That’s too on the nose. Orwell requires a more ironic title that implies the opposite what the department actually does.

Maybe the Ministry of Equality or the Ministry of Minority Advancement.

Hello! Female Marine officer here. I can assure you that this lieutenant is NOT the first female Marine officer to join our corps. Please correct your title.

Yes, this entire article is not only written by someone with zero military experience or background but someone who seems to have an open cynicism about every aspect of the U.S. military. Strange, but maybe for Jezebel, not strange.

Eh, marrying for money is fine. But at some point you have to take responsibility for who you marry. Its clear that Melania, by sticking with Trump, loves money more than morality, ethics, or her adoptive country.

My Father was an Air Force Air Mobility Command Officer (Now Retired). I’ll let his email to me speak for itself:

This. The backlash is predictable, but idiotic. This is why I am sick of constant internet outrage. We can’t even discuss our personal feelings about our own experiences anymore? Fuck that noise.

I agree with the general sentiment of her cri de cœur: white supremacy is a vast, monolithic and pervasive source of inequality in the world today that needs to be dismantled.

Well I guess I can breathe a sigh of relief since they’re literally the only type of jeans I’ve owned for the last 5 years....

In this case, I go back to the question of whether this would have been a crime if she…

A proposal...in a...mall? In New Jersey? Ugh, I’d be so much better at being “rich.”

Good on them.

241 years ago the colonies declared their independence from England. It took 8 years of war and thousands of deaths on both side before they gained independence.

I’ve been making it a point to read and find out more of each of the victims as they are named. I was reading through Martyn Hett’s twitter, a young man who tragically was lost, and he gave me an unexpected laugh this morning:

Wow, this guy just can’t stop killing people. 

Certainly. This is a suicide with collateral damage because he believes he’s owed the right to take out his anger on society before he dies.
