Yeah, it makes us annoyingly vulnerable. Evolution is funny.
I can’t speak for Dave or for anyone else, but I can report something I observed. In Vietnam combat vets it wasn’t racism or xenophobia that made them jumpy around Vietnamese people, it was PTSD.
I spent 12 months deployed in southern Afghanistan in 2010-11, when I was active duty. My time in Afghanistan gave me an appreciation of both what was great and horrible about the place and its people. “Nuance” is unavoidable if you go into it with an open mind. Afghan food is awesome, if you bother to eat anything…
I’m 15 years active duty Army. The comments on here neglect the importance of having active dissenters within the DOD system. It’s also important to have a military that reflects our society— the Army is way too conservative, southern/midwestern, white, and Christian. Is that the face we want to show the rest of…
I was pretty lucky for most of my overseas assignments, after all it was a peacetime military. (most of the time and places not all) So, I could get off base, meet people, drink their liquor, sleep with their women. (I was in my 20's, no shame) It’s a different story when you go to a country where you can never…
I’m torn. I’m a veteran of the 1st Iraq Shit Show and the Cold War. I didn’t join out of patriotism, I was in a crappy small town and I wanted out. It worked.

It is kind of funny, I agree.

Would you let a complete stranger come live with you and your family?
Where have you been that you so fear individual radicals, those that exist across the world and plenty here in the US (see, e.g., Dylann Roof, Adam Lanza, etc.), that you’re willing to deny hundreds or thousands of other individuals a safe haven from war-torn lands? You do realize that this particular ban wouldn’t…
On my Facebook time line.
I think you maybe missed the point of her op-ed which was, succinctly, that she has chosen to embrace an ignorant, self-obsessed charlatan of a political figure because someone threw an egg at her once.
I’d say those games are implicitly political, in that they model systems analogous to those that exist today. Farmville functions as a managed capitalist system, for instance, giving minimal rewards for time and more for money.
Well, he took the job to be the voice for a human garbage bag, so he’s surely accepted that this was going to be the case.
The spice extends stupidity
were cheering when that protestor got hit at that Trump rally were thinking the exact same thing you are now.
