I hate it when people who know nothing about knights as a faction try to tell you an objective fact about them and such

Okay so me and my friend were talking to this girl and the subject of me being dense comes up. So we ask her about “hints”. Her “hints” are: - Looking you in the eyes - Smiling - Laughing at your jokes Come on

So many of you are going to get girlfriends that immediately break up with you once they see what you tweet. So so many of you.

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.

UCP* was peak GWOT. I miss Shock Coffee. Don't miss having 7 Deltas.

I have not yet read the full trial transcript. But so far, I do know this. Karmelo Anthony was entitled to a jury of his peers. He did not get that. On that ground alone, he is entitled to a new trial. Minorities are not interchangeable. The prosecutor’s reported proffered reasons for striking all black jurors —that they were teachers—appears to be pretext. Anthony needs a new lawyer on appeal and in a new trial. His trial lawyer allowed in opinion evidence that should have been struck. He also seemed unable to appreciate and counter the impact of racial overtones in that case. Those overtones are clear even on Twitter commentary as folks seek to paint Metcalf as having no culpability in what happened and Karmelo as a complete monster. The facts on how the matter escalated are more complicated than that. He and they had no such authority. They are also apparent in the statements that seek to deputize Metcalf and other kids with authority to remove Anthony. They had none and initiated the conflict. That does not mean they should have been killed but it means they have explaining to do. The lawyer for Anthony apparently did not require that explaining. It is fair to ask how the Anthony’s ended up selecting that lawyer. The trial judge must be disqualified in any new trial if he actually gave an interview about the case before the appeal was considered. He has negatively affected the appeal rights of the defendant. He should know better. He should also be disqualified if he has any relationship with the Metcalf side. In a criminal trial, the prosecution has the burden of proof beyond a reasonable doubt. The defendant does not have to prove he is not guilty. Those rules apply to everyone. They apply to Anthony.

Instead of discussing how Elon Musk is now the world's first trillionaire, we should talk about how he killed hundreds of thousands of people through his dismantling of food and medical aid to poor countries currentaffairs.org/news/how-…

He's a trillionaire who spends every day on this app trying to start a race war and incite riots. Imagine having all that money and still behaving like an incel living in his mum's basement.

If you’re in a good mood at work you’re going to burn in hell for eternity

I understand and mostly agree with your larger point, brother. But the GWOT was a prime example of a war happening “over there,” and not involving the whole nation. In terms of manpower, it was fought by an all-volunteer force, most of whom did multiple tours. They made up for troop shortfalls by excessively leaning on guard and reserve components, stop-lossing active guys at the end of their service, and recalling troops from the IRR. There was no draft hanging over the nation’s head. At no time was the average American threatened with being involuntary thrown into combat. The cost of the GWOT was borne by an exceedingly small percentage of the population, while the rest of the country continued on as if nothing changed.

If Karmelo is awarded a appeal I hope this rant can be used in the court of law

Can I shamelessly encourage you make another post about the official feedback survey? I hope I'm not imposing but I'm just a reply guy and all I can do is spam reply on other reply guys. The survey seems like an effective way of getting them to reconsider direction. surveymonkey.com/r/gwotmfini…

Natives need to bear firmly in mind that if the demographics of this nation wildly vary from the traditional white majority, it won't be some great development for us. It will be the opposite. We share a history with the whites, good and bad, but it's behind us now. The whites like and admire us, and as little as some of us want to admit it, they have helped us enormously. The newcomers don't give a damn about us. We have no history with Pakistanis or Afghans or whoever. They are coming to conquer, that's it. If we don't stand with the whites, we will fall together. It's that simple.

Today I tackle the question of why Pete Hegseth is so cringe-inducingly corny. theatlantic.com/ideas/2026/0…
