“Truth is the first casualty of war.”

Header of the episode of Clone Wars I just watched.

Dang, man, that sucks. But anyways, good news, these guys should be getting honorable discharges which grants them full access to VA benefits.

If their condition doesn’t improve within a year following a four-step treatment plan, Marines with PFB may be discharged with an honorable discharge for “incompatibility with service” at their commanding officer’s discretion,

You could just read the article, it’s in there.

There’s some verses in the Bible that tell you to be wary of those that come dressed clean and godly, that pray in public, and make a spectacle of their worship.
I forget exactly the words but it is basically that yeah, they’re filthy and ungodly inside.

I like Pit Vipers, not gonna wear them in public (not my style) but they’re cool.
In a prior job I worked in quality assurance, we didn’t have dedicated safety people in site so QA handled that too.
We could not get people to wear PPE on their own on the regular, especially ear pro. We’d have people bucking rivets and I’d walk up and hand then ear plugs (I always carried spare boxes of disposables in my pockets.)
Anyway, Pit Viper started making Z87 rated glasses. I bought a pair, started wearing them, people dug them. I contacted Pit Viper and they gave me a discount code for the site. Pit Viper eye pro exploded on site. At about the same time blue tooth ear pro was taking off. So people were wearing all their PPE.

My site manager didn’t like the look or the Bluetooth ear muffs and told QA to tell people they couldn’t wear them. I said, “Motherfucker, they’re finally wearing their PPE and you want me to stop them because you think it looks unprofessional?! You wear white oakleys in public. No.”
This is the same boss that wrote me up for bullying him twice. Anyways, the Pit Vipers reminded me of that.

The less they did the more they wear it. After getting out I’ve noticed an inverse correlation between how much somebody did during their military career and how much they want to talk about the fact that they were in.

Now, I’ve read that horses were native to the Asian continent and migrated elsewhere, eventually to the Americas. However, I was at the San Diego Natural History museum last night and they had a display that claims the opposite, that horses are native to then migrated out of the Americas.

*37 seconds of Wikipedia browsing did teach me that native horses went extinct in North America about 8,000 years ago, then were later reintroduced.

All the CPB I’ve seen in the southwest wear standardized uniforms, drive clearly marked vehicles, and don’t hide their faces.

Not commenting on the other parts of this discussion but a single shot from a rifle absolutely CAN cause permanent hearing damage. Even some weapons suppressed are still loud enough to damage your hearing over a short amount of time/multiple shoots. Have you ever seen or watched news of cops shooting someone and NOT firing multiple rounds?
Of all the tactical battle rattle these ICE dorks are wearing to capture people, I think suppressors are the least worrisome; should maybe even be mandatory for law enforcement in urban environments. That’s coming from my experience shooting in the Marines and being a hobby shooter since then.

Or just start throwing crayons at the Marines, I’ll bet the dress blues in my closet they’ll laugh at that.
