Grapevine, TX is honestly funnier than Iranian Crown Prince.

To quote the Great Robin Williams, "What, was Amish Country booked?"

My assumption is they thought they'd be told we're gonna declare victory and wind things down, but instead were treated to a 50-Day-50-Point plan to hand Iran over to a transitional coalition of Kurds, Rare Earth corps, and the owner of Shiraz Kabab in Falls Church, VA - backed by the 101st.

Devastated. Among everything else, Trump take Eagle half-century unbeaten streak.

Fixing agent spam was a major improvement. It's hard to go back to the old games where everyone has 20 spies and merchants running around at the end of their turn.

We're gonna send Mercy and Comfort to the Gulf to pull escort duty at this rate.

"How's the war going?"

"Well we're underwriting all maritime trade in the Persian Gulf."

*winces

"And we're arming the Kurds to start a popular uprising."

*deep breath*

"And we killed everyone, on the B and C teams we thought could've credibly run the country."

*walks backwards into sea*

To counter the allegations that you have no plan and never had did?

"Um...maybe the Kurds? Everyone liked the SOF guys on horseback, right? Let's try to recapture some of that magic!"

LCS stans totally vindicated. They just needed a mission module you could cheaply toss overboard in case the mission flexed.

On the side of this event, I will be hosting a screening of noted 2000s film "Van Wilder" where you can cringe in silence while mumbling the best lines you still remember having not seen that movie in nearly 20 years.

Hosted by this guy so you don't feel even the least bit like this wasn't made specifically for you, even between sets!

I saw Fastball in 2008 (for the 3rd time) and there were only 6 other people at the show.

Hahah, ROBERT IRVINE as top billing among ACCLAIMED CHEFS!

He wants a "maverick" label so he can make bank being an enlightened centrist at some think tank, uni, corp, or media property.

Luckily there are a lot of Thoms in NC who are either gonna stay home or quietly vote Dem and not tell their friends. Roy Cooper will be the next Senator.

If the polling doesn't immediately go tits up on the back of ENTIRELY PREDICTABLE POLICIES THAT TILLIS ENABLED simple Thom here is happily in the back of this clown car. He's just one of the first rats off a quickly sinking ship.

You can start handing it to Thom Tillis when he does something worthy of even a small amount of absolution.

Thom Tillis voted to confirm every last one of these incompetent people, fully knowing they were briefly unqualified to lead these Departments. Talk is cheap. Throwing a pissy fit is cheap. He's got a lot to answer for and none of his self-serving theatrics come close to that.

100+ complaints from 40+ units over 3 days seems...almost unbelievable. I don't doubt commanders said stuff like this. There are plenty of wackos and Pete has encouraged this stuff.

I'm a bit skeptical too.

As in, "Clay isn't here but he'll be back for the 2 o clock. He took a walk to listen to his vampire musical after the call with the Services."

It's Complicated Being A Wizard - YouTube

I think this is worth a listen at least once because you might, like me, decide that listening to the entire thing in your car in the parking lot before you go into work is somewhat decent at preventing an expected crashout. Coworkers call this my "vampire musical."

Infection-Associated Clinical Outcomes in Hospitalized Medical Evacuees following Traumatic Injury- Trauma Infectious Disease Outcome Study (TIDOS) An official website of the United States government

Doing data entry for it was the first DoD job I had after burning out hard at a MENA NGO. Later on they wanted to start working with the Brits and nobody else had any international xp so they handed coordination to me. Rest is history, as they say:

The full paper is set to be published "soon" according to the author, I'll post it when it's out. Really interesting stuff. We did a similar study of US casualties in Iraq/Afghanistan back in 2009-2011, with related findings. Burn wounds from blasts are just brutal for opening people to infections.

This one has REAL PARMESAN!

I have 30" high letterboards of "FIRE HEGSETH" (with an option to go a little naughtier) and I will be out there tomorrow morning because fuck this.
