Col. Yingling was my CO in 2008-2009, seemed like a nice guy, but when Obama won, oh boy, he was praising that man like no other and it got to the point that he made some not so smart comments about certian other leaders and well, he retired not too long after we got back from Iraq.

I never had the privilege of working with good officers, but I hear they existed.

I have worked with a few, they do exist, but they are damn few of them. One of the best was this 2nd LT, who came as a replacement on my first deployment in 03. He didn't know any of us, but he jumped and took charge and went to bat for two of the NCOs who had gotten in trouble over how a PT test was conducted. He kept fighting those kinds of fights, the soldiers first, everything else could wait. He made it to captain before he had enough of the politics.

It gives me hope to know they exist... sadly, the fact that such little things define a good officer for us means we've lost our way. That sort of task and care from our officers should be the standard, not what makes someone a "good" officer. That truly shows how far we've fallen as an Army.

Love the podcasts and I have been hound, badger, berating, and slowly convincing my friends to subscribe and read all of it. Did I mention the arm twist?

btw, backward mic was nice because levels didn't get out of hand like they usually do.

19 yr old could have lost baby. could be anything since blood affects everything.

our nurses & doctor last visit kept pushing us to get vaxxed. no matter how many times we said no, "but its for your safety and the safety of your family", "my friend nurse and her unborn baby died!", "i got my kids vaxxed & cant wait to vax my 5 yr old!!" ... hah.. i wish they were addressing me rather than wife, wouldve been fun to spit some rhetoric at them and see how they reacted.

i find it quite amusing that you of all people have that "but a few of the things he says are crazy" line, given that i fully expect most normies would say the same thing about you much sooner than you might about others.

in WoT the women were generally women-centric, but the story was not written so. Also there were few to no black people in the first part of the story. It's been a while but I think they might have mostly been.. sailors? I am quite curious whether they will follow with the story, in which the men start forming up & basically show up the women in every way except politics, where the women have a 500 year advantage or something. would be willing to refresh my memory on a synopsis binge but don't currently have the time to reread... sads. Also the main character builds a harem (3 wives)... so there's that.

but anyway yes, its all pozzed. there was some predictive programming here: https://youtu.be/KDRKmNf3rT0?t=49, and it's a little bit insane to see that so blatant.

once you know that your enemies control the airwaves, it's easy to spot their agenda everywhere.. at least you can see it, unlike the unaware.

In WoT, I couldn't make it past book 5. Felt like a zhee warrior was slowly killing me with a thousand cuts.

solution: read it when you're bored. not much a high schooler living in a bad neighborhood who has to wait for commuting parents can do (without power) besides devour novels.

I can see how his books would be more appealing in that situation. Unfortunately, I had recently finished Lord of the Rings . . . the WoT was billed to me as the next Tolkien. I tried it. First 3 books are phenomenal! Book 4 is slow, but still good. And book 5 took me a whole year. I know it's supposed to get better around book 10, but I can't bring myself to slog through the intervening tomes.

Expand full comment

it can be a slog if you aren't interested in what's being set up. i do recall there being a bit of a slow point through book 5 or 6 but it's essentially setting up for cliffhanger after cliffhanger on the next few books. at the time i was reading, most of the books were out... i think waiting on 1 or 2 more... so i had more incentive to keep going.

I might go back to it one day 🤷🏻‍♂️. But for now, I've got too many other books to read.

side note: that the story is interesting does not mean the characters were good or cool or anything. watching some pretty idiotic characters walk into traps and make amateur and naive mistakes ... was only saved by what amount to the extenuating circumstances (insanity etc) and lack of life experience of the characters.

I know Col. Yinling, he is a white guy and a Leftist.

At least you aren't killing off charcters that folks start to like and the poop the characte is dead. Harry Turrtledove does that way too much....

So does GRRM.

Never read either one, but comments like this assure me I made the right decision.

Okay, here me out. When I was in Iraq I worked with a lot of TCNs who were from poor nations. They were the truck drivers who got 2 weeks of training and were sent to convoy in the warzone. It was a cluster fuck of accidents that didn't need to happen. It isn't an easy thing to safely manage a 18-wheeler rig through traffic dense areas. This ends badly.

Okay, ignore my typos... I was dictating this and didn't catch that HEAR was written as HERE. But, when you really think about it, it was the Russians fault. So sayeth CNN!

First, Tim Pool had a former Mexican drug cop who said the cartels and migrant caravans are funded and managed by the CCP. It does make sense for that to be true.

The capital gains thing will lead to no non corporate food production.

But can they hold it?

Turkey plant is not running full shifts because of the mandates. So older turkeys are getting put out there, which means heavier birds.

I could go on about the various non profits involved in the replacement migration, but that might be to spicy.
