I know that’s what I’d have done.

What Trump wanted far exceeds marching in step. But even just that requires regular practice, which the US military simply does not bother with. Exceptions being a few ceremonial guards.

I know this from experience. Perfect formation marching must be drilled constantly. The US military does not waste its time with it because it is useless beyond Basic Training.

The American military doesn’t train to put on parade theatre for a despot. No high stepping, no elaborate formations or movements. None of that pointless bullshit. If you see a military parade from NK or China achieving dazzling perfect performances, while impressive, that’s all it is; a visual performance. All they do is practice for those events. Those are not uniforms. They’re costumes. Those are not soldiers. They’re a dance troupe. These are completely different skillsets. Soldiers don’t need to know how to dance perfectly in formation. They storm the objective, execute the mission, and get the fuck out. You might as well send a marching band into combat, because that’s all they would become.

It’s funny how they want to force the US military into performing flamboyant pageantry, while also kicking out the gays.

I moved out to the middle of nowhere for work. The sky is amazing at night, so I don’t run visible lights outside. It’s dark as hell. I picked up a set of night vision. Pricey but worth it.

They were mostly 18 and recruited from high school. The military propaganda mill is intense. No, they didn’t.

They’re welcome to come defend the American people from the criminal gangs known as the police and ICE.

There is so much more to care about right now than desperately trying to convince a troll of anything. You’re below the bottom of the list.

There’s no helping the intentionally helpless.

In literally every legal way possible, and every illegal way they can get away with until a government cracks down on them.

You are the product and you will pay.

They have sonic weapons. They run over people with horses and armored vehicles.

Gotta clean and sterilize them.

Green lasers. Everybody should have one.

Plenty of kids in need of adoption.

There was definitely a time when nobody pretended their favorite stick was a gun.

As a bearded white man who works blue collar with other men, I have trust issues with men.

I have people who love me.

Do not fuck with 24 hour restaurant staff.

Emphasis on take.
