He was a very capable commander during Guadalcanal and onward.

And he spent more time caring about the troops and the task than he did caring about the look and the decorum.

So now people point to him as the reason why the look and the decorum is so important. Because Chesty was a real marine and you can't let him down.

"Even that event, which was covered by news organizations around the world, failed to register with another member of the unit, who attempted to schedule Teixeira for duty two weeks after his arrest. That action, following “a monumental national news event occurring within the unit,” was a “stark example of [the member’s] lack of situational awareness or appreciation for the gravity of the matter,” the investigation found."

For some reason that reminds me of this scene:

Start at 24 minutes in, watch just over 1 minute from that starting point.

Just that same level of absolutely complete lack of knowledge of the world around them.

This is unlikely to motivate posters to stop dumping info on those forums.

It might end up being the largest trove of info for several national intel agencies though.

Imagine if poo poo posting could win wars (instead of doing damage to your own side) as long as you posted classified info with each post.

Is it me or is the dude next to him getting the flag ready for his family?
Cause that is a stone cold way of signaling to the NCOs that he isn't having anything to do with these chucklefucks.

Grunts have "field modded" equipment since the invention of grunts. This will either work just fine or it will be added to the manual as "do not".

This ain't the thread for it, but gently caress it.

Yesterday, I was thinking about a post you made about having all them animals. How they make their own little noises, how they all got their little rhythms and rituals towards nightfall.

I kinda feel that now, house sitting with two cats and four dogs, all of them rescues from the street or worse. Little things, with all their little quirks, problems, and preferences, together in comfort. Close my eyes and I can visualize what they're feeling just by the sounds they make.

The loud, comfortable snoring of the dumbest shih-tzu around, secure in her day's work of doing srupid poo poo and looking innocent. The huffing and puffing of the chihuahua, still trying to get one over on us all in his sleep. The low whooping of Denver, the dog, dreaming of running after poo poo as he tries to find new and fascinating ways to enter my body through my armpit. Kaydee, the old weiner-pit, farting her way through nap #10 of the day. The most nervous cat in the world doing his best impression of a Yamaha 2-stroke sport bike as he paces back and forth on the couch, stopping to headbutt me every run. The other cat, eating and drinking while no one else is totally awake, one eye on the door in case I get close enough to open it.

Every breath tells a story. Each pad of a foot describes a whole journey. That crunching sound means someone found a way into the trashcan.

Can I just say that I love every single word of this post? It is absolutely beautifully written through and through.

Maybe they'll get that moron from the distant past of the idiots thread.

The one who "fixed" a small hole in a fighter jet by stuffing his chewing gum in there.
He did this after the pilot doing the walkaround had noticed it and mentioned it.
He even cheerfully announced that he had "fixed" it.

So now he is just cheerfully stuffing every single part of the fence with chewing gum before the holding the gate open for the officer.

Yes. It is a fantastic game and as long as you complete your objectives, the game doesn't give a poo poo about you actually making it out alive.
Of course you don't get the samples out if you don't make it out, but those are just used to give you upgrades. Super Earth cares about the mission, not the men.

Actually, let me just link you the intro. It tells you everything you need to know (survival ratio isn't brought up, but you don't really need to know about those).
