You are presuming they are doing that to stave off economic decline, which is incorrect. They’re doing it for global prestige.


Ahh. But that was for Germans. Just following orders is a valid excuse for Americans, as the war crimes trials during the vietnam spanking made clear.


Just untrue. Saudi has massive deposits of rare earth metals, copper, gold. They’ll be fine.
Locked in the animation cupboard.


It takes a certain type of violent stupid to work in the military. Don’t hold out hope that any of those bitches have the power of reason.


Of course they condone the behaviour. This is shit they do too.


You paid him a complement there. “Distinguished service record” is just a murder high score.


I hope that people adequately thank these psychopaths for their service. All Soldiers Are Psychopaths.


Not saying this is OP, but there is a shockingly low level of dramatic literacy among people now. It’s like they’re not paying attention any more and have zero ability to parse subtext.


Sure, if you’re talking about insurance salespeople or stockbrokers. But in the creative field, things are a little deeper.

Yup. Equality is unhelpful in the real world past a certain point. It’s better to think of equitability instead. Colour blind people can become pilots, but their rating is limited according to the extent of their condition, such as being banned from night flying, or not being given a commercial licence. So they have equality in being allowed to train and to take the medical assessment, and equitability in being treated differently due to their specific circumstances rather than in general terms.
As there are already restrictions on who can be president, it’s not too much to ask that they also be of sound mind. The equitable (indeed only sane) thing would be for anyone with dementia to be immediately removed from the military chain of command.


Duck tape is named because it was originally made using cotton duck, which is the finer grade of canvas. Today it is made using scrim and plastic backing, while gaffer tape is closer to the original duck tape.
In the mid 20th century people started referring to it as duct tape as they mistakenly believed that as it was starting to be marketed for that use (including new silver variants to blend in with aluminium fittings), it must be properly named “duct tape”.


Duct tape is just a more modern name for duck tape.
