Camp Defeated Confederate General
For anyone who doesn't get the reference, Shelby Park was named after Confederate general and famous coward Joseph O. Shelby, who turned and ran down to Mexico instead of surrender to the Union. He and his men are, ludicrously, known as "The Undefeated" and not, much as suggested above for the camp, a bunch of little piss babies.
I’m curious. Has anyone tried to explain that running away from a fight constitutes a defeat?
I’ve never been defeated at Monopoly because I flip the board.
Flipping the board is considered concession.
It’s a more dramatic version of tipping the king over. Also the reason I always beat a certain uncle in risk. Mom’s family…. Board games are forbidden,
Took me a little parsing to decipher your meaning in the last sentence, but I agree with you. They should be referred to as a bunch of little piss babies.
It's easy to remain undefeated when you don't fight.
For example, I am undefeated in heavyweight boxing, MMA, and cheese rolling.
Fort Asshole.
Command Post Magic Legs
Prop storage.
I though that Fort Polk already had that title?
I... wouldn't know.
but I read that as Fort Poke and was trying to figure out if we were still talking about Texas...
Dark Biden: "... and then I'll nationalize them!"
I thought he was Brandon when he goes dark.
Yeah, I got that wrong.
Nationalize them, and send them to guard Minot AFB from those pesky Canadians.
The fuck is happening? Why hasn’t Biden nationalized them, is it an election gambit?
F Troop, assemble!
Does anyone know the provenance of the land? The best I’ve been able to find is generic stuff along these lines.
The Texas Military Department acquired 80 acres of land in Eagle Pass
The 3rd Amendment would be a stretch but still plausible if eminent domain were used to acquire the land used to quarter these soldiers.
If you think they care about laws you aren't paying attention.
The closest to a 3A case I know of was when a guy had his house used as a base for a hostage situation and the officers trashed the place. It was thrown out if I recall correctly.
