    With their esports stuff, the Army must think that g*ming is a good sector to recruit from. I wonder why though. Maybe g*mers are reactionary or maybe because the army has so much money at their disposal they can throw it at stupid shit like this.

    Here here

    Though they did release in 2015 how a lot of the drone pilots based out of New York were getting post-traumatic stress disorder from executing people as their day job

    I dread the day when they’re able to exchange the pixels of people on their screens into space invaders or some kind of shit like this

      Obligatory US soldier pasta:


      You see american choppers in the bright blue sky, hundreds and hundreds of screaming american soldiers drop from it, you look across the field and see the tanks rolling in. You hear a loud explosion and realise that the shrine you have protected for thousands of years with tooth and nail is destroyed by the empire, you come to the realisation that this is very probably the end of your people who’ve struggled to survive all these centuries.You realise that very soon there is going to be a river of blood of your people here; white phosphorus and depleted uranium will be shot very soon, deforming babies for decades to come, and millions of your people are gonna be killed. Your millennia old language and religion will be wiped out, you’re very likely the last of your kind.

      Suddenly, an American soldier kicks you down, puts his foot on your neck and aims his standard ar-15 on the side of your head all while screaming; you realise you’re gonna die, and you won’t have to see the destruction of your community that you fostered so carefully all these centuries for.

      Just before he pulls the trigger, you think to yourself, “To be fair to him, he probably had a low GPA in highschool and didnt have a health-care, those are notoriously hard to get in America”.

        I agree with the sentiment

        Don’t get me wrong I wasn’t trying to humanise US soldiers who signed up to either A)murder people or B) Assist in murdering people

        I was only showing they profoundly damage their own health even when they’re in the safety of an air conditioned office in new york
