Rules:

Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.

We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

It's crazy because it's nothing new.

Like, one of the first things they told us at my training command was random women from another country hitting us up on Facebook is because they either want to steal our money or get info, and the person on the other end is almost certainly not the one in the pictures.

It's literally one of the first things they told us out of boot camp, but we all had clearances too and they took security ridiculously seriously there.

But its a big way foreign countries figure out troop movements. Even a "I won't be able to chat till August 1st" can be valuable Intel. And lots of people will give up waaaaay more info without even thinking.

Even on the off chance she was legit, he's a complete fucking idiot for going to Russia. I'm guessing this is a case where he knew he shouldn't, so he didn't say anything to anyone else.

Because anyone in the military that heard his plans would have told him he was making a huge mistake.

My orders came through. My squadron ships out tomorrow. We're bombing the storage depots at Daiquiri at 1800 hours. We're coming in from the north, below their radar.

When will you be back?

I can't tell you that. It's classified.

It's amazing how a slight tingle in the penis can so quickly absorb and overtake the brain.

What are you wearing, by the way?
