    how embarrassing is it that these people can only interpret the world in good vs. evil pop culture references. even the penultimate paragraph sounds like a cheesy speech you’d hear in a superhero movie.

    also lol at contacting your congressman like “excuse me Sir. I’m a voter, so please send weapons, tanks & jets to Ukraine.” it’s like a child’s understanding of how this country works

        Make sure to ask your congressman for a Lockheed Martin®️ Life-Ruiner™️ Predator Drone today, specifically Mark III with serial number RS16363729. I get commission every time somebody buys one…

        I mean, for our heroic friends in Ukraine. Yeah, those guys.

          What is it with Yankee gear and these pretentious names, anyway?

            It’s like monster truck style fetishism at this point with the goofy ass names these war weapons have. Gravedigger! Phoenix! Devastator! REAPER! Dumb as shit, like children thought of them.

      People who face no real adversity create fictional adversity. I am not endorsing masochism by any measure but there is something that happens when you are too comfortable in life and it’s this bullshit.

    Just wanted to say the guy don’t even know his book. Men beheaded by Sauron army were not members of the Citadel Guard, those did not left the upper level of Minas Tirith before the siege, especially not with a paranoid Denethor. Also it did worked, Minas Tirith garrison was on their last legs morale wise, even though Gandalf was there and did the morale tricks which were his specialty. Rohan riders did not even seen the heads and they were whipped into basically suicidal frenzy anyway by Theoden and generally everyone there being in total doomer mode. Aragorn shown with an army of undead, something being glossed over even in the book, not even Sauron ever had an army of undead ffs, remember how everyone were freaking in book one because cairn wraith and now there was entire army of them.

      Because in the book he didn’t. The ghost army was released after destroying the Umbari army south of Minas Tirith, thus reliving the local garrison which joined the Grey Host of Aragorn and then fough on the Pelennor fields. No undead at Minas Tirith in the book, side from the Nazgul.

    I didn’t know US citizens could just call their congressman and request an Abrams tank, but it does seem very American

      "Called my congressman

      And he said, quote:

      I’d love to help you, son

      But you’re too young to vote"
