WTF? (**NSFW**)
I'm torn on this - Yes if the "kid" is not an adult. My parents raised me in a family of eight, my step dad retired as an E-6 and was the only earner in the household. We were not well off. I went to college and grad school on a scholarship and went on to be a relatively successful member of society. My middle brother is in prison for a lengthy term and has been in and out since he was out of high school. My other brother is a 1stLt in the Marine Corps and also a productive member of society. That being said, I am 100% for personal responsibility. It is the responsibility of parents to raise their children to be productive societal members, but the best laid plans...

Are you talking about 1stLt and Capts in a Marine fighter squadron?

COVID-19 (Aka China Virus)
I'm currently reading The Real Anthony Fauci and it is jaw dropping. Concur with brabus, that piece of garbage should rot in prison.

Today in hypocrisy...
Everything that Trump had done had been known for years, why was the time chosen now to prosecute him?
-
Today in hypocrisy...
I didn't insinuate anything. I made a statement. I agree that both sides should be prosecuted if guilty of crimes. We haven't seen anything on Biden or his son, Nancy Pelosi's infamous insider trading, or anything on Hillary Clinton pushed forward. Didn't we have a former President of the democratic variety lie under oath about an affair while in office? Is that not worse than what the Left is seeking to currently prosecute Trump for? The Left is doing this to defeat their political counterparts is what I am saying, they are not doing it out of some morale high ground.

Today in hypocrisy...
The Left has started utilizing the judicial system to attack its opponents. I feel like we have seen this happen in other countries before...

The WOKE Thread (Merged from WTF?)
I mentioned to my wife I'd volunteer one day a month to guard my daughters school and she countered "but would you trust the other dads who would want to volunteer as well? They don't have the experience you do." Maybe some training would be required for most, but I'd fucking stand guard.

Money and Finance
That made the rounds of a Naval Aviator forum I'm a member of about a week or so ago. Bottom line, the CBO looks at things like that every year and makes recommendations like that all the time. I think it is incredibly unlikely for that to come to fruition. I think you'd have a hard time finding politicians to vote for such a measure after we've been at war for the past 20 years.

Money and Finance
So I've been a drilling reservist for the past five years and have not received any letters or notification from AMEX asking to pay the fee - Is that not typical? I also drop to the IRR next month so any recommendations on other cards without the annual AMEX fee? I don't really even use it, but the wife does.

Thirty Years Ago Today...The Falklands War Started
I clicked on the thread because I just completed a reserve points course on the Falklands. I then proceeded to watch about 90" of each of those videos and while I've never been hard up on ALSA comm brevity, these dudes were killing me.

The Congressman is back yo
The f*ck are you talking about? I'm guessing you've never had to hurt or kill someone. I'm guessing you're in the camp that think "words" can be violence as well.

COVID-19 (Aka China Virus)
A whole lot of silence from some BO members who were loud af only a few months and years ago. Says a lot. You know who you are.

Nordstream pipeline sabotage?
It is possible. I don't think anyone is saying that it is not, and if they are then they need to examine history. I also think that some of our agencies act on their own without guidance or in direct violation of guidance from our nation's leadership. Do I think we did it? No, but I wouldn't be entirely surprised if at some point it were proven true.
