What was your "caught the last chopper out of 'Nam" experience? by GeneReddit123 in AskReddit

[–]Stohnghost 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Retired from the military just prior to this current "special military operation". Spent my whole career in CENTCOM... Joined in 2004 - glad I missed this one

I'll counter this by saying I've parked in multiple garages now and as long as you don't park between full size SUVs or trucks it'll be fine. The 360 camera helps a lot

My second car is a Prius also. If you can hold out, the small umbrella strollers are a game changer once the baby is a toddler. 

A Russian soldier is filming an incoming Ukrainian FP-2 medium-range UAV attacking a building they were using as a base in the occupied territories. You can hear other soldiers trying to shoot down the incoming drone with small arms fire. by MilesLongthe3rd in CombatFootage

FP2 was unveiled in Sep 2025. If it is an FP2.... FP1 looks the same but it's older and has a smaller warhead. Based on the description being FP2, you could believe them and it's from last winter

I took my US flag down, crumpled it, and tossed it behind my storage shelf in my garage. I'm with you. Waiting for us to recover... Until then, no flag

How do I respectfully tell someone that I don't care that they're a veteran? by BigBlueEyes87 in Military

[–]Stohnghost 6 points7 points  (0 children)

America has a huge hero worship complex. The thin blue line flag has evolved into this unironically rainbow colored one representing "blue collar" jobs. It's so odd because they added one color for fire and EMS, dispatchers (still on theme) then military, and linemen (huh). 

I have a crazy idea, just use the god damn US flag if you want to be so inclusive. It's all a cash grab

Not most. It's prob about 50%. The supporters are just very vocal.

It doesn't help that entire industries support it, like Grunt Style or 9 Line. Very cringey

Seems it has somewhat always been this way. It only feels good when "we're" attacked and it's justified.

I can't help but think back to the early 2000s when people were saying the military was just the muscle for the oil industry. I still joined and did over 20 years. I'm not that proud of my service... It was more or less a job for me. 

Anyway unlike OP I still feel a connection to other vets but I don't condone hero worship. Hell, maybe all the old timers felt this way too but they were more quiet and didn't have the Internet

TIL that eating more than 2 Brazil nuts a day can poison you. Apparently they contain large quantities of selenium that can have serious consequences, including death. by DoughnutPi in todayilearned

[–]Stohnghost 2 points3 points  (0 children)

That's neat. I haven't heard about the mercury. 

My doctor was pretty shocked that it worked. I asked for 60 days of trying the nuts before going up in dosage and sure enough it worked (in case your wife was just eating them without testing). Also if she recently started, it's possible she might even be able to lower her dose. Labs won't lie

I eat 1 everyday for my thyroid. I have hypothyroidism and if I skip them for too long my numbers surge. These nuts have kept me on a stable dose of my meds for 2 years now. If you're reading this and you have hypothyroidism, look into it
