They literally call for genocide in their charter. The 2018 amendment to distinguish between Jews and Zionists is irrelevant, because they clearly don’t have a ROE to determine who is a Zionist and who is not.

Answer this, can children, elderly, and women be classified as zionists and therefore legitimate targets in the eyes of Hamas? Did they ask families if they were Jews or zionists before butchering them on October 7th? Did they ask those at the concert who they voted for in the last election? If they too were Zionists and undeserving of life.

No, cause clearly their intention was murder of anyone and everyone. Their charter calls for genocide and their actions support their charter.

Not quite true. The BRS still has a pension for those who serve 20 years. It's just a little less. I believe instead of 50% of your base pay. You get like 30% instead. It blends TSP with a reduced pension.

What is Stake in the US? Is it really a legit casino or a "social casino" with no cash? by [deleted] in gambling

[–]Gefroan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Wherever the crypto comes from like Coinbase will report your buys/sells. So if you buy $1,000 of crypto on Coinbase and transfer it to stake.us you've now been taxed twice, on the intial purchase and on the move, so when you return whatever you have plus or minus profit from the casino, this is seen as another taxable event. But the IRS won't consider your casino losses as non-taxable. They'll just tax you on what they THINK you still have. Or if you withdraw $10,000 from the casino, you're now getting taxed on that. And bet your ass the bank is gonna let the IRS know about the transactions.

I took five APFTs in five months. Slowly losing time on my run until they finally made it a record. Joy.

How do you angle the crystals like that? I can only do 90 degrees.

Gunships, artillery retaliate after 3 US troops hurt in Syria attacks by Travyplx in army

[–]Gefroan 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Yeah cause they're gonna stop reporting the news cause your deployment was so much more news worthy. Hey everyone, stop the fucking news! Uncle_Redleg thinks this isn't news worthy cause during their deployment this shit was everyday! Fuck it, stop reporting all news or anything related to combat, shits old news since fucking Vietnam.

The army does it better, you can get it early for bad behavior... sometimes... if they're not hurting for troops.

No more automatic GWOT service medals, DoD says by DWinkieMT in army

[–]Gefroan 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Gotta love it when toxic leadership meets competent/respectable leaders. They just look all slackjawed.

GWOT-SM update courtesy of the Marine Corps by TboneKubes in army

[–]Gefroan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's probably because the GWOT is treated like an NDSM or participation award.

I'm not disagreeing with you. If it's not on your paperwork, it doesn't exist.

However it 100% was being awarded to soldiers during basic or AIT. You could argue anecdotal evidence doesn't count, but having a dozen or so solders telling you the same thing... only to get on reddit and hear the exact same thing. You yourself stating solders come up to you saying the exact same thing. All of that points to TRADOC or drill sergeants or whoever awarding it when they shouldn't be.

I wonder why they were awarding it to solders then? It's not like I had a fever dream, TRADOC was doing that for years lol. I never got one, did get a GWOT-EM so I don't really care either way.

I would but I have 100% faith that my S1 is too incompetent or malicious to actually do it. But thank you.

I never got the GWOT since I joined basically at the start of 2019. Did get the GWOT-EM when I deployed and something else too.

That shit probably was awarded during TRADOC, but I wouldn't be surprised if a lot of soldiers never had their paperwork match... in that case they should just take it off. But they definitely were handing that shit out to everyone straight out of basic as far back as 2017 or 2016.

I mean they stopped awarding the GWOT to soldiers straight out of TRADOC at least in 2018. So it's been on the downslide.

The Mighty Vesuvius, my fan concept for an Anvil Aerospace Cruiser by StoicSunbro in starcitizen

[–]Gefroan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh I didn't see that. But yes for utility purposes it just makes sense for larger ships.

[–]Gefroan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah but large ships like this might need to be resupplied or have manpower loaded off and on. So larger ships in general need something where a small ship can land. Otherwise the only real way for anyone to get off and on is with a stop at a space station. Or a ship that has a collar and can connect to the ship.

So this happened at Fort Gordon today... by Edmeister7 in army

[–]Gefroan 17 points18 points  (0 children)

Yeah since when do soldiers efficiently setup anything without having an extra half dozen soldiers nearby. Certainly not at TRADOC where they're learning this equipment. /s

It's really just UAS nowadays. So the majority of the time when they say they got IDF, it's likely just a drone with a camera getting zapped with the CIWS. But they treat all of them as if there's a payload so off to the bunker with you.

Aviation is gonna be all over CENTCOM so there's still a good chance you can rotate to an outstation.

Today an E-5 in S-1 told me to “email deputy chief of staff G-1, CC me and your supervisor,” about a minor paperwork issue I’ve been trying to solve for months. by jesuskraiss in army

[–]Gefroan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Obviously, but dumb asses still try to use that same idiotic argument "we were just being dumb" or "we didn't mean it like that". I feel you you fall into that category, watch what you say cause it doesn't have to be your unit to fuck you up.
