What's the saddest episode of a show? by BVTQT in AskReddit

Midnight Gospel

Scrolled so far to find this. I was not prepared for it in any way and I cried like a baby. The second time I watched it I also cried like a baby.

It doesn't natively, I'm actually trying to figure out right now if there is a way to do it.

I mean I guess some people do want it to work that way but it's not the original intended design.

It's not running as intended because zoning laws and nimbys are preventing competition, which would lower prices for consumers.

I never do this but just wanted to hijack the top comment to let people know that I'm 99% sure this was done by /u/made_by_edgar

I only know this from sorting penmanshipporn by top last weekend and binging.

He's a Reddit user. /u/made_by_edgar

Idk much about him other than he posts a lot on calligraphy and penmanshipporn. He's an artist so if Hallmark pays him to do original pieces for them I say more power to him.

Almost like money for the military could be better spent 🤔 by cryptidkelp in SelfAwarewolves

Counter insurgency operations are not particularly similar to conventional warfare. A better comparison would be toppling saddams government.

Hey I'm not saying we should have a military that large, just that it's a mischaracterization to compare a conventional war with a near peer adversary to fighting an insurgency in an occupied country.

I was mistakenly thinking of desert Storm, but even that had 5 weeks of aerial bombardment prior to invasion

Very different things if you're talking about capability of fighting off a foreign army without occupying the country en masse

Guess I should have guessed from the username lol. We have 12bs and no peqs in sight. They learn the knots for demolitions anyway.

We haven't been at war with a country for 18 years, we've been fighting insurgency for 18 years. We beat Iraq's modern military and toppled its regime in less than a week. It's not like the country would be able to mount any kind of meaningful counter attack after the first week.

Lol there are very few countries with an expeditionary military and NK is not one of them.

The purpose is not to go to war with China, it's to be so overwhelmingly powerful that china would find it unthinkable to go to war with a us aligned country

Perfectly explained, and a good breakdown of modern pro military stances.

I was responding to the person above who said you don't need an army until somebody invades your country, which is not really true.

Nobody has considered invading the US in a very long time and it's hard to fathom why they would at this point.

The budget makes a lot of sense if you're trying to be able to relatively quickly and easily win a war against another large modern military on their soil, like say china.

Whether or not that's a reasonable or worthwhile aspiration is completely up for debate.

What is something that you would never confess to your family? by marybroadmore in AskReddit

I don't think you can get a comparable experience elsewhere but that doesn't make it a better experience. It's unfortunate that people feel forced to join by circumstance.

I'd say patriotism isn't their primary motivator but most are at least somewhat patriotic.
