Scapegoat identified. No way it could have been the dems alienating their base with less progressive politics in a failed attempt to pull republicans over to Harris.

Agreed, liberalism is thriving because the fascist collective is still in power, the flags are just red for the next four years. What another resounding victory for capitalism.

Happened to me as a kid. This huge spider came crawling over my shoulder, but so engrossed was I in the show I was watching, I didn't notice the monstrosity until it was right in front of my face. I sat up and tried to scream, but no noise came out. I didn't go into that room again for days.

They're upset that a political party convinced them to support genocide and feel the need to lash out.

You fools have already forgotten how your moist towels and paper napkins all stem from greatest absorptive progenitor, the precursor to all imbibers, our most holy Rag!

I just couldn't let the original commentor get away with saying the most ridiculous shit in this thread, I had to top them.

Actually, tetris is really a commentary about the brief and fragile ethnostate in Constantinople as the Byzantine empire fell to the Ottoman empire.

Very true, however I was merely drawing a distinction between those drafted and tossed aside, and those who the original commenter said had committed horrors abroad. This guy is more likely to have been complicit.

To be fair, given his job, this guy probably didn't commit wild atrocities. He probably stared at a screen, waiting for the Viet Cong to deploy submarines.

Which is true, the US should not have gone. However, many people were drafted for war in Vietnam, and going may not have been their choice.

I still don't think thanking them for their service is the right thing to say, maybe something along the lines of "I'm sorry you were forced into a horrible war."

The guy in the picture, though, is a senior chief petty officer, which pretty much means he did 20 years at least. This guy retired and is still collecting a check from the government. A far cry from the draftees who were forced into combat and forgotten about as soon as they got home, lucky to have survived at all.

You've allowed a political party to convince you that genocide is acceptable.

Dude saluted a foreign military officer, to the confusion of all.

Phil LaMarr was everywhere in the early 2000's.
