Ugly In The Morning posted:I was reading a journal article about the dumbass soldier that tried to eat C4 to get high, and I have a followup question that google has failed me on, but maybe one of you know. Definitely idiot-adjacent. I know I'm a bit behind but earlier today I was catching up on this thread...and tonight I'm reading 13th Valley (Vietnam novel) and in one of those weird coincidences quote:“Somebody said if you ate it, you’d either get high as a kite or sick as a dog. So I ate it.”

shame on an IGA posted:I don't think he's even gotten a lawyer yet because he also found out his mom has cancer I talked to the man the other day. He's got a lawyer. He's gonna be good. His wife is cracked the gently caress out and apparently incredibly stupid to boot when it comes to the whole kidnapping thing. Fingers crossed, but it should pan out. Didn't know about his mom's, drat.

Don't think I've shared these ones before: Good ol MCMAP, I thoroughly enjoyed instructing. Was doing a 3v1 against two of my new guys and one experienced. The whole idea was presenting the idea of a clusterfuck and conserving energy when outnumbered and passing attention to your surroundings on both sides of the engagement. We take it to the ground, ball up, got two on me, and my smallest guy is just behind his comrades and gets super excited. Grabs an ankle that he thought was mine, and starts twisting hard. It's the other new guy, so one down due to not paying attention. Now I can totally understand being lost in the moment, but the other thing was he just went balls out. Could've hurt someone bad had he not snapped out of it when the guy tapped violently and yelped. Story 2: In the sandbox with 96% of our detachment being reserves. They do ammo counts weekly. One guy gets the bright idea to put his name on all his rounds. In the lack of positive control of weapons, one dude forgets his magazines. He borrows mr round namers magazines to go out. They never reconcile ownership and weekly inspection occurs. Named rounds are found, and they assume dude that borrowed the magazines had named the rounds because he was going to off the other guy. Good times ensue as they have to explain wtf happened and why. This took all loving day because lol idiots, and the Plt Sgt was an oxygen thief of the highest order. E: forgot the Company 1st Sgt was a big fan of mandatory PT on top of the bunker in full view and completely exposed. That poo poo got shut down at our level, but she still did it for a bit with her crew until she somehow got rotated out iirc. gently caress was that deployment dumb PathAsc fucked around with this message at 22:49 on Dec 29, 2019 |

Oddly enough, the play that coined the word "robot" envisioned them as being artifically-produced humanoids like the Cylons in BSG. I have no idea if this was deliberate though.

Did the Afghan paper trove ever get linked here? NYT articles on it are definitely worth reading, hopefully they make you go 'I feel less guilt knowing that I did my best and acted with honor when sent into an unwinnable situation' instead of 'WHAT THE gently caress DID I LOSE THREE SPOUSES AND TWELVE SQUAD MATES FOR THEN'.

I mean, that’s about the time where Duffelblog wrote their most factual article to date. It’s the most bitter satire I’ve ever read, because the only satire in the entire article was in the headline. https://www.duffelblog.com/2019/12/the-first-casualty-is-your-sanity/
