Also love how the dude walked up calmly after seeing the shithead start poo poo with ten different people, and then calmly lays him the gently caress out. Good for him.

The old wooden ships needed the right type of tree in the right length for masts and keel. I think the USN or whoever dragged the live oak out of the swamp for one of the first six frigates lost a bunch of men in getting it. My assumption is that new types of processed wood may make it usable again however processing usually eats into how green it is.

Related, but the Navy maintains a private white oak forest in Indiana specifically so they have wood on hand to refit the USS Constitution.

To be fair, grady didn't get captured, he was just an idiot

Can someone breakdown or detail how exactly O'Grady is an idiot or hosed up after he ejected?

Like the only thing I had told to me was that he hosed up by running towards the Super Stallion without IDing himself and he almost got shot as a result, but beyond that, I am clueless and would genuinely like to know more. I read his book as a kid and hated finding out later that he was a complete shithead and chud to boot.

Didn’t someone do an effort post on all of the things he did wrong that could have gotten him shot by the Marines who rescued him? Like I seem to recall he ran at the heli with his pistol out?

I mean, yeah? Anecdotal I know, but the few friends I have remaining in the foreign service are relieved to hear this news. Sometimes quiet professionals are better than bombastic blowhards, for example, the last four years.

Honestly, it's going to come down to if they go on a hiring spree (they will) or not. Supposedly a lot of career people have hung on in foreign posts but if Trump won re-election I could see those number dwindling even more.

The first time I saw my gangtag, I was definitely a bit :kstarehair: as it spends maybe a second too long on the flag before it starts burning. I can also see there being folks who have trouble parsing the message.

I had one person ask innocently why I had a confederate tag because they didn't have animated tags on or whatever. I didn't mind elaborating for that Goon, but the 2 or 3 that melted down about it were funny to watch.

My dad also lives nearby and endlessly gripes about being miles away from fuckface's golf course. Honestly surprised the Sherriff's office actually pressed charges since they are notoriously lovely.

Anyone here familiar with french politics?

I thought France and Germany where the only ones left that didn't elect a bunch of weirdo fash?

France is...odd. Despite the common American perception that they're all effeminate and socialists and lefty as all hell, they're not.

Macron is a pretty centrist, if not center right politician in France. Prior to him you had Hollande who was Socialist and Sarkozy who was Center-Right. Anyways, France's legislature is under Macron's parties control. As a result, you do get stupid as gently caress bills like this because funny enough, France has it's own problems with policing and racism (Read: people from North Africa/of North African descent or hell, just about anyone who isn't white but lives in France). Anyways, Macron won against Marie Le Pen and the National Front (French Nazis basically. gently caress you if you don't like that description) in 2017 but he did so pledging that he'd start to address the issues France has with migrants and crime, but not nearly as harshly as Le Pen promised to. Even so, you end up with stupid bullshit like this.

The one metal thing is that the French will absofuckinglutely riot over anything that like this that pisses them off and it often though not always results in some walk back whenever poo poo like this happens. Like that's not an understatement, they've been riots where firefighters start fighting the cops because the firefighters were pissed off about some union thing.
