 on Feb 18, 2016 |

Drop your paypal account, I'll see if I can get you off the street for a couple of nights, get you a shower so your fellow public library patrons don't have to deal with the smell of urine. If you'd like to return to the conversation, please point out where I compared Native Americans to Iraqis (I didn't). And even if I had, neither Americans nor Iraqis are single racial countries. I suppose a racist might see them that way, though. Again, why are you racistly reading non-white and non-Arabs out of American/Iraqi history and political participation? Seriously, stop projecting. LOL at the human suffering thing, though, that's pretty funny.

The army charged me for my permissive tdy and travel dates during pcs, housing refused to stamp my leave form, sent me to my S1, who had me re do a leave form, then made a memo, took it to finance, who kicked it back, and told me to go to housing, which then told me that I needed a new leave form from the unit I PCSed from 4 and a half months ago, in Korea, signed by an O-5. Oh yeah and he told me they couldn't return my travel days to me because "the finance director believes if you have leave days you should use them for traveling between posts"

I'm giving him the benefit of the doubt. He sounds like a butt though. I was a deputy G-1 for a two star command and I certainly didn't know every single freaking HR reg and policy. *edit* The IG is going to ask you if you showed him/her the reg. They might call over there and do it for you, but I doubt you want to be "that guy" at your new unit.

I'll be PCSing in like 2 months, still not all that sure how that poo poo works. Doesn't seem like any of the guys that already PCSed have been hosed over in the process yet. Curious to see how many days I get to move all my poo poo 3000 miles and then find a new place to live. Talked to a MCCC CPT today that was at Lewis, said Lacey is a good place to live since I'll be on North Fort. Was surprised to learn that some LT's live in Seattle and don't mind the commute. I put it into google maps and it's over an hour to drive like 35 miles, loving crazy.

Did I just compare a screw and a tank? What conclusions can we draw from this supposed comparison? Anyway, same to you. Given that our society rightly comes down pretty hard on racists, I'm afraid your mask is eventually going to slip and they're going to find you out. Writing black/Hispanic people out of America (after I gave you a list with jazz on it, no less) and the brutally oppressed Kurds out of Iraq and trying to invent a racial angle that doesn't exist just doesn't look very good. Have you thought about just keeping your racist feelings/views to yourself rather than trying to distract people by falsely accusing others?

Curious to see how many days I get to move all my poo poo 3000 miles and then find a new place to live. You get one day of free, uncharged leave for every 400 miles or portion thereof you move on a PCS. Spell out exactly what's going on in the memo area. "Service member will take leave from X to Y. Service member is authorized 8 days of uncharged travel time, so chargeable leave will run from X+8 until blah blah. Service member is also authorized 10 days PTDY, etc." Makes it harder to gently caress up. You absolutely have to get your departing O5 to sign off on PTDY and have it on your leave form when you depart. People will tell you that you can get it authorized when you arrive, and technically that's possible, maybe, but LOL. It won't happen in 9/10 cases.
