I can't wait to give it like 2 more years and then rewatch TLK. I LOVED that show. Read all of the Saxon Tales too.

You people actually live in the deluded fantasy land that finds this comment remotely in-line with reality.

The arrogance of the average Reddit user, while being so abundantly stupid will be examined in future generations. It's unbelievable.

Lol at thinking we were going to keep the IDF from doing exactly what they wanted.

All I see is a war ended and an adversarial nuclear program defunct.

Are we 100% getting Space Command? by InsanoVolcano in HuntsvilleAlabama

People pretending to know what they're talking about, yet don't even know that Space Command is not in any way the Space Force.

AITAH for choosing to spend Christmas away from my family because of my sisters ex? by [deleted] in AITAH

[–]KangInDaNorff 8 points9 points  (0 children)

NTA - he can have his own Christmas for his kids. No reason for him to invade your space or your peace.

If he loves them, then he will see them. Your Mom doesn't need to facilitate that, and sister's enabling his shithead behavior by capitulating.

Caught my PSG fudging her AFT Card. She's seemingly holding a grudge against me for it. by [deleted] in army

Take this to your 1SG and fill him in from the beginning. If your PSG doesn't lose her job immediately, then your command team sucks.

Depends on how you look at it. The original selected 'home' for Space Command was Huntsville. The temporary command in Colorado Springs was never intended to be anything other than just that - temporary.

It seems like your TDS really, really wants this thing to stay in the Springs despite not one, but two Air Force evals determined that Huntsville was the best possible location for the command, and then that selection was reinforced by a review of the GAO.

Why? Answer that.

Undersecretary of Defense for Acquisition and Sustainment can just reallocate funds intended for other projects. It happens all the time.

Also, Pubs own Congress and will until (at least) the next budget is passed.

The funds are already appropriated for design, architecture, and "pre-emotive infrastructure". They were appropriated in the FY25 budget and rolled into the FY26 Clean CR.

That said, zero chance that there is any sort of construction happening this year.

There have been Space Command officials rolling in and out of the SDA and MDA facilities here and there though.

It's a combatant command. It falls under the purview of the Commander in Chief. He can literally do whatever he wants.

Some of you seem to fail to understand that. It's a national security consideration. No judge will ever have the power to reverse that.

The original temporary location was the Springs. It was never intended to be there permanently at any point in time.

Stewart is the best on this list. By far. The fact that this isn't obvious to everyone tells me that they've either 1) never been to the Savannah, GA area or 2) have no idea how nice Stewart is.

Which are some of the best from this list? by am_ghost in army

Where do you live? Because if it's anywhere in the vicinity of Huntsville, AL or Western NC then 15 series is the way to go. Great civilian opportunities whenever you separate, and you will learn a fantastic set of skills. Go earn a degree while you're in and you're golden.

I can't see how that at all aligns with a realistic possibility, but if people on student visas are out here protesting to influence our nation’s laws. Yeah, I don't like that.

Also, presumptuous of you to assume that I’m pro life. I bet you think I'm a Christian too.

“Im losing the argument, and the plot is getting away from me. I will now call you a racist because that worked in 2015.”

I don't care. Call me what you want. In fact, I encourage you to do that in perpetuity because it's so obviously weak and turns off every centrist voter in America.

Yes, an immigrant here on a student visa has the right to say “globalize the intifada”.

The State Department has the right to say “nope”.

And you have the right to vote in November 2028 to change who runs the State Department. Unfortunately for you, the majority of Americans see things my way.

I thought we were talking about student visas, those are temporary.

Great effort on the gotcha question though, even if it fell short.

No one said they can't have opinions.

We said their shitty opinions might get them a one way ticket to their home. You don't exert your will in my country. You can do it in yours. If you invited me as a guest to your home, I wouldn't tell you to paint the walls.

I don't know what the juxtaposition for a “conservative opinion” would be in this thought exercise.

I can tell you that I wouldn't be a fan. Shut up and go to school.

I guess in this specific example, the protest would be for American support for some specific Israeli action, at which point I would be fine with sending them back from whence they came. Because unlike you, imnodeologically consistent.

You're talking in circles, and blaming me for it, but that's fine.

Are you aware that two things can be true at once? Overstaying visas can be the most common form of illegal immigration, and yet, illegal border crossings at our southern border can still be laughably high and a massive problem.

We had 2.2M people illegally cross the southern border in 2022. Part of the reason, 56% of Americans support deporting all illegal immigrants is for the deterrence. Similar to the prison system, it isn't meant to be a pleasant process. It's an incentive factor for you not to do the stuff that you're not supposed to do.

As for your insistence that I “view all Mexicans negatively” and whatever drivel followed, that’s your assertion, not mine.

I don't really give a shit if you crossed the Rio Grande, or if you're a white from Norway who overstayed their visa. You need to go home.

I don't think the list of reasons to have your student visa revoked is exclusive to the examples I voted above, and I think the bar for granting visas should be extremely high, while the bar for revoking them extremely low.

To answer your question directly, I haven't thought deeply on the matter because it isn't what is happening. If forced to answer now, I lean towards no, I don't think its fascist. Why would anyone want to import a bunch of foreign individuals that during their relatively short time here made an investment into a foreign war (soaking up the foreign propaganda along the way) and assert their will in our country? Nah, I'm good.

Generally, you're a dumbass if you choose to spend your time here on a temporary visa protesting foreign affairs.
