@JPaaronm @IMAO_ Your strategy of relying on the government to protect you isn’t working brother.

@2terrific4you @blinova14 @benshapiro …… Rome……

[FlyOptimum @FlyOptimum]

@blinova14 @benshapiro 1st Rome still exists. 2nd Rome was conquered by Muslims. If there is a 3rd Rome, that shit backwater Moscow would be near the bottom of the list of candidates.

The atmosphere wasn’t bad, the sun, heat, oppressive dust haze everywhere, the greys and browns of concrete and dirt being the only thing your eyes see for months and months. There was also that constant feeling like you were just a bad day away from getting split in half by an IED or dropped by a sniper nobody sees. Even the kid selling CDs on base was a decent addition.

What was beyond stupid was them just casually driving around in their truck by themselves like a patrol car in the Bronx, running outside cordons on their own personal side quests, and our boys having half the specialties in the Army.

@MarkyMa11373784 @pmarca This, right here, was the most radicalizing incident of my life. When those pricks clapped like seals for rioters while hectoring us for YEARS for just trying to live our lives in peace, I realized they weren’t just wrong, but they were evil, and my enemies.

@pmarca I saved this for a rainy day. Today is that day

He said in this particular case they’d taped together some blocks to act as their “C4” that he taped to the fuelers and CP so he could set them off simultaneously before the worked his way down the flight line “smashing” the Apaches. I’m sure they threw an arti sim to set the whole thing in motion.

@TexanVetDad @grachan_smile I want my entire life documented this way

[FlyOptimum @FlyOptimum]

@ackronomy @grachan_smile Or you could tell a young E5 he has to get to dental but make it impossible for him to do so unless he does something drastic and watch the magic happen.

[FlyOptimum @FlyOptimum]

@h8zbdRuaYbFiaHG @grachan_smile He’d take you up on that lol.

@jason_howerton A valiant, but ultimately doomed effort.

@dietrichBonh @CynicalPublius The standard for a good war story is it only has to be 10% true, provided it’s funny and you’re not lying to make yourself look good. You can like to make yourself look stupid as much as you want.

[FlyOptimum @FlyOptimum]

@OvatePenguin @grachan_smile Yes Fort Polk, and yes, I can confirm it does, in fact, blow.

@DarthMegalodong @severalnitrogen @grachan_smile Army training is the greatest LARP of all time.

[FlyOptimum @FlyOptimum]

Because this post was doing so well I called him to hear the story again. Turns out I didn’t remember some key details. He also blew up their fuel trucks. His gunner killed a bunch of pilots that ran out to try and save the aircraft with the 240. He mobility (simulated ran over) killed some poor fool who charged his track with a 9mm.

A CH-47 that happened to be on approach when he did this had to abort and go to their alternate landing site which was too close to the portajohns and caused a whole bank of them to tip over on the doors with soldiers inside of them. One poor soul used his gerber to cut his way out of the back of one because he was covered in blue shit water and refused to wait for rescue.

He did so much damage the OCs had to admin kill him just to make the carnage stop and he essentially reset the entire exercise back 24 hours single handedly.

The great JRTC Dental Rampage must have been a sight to behold.

[FlyOptimum @FlyOptimum]

@grachan_smile Buddy of mine was on OPFOR at JRTC and was trying to get killed so he could get out of the field and make his dental appointment. He did a deliberate suicide run with his track onto the airfield, destroyed half the aircraft and blew up the command post and left unscathed.

[FlyOptimum @FlyOptimum]

@severalnitrogen @grachan_smile That’s pretty much it lol

[FlyOptimum @FlyOptimum]

@PittCatholic @planefag Come on buddy, think just a bit harder and you’ll get there.

[FlyOptimum @FlyOptimum]

Politicians have been promoting political allies of like mind to high office since time immemorial. No system of governance devised by the mind of man has overcome this impulse.

Occam’s Razor lands firmly on the side of President and Secretary of War selecting officers who share their vision than “muh racism and sexism” or your fantasies that any previous regime restrained itself to selecting officers for any reason other than political allegiance.

If you don’t like the way things are going, go win an election. Until then, take it on the chin like everyone else.
