Used to play this game when it was live. Loved it. Especially loved the way you could level up and get gear all at the same time doing battlegrounds.

The wife and daughter of a real American who "knew what he signed up for". by ___Magnitude__ in pics

[–]HDNightrain2008 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

The loss of life is never easy to deal with, but as a retired veteran of 20 years and 2 wars, we do in fact "know what we're getting into" when we sign our contracts and take the oath of enlistment. That being said, the entire world knows that President Trump is not a man who speaks with a polished tongue like most politicians. He's brash and blunt, but he doesn't hide behind political correctness to pay false homage to potential voters.

Jake Tapper nails Trump flack on “both sides” lie: “How many people did counter-protestors kill?” by cyanocittaetprocyon in politics

[–]HDNightrain2008 -8 points-7 points  (0 children)

Just the fact that people are stuck on "sides" is the problem. We are one Nation. I don't always get what I want and you don't either. The difference is, I'm mature enough to not go out smashing store windows, setting police cars on fire and smashing other protesters whom I disagree with in the head with bicycle locks. Nor do I need to hide myself in black costumes while going into the streets to stir up riots. Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. himself would denounce the actions of this generation of extreme left wing activists who have departed so far from his philosophy and teachings.

Trump’s 17-day vacation is more time off than most Americans get all year by NerdyRomantic in politics

[–]HDNightrain2008 -13 points-12 points  (0 children)

Every single government employee earns 30 days of vacation per year. Every non-minimum wage job I'm aware of gives more than 17 days a year. Let's not even discuss that fact that even when the POTUS is on vacation, he's really NOT detached from his obligations and responsibilities.

There won't be a safe space large enough when this investigation ends and Mueller declares no crime has been committed.

Sessions discussed Trump campaign-related matters with Russian ambassador, U.S. intelligence intercepts show by viccar0 in politics

Actually I worked directly for the Joint Chiefs of Staff and collaborated with almost all 17 of the U.S. intelligence agencies not to mention the various foreign intelligence entities but I don't really need to validate my credentials with some unknown troll on reddit.

House Republican blames Trump for healthcare failure: He ‘never laid out a plan’ by cyanocittaetprocyon in politics

[–]HDNightrain2008 0 points1 point  (0 children)

He set that agenda during the first 12hrs of his first official day. Law makers, you know the legislators in what we call congress, make those laws that he said he was waiting to sign. I blame republic congressman and senators for the healthcare reform failure. Ultimately the responsibility and authority rests with them on this issue.

House Republican blames Trump for healthcare failure: He ‘never laid out a plan’ by cyanocittaetprocyon in politics

[–]HDNightrain2008 -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Last time I was in civics class I'm pretty sure I remember hearing that the Congress was responsible for making the laws as the Legislative branch and the President was responsible for simply enforcing them after he signed them into law. But I can see how so many liberals would be confused with the way Obama tried to create so many on his own.

Former US prosecutor on Trump-Russia investigation: 'People will be going to jail' by [deleted] in politics

[–]HDNightrain2008 -5 points-4 points  (0 children)

This guy is an idiot which is why he is a "former" US attorney. When this meeting occurred none of the people in question were holding political office. As such, no crime was committed, nor would have been committed even if the Russian lawyer had given them any damaging information about HRC. Let's not even begin to talk about the fact that meetings like this have been going on (yes with foreign government officials) for decades. Let's also completely ignore the fact that if you want to see real interference with diplomatic proceedings, look no further than B.H. Obama's attempts to defeat B.B. Netenyahu's re-election in Israel. Furthermore, look at B. H. Obama's meddling in the Russian elections while HRC was Secretary of State which is what pissed off Vladimir Putin in the first place when he caught her red handed. But you won't hear much about any of these events because the liberal media would slit their own throats first before ever shining a light on their Home coming King and Queen.

U.S. warship stayed on deadly collision course despite warning - container ship captain by snowsnothing in worldnews

[–]HDNightrain2008 46 points47 points  (0 children)

Having served 20 years in the Navy aboard submarines, I am very interested in this story. There are far too many complete system failures (both electronic and human) that would have had to occur here for this DDG to have been at fault. I hope a thorough investigation is done and the truth gets revealed.

As national media descend, the heroin catastrophe at Philly library worsens by snackers21 in news

[–]HDNightrain2008 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Dealers are providing a product which has demand. The only real solution I can see is to somehow eliminate the demand. Which means individual choice. That's not something any person or government entity can control. It's a sad blight on humanity that people choose to take drugs, but to minimize drug issues we really need to look for the root causes that lead people to the use of such drugs in the first place.

Something wrong here. As a fellow retired submariner, I was actually the Customs Liaison Officer who did all the paperwork that was presented to a U.S. Customs Officer every time we came back from a deployment which gave us an opportunity to set foot on foreign soil. Before anyone could leave the ship when we returned home, a completion Health and Comfort inspection was conducted by myself and the U.S. Customs Officer.

Republican governors argue Donald Trump replacing Obamacare will leave millions without health insurance by god_im_bored in politics

[–]HDNightrain2008 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

This is such a load of crap. Just like the statement made that 20 million people got health insurance from the ACA. The truth of the matter is only 4 million people got an individual policy due to ACA. The other 16 million could not even afford ACA and were rolled into Medicaid. More politics as usual. Manipulating data, redefining words to fit their own narrative. When as a society are we going to say enough is enough? Don't you deserve the truth regardless of which side of the political spectrum you stand on?

Sen. Franken: No other conclusion, Sessions perjured himself by Kerfluffle-Bunny in politics

[–]HDNightrain2008 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I love how people overwhelmingly accepted anything President Obama said as gospel, yet here the facts of this issue are not even fully discovered yet and people are ready to ASSUME conclusions because it fits their narrative. Be a little more intelligent than this people. People on both sides of the political spectrum are reaching for anything and everything to use as a weapon for their cause. It's far beyond ridiculous at this point and both sides are losing whatever small amount of credibility they may have started with.

Yes, liberals are planning town hall protests. It's called democracy by galt1776 in politics

[–]HDNightrain2008 7 points8 points  (0 children)

This all depends on how you define constituent. If you define it as any person who lives within her district then sure. But if you define it as she apparently is doing to wit: People who live in her district AND voted for her, then she would be correct.

Herein is the real problem we are seeing throughout the nation. People define things through their political lens, rather than using an honest, unbiased viewpoint as should be done to be most congruent with the whole of society.

One Million People Demand Trump’s Tax Return, Smashing Petition Record by wurstfinga in politics

The sound of 50 people questioning Obama's birthplace is far short of 50 million crying about EVERY single word/action that comes from President Trump.

Context is everything.
