@WaterlooVoodoo@EchoesofWarYT Had the privilege of escorting Ms Rudder to an event while I was at A&M. Picked her up at her home and got to hang out for 30 min or so. Will never forget the picture of Gen Rudder speaking to his men at the top of Point de Hoc in her house. She was very proud of it.
We also lost 13 at Abbey Gate and I’ve seen you put in NO requests to bring the two masterminds, Sanaullah Ghaffari and Sirajuddin Haqqani to justice. Also, zero from you on the fact that Osama bin Laden’s own son, Abdullah, was also involved in plotting Abbey Gate. Politicking off the deaths of those who serve is cringe, at best.
@FromKulak And don't forget that maritime treaties notwithstanding, Russian ships only transit the Bosporus and Dardanelles with Turkey's blessing. Push comes to shove, Russia in landlocked in the Black Sea unless it militarily defeats Turkey.
Items your tax dollars are being spent on:
-$100,000 to study if tequila or gin makes sunfish more aggressive
-Nearly $1M to study if cocaine makes Japanese quail more sexually promiscuous
-$750,000 to study if the moon landing line was “One small step for Man” or “One small step for ‘A’ man”— the study was inconclusive.
@artofmanliness Excellent reminder. I’ve made this routine a habit for years. I check doors/windows and ensure cars are locked. Neighbor recently had two cars broken into and they were both unlocked.
Son is reading All Quiet on the Western Front in HS English and I'm reading it along with him. I had forgotten how daunting it is..."Bombardment, barrage, curtain-fire, mines, gas, tanks, machine-guns, hand grenades---words, words, but they hold the horror of the world"
I didn’t pick up in this when I first saw this clip, but it sure seems like she took a long blink and struggled to move forward after the prompter went out (if that’s what happened)
Kamala's teleprompter briefly went out at the beginning of her speech — you can tell the exact moment it happened.
She had absolutely no idea what to do or say.
Humiliating.
