It's been 37 years since the June 1989 Tiananmen Massacre, when countless peaceful pro-democracy protesters were killed in Beijing.
To this day, the Chinese government has failed to accept responsibility for its crimes. Learn more:
#Marines with 2nd Marine Aircraft Wing take part in a sundown ceremony for the AV-8B Harrier II at Marine Corps Air Station Cherry Point, North Carolina.
The “sundown” of the AV-8B Harrier II, an iconic aircraft that has supported joint and Marine Corps operations for over 40 years, also represents the dawn of a new era; it paves the way for 2nd MAW’s full transition to the F-35B and C Lightning II.
VMA-223 is the U.S. Marine Corps' last operational Harrier squadron.

@Nerdrotics I cannot imagine being a 60 y/o man so unhealthily attached to a gay toy line from the 80's, that a shitty movie it's based on would get me even close to this enraged.
Honestly, this is just as cringe as grown men crying over movie trailers.
The tank man photo is probably the most iconic image of individual courage in existence.
The Chinese governments actions in Tiananmen square should have been a warning to the west. Instead we have allowed the CCP to become a threat to democracies around the world.
37 years ago today, the Chinese government brutally crushed peaceful protesters in and around Tiananmen Square who were demanding an end to corruption, freedom of speech, and democratic reform. The massacre revealed a truth the world should never forget: the Chinese Communist Party will do whatever it takes to preserve its grip on power. If it did not value the lives of its own citizens, why would it value the lives of others?
On June 3, at the direction of #SOUTHCOM commander Gen. Francis L. Donovan, Joint Task Force Southern Spear conducted a lethal kinetic strike on a vessel operated by Designated Terrorist Organizations. Intelligence confirmed the vessel was transiting along known narco-trafficking routes in the Eastern Pacific and was engaged in narco-trafficking operations. Two male narco-terrorists were killed during this action. No U.S. military forces were harmed. @DeptofWar #OpSouthernSpear
In 1954, a U.S. Air Force B-57B Canberra captured footage of Castle Bravo — the most powerful nuclear test ever conducted by the United States.
The detonation at Bikini Atoll yielded 15 megatons, 1,000× stronger than Hiroshima.
@TaglesTopGuy It's a failure of thinking ahead, past that day and remedial math!
Yeah, a lot of the posts are engagement slop...but most of the responses are sadly real!
My breakdown for my area is even cheaper.
