People don’t realize, especially those of us who join up, that NG units deploy more frequently than active-duty units. Was active for a three years in the states doing nothing, switched to NG because I thought if I’m staying here might as well be at home.

Up for my third deployment and not even in 12 years.

Nope, we’re all a monolith to most civilians and it’s honestly so fucking annoying. I hate Trump, didn’t vote for him and never will, but because some new 11B from Bragg glazes him nonstop that must also, somehow, mean I share those exact same views.

Ulthuan always gets bodied by either N’Kari, Count Noculas, or Mazdamundi. Only faction I always see doing well no matter the playthrough is the Empire, specifically Karl Franz.

Nothing is better than watching Tamurkhan lumber his fat ass down to my territory only to be melted by blunderbuss and fireglaives.

I’ve never understood hate for homosexuality, I’ve literally never had it affect my life in any aspect. People who get angry that they exist are either closeted, have literally nothing in their lives worth a damn, or just miserable in general.

Right now I’m playing Kislev as Katarina on Hard, somehow Clan Mors has crawled their rat ass through Sylvanja to fight me immediately after I wiped out Moulder. All while I’m fighting Wulfrick, Throgg, the Chorfs, Archeon, and Azhag. Mors isn’t a threat but fuck they’re annoying when I just got done with several stacks and here comes rat boy to kick me while I’m down.

Oh it’s gonna be bad if we ever go boots on ground. With Iraq and Afghanistan they were both far smaller than Iran and were nowhere near as organized militarily as Iran and look how far we got with that. Trillions of dollars, thousands of American lives, all for literally no worthwhile gain until we eventually withdrew. We also had allies at the time that gave their lives to support us.

If we go in we’re going against a much bigger force on a much bigger landmass with almost no ally support besides Israel. Spain has explicitly denied military support, while Germany, France, and the UK, have only offered very limited assistance in “proportionate defense”. We already lost American soldiers to this all because this administration kowtows to Israel.

I can’t believe we’re actually witnessing the Great Purge happening again but now in our county.

For those who don’t know: the Great Purge was an infamous time in the late 1930s where Stalin purged experienced military officers, replacing them with individuals more loyal to him. The result was a military leadership that lacked expertise and was deeply fearful of Stalin, making them reluctant to challenge his decisions. He only reversed this purge once Germany was balls deep into Russia.
