Patriotism is still cool.
You're just a bunch of sad sap losers.

In a nation of plummeting pride and MAGA hats, “patriotism just isn’t cool anymore,” Arthur Krystal writes. newyorker.com/magazine/2026/…

I own a home and am thinking about buying a 2nd. I've worked since I was 14. I have a fair amount saved up, and I want to try to buy houses for my kids before I die.
Also, I'm about a decade younger than this person.

I am 52 years old. I have been working since I was 15 years old. I have no savings, no retirement, and will never own a home before I die.
And there is now a trillionaire.

Dort really hits home with this. This is exactly how I felt nearly my entire time in, and why I got out. I declined my orders for the schoolhouse because I didn't want to be kept from deployment. My last 2 years in were some of the worst administrative nightmares, luckily broken up by a deployment but still terrible.
Retarded junior NCOs getting caught with Pot in a stolen car trying to come through the main gate. CSM asking me how this happened.
"I don't know, SGM. Maybe we shouldn't have promoted him (like I said); maybe we also should have kicked him out ( like I said)."
Getting yelled at by a full bird at Behavioral Health because I questioned if it was a good idea to give a private who was abusing his antidepressants a 90-day prescription. I literally just asked him if he would limit his dosage. Then getting yelled at by the fat female psychiatrist, or whatever, on the same visit because the full bird, in my opinion, was being unreasonable, but that dumb bitch was equally unreasonable. This all culminated in me getting yelled at by my 1sg because I apparently was rude and disrespectful. (After I explained my opinion to him, he went with the CO to chat with the behavioral health people)
That private was later chaptered out, then killed himself with an overdose.
I have multiple similar stories about garrison and big army nonsense. Sometimes it seemed like senior NCOs would do stuff because that's what their senior NCOs did to them.
But when you got sent out to a COP in the middle of "indian country," you didn't have to have the Eye of Sauron always watching you. You just had your brothers and your mission. You got to live life.

Civilians will have difficulty understanding what I’m about to say.
But all we ever wanted in GWOT was to be as far away from the “flagpole” as possible.
To be off on our own in the hinterlands.
Getting shot at every day was preferable to the insufferable helicopter parenting the large bases were famous for.
So yes. We would rather be placed in a higher risk situation for our personal safety than suffer through some idiot yelling at us for not wearing a PT belt on a FOB.
It was these same people who would turn us away from the chow hall because we were too dirty after battle.
We would rather risk death on our own than be ruled by risk averse midwits.

On my 1st deployment, still a PFC, Private Snuffy and I were tasked with securing some equipment after we just got off the flight line in BAF. We had just gotten back from a months-long mission in BFE Afghanistan, and we were looking a little haggard, a little dirty, and my uniform especially was looking a little worn 😂 (I had a poorly sewn crotch hole) (I think there was also a hole in the leg from trying to jump a fence while carrying a 240 at night)
This was before all the buildup.
We're on our way to the chow hall when this MSG driving by in a HUMVEE slams on his brakes, then he and his SFC passenger hop out, jog over to us, and start screaming at us about our appearance, etc. At this time, the rest of our platoon is already in the DFAC. So I look over at Snuffy, while standing at parade rest, and say, "Go tell PSG." Snuffy leaves under a hail of screaming from these 2 NCOs, but that doesn't matter. These 2 have no idea what is in store for them 😂😂😂😂
Our PSG was the meanest man in Afghanistan. Trust me, I suffered because of it 😂. ( I also suffered because I was a dumbass private)
Snuffy returns with our PSG, who tells me to "get back with the rest of the platoon." As Snuffy and I are leaving, though, our PSG, who at the time was probably the most terrifying person in my life, gets right in the MSG's face and starts screaming about how we're actually warriors unlike him; he then leans in and very quietly says what I'm guessing were threats against this guy's family line. Because he immediately gets in his vehicle and leaves. There was some words exchanged among them, but I didn't hear what was said.
Anywho, our PSG catches up with us in the line into the DFAC and says, "You two need to fucking clean your uniforms and take a shower, and you PFC VF, you need to get new bottoms; can't let these Expletive Deleted see your dick."

Instead of actually being fair and impartial, instead of having integrity and some sense of honor and self-respect, these two are suggesting that black people should lie to prevent other black people from being convicted of crimes, apparently regardless of guilt.
Jun 12
The hosts of The Gin & Juice Podcast Melissa (Lis) Fredericks and Melanie (Mel) Goolsby yesterday publicly suggested/coached their black viewers to commit fraud/perjury (state dependent...) in order to to get on a jury in case of black defendants.
Left chart: According to multiple studies [specifically Mitchell et al. (2005) here], Black & Minority (BME) jurors vote guilty at a rate of 73% for white defendants versus 39% from white jurors, and at a rate of 24% for fellow BME defendants versus 32% from white jurors.
Right chart: Blue (white jurors): Near 50% in both categories. Essentially neutral/fair treatment of defendants regardless of race.
Red (black jurors): Substantially higher bias. 62% for verdicts and 70% for sentencing, indicating strong favoritism/bias toward black defendants.
"Damn near half of the black people who could have been on the jury canceled themselves out.
Don't do that. When you go up there, say, 'No, I have never heard about this case. I can be fair.'
Say that. Okay? And then mean it. Believe it a little."
Select jurors accordingly...

"Black people are like dangerous wild animals. "
-Hotep Moron
Hotep Jesus tells Viva Frei what the REAL lesson is from the Karmelo Anthony case.
Black people have certain policies that Austin Metcalf violated.
Viva can be ok with white people being weak, but black people are violent and HJ makes no apologies for that.
"We need to teach our children to keep their hands to themselves."

The graphic is why I'm considering moving and partly why I've been so stressed out lately.
It's becoming increasingly difficult to justify staying here, and it's not just about the money.
Local library- everything is gay
Local grocery store- everything is gay
Several local restaurants- everything is gay
I love my community, my church, and my home, but don't want my kids continually bombarded with rainbow propaganda.
I also want my kids to be able to leave home someday and start a family of their own. Something that may become nearly impossible for my kids, my son especially.
Blue states are incredibly hard on young men.
Portland is trapped between two structural forces.
First, the Oregon Public Employees Retirement System (PERS) carries a $29.4 billion unfunded liability, roughly equal to the state’s entire biennial General Fund. The system lost $8 billion in 2022, and employer contribution rates continue to rise because the state constitution protects existing benefits.
Salem now pays $11 million more annually for pensions than it did just years ago. Gladstone School District’s PERS costs rose from 3% to 19% of payroll. Statewide, school districts face a $670 million increase in pension obligations in the 2025–27 biennium. These payments take priority in every budget, automatically crowding out other services. This is austerity on autopilot.
Second, Oregon’s property tax system caps assessment growth at 3% annually and limits total taxes as a share of market value.
When market values collapse—as they have downtown—taxes must fall.

The COP and MOUT City will be staffed by Generals and Field Grade Officers that failed their troops and their nation during the war. And also any NCOs that kicked troops who just returned from patrol out of the chow hall.

Stop looking for reason or common ground.
You'll find none.

🚨This black guy is the perfect example of why Karmelo Anthony is going to prison for the murder of Austin Metcalf.
He is so quick to become violent because his brain can’t comprehend the notion of civilized debate.
People with knowledge don’t need to resort to violence because their ideas are enough to win an argument.
If I were this young man’s father I would sit him down and try to talk some sense into him before his attitude got him killed, but chances are he doesn’t have a father.
Another symptom of Democrat policies.

Maybe something like this @TheBuddyCSM ?

I like this idea. Add some HESCO barriers with a statue like the Vietnam Memorial on top, as @TheBuddyCSM suggested.
Maybe 3 soldiers relaxing in their kitchen on top of the HESCO.
Like the just got back from a mission and are enjoying some time smokin and jokin
