Truth

The question is, can you change your government?

Any governing body oversteps at some point

That's how you know if it's shitty or not

Valid

You can if you have term limits

Anyone read Noam Chomsky at all?

And no career politicians

Technically we're legally allowed to overthrow the governtment

Also true

"*Just kidding nsa*

For legal purposes this is a joke

lol

Just a meme bro

*being raided in 3 2 1*

Sorry my autism slipped

I used to have the same attitude about career politicians but in all honesty, I changed my mind and here's why. Bureaucracy in America was designed to be slow. Ask any relatively educated congressman or woman and they'll tell you that probably the biggest reason the government and it's decision making process was designed to be slow was because the founding fathers didn't want anything bad to happen quickly. The double edged sword is that nothing good can happen quickly either. There was an interesting video that I found where the daughter of Nancy Pelosi (I know, total bitch yada yada) interviewed outgoing members of the House in 2018, and that was what changed my opinion on career politicians. One republican flat out said he planned to be in for no longer than like 12 years... he stayed for 20. Because he couldn't accomplish his goals in Congress fast enough. He even said that a lot of them usually end up doing that for that reason

Another fucking big problem that they talk about in the video is leadership. They will whip their people to follow party line, even if they disagree with the decision... well... because it's party line

Let me see if I can find the video. Please take the time to watch it, it is without doubt the best video on Congress

i feel like it shouldn't be as rewarding

Because it's all members of Congress taking the attitude of fuck it, I'm leaving I don't have to hold my toung

My big issue is that it's devolved into 2 parties

Yeah. Like they get all these perks and shit

serving your nation should be a sacrifice for all involved not just the troops

Agreed

so only real patriots would want to rise to the calling

And I want all lobbying to fucking end

Put them on our pay scale

yes

Ah but there's a problem there

Cost of living in DC

Don’t care

And they have to pay their way on that

You do though

That’s on them

barracks

Because you don't wanna have to pay for their housing do you?

I thought y'all hated taxes lol

Boom. Barracks. Yes.

we alredy do...

I get what you mean

it would cost less

Not necessarily

But regardless of that if you're in the service your pay is the same

I want AOC on a fucking police call around the dem barracks

And Bernie better be sweeping out the halls with Ted Cruz

lmao

This is the best idea ever

Can we yell at them to stay off the grass?

i hope somone alredy does

And flip our rocks over for being too hot on one side lmao

Dan Crenshaw

yelling at other for being on grass

"sweep the rain"

...

I want aoc to apologize to mother nature for wasting the oxygen she worked so hard to produce for us

lol

Same could be said for all of them tho

Yep

@Trash Squid I had a joe sweep rain before

lol

we where walking to class in A school, and it was like a tropical storm in Pensacola Florida and a cheif was standing under a shelter and a kids was out sweeping rain off the side walk

died laughing

Lol

Random but I just heard back from my younger brother. He just graduated basic

Nice!

nice

Nice

Night man

Night, also in a few hours from bragg, fuck that place lol

Lol I’m from right outside of the backside of Bragg.

No shit?

No shit. Southern Pines.

I lived out in Fayetteville

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3gQbt0h5UQk found the video

Right off yadkin

Watch this shit

Yeah fuck fayettenam

It's insightful af on Congress

Nah fuck vice

Humor me

It's actually good

Their articles are retarded, but their videos are decent

Vice is shit tier news

I was gonna watch it regardless

lmao

Good to see what those shit birds think lol

Bois holy fuck

This shit just killed me

Was posted on another page

fucking beautiful

Anybody give that video a watch yet? I'm really interested in hearing people's thoughts

I just finished it.

Fuck Paul Ryan

@Trash Squid it doesn’t matter who wins that one. All my Rhodie bois are gonna rain hell whenever Brushstroke is up for a vote

I mean, I feel like that's an unfair comparison. Brushstroke is for African jungle warfare. Tri-color desert and Chocolate chip were for desert warfare

Much of where RBS was fielded was grassland.

Correction on my part; grassland. Now if we were gonna compare Brushstroke to say Marpat? Now THAT'S a debate

Well considering the USMC was going to go to RBS before MARPAT came into existence...

That is true

Gods I wish they would've

And I'm sorry, but that urban T camo they tested in the late 90s? tight af

Like the only reason they’re not rocking RBS is because they developed MARPAT

Shit probably didn't work

But it was cool as hell

The ninja shit? Not terrible. But not great for daylight

Nah Idk if it was ninja shit

It was a camo that they tested in the late 90s around when Operation Urban Warrior or whatever the fuck it was called was going down

Hold on, lemme find a pic

Back when they were testing skateboards as a legit combat maneuver enhancement 😂🤣

YES!

This shit right here

Ahhh. Not the ninja shit

Yeah nah, The urban combat shit was lit

Probably not very effective, but still interesting

The combat skateboard unit omfg that shit was hilarious

That was basically the US Marines saying "Hey... maybe we should try that Xander Cage xXx shit"?

Completely fucking retarded idea... or was it 😉

I appreciate you guys talking to me btw

Not gonna lie, hearing about the Venezuelan shit was a little concerning

Hey man I literally have nothing better to do lol

And it’s fun to talk to the young guys that are about to go in

Don’t even worry about Venezuela. If you go it will be after any sort of initial invasion has already gone down

While I try to take comfort in that idea, who knows. It all depends on the timing of things. Assuming we invade, maybe it happens next month, or next week. But if it happens after I graduate Parris Island, then who knows man. Personally, I'm not worried about the fighting. Their military is a joke, and the worst that I'll be worried about is the Bolivarian Revolutionary militia. They're shit tier wannabes, but in my experience, shit tier wannabes are the crazier ones. Even then, what really concerns me is just the overall loss of civilian life. War is messy. It's a dirty fucking job and shit happens. If I have to fight, so be it, and may the Gods bless me in battle. But in all honesty, I would be much happier if I could just go down their and hand out food and water to people that need it.

Then join the Peace Corps or a Civil Affairs unit. War is not pretty man. After PI you still have like 5 more months of schooling to do. You have to go to ITB and then your actual MOS school. And then you have to go to your unit, get in-processed, and there’s like a solid 3 more months of training and shit before you even set foot on a plane or boat to go to a war zone. War is war, and taking human life is something not a lot of people can do. If you pick up On Killing it goes into all of that. I was your age once and idealistic. Then I saw combat and had to put rounds into people. It will change you if you’re not ready for it. The best thing for you though is to be prepared mentally. Leave politics to the politicians. Your only purpose when you’re in is to either shoot things or support the guys doing the shooting.

Combat is no issue for me. I just wanna help people is all. And those organizations don't pay for college last time I checked

I'll be alright

Civil Affairs is part of USASOC and a pretty easy pipeline too. Peace Corps is garbage imo

Tru

Ttyl man, gonna go meet up with someone special

Later man! Beat cheeks!

You know it

I got 28/30 at my english exam today

Noice

Good job!

I might get job at milatry

Like Polska or US?

Polska at this time

Ok. You know you can come over here and join and it will speed up your citizenship stuff, right?

Yea but it is IT stuff

Ahhhh ok I think I see what you’re saying

Working for your military but not being in the military

This is what i meant

Got it

After i get to know my shit i Will aplay for IT at US military

Well, a job is a job. And anything that keeps you from sleeping on the streets is a win

You know what happens when you get out? YOU END UP IN A VAN DOWN BY THE RIVER

The US Army has an entire IT job field. After basic training you go to beautiful Fort Gordon, Georgia and learn about computers and IT systems

Had a few buddies in the IT field and they generally had easy jobs predeployments

I had a bunch of 25 series friends. They got out and used all the certificates they got while in to get nice cushy jobs on the outside

Basically what most of mine did

Others..not so much lol

Lol it’s a good strategy. Looking back I should have chosen a soft skill MOS. Finding bombs was fun but I was on the struggle bus for awhile when I got out.

Yeah I get that, "things go boom" on an application doesn't sound good lol

Lol for three years it didn’t. Then I lucked into what I do now. I handle an explosives detection dog and the money is pretty good. They saw “spent 6 years looking for IEDs and shit” and called me the day after I submitted my resume

Good shit lol

My situation was more of a "I gave up" shit show

But I'm getting my life squared away now

I’ve been there.

It’s ok to give up for a little bit. Take a breather and figure shit out. It’s entirely different to stay in the self pity party.

No doubt. Can't stay in the hole forever, took me a bit to realize it

But you realized it. Some people never do and just wind up becoming shells of themselves

True enough

Basically came to an agreement with myself, either i get my life squared away in the next two years or I just go off the grid and become a war touring merc

And for legal reasons that's a joke

lol

My endgame is to go back overseas for a PMC

K9 guys make some serious cash. Like SOC is paying K9 handlers 300+ bucks a day

Nice

Buddy of mine and I are thinking or starting a security firm at some point. *holds out can for donations* but it's a slow process atm lol

Yeah there’s a bunch of hoops and shit to jump through

Why the fuck we have fb group now?

Idk might as well haha

Well i asked if i can join

guess which one is mine

lol i think i found it

What gave it away?

the discord rank lol

don't tell anyone

i got you

Big

Fucking

Gey

What is big fucking gey

All of it lol

i fucked trap once but that doesn't count

Traps are the biggest gey

<a:NeonNOU:554420569685098498>

Dick makes it better

Still he or she gave me the best bj ever

I’ll fuck anyone

If you won’t fuck your homies you’re the biggest gay

Just say no homo and your in the clear <:dab:554422971381448750>

If you have boot bands on, it ain't gay

Yo what've I missed

Gay shit

So a normal Tuesday then

No homo though

It’s only gay if balls touch.

Or eye contact is made

Eh. That implies Eiffel towering a chick is gay

Touche

Also, there’s no stronger flex then jerking off in your CHU and your team leader walking in and holding eye contact with them as you finish up.

Than*. I’m tired just finished working.

The fuck

Hey man. Don’t judge us 😂🤣. But for real though McDonald’s sucks.

The biggest health crisis we have in this country is obesity and problems stemming from a shit diets

I don't jugde here

We have McDonald's in Poland too and they suck ass too

Completely joking lol. European McDonald’s is better than stateside McDonald’s. The EU won’t allow them to put all their fillers and shit into their food over there.

What time is it there in Warsaw?

Like 0906?

Oh fuck. Like 1406

1006

Ah I wasn’t too far off

I’m like 9 hours behind you

Literally on the other side of the world. Technology is fucking cool.

Yea its dope

But it’s time for me to rack out. Gotta go buy a proper bed tomorrow from Ikea. I’ll catch up with you in a bit my Polish friend.

Yea see you later

I passed my polish exam 25/40

And i 'm fucking done with finals

I used generation kill as one of my points

Good shit man

Weird flex moment, finishing up while taking a dump while getting shot at lol

Who's shooting lol

Might as well have been hajis lol

Lol

Guys i think i like one girl too much

Ruh roh

Ok man. Have you jerked off yet and then reapproached the subject? Sometimes we’re just thirsty for poonani.
