Being against domestic enemies is a nice euphemism for being an abuser. He's like Abraham Lincoln but instead of leading a war against slavery he just screams at children until they throw ball good.

Me pimped out in full tacticool gear, ready to slay the enemies of the nation.

The enemies of the nation: some poor people in a third world country who can't even place America on a map, barely heard of it and yet have to survive their soldiers, have no idea what wokism or any of that weird internet lingo is, are entirely content to live in their little town and never leave ever, and are content to only know like about 100 people 90% of whom are also permanent residents of their town. Yeah these guys right here? America is in sooooo much danger from.

I don't want to minimize the folks from different parts of the world, but the reality is there's a lot of really poor people in extremely humble living conditions who are content to just be happy with their families and to live in peace, and yet to hear the vicious murderous rhetoric coming from modern day orcs towards them as though our future depends on annihilating these people is depressing and frustrating.

Soldiers will fight long and hard for a bit of coloured ribbon - Happybadger, 2024

What gets me is that nothing about his ribbon rack is intimidating. He's trying to scream "look at the 20 year-old that can run a mile instead of the doughy 60 year-old in front of you" in the most painfully desperate way he can, but the most war-adjacent thing in his ribbons is the Combat Action Ribbon. That's a bog standard ribbon given to everyone on a ship that someone shoots at. His reservist ribbon shows 30 years of service so he wasn't even in the real Navy, let alone the real military. One weekend a month he pretended to be, taking a two week pleasure cruise every year to make sure he knew what a ship looks like in case all the actual sailors die. His air crew badge means he was probably like an aircraft mechanic or electronics guy.

It’s surprising how relatively recent these sorts of developments are.

So vicious was this war propaganda that even God was brought into it. With few exceptions our clergymen joined in the clamor to kill, kill, kill. To kill the Germans. God is on our side . . . it is His will that the Germans be killed. And in Germany, the good pastors called upon the Germans to kill the allies ... to please the same God.

And people today pray to Jesus to save them from the Mexicans; the same Mexicans who pray to Jesus to protect them in their journey across the border.

(I'm not comparing Mexicans to American Nazis or German Nazis, just pointing out that people are praying to Jesus against people who are supposed to be on their same side)

It true i will do disgusting things for a bottle cap with a smiley face super-glued to a safety pin.

i think you will find that Napoleon adopted and modified a medal regime that had begun in the Ancien Regime. ultimately from the late medieval secular 'knightly orders' that were used to lube up nobility for cooperation in military campaigns like this one you inducted Charles de Floofypants & he'd feel obliged to go die in a ditch under the Sultan's steel

Most of the DPRK soldiers with a ton of medals are usually old so they likely experienced the the Korean War. These days you see any 40-50 year old with a chest full of medals walking around Dairy Queen asking for a veteran discount

In a civilized society, it's very important that everyone always carry the tools to quickly and easily murder as many people around them as possible.

always stay strapped for antifas, shipmate. they're everywhere and you never know.

That's the first thing someone trying to hurt them would go for, it's almost like a "placed here for your convenience stabbing me" sign

It's genuinely easier to grab for someone standing in front of them than it is for them

The specific knife is the Gerber Ghostrike 30-001007. Love the posturing military lingo in the promo video (the "operators" who buy this will definitely "keep a low visual profile" as they open carry in a Denny's)

This one (1) neat trick allows you to look strong and masculine without having to do any exercise whatsoever. From the makers of Golf: the sport where you drive a little cart around drunk and only have to stand for two minutes at a time.

Don't be mean, he's clearly a fan of the green onion alien from gantz.

I feel like AI wouldn't add the punch knife. You need to psychologically be this guy to feel insecure enough to wear a punch knife as a necklace. An algorithm can't replicate the desperation required to decide to put it on the outside of his vest so that antifas would see and be scared of battle grandpa. Only the AI hurts inside enough to think that would look cool.

Like there’s no way this guy is real right??
