Quote HistoryThere is no ammo anywhere near them, I would bet. You would lose that bet. DC now controls all sent forward forces and is managing the external optics very closely- but we are doing everything we can take care of and protect our own even when they are attached away. For example, where do you think that pic of the loaded mag came from? An otherwise closed pouch is the answer. |

Quote HistoryQuoted: I’ve heard from people that went through more recent than me that cell phones are definitely a thing in boot to one degree or another, but I always thought the stress card thing was a myth. Wasn’t it just a thing they tried in a navy basic training class once and later abandoned or something IIRC? Stress cards made it through less than half a cycle back in the 90s. You can't find a picture of one because they don't exist. Piece of shit turd gargling goat Fuckers keep bringing them up because they were too scared to join even with the thought they could hide behind a stress card. |

Quote HistoryQuoted: Within the past ten years one of my buddies was a BCT battalion commander at Ft. LW and his recruits only got their cell phones back for short periods of time at the completion of each phase of training, and that was only if the drill instructors felt they'd earned them. The rest of the time they were locked up. Shut up. |

Quote HistoryHenry Kissinger told GHW Bush that it wasn’t the time to alienate China after this and that it was a perfectly reasonable response to peaceful protest. As a reward he was given a business deal with the CCP worth tens of millions. When that cocksucker dies he will be treated as a hero by both the right and left and lain in state in that building,a building he sold to China. |

Quote HistoryQuoted: Yeah that’s where I’m at. The whole “fuck it, it’s what servicemembers do” is a great mentality to have when you’re in. It keeps you content with shitty conditions. But now that I’m out, fuck all that. That’s not what I’m ok with them having, and that’s not what I’d be ok with my Joes having either. None of these politicians thought “hey maybe I can help these guys out”? No, they walk right past like they’re some homeless beggar. They’re not in the jungles of Borneo or something. They deserve better, and better is easily attainable. Is it that much to ask of SNCOs and Os to go secure some mats? For that matter, I don’t know why they wouldn’t have just been on a packing list. I don't think the soldiers give a shit about politicians talking to them or helping them out and would rather avoid it all, because politicians have no fucking say and the troops cant accept any gifts from them regardless. Theres a fucking reason for it. I'm sure they were briefed about politicians, lawful orders, ROE and everything they need to hopefully not fuck up. Your trying to blame the NCO's but it looks like the guys packed what they wanted and I'm sure they will be sending up some cots once they figure out what they are doing, how long the mission will be and where they are sleeping for this shit show. You're worried about cots and I guarantee those guys are wondering how long the are going to be stuck there so they can tell there employers, schools and families. They have electricity, ac/heating and a roof over there head, they are fine for the short term. |
