So, maybe we should do something about that "President can unclassify anything they want whenever they want" thing. I guarantee you that Donny has no idea what is or isn't classified and what is or isn't tactically sensitive, we've seen as much evidence to that point over the last 3 years. Just makes the "buttery males!" thing that much more galling.

The solution to that is impeachment and removal, but here we are I guess.

I figured Phantom Shitter is someone who shits in a public space and then beats feet for someone else to discover. We had it happen fairly often in the showers at DLI.

This made a hilarious mental picture for ND'ing into a desk, so I'm fairly sure I've got my definition wrong.

I'm also extremely disappointed that "ND" wasn't a euphemism here

Do you recall the name of the ship, or something I read further on?

I suspect they mean this:

"indeed, one of the shells may have exploded early and disabled one of Musashi's guns during the Battle of the Sibuyan Sea.[4]"

Not the same, but I also don't remember anything about any IJN BB's being accidentally suicided (as opposed to the final sallies out which were expected to be suicidal)

The front wheel broke off because it was a bicycle trailer not meant to be used that way, so he abandoned it almost immediately without making any attempt to fix it.

Guess you don't wanna hear about powder burns with missing increments then... And it was whole belts of .50 that people would find in the bushes out there. Smart ones left it alone. Dumb ones brought it back to the pos after taking a poo poo then had to spell "I WILL NOT PICK UP poo poo" with rocks. That kid was a trip, he later popped hot for meth.

Dumb civilian question, why is it so painful to bring back ammo that was found? I get that it's probably a headache for accounting reasons, and if you can figure out who dumped it I'm assuming poo poo rains on them (and from them on to you in some way) but is there another reason?

I don't understand how this keeps happening. I know that the stars are a lot brighter when you're out in the middle of the ocean or flying at twenty thousand feet but does Venus actually look like anything more than just a brighter star? How do people keep mistaking it for a UFO or an enemy ship/aircraft?

Twinkling light with apparent motion, much brighter than the surroundings, when seeing might already be too late?
