Do you know what I love most? People enjoying themselves. I love to see it. People that are happy for no reason. I love to see it. People that encourage living on your own terms. I love to see it.
“Yellowstone National Park staff have confirmed they won't kill the bison that attacked a 65-year-old man.”
Why should they kill a bison for acting like a bison???
As an adult with no kids, it's my solemn duty to embrace the hobbies and adventures my peers no longer have time for, because they've sacrificed their freedom to keep the human race alive. I must travel, nap, pursue whimsical interests, and have fun in their honor.
The Game of Thrones theme was composed by Ramin Djawadi, who is of Iranian descent.
Hearing this melody played with Persian instruments and the daf drum is absolutely beautiful.
Chadd Wright retired from active military service in 2019. He was in Nigeria in 2014 alongside other international instructors to train the Nigerian Navy Special Boat Service (SBS) and other personnel in Lagos. This initial instructional phase took place 12 years ago. Wright did not release his viral video detailing his personal perspectives on the environment until 2022, which was 4 years ago.
During that exact same period in 2014, the United States placed an embargo on weapons sales to Nigeria. Faced with these restrictions and under severe security circumstances the AFN, the Nigeria Police Force, and the Department of State Services adapted strategically by sending personnel to train in Belarus. Through this foreign training, they became the most feared, highly skilled, and elite special forces in Nigeria at that time as terrified Insurgents who mistook their tactical capabilities for foreign mercenaries referred to them as "_Haya n Soja_" because of their lethality and precision. Once these operatives completed their training and returned, they unleashed hell on Boko Haram terrorists circa 2014, 2015, and 2016, successfully clearing major insurgent strongholds before policy decisions later saw the specific unit restructured and disbanded.
The year 2014 marked the very first time Nigeria as a whole fought a domestic insurgency of that magnitude and handled complex, full-scale asymmetric warfare. While Wright labeled the troops he met as "locals", his own experience did not include participating in conventional battles. During his time in Afghanistan, his role focused strictly on gathering intelligence and avoiding detection while operating in a non-traditional capacity.
The viral video he dropped years later pushed a highly narrow, outdated narrative that is dead on arrival. Today, Nigeria officially holds the best Special Operations Forces (SOF) in West Africa, features the most battle-hardened army on the African continent, and stands ranked as the 3rd strongest military in Africa and 33rd globally. A single retired instructor who was appointed to train personnel alongside others 12 years ago cannot be used to talk down on the modern capabilities of Nigeria's elite forces.
get a haircut every 2 weeks to stay sharp, wait 5 secs before answering the phone to control the rhythm, always arrive 15 mins early, stay away from free lunches, never talk about people who aren't in the room and when anger rises, wait 10 mins before reacting. these habits may look rigid but they're the hidden discipline of the elite.
