“It's not a matter of whether the war is not real, or if it is, Victory is not possible. The war is not meant to be won, it is ment to be continuous. Hierarchical society is only possible on the basis of poverty and ignorance. This new version is the past and no different past can ever have existed.

Tribe is what gets you a nation. Thing Japan, China, North Korea. No tribe - like us - means no nation (or... multiple tribes all fighting against each other).
Been to Iraq twice, I would take it over the parking garage. I had a bed in Iraq and at least I was on the other side of the planet from the shit Democrats that we’re making my life suck not sleeping in their aides parking spot.
At least you were not in a stinking jungle sweating your ass off while being eaten by every creepy crawly know to man ,with officers that couldn't find their butts with a map and their own hands! Thank you for taking my place in Iraq brother!
Look for a change in the rules of engagement. They're not going to let our troops appropriately defend themselves. Will they even let them have the ammo they need?
I just saw a video over on Gab, of newly sworn in Republican Congressman Madison Cawthorn, taking a shitload of take-out pizzas to the troops the Democrats relegated to the parking garage.
Why are these NG troops still deployed, anyway? There was no actual resistance to the Inauguration, in DC or anywhere else. It’s not exactly a “militia threat” when the activity consists of people staying home and posting complaints online about some temporary limits on tweeting.
I just read that they were returned to The Capitol Building after the news got out they were tossed into the parking garage, and other places. I know Gov. Abbott ordered his National Guard back home.
Iraq would be better than the garage. When everyone has rounds, everyone is respectful.

Nice quote, but it's from a book of fiction....
Oh Shit.... wait!
Iraq also has more secure voting than we do
No sadly not. They are tribal and do not want a nation.
That's more Afghanistan. I'm sure Iraq would love to go back to its pre-Gulf War days
Modernity lost: Afghanistan before the Soviets and the Taliban =1= ... =2=

Thank you for your service.

I’ll pass on the jungle.
Nicer climate too.

Conservative soldiers vetted out, sent to Iraq and Syria for "peacekeeping", unarmed. Swamp is safe

Madison gives me “He is gonna be a future President” vibes...

Nope, read the EO - only scratching and sass allowed now
My coworker’s son is there with the guard now and the das said his unit was given 60rds each
They sure the hell didn't let them have ammo in DC!
Exactly. Soldiers generally enjoy deployments better than sitting in garrison at a military base in the States. Less bureaucracy.
Being away from family sucks
Deployments can be interesting...until that 15th consecutive MRE.
It's pure fucking hell from there on out.
My experience is the same... I enjoyed being over there bc we had a job and the staff stopped fucking with us.
Can confirm.
Until you use the rounds and kill some bad guys trying to plant an IED and you get charged with murder.
