Nice to see there are some military members who aren't so conditioned & brainwashed & beaten down, they can still see the ridiculousness of it all.

I've never claimed to be involved in the military. I just like degrading other men at work!

So you are in the military

How are you supposed to condition a human to go kill and die in a brutal onslaught, if you can't condition him to wear an uniform and shave?

You'd be surprised how much soldiers care about facial hair

Try getting a gas mask to seal properly with a beard. Just sayin

Would specialized velcro for beards help?

That's most of them, or at least the junior enlisted.

The military is actually packed with the kind of people you described. Just don't look in the NCO ranks, or field grade officers and above.

[–] LemmyKnowsBest 3 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Exactly. It's the lower enlisted people who haven't been in as long and aren't fully brainwashed & conditioned to the cult obedience mindset yet.

That and the guard!

Someone's bitter. You made the bed, now bounce a quarter off of it then drop and give me 50!

Sir, this is the Air Force...we don’t do that sort of thing.

The commute is only 20 minutes? Is that society or a utopia?

[–] ObviouslyNotBanana 3 points 1 year ago

They live on a military base and drive at 10 mph.
