Now if you’ll excuse me, all this talk has made me hungry.

They might be thinking of Scientology. Which… y’know fair enough.

That was my deployment show. Good stuff. Fun and dumb.

This puts into words what I’ve felt about the cynical cries of “Abbey Gate” we’ve been hearing for the last 4 years.

Where were you people during the surge? Where was your outrage?

Went to STL for the Army a few years back and I tried all the regional cuisine I could find. Nothing blew my hair back, but between Provel pizza, St. Paul sandwiches and toasted ravioli it was all very unique. Plus the free art museum in Forest Park was exceptional. Underrated city.

The goddamn dream. Like I never finished grad school. Home for y-ball and camping in West Virginia in the summer.

Been hearing about it for 16 years. Now they’re surprised I came to believe in it?

I have a working theory that GWOT irrevocably poisoned gun culture in the US too.

The obsession with kitting out AR-15s followed the lionization of SOF with their SOPMOD equipped M4s.

Every time I see a truck (or minivan!) with an AR/AK sticker on the back, I think about how we lost the war.
