I listen to it all the time!!

I love that show! Remember that one time when he said “where are my pants?” Cracks me right up

I’m worried that the government is just going to send me to conversion therapy before they send me back into the military

It’s been a multi-industry effort. Military is just one of those prongs. It’s been annoying. How many things I couldn’t operate on my own system because some contractor had to do it instead. I would have been able to figure that out and actually take care of problems but I have to make a phone call just so somebody else can push a button

AWACS are spread over the world though and they need to keep some of these for maintenance. The readiness rate, meaning the ones that can fly missions is 56% which is actually rather high. Still what that means is they might have dozens, but that means only one dozen that are mission capable.

It’s not a crisis but it hurts

Now I feel bad! I made Von Clausewitz sad!

Wow! Now I can blend into the couch!

That sort of thing goes on your record though. You don’t simply leave the service without the government knowing. They will literally put a warrant out for your arrest

Defected? Like went to a different country?

One can’t just quit the National guard. There’s a contract that holds them for a period of time. Imagine somebody signs a 6-year contract in 2022. I don’t think they can be held liable for Trump’s actions when it wasn’t even clear he was going to actually run again. I signed a 4-year contract as an active duty service member in 2021. I got out in January last year and so I’m thankful for that. But every day or so I have to think about what my colleagues would have to decide. They’re not in it to subjugate people. They’re in it for a steady career and because they believed in a liberal America and looking to make the world a more stable place. The military is a sword and it really depends on who’s using it, whether it’s good or bad.

I love natural things like the B-2

Strategically transfer equipment to alternate location

Was the FIFA Peace Prize not good enough?

Protected by empty promises of a rules based international order

Not again please for the love of God

Holy anachronism! Is that brass?

He’s really gung-ho about killing people. Less legality more lethality

Those offices are not cushy. The fan never works properly. The AC makes it so it has 10000 ft of temperature difference in 10 feet. And can someone bring me another frappachino?

I’m reminded about when he broke up a protest against police brutality to get a photo op in front of a church in 2020. I guess that sort of thing is just another tuesday

That’s the power of the E-4 mafia. Troops overweight? Not on paper they aren’t.
