My wife is concerned I'm gonna get called back in. I had to explain how being almost 50 and a resigned commission means I'm probably invisible to the eyes of any draft, recruiting or press gangs.

But if they promised me an F14 I'd probably fall for it
I expect mass dishing out of stop-loss (retention is still terrible) and hitting up the IRR before any kind of draft or recall.
 
I'm probably late, but what's the status on that Iranian aircraft carrier (converted rusty container ship)? If WW3 happens from this I just want to see that piece of shit sink beforehand.
 
Retarded people have a tribalistic view on politics, they treat it like some sort of football game where you always cheer for your team and pick your cool little maga tshirt and paint your face with the cool MAGA colors and scream very loudly cause you are winning, I dont think they are capable of seeing the big picture, People that simp over politicians are the weakest link and they should kill themselves ASAP so we can move forward as a society.
You know where was this energy when he wanted Ukraine to pay its bill? They cheered as did I fuck that we should be isolationist first. But not one peep about a scheckel from Israel? Weird how you have can have such chameleon democrat political views when it serves MAGAtards. He ran on an America First agenda I thought
 
yes that is the first step towards healing because that is a REACH I mean yeah good she loves you and is worried but she needs to cut off whatever is feeding that crazy into her brain
It does not help that her brother is an Intel captain in the Ranger batt so he's probably about to get on a plane to somewhere shitty.

I'm explaining to my mother in law in the group text that they're retiring the plane I flew in 4 months so I'm seriously a zero risk callback
 
Frankly cities are almost archaic holdovers from a time in human history when the automobile, long distance communication, and the Internet didn't exist. You had to have all of your workers near the factory for production, important decision makers had to be in close vicinity to each other to govern, etc. I just don't see the purpose of it anymore.

To put an even finer point on it, I've honestly questioned if we are even biologically wired to live in cities. I know there is that study on mice, but frankly I just think of any large mammal you read about, how they will say a bear or a tiger's territory can be so many square miles. Maybe humans are the same way, I don't know if being crammed with no personal space is a biological healthy thing for the human mind. At least not for whites anyway.
You’re correct on that. I remember hearing about studies that showed living the city decreases empathy and other similar things. I’m obviously not citing anything specific so take that with a grain of salt, but you should look into stuff about Dunbar’s Number. Basically the idea is that the maximum number of people one human can reasonably keep track of and feel connected to is about 150.
 
Let’s see.

We got Tobey back as Spiderman, Hugh Jackman as Wolverine, a Harry Potter reboot, those ugly ass JNCO jeans making a comeback,

JNCO jeans are making a comeback?

Well, we're doomed. Time to go stock up on MRE's and bottled water.
 
Way too much hysterical faggotry in this thread.

The US has wanted to eliminate Iran's nuclear program for decades but didn't want to get into a protracted war in ME after the Iraq fiasco. After Israel castrated Hezbollah and Hamas, the Houthis used up all their resources like the Arabniggers they are, and Syria got a new regime, Iran has been buckbroken enough that Israel proved they were lame ducks with no ability to retaliate in a significant manner. Trump decided to get in on the action and finished off the nuclear program.

This will all be forgotten in less than a month. If MAGA is going to lose their majority, is because Trump keeps flipflopping on the economy.
 
Looks like people were right who were speculating that just maybe Israel didn't go half baked and that something else was going on. The talks clearly did not go well and or intel that something was happening quickly.

If the cost of preventing a nuclear iran then so be it. A lesson well learned after NK it seems. Plus, the way the regime's going.. it makes sense. I'm not just scared, or primarily so, about the current iran gov itself (though i am that) but especially what happens when it falls with nukes. Much rather prevention than entering a civil war to secure later or something. (with the alt being allowing the terrorists and extremists/orgs the regime has throughout itself, getting their hand on one)

Yeah, it's a fact the sitting president loses on average 26 house seats and 4 Senate seats in midterms. The thing Trump had going for him is that Dems have spent the last six months failing to rally around anything and their base is quite demoralized. We'll see where things go with Iran. 18 months is still a long time in politics.
the senate map is surprisingly good for republicans.

they're losing the house though. they sat back and let democrats gerrymander their largest states while they did nothing for their own.
