This is kinda how I've come to look at it. You cannot ask questions of fact to a machine that works in probabilities.

Naw not 20 years ago, that's 2004. Here's an article from the Army talking about their introduction in 09, most Army units wouldn't have seen till 2010.
I was in the USMC so adding about 5 years till we got them tracks lol. I absolutely was taught in the school house with no confidence clip and I remember what country I was in when I got training on it in 14-15.
You wouldn't have remembered if it was 20 years ago. That clip was introduced recently, I remember where I was the first time I saw one and that would've been like 2015.
Check out my other comment but I'm pretty sure it's because of the confidence clip. There's actually an extra step where you sweep your thumb across the spoon to allow the pin to be removed from the grenade. After that yeah you probably could pull it with your teeth.... but if you fucked up and fumbled it you'd win the Darwin award.
Really the myth should be about cooking a grenade. Absolutely no way in fucking hell you'd ever trust that fuse to "actually" be 4 seconds. What if it's short and actually 3? And you wait to 2 to throw? Nooo way lmao
They're probably referring to the confidence clip. We used to tape the spoon to the grenade because if the pin got caught on your jacket, you'd have a really bad day. There's actually an extra step before you pull the pin where you sweep your thumb across the spoon to allow the pin to be pulled out. If you just grabbed a grenade and tried to rip the pin out with your teeth, without removing the confidence clip, you'd rip your teeth out.
Mullvad let's you write down an account number on a piece of paper and mail it in with cash and they'll activate it.
What do you mean? If it makes you feel any better, the Earth will be fine. Has been for a couple billion years. We did this to ourselves :(
The Marine Corps keeps his legacy. As one of only two Marines to earn the Medal of Honor twice, it's one of the things they force you to memorize. They yell out "Two Marines, Two Medals" and we'd all scream "Dan Daly and Smedly Butler sir". One of the first required readings I had when I got to my unit was "War is a Racket"; still got the book report somewhere lol
I just want to say, your work on that game absolutely would've contributed to making my high-school years better. Me and my social group played this game constantly, spent tons of hours playing SF Refinery 😂 From the bottom of my heart, thank you so much!!
I recall it being fully simulated. You had to walk into a class room and sit down and watch a like 45min (maybe? Idk this was over a decade ago) presentation on an overhead where an instructor went over a combat life saver course. You'd have a test to answer with multiple choice questions that you had to pass at the end lol

It took me a bit to find this video for anyone looking for it. The more I see interactions with Tim, really shows how wholesome of a person he is.
