I know the EA-18 Growler demo team isn't going.

I'm guessing it the fact that those "my bad" events don't make it onto the internet. I've witnessed more than one myself. Most cops are good people who will admit when they are wrong. I have to imagine that working with the worst 5% of the population on a near constant basis wears the crap out of you though. I imagine it'd be like having to interact with @Bender every single day.

Also because:

I bag on the bad cops all the time. I recognize how shitty the job is and mentally draining. Agree that you mostly only see the bad apples on the youtubes but there are enough of them on a pretty consistent basis that it IS an isssue. Saw one last night where cop off duty drives drunk to the theatre, drinks another beer waiting for movie to start. He bought ticket to Star Wars opening night but went into Frozen 2 theatre. Was found passed out with zipper down and handgun resting between his legs. Cops arrested him that night but he spent 365 days on paid admin leave and then when investigation closed, he returned to duty like nothing happened. All that being said, my main issue is with what happens to the bad cops. The general public is always on the hook in even the most blatant cases when it comes to lawsuits. Most of the time in the non-criminal cases, the cop resigns and then hires on somewhere else.

Exactly. 90% of the shit you see of cops going bad are all ego driven. It's gotta be a lot more work in the long run to be that way but its not them paying for the lawsuits so nothing will change.

Should we be willing to endure WW2 levels of hardship over Iran? I get it.. the new generation are of course all worthless pussies if they won’t go along with every single war but why does it follow that any of us should sacrifice to the level of WW2? Edit: larger question for the group.. I was reliably informed weeks ago by everyone from POTUS, to SECWAR, to commenters in this thread that we already devastated Iran’s military, achieved our military objectives, and had them on the ropes desperate to agree to our terms. The long term boondoggle I warned about was not only averted but I was stupid for even worrying about it. So why the change? Why do we need to deny their military fuel if it’s already decimated. Why do we need to “take all their money” if we’ve already got them completely cornered as far as negotiations
