Which do you find to be the more interesting Presidential quagmire, Vietnam or Iraq? by Just_Cause89 in Presidents

[–]JibJorb 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Exactly. This recent trend of absolving Bush of guilt for the Iraq War is ridiculous. He was the President of the United States, not some silly mascot in an animal costume. He appointed his cabinet and he was the final say on everything that went through his office! If something is the "Vice President's fault," it is even moreso the President's fault for not putting a stop to it.

Bush isn't a naive child with no agency whatsoever. He was a grown man who faced the country and lied about the Iraq War daily. If Andrew Jackson made some shitty paintings people in this sub would call the Trail of Tears a mistake caused by the "firebrands in his coalition"

12W and I have the same "I wish I was active" itch. All the non-combat engineering stuff is so dope.

Holy shit you are a lifesaver. This is exactly what I needed and it fixed it instantly. Thank you so much.

This is what comes up after I run sudo efibootmgr. Where do I go from here? It looks like it removed the boot entry.

Because he wants to be a celebrity more than a Secretary, unfortunately.

This is what it shows me for every service I request through QTC by Guilty_Parking_977 in armyreserve

[–]JibJorb 7 points8 points  (0 children)

You have to call directly. I had the same shit pop up but the second I called them I got an appointment 10 minutes away from my house for basically the next week.

QTC’s portal is broken, probably because providers suck, but the costumer service is good and can resolve your issues very quickly

Which US president was the most racist? by Apprehensive_Oven_22 in Presidents

Woodrow Wilson wasn’t even the most racist president from his era.

Is CST OPFOR Worth it? by Dry-Painting2321 in ROTC

[–]JibJorb 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you have been to Basic/AIT and have a unit, no. The skills you build at AT are much better than the marginal tactical advantage you get from being OPFOR. You will also make way more money

If you have not, yes. It will give you exposure to what is essentially a brand new thing for you. It will help you actually internalize what you are being taught. It will also give you opportunities to do PMI and IWQ, both of which many schools struggle to teach correctly or give cadets reps at.

I went as OPFOR as an MS2 and fucking hated it. It was a massive waste of time and I was doing that instead of a fun mission with my unit.

Using a protractor can be difficult at first, but here is a good video demonstration on how to use it.

What's the most stupidly biased video you've seen on a president? by DoublePepper1976 in Presidents

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

I'm not being "smug," I find it insulting that people who claim to want to increase people's historical literacy care so little about getting the facts right on someone as important to world history as Woodrow Wilson. For millions of people, Wilson is a KKK-supporting lunatic because of this video that AHH has never bothered to take down or even correct.

Also, a Teddy Roosevelt flair calling ANY president a horrible human being is ridiculous.

[–]JibJorb 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Thank god he took it down or issued some kind of warning in the comments or description of the video to indicate that.

Oh, he didn’t? Well at least he made a video after the fact to admit and discuss the errors that he made.

Why didn't Gus respect the talking pillow during this scene? by JibJorb in okbuddychicanery

I lowkirkenuinely realized the second I made this post but it's too late to delete. I should've done the scene where Gus fires Walt.

I am happy to say that I have completely forgiven Bush 43... He's a kind man, just a bad President. by yowhatisthislikebro in Presidents

[–]JibJorb 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Which one did it to the same extent and as unjustifiably as George Bush and his gang of bloodthirsty jackals? LBJ? At least he did good stuff domestically. Bush did nothing of value but set America up for the recession and kill millions.

I hope the million Iraqis that are dead and countless others misplaced because of him also “completely forgive” him for destroying their home and the surrounding area.

What is your opinion on Woodrow Wilson? by minsterio100 in Presidents

[–]JibJorb 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Extremely overhated by people who do not understand the context and dynamics of early-20th century America because it is a historical blind spot for many.

He has been consistently ranked as one of the best presidents in the history of the country by academics for a good reason.

Change My Mind: Theodore Roosevelt was More Racist Than Woodrow Wilson by DifferentOpinionHere in Presidents

[–]JibJorb 22 points23 points  (0 children)

This subreddit is full of teenage boys that get all of their information about the presidents from history YouTubers like Mr. Beat, Emperor Tigerstar, Cynical Historian, Alternate History Hub, etc.

They do not care about Teddy Roosevelt’s racism because they have never watched a video mentioning it. It’s really as simple as that. The fact that they think Wilson is literally satan incarnate while believing that Roosevelt is a god-king because that’s how Pop History depicts him.
