Watching Force Awakens again and damn, why hasn't First Order tactical doctrine taught them to dismount their landing craft on the OPPOSITE side from enemy fire?

They need a doctrine update for their joint forcible entry, smh
If Patton had been a stormtrooper, he would've designed armor just like Phasma's, and you know it
Kylo Ren losing his shit over here like it's the last day in the box at NTC and he's the s-3 who hasn't slept the whole time and takes out his anger on the 6
Poe taking the tried and true rebel dogfighting tactic of, uh, just going straight at em

Maybe not the best tactic when your air fleet is SEVERELY limited
The two stormtroopers who walk in on Kylo ren's tantrum who are like "bruh, maybe we patrol in the other direction for a little while" are SO relatable
The resistance has this amazing tech that does readings on the Starkiller base and all sorts of Intel gathering doodads but like 6 x-wings.

Feel like the resistance procurement office should've had some different priorities

One bottle of champagne down

Now where's that pesky gin got to
Well well well well well well well

Well

I found the gin, so don't be worried. Yo, remember that time when the US almost took Canada in a snowstorm but didn't because of a lack of gin? Ok, well not that, but gin probably would've helped.
So it's 1775, like it often is in my stories. Convenient that way. Here's the sitch, frens. Shit is Poppin all the fuckin way off around these here colonies. Like. Poppin. Off. There's all this talk of liberty and shit and someone's like, "yo, do you think Canada wanna join?"

You've heard of potential energy

We call this a potential Falcon Image
I've got a bad feeling about this... Image

Welp, I finished grading. I got my booster, so I'm kinda out of it. My coworker gave me some awesome rum-filled eggnog.

Guess I'll lay in bed and watch "Patton" because it's been a while since I had a good laugh
It's important to remember that Patton did not have George C Scott's gravelly voice. He had almost an academic, nasally, higher-pitched drawl

And that makes all these lines absolutely *hilarious*
Real Cold War flex going on here, using M-60s as US tanks versus Soviet T-55s as German tanks. This will never not crack me up

My dad, 1955

This would explain why we always had about 15 dogs when I was growing up... Image
It's really, really, really a massive relief to find out that your dad wasn't a racist in 1956. Racism was never anything he modeled when I was growing up, but it's good to see it in his letters that he is disgusted with the actions of white southerners while he's at UNC
When my dad wrote, sarcastically, "The south is on the move" and put an arrow pointing to "south" with the caption "not worth capitalizing" he was commenting on the actions of students at the University of Alabama on Feb 7, '56 re: Autherine Lucy, a Black coed Image

ok so i know it's been a hot minute since i yeeted this meme into the internet but i've only just now had enough bourbon to explain it in its full glory
right, so this whole story revolves around my dude clarence ransom edwards from the great STATE OF OHIO. Born in the Land of Cleve, he's a bit of an irascible SOB, so I guess that's why he runs of to West Point to do whatever it is that they do there to make ossifers
My boi doesn't go great at the point of west. Like, not great at all. Fully last in his class. And not gonna lie, kinda respect him for that

the reason? Dude has a tongue sharper than a razor and isn't cray about the rules. Which yeah, would make time at WP pretty tough

Looking forward to reenacting 1986 when states who didn't want to their troops deployed outside the US suddenly discovered that the DOD was very willing to let them do whatever they wanted...minus, you know, all the federal equipment and money that the states relief on
Weirdly, states backed down when they realized, "oh, yeah, we'd actually have to pay for stuff if we went rogue"

Not sure how many people realize that since legislation in 1903, 1916, & 1920, states don't really pay much towards their National Guard
Court cases followed, namely Perpich vs DOD, but the states kept losing. Also, Congress passed the Montgomery Act that said governors didn't have a say in the deployment of their troops under federal authorities, since all Guard troops have dual status under the law
