This would be hilariously sad like a Jeb Bush rally, if it weren't for "safe spaces for sex offenders" and "white makes right" policy ideology. That's where the cold draft seeps in.

The only thing the military will openly clap and cheer for while in uniform and at a formal function is a 3-day-pass.
This man will single-handedly erase 30 years of military goodwill and development in an effort to protect his buddies from warcrime prosecutions.

The downwind "payoff" is also providing an ownership so solvent that they do not care about a workers' strike, poor products, or any kind of consumer backlash. The ownership would continue and replace as needed, or shut down the company with no regard to employees or market, on a whim.

This has less to do with creating games of a specific type, and has more to do with capturing large entertainment mediums. Sports games are an international staple, and much like the Saudi's golf aspirations the point is to get sports franchises, and players, to play ball on their terms.

Kicking away, the offense that makes up a dull play.
Gamble and waste your dollas on DraftKings layaway.
Throw a pick 6 on a safety blitz and we all frown.
Waiting for post-game for musings about some cliche.

But how many good football player *names* have there been? A sport can live for centuries if we phonetic their players as if we slam our hands in the 7-layer chip dip.

And this is the critical read of "the Military does more than be warfighters". DoD itself does more, but at the bottom end, I do think the military is given more credit than it deserves, currently.

I'd love to be wrong about this. But I think we (the standing military from what I remember to now) are further behind the eight ball than we're given credit for. I just don't think, domestically, we're there yet.

There is a lot to DoD that is above the bottom end implementation and execution. You're absolutely right. I'm trying to look at it from a perspective of what the deployed soldier has to deal with. I do believe there is something missing, or wrong, between intent and implementation.

The world has changed, the mission/role of the military has tried to adapt, but they must always heed the needs and demands of the government as to what they do. The "How" is rarely if not never considered. And it doesn't help when immature fantasies of insecure manliness are policy. Fin/

I've talked before about how the semi-ironic homoeroticism of the military starts being dark fantasy when the irony is lost. And the military is very good at reprogramming/reconditioning normal people into Pavlovian semi-psychopaths. Obsession with lethality indeed strains military capability. 5/

I currently think the US Military does currently fail to prepare soldiers for humanitarian relief, because there's a long held assumption that we could shift into that role effortlessly. But the military's failure to keep the peace in Afghanistan and in part Iraq is evidence it is not prepared. 4/

I used to think the US Military /could/ be a useful temporary reinforcement of boarder immigration security, but only acting in strict humanitarian guidelines and logistical assistance (transport, temp housing, food/water). But despite professionalism, there is always a danger of a FUBAR incident 3/

The US Military, operating outside of its specialty, only has the advantage of coordination and logistics. Soldiers can pile sandbags against floodwaters with the best of them, but they cannot HVAC a flooded house. They can distribute live saving food/water, but they cannot fund reconstruction. 2/

I had a deep think about this:
The US Military has two responsibilities, one is to fight two near peers simultaneously on two different fronts, and two is to put a massive amount of manpower and logistics into a place in a short timespan for a short timespan to reinforce emergency response. 1/

Performative has limited uses, and those few are best for reinforcing soldiers' trust in equipment. For example, the live-fire low crawl course during basic. "Do not stand up or you will die, but do as you're told and you will pass." Trust in other soldiers, the equipment, and your orders.

We called them "Hollywood Jumps" for a reason. At best, the performative demos for brass/politicians are to show "the equipment works currently". There's a lot of romanticism about how we used to fight wars, not to mention fictionalization of current warfighting. Huffing our own farts, so to speak.

I think the "lethality" obsession is more a misunderstanding of the "performative". Men on monkey bars, men throwing axes, men doing backflips. It's basically good ol' semi-ironic military homoerotica. It becomes obsession when the irony is vehemently denied and problematic with white power tattoos.

I often tell the "Humpty Dumpty" story as an allegory for recessions, in that Humpty does not fall on his own volition, but is instead pushed by multiple hands. This right now is but one hand. We haven't even entered market correction. Other things will happen, and they will happen later this year.

And you can point to his ideological soapbox being front and center when he started criticizing MtG cosplayers as "not real fans" and ruining MtG for every(manchild)one else. I used that event as part of a critique primer for a video, and I got blowback for daring to critique him and his takes.
