    Man am I glad I don’t work for the federal government.

    Work your whole life for your country just to get fired by a braindead twerp in the entertainment industry.

    And spend the rest of your life living amongst the dipshits responsible for that being possible.

    Meh, she was a willing member of a brutal organisation that terrorized multiple countries in wars of aggression. If you have more reverence for her then for, say, a Russian naval officer, then you don’t have principles, you just have rump nationalism.

          I revere neither the American nor Russian admiral, this isn’t about respect for the individual in question, it’s about the US political class removing competant and capable people because they don’t fit their ideological world view.

        Considering what might be coming, maybe it’s better if America has incompetent military leaders. This is a huge mistake that Hitler didn’t make.

          3 competing possibilities

          • compentent military leadership, but not resisting political leadership: either needs a coup and kill political leader (not likely) or will fail (likely)
          • incompetent ML, and but dumb enough to have their own agenda, crippling the plan (optimistic)
          • incompetent ML, and very submissive, allows the worse the occurs and succeed (bad)

          Hitler did not only have yesmen for his wars. There was even plots against him late in the war and he killed a lot of them too.

        I had this thought while at work today. Wondered if I’d be happier, then realized I’d probably just end up homeless, and stuck in and out of prison for the rest of my life because there is no way I could pay for care like a lobotomized Kennedy.

          The thing is, your quality of life can be as bad as it wants, but based on my observations of these creatures, they appear to be happier regardless, simply because they believe these things are good. Like eggs may have tripled in price, but they actually seem happier about that than when the prices were lower, simply due to the change in the person in charge. So it appears like you would also be liberated from your quality of life having any tangible effect on your happiness.

        dems chose a garbage candidate.

        Funny. That garbage candidate was orders of magnitude better than the other option.

        Then stupid Americans chose that other option.

        Almost like Americans are far more responsible for our current situation than the Democrat party.

    Imagine putting a fucking bird on your chest for forty years, saluting a piece of fabric, sacrificing your family and shit.

    40 years of putting on that clown makeup and they just stick the nose on someone else.

      I don’t personally believe in what she believes in, but it’s perfectly reasonable for someone who grew up during this country’s Reagan era to truly and genuinely believe that serving in the military is a valuable and fulfilling purpose that’s greater and more important than the needs of a single family.

      Maybe it’s clown makeup, but wouldn’t it be nice to feel some sense of purpose in your life rather than spending it shit talking people on the internet?

        I liked that it specifically didn’t choose a plot that mirrored any current events. It wasn’t a conservative versus liberal thing, it wasn’t a “south will rise again” thing.

          I guess that depends on anyone’s interpretation, it wasn’t too on the nose, but imo the fact that it was “Ron” who played the president + they were racists against mexicans it can quite easily be interpreted as a stand-in for trump.

          But I agree it wasn’t trying to be preachy, just showing the horrific consequences of war, war on US Soil specifically

      My understanding is that Obama encouraged frank expression of different opinions in the Cabinet. Not every leader values blind obedience.
