For sure, I guess we assume he used one of those TV silencers that make the guns actually quiet and TV bullets that won't overpenetrate the thin walls into the next room.

No, they were all lying around the room shot multiple times. Presumably he came in the door and opened fire immediately. Murdering your parents is hard enough without having a talk with them first..

I've always been intrigued by the ABLE ARCHER 83 and similar REFORGER-related scares over the decades, because I think it indicates how much the Soviet thinking on NATO strategy was influenced by the Soviets' own war plans. The idea that NATO would use an annual exercise as cover for covert mobilization of an invasion…

That game is the shit, aw man I wish my computer wasn't broken. And yeah, fuck the NVA, with their weak-ass T-55s. You gotta bring heavier a heavier tank than that if you want people to take you seriously.

He's becoming a drag, man. I've said this before but there's an awful lot of "protagonist bias" in the viewership here (same as for Breaking Bad). We have people who are objectively villainous, who live lives that are 100% false, who lie to their children and who murder innocent people all the time in service of a…

So at least he's not Don Draper, is what we're saying?

Holy crap has it gotten bad over there. At least there seems to have been a recognition by the online editorial staff that the people flooding the comments sections there are Putin-bots and not actually representative of the general readership.

Or that one FBI agent who never showed up again…

Yeah, I'm reading all these responses aghast. Philip wasted some random kid washing dishes in the premiere episode because he thought the dude *might* have made him. What the hell is wrong with everyone here that they can still root for P&E as the "good guys" and think that Larrick is the bad guy? Because they love…

It was funny to see both Neo-Nazis and Stalinists marching in support of Putin in Russia on May Day. Further proof that we live in a post-ideological world I guess.

She's only helpless if you forget she's a secret agent. And it's not like they drafted her, she's in the game by choice. If she got killed it's because *she* blew it, I don't see anything particularly evil about it.

He's a Captain, which in the Navy is a very senior position. It would be weird if he was carrying out operations himself.

Reading random Bloom County collections i found in my Aunt's house is the only firsthand experience that I have of 80s political culture. Hearing all the commenters on here talk about this stuff like it matters is fascinating.

Not as far as I know. There's certain drugs that will help counteract nerve agents to the point where the victim is able to survive being dosed, but they are still likely to be incapacitated. Something like Atropine is usually administered via an intramuscular injection rather than a pill (they issue autoinjectors of…

Sorta. they had the 80's "Chocolate Chip" pattern camouflage back then which turned out to be pretty bad in terms of actual camouflage once they were really in the Dessert.

Yeah, even to this day they still wear the 80s woodland BDU at Jungle Warfare School because none of the modern uniforms make any sense.

…and controls half the world's Titanium supply.

Damned subversives should be shot. Grumble grumble.

Egg?

Some of us just prefer to kill Sandinistas. It's like the Cola wars.
