Is anyone else still trying to figure out what orange soda has to do with anything?

Good read.

I have seen little blips moving in the periphery of my visual field before, when I've been awake for extended periods (2-3 days), and had little twitches and shivers before. A friend told me some really interesting stories about full-on hallucinations he had toward the end of Ranger School.

It might be time for a nap...

Cool story bro.

Yep.  I think it was still the NKVD back then.

Great story, though

Indeed.  The Nazis were merely interested in killing those they didn't like.  It was more of a job for them than anything else.  The Japanese, though....those mother fuckers were inhuman.

You read about the horror movie type shit they did in China, and you don't feel a bit sorry for dropping the atom bombs on them.

I know, see my above post.

I imagine certain folks in China subjected to Imperial Japan's special brand of horror were disappointed that we didn't nuke the bastards at least 10 times.

The rest of asia doesn't give a flying FUCK about the anniversary of the A-Bomb on Japan.

 

Just close the doors and pump another gas, say, nitrous oxide, into the chamber.

Then rape them.

Ranger School was a special kind of fun.

I had a conversation with a yucca plant in the desert phase (back when they still had that).  I thought it was a SEAL Doc that was going through and I thought he was doing a map check.  
I said, "Doc, we're moving!"
He said, "Gimme a sec, I'm doin' a map check."
I gave him a couple of secs, and he was still laying there.  I reached down to pick him up by his duece gear and grabbed a yucca plant that was on it's side.  Doc turned into a yucca plant!  I did a "WTF" for about half a second, and then realized it was a hallucination.

I had auditory halucinations about the whole time I was in the field in desert phase.

I had a couple of other visual halucinations in mountain phase...

Not funny when you really think about it...



ETA:  Ok, it's funny, in a bent sort of way.  
 

I saw another guy put imaginary quaters in a tree and then proceed to drink an imaginary soda.  That was probably the funniest one.

I saw two different guys eat imaginary meals too.

I fell asleep, standing up with a mouthful of MRE cracker and woke up a couple of hours later, still standing up and still with a mouthful of MRE cracker.  My tongue was so swollen...

The auditory hallucinations would drive you a little crazy though.  Everybody had them, and everybody heard something different.  It was usually so faint that you could just barely make it out.  I heard my name being whispered over and over and over, and sometimes big band music.  Other people heard country music or heavy metal.  Other people heard their names being whispered too.  One dude finally had enough, and right in the middle of a patrol he just started yelling at the top of his lungs, "WHAT?? WHAT THE FUCK DO YOU WANT???  WHAT THE FUCK DO YOU WANT???"

Good times.

I go out of my way to avoid learning any more about Unit 751 and/or the other atrocities committed by the Japs (no offense intended to persons of Japanese descent, only to those sick fucks). Their treatment of POW's was about as sickening I care to take.
I feel no remorse at all for Hiroshima and Nagasaki, although I do realize that the people who needed killing weren't the ones killed. And our behavior is hardly above reproach, they should have been hunted down and executed with at least as much diligence as Nazi's.

The story in the OP would make a great start to a movie

Just about to see if someone posted this.  I guess Ernie is an Arfcom reader.
