It might be good to sky drive for the experience in a controlled environment. Many years ago we were at a command Christmas party and Tyler won the dance competition! We got passes for sky diving but never went because.. well no thanks 🤣

I think he was fired up because I had found out I was pregnant that morning and he told everyone at the party. My gown has gotten a little tight and I was confused and self conscious I was getting fat. Turns out I was just pregnant 🥰

I can't remember the dance honestly. It was 7 years ago 😭 i just remember bits and pieces from the party. Like how it was weird the Navy held a Christmas party at a casino and gave everyone $20 in credits to gamble 🤔 and how I wasn't 21 but could gamble. I always thought it 21.

I have a bone to pick with the age of consent laws, why the fuck is the age of sex lower than the age of marriage in a lot of states
-
Embed this notice
I like Germany's laws regarding alcohol consumption and believe that the age of consent should be higher than the age of marriage with the exception of if you're married to said person. Make divorces a lot harder to obtain so that you don't have people trying to find loopholes.
Tobacco should be alcohol age, casinos should be illegal, and military should be at or after age of marriage

leaf thing
but yeah here the drinking and gambling ages are both 18
-
Embed this notice
I don't drink alcohol, but I believe if 18 year olds can die for Israel, get married, and vote, they should be able to buy alcohol legally. And apparently gamble too

@d0c40r0 @AlabasterBrick @madison @burner @DEERBLOOD You assume I haven't thought about this take for a long time.
Perhaps that's why standing armies and wars for bullshit reasons are bad?
-
Embed this notice
yet another absolutely shit take from SBB
Men with families will fight to get home to their families, not to keep their unit safe. The first son (and likely other kids) having a higher possibility of being raised by a single mother is also dangerous to society as a whole, and extended periods away encourages decay of their relationship which is also obviously not good for them or society as a whole.

@d0c40r0 @AlabasterBrick @madison @burner @DEERBLOOD "Let's entice stupid 18 year olds to join the military so they can go die in the desert for jews - best to get em young so they'll fight real hard for their brothers!"
is a pretty fuckin hot take.

@d0c40r0 @AlabasterBrick @madison @burner @DEERBLOOD You should study history a bit more. Standing armies are always an excuse to start shit.

A standing army is vital because it allows for a structure that can be easily expanded upon for territorial defense purposes

Embed this notice
@d0c40r0 @AlabasterBrick @madison @burner @DEERBLOOD Yeah and age of marriage is 16 or 18?
-
Embed this notice
did you even read what I said
I said that you shouldn't be able to join the military until after the age of marriage, and that married men and those with children should be heavily discouraged from the military and be given non-combat roles in most cases

China is not at war and the PLA is the world's largest military by active personnel and 2nd largest by budget

@d0c40r0 @AlabasterBrick @madison @burner @DEERBLOOD Yup. And historically speaking it's always been 'when' not 'if' the armies are used.

@d0c40r0 @pepsi_man @AlabasterBrick @madison @burner @DEERBLOOD the Coast Guard was a traditional example of this, but if you look, they have units stationed all over the world now.

You really only want a small standing army and tons of reserves to spin up on an as needed basis, but really you have to hope your elites don't want an empire (your elites always want an empire)

an active territorial defense force will always be ideal

@d0c40r0 @AlabasterBrick @madison @burner @DEERBLOOD @pepsi_man it's the nature of how power works. The US is just a very loud example.
-
Embed this notice
that's because of the nature of the United States, not because of the nature of a territorial defense force

@d0c40r0 @AlabasterBrick @madison @burner @DEERBLOOD @pepsi_man and you expect that to continue?

I literally just gave an example of the country with the largest standing army that hasn't been to war in 50 years

@d0c40r0 @AlabasterBrick @madison @burner @DEERBLOOD @pepsi_man Everyone can understand that the reason China hasn't done anything after Korea is because they expected the US to not hold back if they stated anything. If we snapped our fingers and were able to replay history with no US army starting 1980, it's pretty obvious they would have militarily retaken taiwan.

I expect them not to get trampled into the dirt by mongolians, and at some point yes there will be a war but that's because there's always a war eventually you turbo nigger

war will always happen eventually, there is literally no country out there that exists because of anything other than war

@d0c40r0 @AlabasterBrick @madison @burner @DEERBLOOD @pepsi_man The military strength is certainly part of it. Economic ties are also certainly part of it.
But I think a large portion of it is their belief that the US would retaliate, which isn't really hinged on the military strength, but the willingness to use it.
A standing army makes a country more willing to enter a conflict, but the people of a country also effect this.

... so you're saying the United States having a standing army is preventing a war?

Never forget leaving on deployment and watching the families tearfully hug and 12 hours later see the same people jumping in the van heading for the local female rental house. The same sort of thing happened on the base as well after the men left. Made one lose lots of respect for humanity. Obviously not everyone did but enough to really drive the point home

I married Tyler when I was 18 and thought adultery was just a TV drama thing. I had no clue how degenerate people were, especially in the military. So much cheating and whoring around. It was sickening. Also military spouses were so petty and rude because of husband's rank. Like, it's your husband's title not yours lady! Tyler made rank really fast so he was the boss of a lot of men way older than us. The wives were so rude to me. When he changed commands I made zero effort to socialize.

The military wives I used to hang around always had terribly behaved children. Especially their boys. I always felt so sorry for the kids, not having their dads around 🥺😭 Tyler's old squadron would go on 9 months deployments. Gone 9, back 12

It took me a few years to grow some thick skin. I also had to mature and realized that I didn't have to be friends with my husband's shipmates' wives.
