Always loved that movie…
Yeah, as said in the comments, so much ‘stuff’ going on out there these days the information overload is in the beyond<\/strong> Red Zone. A positively OVERWHELMING amount of ‘stuff’. Between the whole Kirk fiasco and then the out-of-left-field Marine(s) shooting up two different locations, BOTH with casualties… I think the one in North Carolina was 3 KIA and the Mormon Church ended up with 4? KIA?

THAT particular one…
VERY Odd that one…
Literally a guy who the Leftard Media practically salivate<\/strong> over.
Veteran w\/PTSD? Check
AR Style Rifle used? Check
Trump Supporter? Check
Voated Repugnican? Check (last I heard that is)

I mean this guy is exactly<\/strong> what those fucking jackals in the Enemedia pray for<\/strong>. And yet….

The silence is deafening.<\/strong>

Things that make you go Hmmmn….
Makes you wonder if -someone- waaay on high told them to ‘pump the brakes’ on this particular story. The Jarhead in North Carolina, while his exact motive hasn’t been released, his past history is fraught with cray-cray lawsuits and whatnot, so he’s a nutjob IMO.

The guy who ‘did’ the church?
An uber-anti-Mormon extremist from my understanding. Fell hard for some ultra-hardcore Devout Mormon, and when he didn’t conform (like getting his ink removed) she flat out shitcanned his ass… and he blamed the Church and it’s Elders.

Otherwise…
And onto the next episode….
Seems we have another<\/strong> Perfumed Prince from the Potomac who called it quits:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Seems the above-mentioned Gen’rul Fenton, the (now-former) SOCOM Commander called it a day.

When I told Sapper this, he was a wee bit perplexed
“Wouldn’t the head of SOCOM be like a fire-breather\/blood drinker?” I too, was a wee bit curious, so I looked at his Wiki:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Hmmmn
Yannow what I don’t see<\/strong> in what would appear <\/em>to be a heavy award-ribbon and achievement rack?

NO C.I.B.
Which for you civvies is the Combat Infantryman’s Badge.
He’s got the E.I.B.
That’s the Expert Infantryman’s Badge at the top.
-I-<\/strong> have an E.I.B.
Never earned the C.I.B. No shame in my game…
Dis fukkin’ guy however?

To be the head<\/strong> of ALL SPecial Operations worldwide???<\/strong> And not<\/strong> have a C.I.B.??? Uh…. yeah. Add on his ONLY commands listed are United States Special Operations Command, Joint Special Operations Command, the then Special Operations Command Pacific? Yep… a Perfumed Prince for certain.

NOT a trigger puller.
I mean FFS his degree is from Notre Dame and in Business Administration. Even his ribbon rack positively screams “Palace Pogue”… The Defense Distinguished Service Medal, the Defense Superior Service Medal, and 2x Legion of Merit? Those are given out to field grade occifers who don’t shit on the floor or catch the clap for two consecutive years (or so I was told by my friend the Major). And the three Bronze Stars?

Yeeeeeeeeah… I watched an ENTIRE company of Rear Echelon Motherfuckers on Camp Victory ALL get awarded the Bronze Star one day in 2004… ALL of them were clerks and jerks… Pogues who never<\/strong> went outside the wire but got the Bronzie for “being under fire” while my boys from 2\/8CAV who were kicking doors nightly in Sadr City could get an award to save their asses….

Good Fucking Riddance.
All I have to say is NEXT!<\/strong>

ANd on that note… things are good right now… went at J3’s urging and got de-hobo’d so to speak… The hair and beard were getting a wee bit out of control, so a cleanup was in order:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

I’ve looked worse…
The scale also tells me I’m down 15 pounds… so I got that going for me as well…

So More Later
Big Country<\/p>\n\n\n
