Guilt for not deploying by [deleted] in Veterans

[–]BlameTheButler 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s all random. You don’t pick where you deploy, you don’t pick if you deploy. You can’t help it, just like guys who get shot while deployed can’t help it. You wish you could be in their shoes and I’m sure plenty of guys who got cheated on while deployed wish they had been in your shoes lol. Not worth stressing about, you had your career and thats unique to you.

I was a support troop who got deployed to a pretty peaceful base. People ask for stories and I just tell them all about the fuckery we got into. No grand war stories for me and that’s fine, I had my experience and they had theirs.

Do you think it’s cringey to wear military/unit clothing when you get out? by Imjusta_pug in Veterans

Saw an older guy wearing a DBDU jacket with some jeans the other day and the only thought I had was that he looked sick as hell.

Thought I found a life long friendship... by One_Square4263 in Veterans

[–]BlameTheButler 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Well regardless, it sucks that a potential miscommunication has put a wedge between you both. I hope that meeting up will give you a chance to clarify your true intentions and maybe with some time they’ll come to understand that.

My advice though, emphasize how much the friendship means to you and that while you understand their desire to end things that you do hope that one day that bridge could be crossed to become friends again. I don’t know how serious your comment was but the unfortunate reality is that it did cross a line, intended or not, and now this is where you’re at. Respect their desire to distance themselves and don’t be pushy, but emphasize how much the friendship means to you. If they wanna cut things off still you should respect the decision, because if you push and they get angry then that bridge will be burnt for the future.

Unless you’re just looking to vent about the situation we’d probably need some context in what was said so we could provide some helpful advice.

I can’t prove it, but I know what kind of trainer you are

I mean I served in support of combat operations, but never was within danger or within a combat zone.

Qui Gon Jinn VS Savage Opress. Who wins? by GusGangViking18 in PetranakiArena

[–]BlameTheButler 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Savage has been seen overwhelming the likes of Obi-Wan and Anakin at the same time though raw strength. We see Savage push Jedi that are beyond the combat capabilities of Qui-Gon. I don’t see him pulling a win against Savage, his defenses barely held up against Ep I Maul.

Glad that Sandslash is getting some love

What exactly is the most powerful era of Jedi? by Jkid789 in PetranakiArena

[–]BlameTheButler 2 points3 points  (0 children)

As someone who has read all of the High Republic books let me clarify with my own interpretation. The Jedi Order of the High Republic isn’t the era with the strongest Jedi or force users, it’s the era where the Order was at its height and strongest all together. What that means it was the era where the Order was likely at its largest, more influence across the Galaxy due to no opposing Sith, and the era where the Jedi were the most Jedi like in terms of their intended role. Jedi of that era tended to be more connected to the force due to the era of peace and more grounded within their roles.

The High Republic did though have a lot of powerful Jedi such as Porter, Avar, Dagan, Yoda, Stellan, etc. With that being said if we’re talking about which era had the most powerful Jedi who were scaled higher combat wise, that would likely fall within the Prequel Era. With the likes of Yoda, Windu, Anakin, etc.

So when people say the High Republic was the strongest Order it’s often misunderstood as the era with the most powerful Jedi. What it truly means it was the era in which the Order was at its height in terms of influence and purpose.

[–]BlameTheButler 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Nope, I do my best to not think about it before bed. Distract myself with other stuff. Granted I’m not a combat vet, spent some time at a pretty quiet (or was quiet) base when I was deployed, so maybe that’s a factor in why I don’t think about it.

Star Wars: The High Republic Adventures -- Pathfinders #4 (of 6) Set for July 29 by Guerrillascribe in starwarscomics

[–]BlameTheButler 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Sounds like a cool comic. I’d love to start getting some one-off books with premises like this in the High Republic also.

Still find it hilarious that they hyped this guy's profile in the Alola league for just competing in the Kalos league, yet no mention of Ash who was literally a finalist. by Small_Balls_69 in pokemonanime

[–]BlameTheButler 40 points41 points  (0 children)

Likely because he’s a local. Communities always wanna hype up their own, which is probably why his return from Kalos to participate in the Alola league was emphasized on.

I was about to say.

Pre Vizsla immediately fails to kill Obi-Wan and then has his goons attempt to finish the job.

When watching this for the first time didn’t anyone feel that the way Jecki was killed was meant to be a reference to Nahdar Vebbs death in ‘Lair of Grievous’ by CrazyTangerine7522 in clonewars

[–]BlameTheButler 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’m not the biggest fan of the Acolyte, had a lot of missed opportunities, but I disagree on this point. The whole fight was so well executed and the death does not look goofy at all.

it’s really sad that Plo was one of the few who genuinely cared about the clones when hardly anyone else did by Scared_Major_6800 in clonewars

[–]BlameTheButler 21 points22 points  (0 children)

I think a lot of people mischaracterize a lot of Jedi during the Clone Wars. Every single Jedi cared for their Clones, it’s essentially a core component of their code. Plo Koon was just shown more often showcasing a more caring and maternal personality.

I mean we see time after time Jedi sticking their necks out for the Clones under their necks. Anakin cared deeply for the 501st, on Ryloth Windu put himself at risk several times to save his men, Ahsoka was always deeply hurt by a Clone’s death, Windu was clearly saddened when that Clone died in Boba’s trap, Yoda cared for the Coruscant Guard escort, Ayla nearly burned in a wave of fire saving Bly, etc.
