Russia is led by an undesirable organization

Though only 10% of the military serves in direct combat roles, those who actually serve in combat can certainly be traumatized by their experience.

The silver lining of serving in the military is that we are obligated not to follow illegal orders and the path to gaining rank in the military more often than not will instill wisdom and integrity after having their courage tested.

I am thankful to have served with so many servicemembers who demonstrated their wisdom, integrity, and courage and stood up for what they knew was right even when the people we elect are unable to do the same.

After having been in the military, it’s weird to hear people talk about the military who have never served.

Obeying authority? Sure, until ranking up and becoming the authority.

Pushing down emotions? More like learning to have control over our emotions, where those emotions do not control us.

Never be a soldier, but a fighter if needed?

That’s basically what I did. Most military jobs are non-combat that are trained to fight if needed but if they are needed than we’ve got way bigger problens than just fighting.

It will kill your soul? I for one certainly have regrets, but my soul feels intact.

Not everyone should join the military, it’s certainly not for everyone. Some people who thought it was all they ever wanted to do find out quickly that it’s not for them and leave. Others who thought they’d just join for 4 years for the college money and bail end up making a career of it and retire after 20 years.

I’m indifferent, I just did my 4 years and got out.

It wasn’t the kind of deal he had a choice in

Prigozhin wasn’t going to Moscow to overthrow Putin, just Shoigu and Gerasimov.

As soon as Putin made the call, the whole thing was over.

I’m an idiot. My brain actually thought that they shot down helicopters in air with an mlrs

Props to the movies that shout the “Loose!” command

He didn’t choose, Putin made a deal with him and killed him 2 months later

Who said?

Wagner had less than 20k

…and they may as well have been recruits

It works if trying to pass off the prank as good news

I still can’t believe Xerox still has that many users

They need to just get on with it, we all know what they want to do

Shit or get off the pot

Back in the day they were saying “don’t let the terrorists win”

Now it’s communists?

Are there any real communists left in the world?

The only existing communist states left in the world are in China, Cuba, Laos, Vietnam, and North Korea (DPRK).

…and even these states do not claim to have achieved communism in their countries but are supposedly building and working toward its establishment.

China is the most capitalist communist country I’ve ever seen

Seems like a lot of these pedo hunters end up being pedos themselves

Lots of projection going on here

160k Russian troops attacking Ukraine = guaranteed death

160k Russian troops attacking the Kremlin = guaranteed win

They should consider their options

Yes, these churchy mf’s are horribly oppressive

My condolences, we can only take it one day at a time

I have a grandfather I’m afraid of losing. He is the last person holding my extended family together. Once he’s gone there won’t be any big family gatherings ever again, and I may never see many of these people ever again.

It was Christmas, Halloween, and the 4th of July, birthdays, anniversaries, Super Bowl parties and such where it wouldn’t be uncommon to have over 100 people at grandpa’s house

I’ve already heard my uncles warring over who is going to get the house after grandpa’s gone and ain’t nobody going to be showing up for their parties

It will be a sad end to an era

Been watching equipment leave these depots since the start of the 3 day war, they really have been scraping the bottom of what could even be considered serviceable

Russia really is Ukraine’s largest defense supplier lol

I am a US veteran

Nothing makes me cringe harder than someone thanking me for my service

Even though I personally didn’t do anything horrible, it’s still making me remember one of the worst experiences of my life
