Just got my mail in ballot for a state I haven't been a resident/legal voter in for over 10 years. Only have contacted the SoS office about this 5 times. Yep, mail in ballot system, totally legit!

I take all of this with a massive grain of salt. First of all, hypersonic capable missiles and aircraft have been around since the beginning of the space race, so we should clarify terms. Maneuvering hypersonic weapons that don't follow a ballistic trajectory is what we're really talking about. And even those aren't turning out to be the silver bullet everyone thought they were. Russias claimed "hypersonics" are basically just air launched ballistic missiles that are easy to, and have been intercepted. China's hypersonics, while a more compelling design, are very shiny but entirely unproven. Like most of the rest of their military. How many foxbat-esque supposed world beating weapon systems have to be exposed as dogshit before we start to understand that corrupt communist dictatorships massively inflate their military capes? Im not saying we should discount these threats, but perhaps the reason we're "behind" on paper is because we're trying to build something that's actually effective rather than a PR stunt.

It’s horrifying yet it keeps happening. Nuke tests in the ‘50s Agent Orange Depleted Uranium Burn Pits Artillery that causes CTE I’m sure I missed some. It’s maddening. Sent from my iPhone using Baseops Network Forums

Or, I know this is crazy, not every single thing has to be some giant strategic indictment of the American system designed to make you miserable or cream in your Ron Paul boxers. I just like the guy because I bitched to him (my rep) about the FAA and he handled it. Which was nice.

Well?? Inquiring minds want to know!

One tenet helps me dive into issues like this that are so baffling (not saying you're confused). Namely, that there is no such thing as a contradiction in nature. If something like this doesn't fit (which it clearly does not), it's because we misunderstand something. That "thing" as far as I can tell, is that the left is simply trying to upset the current power dynamic in the world. Whatever their reason - which I don't claim to know - it's the reason for this chaos. It's a tactic in order to create space to allow a different world view, philosophy, or power structure to arise.

Like i said, agree to disagree. My wife and I are heavily involved in the local public middle and high schools. No woke. No pronouns. No gender ideology. No book banning. No LGBTQ shaming. Top tier academics. Top tier extra-curriculars. Tight integration with the local community, churchs, and public service volunteer organizations. I'm fully aware how unique it is, but it does exist. Bearing in mind that I assume a normal low level of all that stuff that has always, and will always be at the fringes of every society. Just because one kid claims to be LGBTQ doesn't mean it's a main stream in the school. I knew gay guys and girls in my high school growing up. It's normal and not the center of mass. The more people I meet from around the country, the more I'm realizing that the doom-and-gloom-nay-sayers on all sides of every aisle are usually the ones with low real awareness outside of their own community, and form their opinions of what's "happening in America" based on CNN, Fox, OAN, MSNBC or some other outlet that thrives on fear mongering. Reality: There are many local communities in America that are perfectly healthy and not saturated with either wokeism or anti-wokeism. They aren't in major cities. You don't hear about them because they don't make noise. Just because you don't hear about them doesn't mean they don't exist.

BLM, Palestine/anti-Jew, etc. protestors - they are all people without a shred of individual thought and amount to nothing more than useful idiots for anti-American causes. I’ll hold my breath waiting for any of these jackasses going to jail.

Do these "lib" demonstrators understand that abortion is a lib thing. What about women's rights? They seem to not care about those anymore, especially in Palestine. Try being gay or trans in Palestine. That is definitely not "cool" overthere. Fuck, draw a picture of Muhammad. You will be killed. A fucking picture. Art will get you killed. Freedom of speech is very limited as well. It makes no sense to support Hamas as a lib. None. Democrat and Republican are just words. Teams that people pick because they can't think for themselves. The words Democrat and Republican dont mean shit anymore. "I just wanna get mad at someone too, so I support Hamas." - American Hamas supporters also known as retards.

Right up until they started defending themselves, roughly.

Or even Army, apparently.

Very confused AD crewdog here.. regardless of what union I eventually join, will I still get paid more and not have to write OPRs?

I mean, at least your bone nerds don't get convicted of B&E, brutally assaulting exes in the shower with a lead pipe after a multi-hour out of state drive with body disposal kit in the car; serve nine hard time, with another 40 pending on parole, then get hired by a blue LCC (for a short while anyways), like the buff nerds do. #fightclub
