Welcome to c/news! Please read the Hexbear Code of Conduct and remember... we're all comrades here.
Rules:
-- PLEASE KEEP POST TITLES INFORMATIVE --
-- Overly editorialized titles, particularly if they link to opinion pieces, may get your post removed. --
-- All posts must include a link to their source. Screenshots are fine IF you include the link in the post body. --
-- If you are citing a twitter post as news please include not just the twitter.com in your links but also nitter.net (or another Nitter instance). There is also a Firefox extension that can redirect Twitter links to a Nitter instance: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/libredirect/ or archive them as you would any other reactionary source using e.g. https://archive.today . Twitter screenshots still need to be sourced or they will be removed --
-- Mass tagging comm moderators across multiple posts like a broken markov chain bot will result in a comm ban--
-- Repeated consecutive posting of reactionary sources, fake news, misleading / outdated news, false alarms over ghoul deaths, and/or shitposts will result in a comm ban.--
-- Neglecting to use content warnings or NSFW when dealing with disturbing content will be removed until in compliance. Users who are consecutively reported due to failing to use content warnings or NSFW tags when commenting on or posting disturbing content will result in the user being banned. --
-- Using April 1st as an excuse to post fake headlines, like the resurrection of Kissinger while he is still fortunately dead, will result in the poster being thrown in the gamer gulag and be sentenced to play and beat trashy mobile games like 'Raid: Shadow Legends' in order to be rehabilitated back into general society. --
The US department of energy has its own paramilitary force that guards nuclear sites. Despite wearing camo, having a military commander, and considered so called “elite,” they’re just contractors from a private agency - not even self employed.
Don’t you feel safe that the most militaristic, bloodthirsty nation on earth hires mall cops to guard nukes? It’s even more weird than guys who protect spy bases or Area 51 because they usually wear the company’s provided uniforms but the FPF wear camp like soldiers lol.
I still have it my head that 99% of the land based ICMB arsenal is 100% incapable of launching and I refuse to be corrected.
So, overpaying Paul Blarts to watch the fences around the silos while the military nuke techs sit in their holes playing video games and watching cartoons actually makes me feel pretty comfortable.
I'm sure this is a typo and you mean to say "camo" but soldiers on guard duty in drag queen getup makes me smile.
