How do people like hall not get marched to every suspected IED until nature takes its course, or just sent the gently caress back home roped up like a salami with a paper tag requesting he be physically removed from whatever facility he lands at.

Having a fuckup proven to be a huge fuckup makes leadership look bad. So obvious solution is just sweep it under the table.

Cheese eating surrender monkey started around the time before Iraq 2: This Time We Mean It, when Americans started buying champagne to pour it down the sewers.

The first time it appeared anywhere was an episode of the Simpsons in 1995

Regardless of the point about those other countries spending amounts on social safety nets vs the US's, that still makes no drat sense because it was used as an absolute value unit of measure, not a percentage.

Well, yeah. Certain offices and positions do come with restrictions on your freedom of speech and expression. It’s not controversial when cops get tossed for posting racist memes, right?

It is actually way more controversial if the cop gets fired for posting racist memes than it should be.

Saying he can't talk about 99% of the stuff he has done in the military. This combined with PTSD seems fair and I don't want to push to ask about it


People who do stuff they can't or don't want to talk about do things like not bring it up. Or talk about little incidental things like funny stories about idiots in garrison. Or lie.

One of my Sgts had all 7 PFC promotion patents, 7 Lcpl patents, 7 Corp patents, and 7 Sgt patents hanging up on his wall in the barracks.

It made a hell of an impact.
