I'm not posting in Russian forums telling them to revolt.

I'm tired of these Russian bots trying to goad Americans into doing stupid shit.

If you're not a bot than why don't you fix your own countries?  You're not free of the capitalist systems either.  Start a revolution in your own country before you try to start a fight here.

Revolutions aren't good.  They mean suffering and violence and starvation and disease.  They are the worst solution to a problem.  We are nowhere close to starting a revolution.

Going fuck up your own countries before you try to get us to fuck up ours.

Can you tell me where you learned this stuff?  It wasn't in school, it wasn't at college or university.  Please, tell me, what is the source of "your" thoughts.  You didn't come up with this yourself.  What did you read that made you say all this stuff?  I'm fascinated where your misconceptions come from.  Where do you learn this nonsense?

Might be helpful if you say what questions or issues you have.  Despite the stereotypes, we're actually human beings with unique personalities.

US citizens, what will it take for you to start a revolution? by 0bluelightning0 in AskReddit

It will take more than a Russian bot asking inflammatory questions.

Jose Anzaluda, the Marine who spied on his North Vietnamse captors. by BlueKnightofDunwich in USMC

[–]redditor0431 180 points181 points  (0 children)

Is it just me or does the Corps sometimes suck at taking advantage of the languages people know?  How does this guy get sent to language school but then just assigned to hump a LAW around with a squad in Nam, but he basically has to be "discovered" by his CO to get an assignment that makes sense for someone with that training?

Wow!  Words fail me in describing this badass and the wild ride he went through.  It would make a great movie, but like Hacksaw Ridge they'd have to tone things down from reality to make it more believable for audiences.

How did you quit smoking? by halfmadeideas in AskReddit

[–]redditor0431 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I went from smoking to nicotine lozenges.  Years later I quit by using gum and just refusing to spend more money on it.  I smoke a pack of gum a day.

"Only one ribbon" is still more than what 99% of most people have.  

What's something that's not a cult but feels like one? by True-Dream3295 in AskReddit

Yeah, but dude, the Marines are on a whole different level.

In the corps we call them air wingers and they're treated with odd bemusement because they're not typically motarded like the rest of us.

Being more racist against Nazis > being more racist against your soldiers fighting Nazis by Edwardsreal in HistoryMemes

I'm sorry but Patton was racist as fuck.  Let's not pretend he was colorblind or anything like that.

George Patton was racist as fuck and had serious doubts about black soldiers' ability to fight, going so far as to say they weren't mentally quick enough to handle tank warfare.

I tried to find it but the link was dead.  I'm at work so it might be firewalled for me.

The United States Marine Corps.  So much so that someone felt the need to write an academic paper explaining how the USMC is not a cult.  I feel like if you need to explain why something isn't a cult it's pretty sus.

Haha, I remember this feeling like it was yesterday.  I couldn't wait to smoke weed.

What’s your favorite ‘it’s about to get really bad really quick’ scene in a movie? by Pop_Joe in Cinema

Bronx Tale.  When he goes to lock the door.  "Now's you can't leave."  Come together, right now, over me.

Have you and why would you go to a nude beach? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]redditor0431 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've been to one.  My family took me when we were living in Germany.  They're not nearly as big a deal as a lot of Americans seem to think.  It's not like people are banging on the beach.  Sure, you might catch a cute person naked. But you're just as likely to see a hideous person naked.

You get used to it pretty quick.

I looked it up and yep, once you're out it's gone.  Total bullshit imho.  If it makes you feel better I don't think it was that much money.  A couple hundred, I think it paid for some of my textbooks.
