Talk about poor bastards, we had a staff sergeant in our unit with the nickname lucky. He burned in twice, got ran over, been shot, been electrocuted, and been blown up. Dude was 30 something but he looked like he was 80

Fuxk

Wait... no shit? I think I've heard of this guy.

And apparently my voice to text is all fucked up

What unit?

Staff sergeant sitter. He was with 2/325th AIR when I got out.

Hmmm... maybe not. That sounded vaguely familiar though. Down at Bragg, right?

And to make everything even more hilarious, he was a chain smoker.

get in there ladies and gentlemen. win hearts and minds don't get combative

Yep. Second brigade at Bragg

Nice AK dude

nevermind guess it didn't copy the damn link

And it refreshed so its been lost

I would love to shorten my AK barrel a little, but I don't wanna deal with that shit.

This would have been before 4th brigade split to the other three.

Remember, if it's a side folding pistol brace, it's a pistol

Yeah, when I was in, we have 4 brigades combine and disband to just 2

My AK is an Underfolder

82nd only has 2 brigades now?

No, I was 1ID

I think 82nd should still have... 3?

So when I graduate and become a LEO do I leave, or do you guys throw me out? Or are forest rangers exempt?

As long as you're on our side, you're fine.

Ah. Yeah it shocked me that the 508th PIR got split to 3 brigades.

I don't hate all law enforcement so long as they aren't tyrants. But overall, I distrust them.

That's fair, I don't trust cops either

Forest rangers are kind of a weird gray area.

But the job of a LEO in the US is *literally* nothing other than enforcing the will of the state on citizens, and extorting them for money, or locking them in cages for possession of whatever they deem bad this year.
Not to mention the long and continuous history of LEO doing little to nothing helpful and violently abusing the citizenry.

Tree cops can shove it.

Cops aren’t bad because some of them do bad things. Cops are bad because every single one of them has voluntarily agreed to enforce the will of the state with violence, and continued to do so when the will of the state is both immoral and unconstitutional

I mean that's fair, I just like nature. I want to get paid for being outside

I'm more of in the middle... Rangers can be good, but they can also be bad. Taking care of nature is good. When you start to act as law enforcement just because a few kids wanna sit around and fish and maybe have a couple beers. I don't like that. Tell them to clean up, but otherwise let them be.

There are weird forest service jobs that are like technically LE but just like watch trees and shit

I mean, I hate litterers with a passion. And I do believe in anti-poaching laws.

We have to manage the population of prey animals, or we would hunt them to the brink.

If people are hunting for sport, yeah I get that. But if they are actually trying to get food, or out there bushcrafting, I think that's just life.

The reason I said that, is because I have a suppressor that is legal in Idaho. But it doesn't follow federal law.

Fuck it, suppressors shouldn't be regulated.

They do nothing but protect your ears.

I think you should be able to buy them over the counter, like any other earpro
