mllaneza posted:The French left the flower of their manhood on the bloody, muddy fields of WW1. They get a pass for several generations after that. The Army Museum in Paris is really great. The WWI sections are even more depressing than I expected. Practically every portrait of a soldier or officer hanging up had a birthdate in 18-something and a death date in 1914/15.

The Pentagon is happy to use US Military assets, locations, and personnel in films that portray the military in a positive light. They have a strong preference for films that show actual personnel doing their actual jobs (mechanics in the background wrenching on planes, drivers, etc.) A big Hollywood movie just did some filming at an Air Force base stateside. One of the scenes called for a scene where climate refugees are storming an Air Force base to board evacuation planes. As part of this scene, they used actual security forces people. The instructions were that there would be a crowd of people rushing the runway, and they were to stop them. Everyone carrying a weapon was a trained stunt person, and they were supposed to tackle and restrain them at gunpoint. The rest of the crowd were extras, just people who lived on base who volunteered to be in the film. They were supposed to either let them pass OR let them turn around and flee. Security Forces dudes ended up just tackling and bodyslamming ANYONE who got close. The extras were pretty annoyed that they kept getting clobbered over several takes by these dumb airmen that can't follow directions.

From They Shall Not Grow Old, a number of the old veterans they were interviewing said it was totally rad and they'd go back in a heartbeat. One guy said it was pretty much like a long, fun camping trip with all your pals where you were occasionally shot at. War is weird.

My grandfather is still alive, and a WWII veteran. He was a school teacher, and spent the war in the army in Minnesota "flying a typewriter". Not exactly an exotic locale but definitely in the top 1% of cushiest possible assignments to be drafted into.

WWII German Kriegsmarine prisoners in Arizona attempt to escape down a dry river. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Great_Papago_Escape The short version of it is that their great escape plan was to bust out of Phoenix, and float in their improvised boats down the Salt River and then Gila River to Mexico. Those "rivers" are really more like washes. They sometimes only flow for a few weeks every year. When they got there, it was sand and puddles, and they're now in the middle of the desert. I can't find a reference but I recall a story of one of the guys who was captured just sort of wandered up to a farmhouse. The family fed him dinner, took him to a movie, and then dropped him off at the police station when they were done. Picking cotton in Arizona for a couple years sounds a whole lot better than getting drowned in a U-Boat in the Atlantic.

Other grandpa did supply stuff in the Army in WWII. He didn't drink or smoke, so he had a lot of currency to trade with those who did. He came back with a bunch of cool stuff. He had this gigantic flag that was 15 feet across that used to hang in a German officer's club.

The damage done to the PPE is evidence that the mishap would have been fatal had the Marine not been wearing it correctly "Or in other words, the breach turned his face into jelly but a helmet prevented his entire head from pink mist-ing"

Godholio posted:This is the last guidance I heard. The level 4 red zones in Mexico are pretty much no-gos. Which is a shame because 10 years ago I went on a cruise to Manzanillo, Acapulco, and Zihuatenejo and they were all awesome and I wish I could go back. Zihuatenejo is one of the most beautiful beaches on earth. It was pretty weird in Acapulco to watch a Mexican navy truck patrol with 8 armed marines in the back loaded out with full helmet/armor/rifle plus an officer. There were also cops with rifles patrolling on foot up and down the beaches in Manzanillo.

My wife's brother is an interesting dude and will tell anyone who asks that he: Did work in special forces for AFRICOM Was loaned out on assignment for INTERPOL Is a firearms and unarmed combat instructor for international police and military Also flies 787s for British Airways Gets called out on special missions every now and again by three letter agencies and has to leave for 2 weeks at a time Speaks 4 languages Has houses in a few different cities But the truth of it is: He hasn't had an actual job since he was a lifeguard at the city pool in high school Has been couchsurfing for the last 10 years (when he could) but otherwise was living in his car Has severe ADHD that I doubt he's receiving treatment or meds for Is doughy and out of shape Cannot fly a plane Speaks 1 language Can barely read Dude is not right. Someone who actually did all those things would probably tell people that they used to be in the Army as a computer toucher but now works for the department of agriculture as a computer toucher.

So dude I know has a subordinate sergeant who happens to live in his neighborhood off base. Within a couple weeks of moving in, meeting the sergeant, and starting the job, sergeant asks "Hey, I'm going out of town in a few weeks. Will you and your wife watch my ten year old daughter for a week while I'm gone?" Imagine asking your boss, who you just met, to watch your daughter for a week. They don't even have kids at home.

being in the military is cool because if you neglect your family for your career you can still sound noble by saying you were doing it for the good of the country
