@TwoRulesOfWar A field hospital commander saw us out there and he was like “this is fucking army, hooah? Next AT, say goodbye to the FOB, we’re in tents from now on”.

So nobody in the rest of the brigade/division liked us after that

@TwoRulesOfWar It was fort McCoy, our commander picked whatever range is at the top left. Base staff was life what about all these other areas she was like no here and they were like where will you sleep and she was like in tents in the trees.

@TwoRulesOfWar What was worse, for me, was first 3-4 weeks of Covid lockdown. It was like 2-3 traumas a night and it was all 40-60 yr dudes drunkenly fixing their roof at 12-4 am. Totally bizarre like a weird B movie plot.

Discussion about AC should be thrown in the trash if anyone was literate about history.

The battle of the Alamo and all of the fighting in Texas occurred in Texas, with people wearing wool felt uniforms.

Much of the fighting in the war of 1812 occurred in the south. And Louisiana.

The civil war: no further notes.

People wearing outrageously hot outfits fighting wars outside in the sun when people are saying human beings can’t survive.

@EODHappyCaptain I’ve been without AC many times in the army. Humans can live without it.

Things that make it tough: gear, vehicles, constructed buildings.

Things that make it better: shade, water (frozen if possible), movement of air (wind, fans, whatever you can improvise).

@zuki_2024 I still remember when it was reported they both worked security at the same night club. And then nobody ever talked about that again.

@TwoRulesOfWar In fort Leonard wood basic training, we slept nut to butt in wooden shacks probably 100 years old during a tornado warning.

Some years later met someone from another company at same time. Dude was like yeah we took shelter in the bunkers.

I was like wtf bunkers where were those

@TwoRulesOfWar Bad ass

@TwoRulesOfWar @coffee_oil @TheBuddyCSM I lost money every time I put on the uniform in the reserves. That’s why I think people misunderstand, the people who are there are in it for love of the game. Talk about weekend warriors all you want but at least in medical there’s no benefit greater than the experience.

@zuki_2024 He reminds me of butch from pulp fiction. Should go out on a high note like he did

@burner_advocate @ELuttwak There won’t be many infantry combat experienced vets left by like next year. There are virtually none in fighting shape now.

Just before the 2003 invasion of Iraq I testified before the Sen Foreign Rel Comm w Biden in the chair: do not invade Iraq--only Iran will benefit . Re Afghanistan : ignore foolish Petraeus who promises an Afghan army--it will never fight the Talibs. But opening Hormuz is dff

What I mean is, in recent memory, the MCU is the first phase of disclosure.

[Emergency Medical Hologram @GTRDrake]

The world needs a release valve. A way to express that which you can’t say, the thing everyone feels but you can’t quite put a finger on.

For quite some time now, it’s shown up in pulp fiction. Movies, comic books and such.

That’s why, when someone set about to make a serious comic book film series (the MCU) everyone loved it.

@6Voodoo @BrainLeakage03 @HinckJon Does that work for citizenship too or no and if not why not

[Emergency Medical Hologram @GTRDrake]

@TheIOGuy You only had to watch the movie to come to this conclusion. Excellent analysis.

[Emergency Medical Hologram @GTRDrake]

@TheIOGuy Doing cowboy shit in the field/theatre and someone lives because of it: pretty cool

Doing cowboy shit in a level 1 trauma center for no reason and killing/maiming someone: criminal

Yet the culture in mil med centers somehow hasn’t changed a whole lot, apparently
