@voluntaristyler @TheWTFNation Probably mid to high 40’s based exclusively off of historic promotion rates. I assume he does not intend to ETS before he’s retirement eligible.
@KurtEnns @ElvingJack@Techerous@Srirachachau I’d say the ethical questions aren’t even really subtext. Reckless use of that tech led to his wife killing herself after losing all grasp on reality and then framing him for her murder.
@kermiszk@thejoshl I think it was just Oppenheimer considering the possibility that her death was not a suicide. If I remember correctly, that image flashes for 1/2 a second during Grove’s warning about COL Pash and his request to kill the communists within Oppenheimer’s inner circle.
@JustinRozell@agraybee Letters from Iwo Jima focuses on the last few months of the war when the Japanese army was in a desperate final defense of their own home islands. It does not show the previous 14 years of them raping and killing their way through half of Asia.
@Ryanrob2121 @IRHotTakes A few weeks ago people were assuming it would be a glamorized puff piece and we’re preemptively angry that Nolan certainly omitted the attempted poisoning of his professor. Then the movie comes out and that scene is literally in the first 10 minutes.
@LazyDogBone @TroopsinContact@CombatCavScout My task force had the medevac mission in RC-S in 2009 and testicular torsions were extremely common missions, especially for light infantry units. They were considered urgent missions because you could lose one or both testicles if the issue is not addressed quickly.
@seachickenycats@yashar Because the military healthcare system includes retirees who are sometimes prescribed medications like Viagra. There’s no shortage of areas where the Pentagon deserves criticism but the fact that they provide healthcare to vets and active personnel is not one of them.
@ArmyMudPuppy Require O-6 signature on every page printed on JWICS and SIPR printers. This problem could largely be resolved if leaders would give up their attachment to hard copy products.
@SomeLeftyTroll@LethalityJane The contractor running the DFAC bid too low for the contract and ended up running out of cash. The employees haven’t been paid and are understandably uninterested in working for free.
Eleven years ago, I witness the harassment, threatening, and murder of innocent Afghan locals by my former platoon leader. Now, he's applying for the state bar in Oklahoma to attempt to practice law. I'm going to object on moral fitness and character. This is a thread.
@TimTimson1234@Lamergier2@BrndnStrssng Is it possible for an adult human to watch that movie and walk away not realizing that the Hitler character is a child’s imaginary friend?
