GM Homies and Frens. A Family that Dives together, Thrives together! Looking forward to lots of family time this weekend and some Diving when the boy naps. Hope everyone has a great weekend!
In 1952, a Marine lieutenant bought a small Mongolian mare from a young Korean stable boy for $250. The boy sold her because he needed money to buy an artificial leg for his sister.
The Marines named her Reckless, after their recoilless rifle platoon.
Her job was to carry heavy ammunition up steep hills to the guns. The Marines trained her to step over barbed wire, lie down under fire, and run into a bunker when shells started falling.
She learned fast. She also learned to eat everything: scrambled eggs, pancakes, Coca-Cola, beer, chocolate bars, and once, reportedly, a pile of poker chips.
In March 1953, during the Battle for Outpost Vegas, Reckless proved what she was made of.
In a single day, she made 51 trips up and down the mountain, mostly alone, carrying thousands of pounds of shells through enemy artillery fire. On the way back down, she often carried wounded Marines.
She was hit by shrapnel twice. She kept going.
The Marines promoted her to sergeant, then staff sergeant. She was awarded two Purple Hearts.
After the war, she came to America, lived at Camp Pendleton, and had foals of her own.
Life magazine named her one of America's 100 greatest heroes, alongside people like George Washington and Abraham Lincoln.
@ChrisAvellone@Kira9259@Iliekturtles12@Joebno_Gaming Take some time to appreciate this moment, everyone.
These are the dying gasps of moral grandstanding for the peanut gallery of smarm fucks that bled this industry out on the alter.
For a decade these infantile shits have lorded over gaming with this smug drivel.
@CarverDarkness@Helldivers_NOW Yeah. We mostly just enjoy new Warbonds... but that gets old quick. She loves her Recoiless Rifle. Or her Beltfed Grenade Launcher
@CarverDarkness@Helldivers_NOW do you know how to get them? You do the "Follow me" voice command.
I hear ya, I am getting bored with Diving (lack of progression with samples), but we love it still and try to mix things up. She's currently leveling up the Sweeper shotgun.
@CarverDarkness@Helldivers_NOW Wife and I Dive where SEAF is. She runs the Stealth kit and does solo side stuff while I lead a platoon of..... enthusiastic autists to kill bugs.
