So is Hell, Michigan.

Careful, US pilots might start purposely crashing - seeing as a furry designed the cooling system in their suits they might get all horned up.

The US (and international coalition) very openly arms the Kurds in Northern Iraq, and through the SDF (YPG and YPJ are DTOs so they can’t technically send to them) in Syria while Turkey shells the aid workers responding to earthquakes. To assume they stop arming the Kurds at the border implies Iran has excellent border security.

An armed Kurdish population gives Turkey something to play strongman against. They know it’s happening.

I don’t know that they’re as evil as can be but certainly not anywhere near neutral or good.

Vote with your wallet works if everyone agrees with you…

And the amount of people that love gambling makes it clear that most people do not agree with me.

Never been to prison, huh?

State department can’t always evacuate everyone. Can’t spend the big bucks doing an extraction on every American because one building got hit. When the region was getting hot in 2021, state department had like five five-seater jump planes in the area to do everything.

Now you’ve got hundreds of people getting squirrelly and demanding a flight now when the airspace is not looking great.

Okay, rephrasing it then “What are Americans doing in near proximity to a place that has been a war zone for more than 20 years due to US intervention in the region?” and the answer is “Either profiting off of US oil interests or propping up the tourism industry of US interested parties.”

M240 weighs like 12 or 13kg and fires 7.62.

Plus, it would’ve totally been common in service at the time of the movie’s release…

It’s just not as cool though.

To track when you’re falling asleep or texting or are vaguely Asian looking.

“Realism” and “Man portable minigun without support battery and backpack”

To make the gun light enough for your character to handle it the barrels are made of aluminium foil.

More like, Ramadan, meaning they’re ticked off because they’re hungry and go fire off a few IRAMs. Attacks always increased when they were fasting.

Dining facilities. Surf and turf nights are actually pretty regular, ever since at least ~2009 if you’re on a big base (or, like any base in Kuwait) you’re getting at least one a month.

The better draw was Indian nights. Those subcontractors can’t cook a steak to save their lives for obvious reasons but they make a mean tikka masala.

Guess I’m a sports writer now. I can make that work.

“I was talking with my Dad about how I was planning to vote for Trump after seeing all the good he was doing for this country. He was so excited he handed me a firearm, as is tradition in our family, but he failed to inform me it was loaded and it tragically went off. Since we don’t let liberals handle guns in this household, Dad never taught me proper gun handling. Now that I’m a future and forever Trump voter though, I’m sure this won’t happen again.”

Checkmate, Sheriff.

You press it against your face, put it face down on the table, shove it in your pocket, and then rub your fingers all over it…

Who am I kidding? Most people just rub their fingers all over it all day and also don’t wash their hands. Phones can be a wonderland for germs.

But your masters do, so you will live without gaming PC. Enjoy subscription streaming gaming from now on.

But, if you die your family gets commissary access for life…

As long as you stay near a base. Cheaper to pay more at whole foods than drive to the closest Commissary.

What really matters is the exchange and tax free on big appliances.

People also made more, dollar to dollar, so they could afford a more expensive appliance…

And if they didn’t? Well, we don’t think about them when we think of the idealized appliances of the past.

I can’t tell you how many times I emailed someone last week asking that they don’t send me any sensitive information over insecure channels.
