So to evade the ww3 draft I just have to eat a lot of cheeseburgers. Got it

That's the power of the E-4 mafia. Troops overweight? Not on paper they aren't.

[–] lightnsfw@reddthat.com 7 points 6 days ago

Why didn't they check their weight beforehand and save the money on shipping them around....

When Texas sends its people, they’re not sending their best. They’re not sending you. They’re not sending you. They’re sending people that have lots of problems, and they’re bringing those problems with us. They’re bringing drugs. They’re bringing crime. They’re rapists. And some, I assume, are good people.

We really need to build a very high, thick, strong wall around Texas. And make Texas pay for it. If you elect me President. I will make sure we build the wall!

[–] NutWrench@lemmy.ml 2 points 6 days ago

And then toss a bunch of guns over the wall and wait for the sounds of shooting to die down.

[–] beerclue@lemmy.world 23 points 1 week ago

It doesn't have to be that high...

[–] Lost_My_Mind@lemmy.world 9 points 1 week ago

Wow. Doing retro trump roasts. Back when the outrage had such less at stake....

[–] resipsaloquitur@lemmy.world 61 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Everything’s bigger in Texas.

[–] FuglyDuck@lemmy.world 28 points 1 week ago (2 children)

Except their dicks. S’why they compensate so much, with all their guns and general assholeishness.

[–] SaveTheTuaHawk@lemmy.ca 1 points 6 days ago

These guys haven't actually seen their dicks in years.

I can’t imagine a lady not being satisfied by a conspicuously large belt buckle and a lifted truck.

[–] FuglyDuck@lemmy.world 9 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Well, those kinds of ladies tend to buy their own, heh.

[–] otter@lemmy.dbzer0.com 5 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Yeah, along with rechargeable batteries. 🤌🏼

[–] azimir@lemmy.ml 4 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Which is why Texas (state of freedum) regulates owning said devices. Can't let women actually experience happiness.

[–] Rcklsabndn@sh.itjust.works 2 points 6 days ago (1 children)

Women can only experience happiness when it is legally meted out by an eligible man. /S

[–] Fedizen@lemmy.world 4 points 6 days ago

Those are banned in texas, too.

[–] sundray@lemmus.org 50 points 1 week ago (1 children)

The men should not be in the National Guard. They are clearly ICE material.

Gravy Seals, Meal Time Six, Operation Dessert Storm.

[–] Fedizen@lemmy.world 2 points 6 days ago

This is how you can enlist fellow patriots like Jimmy John and Jersey Mike to get out of having to point guns at your fellow citizens on the whim of some grotesque madman.
