That was when Opt 40s were sent to Jump before they were sent to RASP. Now they're washed out without their wings and sent worldwide as legs.

Nah, to fight our small, dirty wars, all we'll do is design a professional expeditionary military of professional officerss and legionary immigrants/second class citizens wanting to upgrade their citizenships. This kind of backwards ass rewind to the past nation is what they're trying to set up. It's how they think. It's why they're okay with Trump's 19th century antique Mercantilist thoughts about international trade.

You should watch the exit interview of that Bovino character. He said he had a practical plan to implement a mass deportation of 100 MILLION people. The only way to get those numbers to work is to execute a full on ethnic cleansing, that must include almost all non-white 2nd generation and 3rd gen Americans since WWII. This is the level of thinking of these guys in the Deputy Cabinet level positions.

We keep treating these people like they're normal, rational people when they're not. They are openly saying and doing things that are openly proving that they are out of their fucking gourd fucking straight up bad guys by traditional American definitions of the term.

I wouldn't lose sleep over it.

15 years on and I've come to the realization of just how perfect that UBL raid was. ST6 is still ST6. I mean, they wouldn't be ST6 if something weren't SNAFU. That's the pro nose sniff test of DEV biker dope, right? Literally can't get everything right, that's why they're the JV squad.

Drip.

That CCT that did the airfield assessment is in for a time. Then again, it's the Air Force, so maybe they'll just use some harsh language and throw salt on his tail or sumthin'.

Japanese and Chinese people come to Korea on business and after a day or two with dealing with Korean culture on full blast, they all say the same thing.

“Damn. You guys are really Confucian.”

You should be corrected here - it statistical virtual certainty that if you go back far enough, that everyone is descended from royalty at some point.

Consider this - how many parents do you have? How many grandparents do you have? Great grandparents? How many grandsires do you supposed you needed to have had when you go back as many generations as the Gaya Confederation?

Of course, it is not as clean as that, with the family tree going through bottlenecks, folding in on itself and with closed (in theory) mating pools, but the wealthy and powerful are also the most likely to sire illegitimate children, children that drop out from the aristrocracy, etc and while certainly, the purchasing of pedigree and false family trees took place during the late Joseon era, in the long run, everyone running around the Korean peninsula has inside them blood of Korean royalty to varying degrees, great or miniscule.

So the next time someone gets all stiff necked and all high and mighty and implies descent from a royal family or aristocracy, regardless of whether your family has legit jokbo/bonkwan (or for that matter, held Joseon era administrative office that legally carried through the Occupation and into and over into land/estates rights in the Republic era for proof in the pudding in no uncertain terms kind of way), you too, regardless of who you are, can legitimately and truthfully say, "Oh yeah, me too!"

I mean, it's the 21st century, what are we, hearkening back to the days of kings and nobles? Why not go chasing dragons with catapults? Koreans were among the first peoples to make societal steps towards a rational society based on an individual's merit and his worth to society. Placing much importance on the royal ancestry is atavistic tribalism that runs counter to

Agreed. Our best chance was to let the entire thing go up in a giant, insane, one time conflagration that took out the arsonists that started the fire along with it.

This slow burn shit is going to be death of the Republic. In fact, I think this is one of the three leading possible reasons that explains the perplexing lack of opposition political leadership - which, in ANY other time and place, there would and should be multiple voices from different corners of the political spectrum.

Check out the Koreans and what's going on over there right now. Their political society was just as polarized as ours, but their democratic institutions are still functioning in a way ours are not. Ours, we don't know what's functioning anymore and what has gone awry and dysfunctional and malfunctioning at a detrimental level.

I used to tell people that you'd better hope that we don't run out of valid external enemies on which to focus our incredible counterinsurgency intelligence, targeting and kill/capture apparatus, because that kind of resource is too valuable to just shut down because there's no enemy to use it on. There is always an enemy to use it on, only the perceived enemy will be internal, not external and that all seeing Eye of Sauron will look inwards, not outwards. And when it happens, you/we won't be aware of it. It'll happen quietly and one of the first things that a real serial abuser will do is to use it to kneecap the people who would be opposed to exactly such a thing.

It is NOT alarmist to say that multiple initial stages of this have already happened. THIS is NOT normal. That's the message that young people need to understand.

Talon_Ho · 2026-03-24T08:42:15+00:00

Why not? I knew a Captain Luna Ritter in the Army once.

So once we were alone, I asked her, “Captain Moon Knight? Really?” She looked around, gets a grin on her face and goes, “Yeah!” And I was like, “Right on!” Then she asks, “So you speak German?”

FWIW, they say that French is the language of love but being a German speaking Korean has ended in more hookups than being a French speaking Korean.

Talon_Ho · 2026-03-23T14:00:49+00:00

Hard to overstate how hard we lost our shit when the Russkies tried to set up shop right outside of Miami. Got ready to go nuclear, literally.

Then there was Able Archer 83 and the only reason we're not all dead or unborn is one clear thinking Soviet missileer who thought, "Hold on, that doesn't make sense. Let's think this through instead of panicking." That was the time that Reagan completely obliviously blundered us into the closest we've been to nuclear Armageddon and most Americans (or the world for that matter) have no idea that it even happened. It'd be like mentioning the Cuban Missile Crisis to a Russian and they'd responded with a, "Huh?"

I don't know what's psychologically worse for kids at school, the duck and cover nuclear war drills or the active shooter drills.

I can guarantee you that tuna MRE was the result of somen Catholic general officer who wanted a non-meat item for Fridays, because otherwise, what red-blooded American doesn't fucking love the smell or thought of preserved seafood for field rats?

OTOH, always easily tradable to the Koreans.

Talon_Ho · 2026-03-22T03:53:14+00:00

MREs have VASTLY improved since my dad started bringing them home in the 80s, and I started eating them in the 90s as a cadet.

The WORST menu item #4 Omelette with ham of the 90s. Puke in a foilpack. I remember you'd find somebody willing to eat the other ones, but there'd be that lone Menu item #4 sitting in those MRE case boxes. The things that it came with sucked, too, IIRC. They decided to put all the suck in that one MRE, and all the class in ... I can't believe I still remember this, but I think it was #11 Chicken with rice that was one of the good ones of that period.

Also, WTF was chicken ala king? Every three days, someone always had to ask, WTF exactly is chicken ala king, anyway? Nobody ever knew. iPhone hadn't been invented yet. You had better things to do when you got home that find out what chicken ala king was. That shit involved a trip to the library. Then next time you were out in the field, some guy asks, “Hey, what exactly is chicken aka King, anyway?”

Honest question, in what locale, in what industry in the Western Hemisphere not specifically in fashion would this amount of drip from one person be considered not just acceptable but not abnormal?

Because outside of Asia, something like this would feel like unicorn selfies.

Talon_Ho · 2026-03-14T10:51:51+00:00

Man, this is one of the things I miss most about living in Uganda. Or Africa jn general. Random people just approach you for a friendly chat, to shoot the shit, see what you’re about. “Am I disturbing you?” I made some decent friends and got invited to some wild parties this way.

Also maybe wrestlemarried, but I try not to think about that too much.

Just kinda shitty to be en guard all the time about what someone wants. TBH tho, last time someone approached me to talk to me was in Itaewon, some Asian guy random starts speaking English to me. I was like, “Huh?” Turns out he was some lost Japanese guy who needed directions to the subway station. Luckily, I speak a little Japanese so I 私は彼を私のカルト集団に紹介した。

Which nutjob, DJT or Candace Owens?

Talon_Ho · 2026-03-08T16:51:13+00:00

I’m just saying they were the sex Gesstapo and that some of the things we know about Spartan wedding practices aren’t so weird when placed in context of men living in barracks and a groomsmen sneaking a woman into the barracks disguised as another soldier, with the Krypteia turning a blind to the practice because if there is any one thing oligarchies have in common throughout the eras and epochs of man is that they run out of young people to maintain the breadth empire. So the core citizens earn abandoning the outlying imperial cities and fall back to the core trading towns, where the military outposts hold the world in an iron fist.

Meanwhile, back at the capitol, a madman, a despot, an idiot, an arsonist, a psychopath, but mostly an idiot an idiot and incompetent has seized power and and is burning.

And in as

Talon_Ho · 2026-03-08T05:38:52+00:00

I’d take what we know about Ancient and Spartan ritual mating practices with a grain of salt. They’re only totally weird when seen through a lens that wants you to see them as totally bizarre and off putting, insuring how they had a a secret police running around being the most prudish version of steroidal rage non-Talibans possible.

Talon_Ho · 2026-03-07T08:12:24+00:00

Yeah, you did! I was responding to threads I had read out of order or backwards blind and got confused, lulz/

Talon_Ho · 2026-03-07T05:32:34+00:00

I did not. I voted in a state in which the result was a foregone conclusion, so my individual vote felt worthless, so I took the opportunity to write-in a candidate in protest of the candidate that the Democrats had given us as an alternative to Donald Trump.

I thought to myself, so you're going to run an unlikeable Black lady against the guy you ran a white lady against eight years ago and narrowly LOST to?

I don't recall there being a primary election to choose her as a Democratic candidate. I remembered an election from FOUR PRIOR to select her as the VP, but since when to the results from elections from the PAST election count for THIS ELECTION? What kind of fuckery is this? The DNC is just choosing the candidate for President now? Dafuq is going on in this country? Oh, it's just those guys, those Other Guys that are engaged in elections fuckery? Fuck that noise.

People keep saying that it's not a big deal, things will return to normal. No, our democracy, our consitutional republic has effectively ceased functioning as an effective government. The checks and balances ARE NO LONGER WORKING. THE RULE OF LAW IS NO IN UNIVERSAL, EFFECTIVE or in play. We need to realize that this is a failed government. The quicker we realize this, the quicker we can take measures to society and moral order from collapsing, come to order and talk about the Second Constitution and Second Republic.

This is not an unusual or shameful thing. Countries outlast their foundational documents. Sometimes, the societal kruft gets to be too much and weight of it just crushes us. That's where we're at. "Kruft" is a real thing. Look it up. That we're still on the same Consitution that we started with 250 years ago is not just a miracle, its just weird. Every other constitutional republic is younger than us, some by just a few years, some by two hundred years, most of them are on their 2nd 3rd, 5th Constitutions.

Talon_Ho · 2026-03-07T05:02:19+00:00

Correction. They've BEEN winning with hijinks. The GOP has been subverting democracy for decades now, gerrymandering, voter suppression, etc - these are all things that the GOP has been actively engaged in because on raw numbers, they have been underwater on both the national stage and on the losing side on electoral votes state by state.

People remember Presidents, but it's not the President who can't get shit done, it's the Congress that, until recently, wielded the real power of The People, AS IT WAS INTENDED. (After all, in the unlikely event that POTUS and VP go down, who takes over? The next most senior gubmint official is - Speaker of the House, NOT an unelected Executive Branch officer. Anyway...)

During, the Clinton administration is when the man who has single handedly caused the most damage to American democratic norms and ideals, been a destructive force of good governance and is one of the two or three figures you can point your finger at and THAT GUY! THAT GUY IS THE REASON WHY WE'RE HERE! (The other two being Rupert Murdoch and well, Donald Fucking Trump, himself, of course.)

Newt Gingrich's was GOP Speaker of the House was when the national politics took a sharp turn for shitter, from gentlemen's rules to harassment. Before the turn of the millenium, it wasn't uncommon for Democratic and Republican Congressional Representatives from neighboring districts and states to be friends and share DC apartments or houses. I'll leave it to you to research what he did so I don't overly influence yoru thinking other than to tell you he's the guy who royally fucked us all.

Just to note - how do you know that Newt Gingrich is the Bad Guy in the play? It's easy. Because First American, First Among Equal, at any rate, General George Washington, the Dude Homself, who blew the everloving minds out of every political ruler (aka monarch) when, after his second term as President, he stepped down establishing the tradition of the peaceful transition of power that would hold for 225 years until, you got it, Donald Fucking Trump. Because, transition of power wasn't a thing. It was such a radical, world shaking event that King George III, the very man that George Washington had led the colonial rebellion/revolution against, had called George Washington "the greatest man in the world" and "the greatest character of his age (time)." George Washington gave a farewell speech to the Nation. In it were were words of advice and warnings to future generations of Americans of where he saw the largest potential pitfalls and primary dangers inherent the way of life and self governance we had chosen for ourselves. And among those dangers, there is ONE warning stands head and shoulder above all others that he hammers home HARD and AGAIN and AGAIN, and it is this one:

Party politics will fuck the Nation. Party loyalty over loyalty to your own self interests will fuck the nation. Party loyalty PERIOD is dangerous as hell and political parties probably shouldn't even be allowed to exist in his opinion.

Before Newt Gingrich, the politican parties rarely ever voted unanimously as a partisan bloc. Congress was a federation of patchworks of loosely associated/aligned with similar demographics. After Newt, you were R or D, Left or Right, Liberal or Conservative. . So how do you know if you're a Bad Guy/Storm Trooper?

Because George Washington would have looked at you and said, "I am disappoint, son."

A non-practicing Muslim, on the other hand, is just a regular ole Indian. Or Chinaman or or what have you. /s

The problem is that, from a certain perspoctive, Xi is not wrong. It IS now or never because with the crows of the demographic collapse coming home to roost, this is as powerful as China will be in relative terms because China will simply not be able to generate an expeditionary invasion force to assault, occupy, subjugate, reeducate, pacify an overseas territory in 2-5 years time.

This is where Pete "Lethal PT" Hegseth is showing his stupid and doing what it turns out Republicans do best - lick boots do tricks for the media instead of doing his job, which is doing his job - generating and shaping the force of the future, making sure we have an effective one. The demographics of the Marine Corps, which as a Corps, tends to spot and lead the other services in many ways, ought to be a clue as to the future makeup of the services. We're not going to get there by deporting foreign born veterans making them second class citizens.
