Walter Reed would be spinning in his grave.

He played John Adams’ son in law in the HBO series and even that guy turned out to be a weird little freak who couldn’t hold down a real job.

Shit, I think the most hippie liberal teachers were in the theology department. Aside from the history teacher who was an actual ex-hippie whose band opened for Hendrix once.

You add the water. It becomes wine.

Ceasefire: one Deci-Mooch.

This is why the rigger’s knife exists. Non-stabby blade. Ask me no questions about that marlinspike…

Can we start with just this family?

Kutcher had a throwaway line in The Guardian joking about joining the Coast Guard after his bull riding career went down the drain. Lo and behold, I knew a nonrate who had done exactly that.

Shit, aside from galley fires, that’s probably the most common accidental shipboard fire. Which is why it always bothered me that the *redacted* class puts the dryers on the opposite side of the bulkhead from the something that can go boom.

A practitioner of reverse phrenology. Instead of feeling his existing head bumps to determine intellect, he whacks himself in the face with a hammer to achieve the desired head bumps.

Tangential question: our AVDETs never broke a bird to the point where it needed the Crane of Shame. Which is more embarrassing: the crane off the boat or the one back at the air station taking it off the truck?

One could make the argument that while Vietnam and Iraq were bigger in scale, this appears to be a bigger blunder in terms of raw, unbridled idiocy laid bare for the world to see. OIF and Nam had stupid goals, and lied about them, but they had goals. This is “drunk uncle” bombing.

This is really not helping the “Israel decided the timeline” argument.

I knew this because in my younger days I was a fan of Abbywinters and Girlsoutwest. The accent kinda does it for me.

Typical corps-only Citadel/VMI grad.

The Coast Guard be like

“The perfect Army officer is a rich hot guy with precisely one divorce and no I am not projecting anything here how dare you!”

And it’s probably played by a member of the USAF Band, who are all professional musicians directly recruited because they are at the top of the craft for that instrument. You know, the sort of person who probably agrees to only play on a Steinway.

Same people who think sinking the Belgrano was a war crime. And then the Argentine CO is like “wtf? I was on my way to hunt the British fleet! Don’t insult me by calling my ship an illegitimate target. I got outplayed!”

Knew a few gay dudes who were annoyed at the repeal of Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell because that was their draft exemption.

Marco isn’t the favored lackey currently.

Come on now, how could we be expected to know that we should evacuate noncombatants from a war zone when *checks notes* we fired the first shot.

Hey now, Big Mouth Billy Bass does exactly what the advertisements say he does!

Say what you will about W, at least he put in the effort to justify the war. And it was the dominant news story for the administration. This is barely scraping top 5 unhinged things the administration did this week.

“I die as I lived! Free! And a victim of my own poor decisions!”

Uncle Fred’s welcome to keep believing in the secret adrenochrome ranch, so long as he admits that POTUS was an enthusiastic participant in those parties, tbh.

*insert copypasta from “mom of a fallen Navy Seal” about how “God uses that salty sailor” to enact His will.*

“Hi, would you like to talk to us about the insanity with Noem and the plane?” And then getting more stories than they expected.
