Man… I saw this shit on TV as I was leaving to pick my wife up from work. Figured I’d see how it played out before I left, because it was a police chase and wouldn’t be on the news for very long.
She’s still pissed off about it lol. Mention the OJ chase and she’ll immediately start ranting about not having seen it because someone was an hour late picking her up…
Fuckin oj…
Every bn will have a challenge coin (or several, sometimes the senior NCO will have his own design), so there’s a unique design for roughly every 1,000 people in the army, and they get redesigned fairly often, because the command teams change out after just a few years and often want to have their own version.
Which is just to say that it’s fairly common for someone to go googling to look for images to put on challenge coins, not that it’s normal for yours, out of billions of possibilities on the internet, to have been picked out :)
Please tell me they did you the courtesy of sending you one of those coins…
And they’re gonna go away because some wingnut convinced a bunch of people that their fins cause boners.
Don’t give a fuck about the balance between individual rights and positive rights. I’m not entitled to any determination of your options, values, or ideals, and I’m against anything or anyone that does.
I can piss on the bathroom door… I don’t need the bathroom, it’s a courtesy that we use the bathroom (ask San Fran…), and I have the right to wait a little while out of courtesy.
What you’re missing here is the responsibility that an individual has in a completely free environment to not break the unwritten rules of not being that one fucking asshole that’s always gotta fuck it up for everyone else…
Fuck positive rights. That’s what I think :)
General officers come with flags, placards, and assorted other bric a brac. The rule of thumb I quoted is decades old, and intended to help clarify how all that goofyness should be addressed, and generally benefits joe.
An officer in civvies carrying his uniform with his rank visible is actually an outstanding example of how said rule of thumb precludes stupid shit, because that guy is almost definitely playing the bullshit game… I’d just salute the fucker, ain’t nobody got time fo dat ;)
Technically, you salute the rank and not the individual.
In reality, as you’ve discovered, common sense still applies :)
Jailed at 16 and released at 36.
Imagine everything a 40 year old has done since they graduated high school, to get where they’re at now. This guy has four years to do all that…
Can’t be unfucked.
