Wait till you see the school system, or the prison system
, right?
This reminds me how "military-grade" tends to indicate the lowest possible quality
iirc military grade was more meant for being able to be used in the extreme ends of temperatures (e. g blazing desert and frozen tundra) which many typical devices would fail to work in. it later devolved into a marketing term that doesnt really mean anything.
With regards to electronic components, it had to do with tight tolerances (at one time), EMP shielding, and wide temperature operating range.
Military grade boots just means it’ll permanently fuck up your feet in four years tho
It's so funny how much abuse boots take but they never frag their COs over it.
They are truly housebroken, it's easier to just keep your mouth shut until your discharge
And even after you’re discharged, you don’t disrespect the military or the country it protects. You just complain about “politicians” and “businessmen,” which is fair, but it’s the same logic as bad apples.
If you think our barracks or on post housing are bad, wait until you see the inside of Ft. Leavenworth.
Also, kill the CO's all you want, there's literally an army full of LT's waiting for their chance to get an extra shiny bar and sit in the big chair.
Military prison is terrifying
It’s especially funny when they become veterans and complain about “the government” mistreating their soldiers. Never criticizes the officers or generals, and never criticize the military as an institution. It’s just politics that’s sending our boys to die and letting them drink rusty water and hazed.
I think it's the difference between being drafted into a fucked conflict versus signing up willingly (which means you likely get a variety of very weird as Hell personality types), that and also indoctrination happens big time on bases with boots told to "tough it up"
It's almost like the trillion a year we spend is going somewhere else
much the same way as privatized healthcare is working out
I'm crying. Guys, we must spend a few more trillion on the troops. We simply must.
How are these guys the head of an empire
They are the feet?
critical support to comrade black mold
Jesus christ we really do have an emoji for everything...
It is almost as if the empire doesn't give a shit about their pawns.
Critical support once again to our comrade mold
Fuck I immediately scroll down and someone has made this joke already
Oh, that's not a cup of coffee
When scrolling I thought this post was from a coffee community I'm subbed to before I read the title.
it's literally their job to keep the barracks clean what the fuck are these boots complaining about
Didn’t know we had a Sergeant Major here lol
they should drone strike the mold
Hahaha skill issue
The Rowling curse has struck the US military
Millions must die
Brown water? 
You mean coffee? /s
How awful! They deserve worse!
Lol, probably the least of their worries, virmin, terrible (likely carcinogenic) water, and mold are all standard in barracks.
While I was on my second deployment, we got word that our barracks were finally being renovated. Primarily to remove the asbestos...
We were also fed a line that the rooms would have increased square footage which would allow more senior enlisted to have less or even no roommates. This was a concrete building with a fixed number of rooms... At a barracks that was already at max capacity. Somehow they thought that more space in the rooms would make that math work out. 🤷♀️
Anyway, when we got back they actually recessed the doors into the rooms, decreasing the square footage of all the rooms. Yeah...
Is this a new round of these, or connected to the stories released a year or so ago.
Oh no, the baby killers are uncomfortable
Poison those troops 👏

Welcome to c/news! We aim to foster a book-club type environment for discussion and critical analysis of the news. Our policy objectives are:
-
To learn about and discuss meaningful news, analysis and perspectives from around the world, with a focus on news outside the Anglosphere and beyond what is normally seen in corporate media (e.g. anti-imperialist, anti-Zionist, Marxist, Indigenous, LGBTQ, people of colour).
-
To encourage community members to contribute commentary and for others to thoughtfully engage with this material.
-
To support healthy and good faith discussion as comrades, sharpening our analytical skills and helping one another better understand geopolitics.
We ask community members to appreciate the uncertainty inherent in critical analysis of current events, the need to constantly learn, and take part in the community with humility. None of us are the One True Leftist, not even you, the reader.
