LMAO I remember being told you gotta lick it before you stick it when it comes to the radio connectors, but that was just lick your finger and rub it around on the pieces. Not tongue loving it.

The French playing themselves out of spite is really the most French thing they could possibly do.

They had a whole para regiment revolt and start planning a drop on Paris too. Didn't happen of course, but imagine that happening in the US military.

The French had torrid nasty affairs with it that ended quickly and badly. We decided to drag it out onto loveless, sexless marriages of convenience.

And even if he did, his officers probably would have shrugged and gone on an existentialist rant about the meaninglessness of existence while smoking a cigarette and staring off into the distance. It's the FFL after all.

I wonder if media plays a part too. Like, a lot of war movies have some scene about soldiers being horrified at the civilian casualties and whatnot. By contrast, in all the copaganda shows I've seen, non-criminal civilians are usually just victims. The shows focus on the crimes done to them in almost a sadistic way, but the crimes done are by criminals, not the cops. They're just there for the cops to have someone to rescue, or as a prop to start off the chase on some criminal. The cops exist as the good guys, with no moral gray area. Kind of a rough train of thought, but hopefully y'all understand the gist of what I'm getting at.

Yeah, and it works both ways since art and life both continue. I've seen the same thing at times with regards to veterans and PTSD. Guy grows up seeing in war movies that PTSD equals having been in the poo poo, and being in the poo poo equals being a manly man, therefore PTSD equals being a manly man. Then after they leave the service they cling to that PTSD aspect, hence those stupid rear end dysfunctional veteran brands and the like.

The VA gave me a referral and a local non-VA clinic did it a couple years ago. Wasn't any worse than a flu shot, and that was just the anesthetic injections. Didn't take valium or anything. Didn't pay a cent. Took a week off from PT and after that it was back to normal. The doc explained that in addition to the cauterization, they also added titanium clamps on the vas just to make extra sure. So now it's like I'm a cyborg, right? ![]()

One time I was hiking and had to duck off into the woods to take a dump and as I was wiping I was squatted too low and my knuckles touched the poop. At first I thought aw dang it, but then I thought if it were an RPG, it would be a mixed status buff. Poop knuckles: -1 CHA, +1 poison damage in melee combat.

I worked with a Utah NG unit in Iraq in 2011 and it was like the reverse bizarro Army. Like, a squad leader would say "cover your virgin ears!" and half of the squad would obediently cover their ears and look away.

And I say fun since the other times was usually when something blew up or attacks on buses so some regular rear end road rage was a good thing to have a laugh at I only ever saw two acts of violence on the BETSS-C camera in 2011 when I was operating one. One, an Iraqi kid was beating another one with a sandal. Two, a real live cockfight. Was a pretty nice job at the time.

How does that compare to the guys who bought a bunch of Iraqi dinars? It always seemed like a bad idea to me, but more than a few guys on my former contracts dumped cash into them.

Oh this was in 2010-11, so it wasn't even the historical Saddam dinars, it was what the current regime was issuing. Still seemed like a bad idea to me.

This guy also had a scandal several years ago where he was doing a shoot house and didn't verify that it was all clear. One of his assistant instructors was still in the shoot house. This guy shoots him several times before realizing he's not a target. Shot him several times AND didn't kill him. That's like, double incompetence.
