The advocacy group Hots&Cots says it collected the photos from anonymous service members to push the Pentagon to fix living conditions in military housing.
Wait till you see the school system, or the prison system
, right?
This reminds me how "military-grade" tends to indicate the lowest possible quality
iirc military grade was more meant for being able to be used in the extreme ends of temperatures (e. g blazing desert and frozen tundra) which many typical devices would fail to work in. it later devolved into a marketing term that doesnt really mean anything.
With regards to electronic components, it had to do with tight tolerances (at one time), EMP shielding, and wide temperature operating range.
Military grade boots just means it’ll permanently fuck up your feet in four years tho
it is often the most expensive because of sweetheart deals and bidding fuckery, and that counts in Burgerland!
It's so funny how much abuse boots take but they never frag their COs over it.
They are truly housebroken, it's easier to just keep your mouth shut until your discharge
And even after you’re discharged, you don’t disrespect the military or the country it protects. You just complain about “politicians” and “businessmen,” which is fair, but it’s the same logic as bad apples.
If you think our barracks or on post housing are bad, wait until you see the inside of Ft. Leavenworth.
Also, kill the CO's all you want, there's literally an army full of LT's waiting for their chance to get an extra shiny bar and sit in the big chair.
Military prison is terrifying
It’s especially funny when they become veterans and complain about “the government” mistreating their soldiers. Never criticizes the officers or generals, and never criticize the military as an institution. It’s just politics that’s sending our boys to die and letting them drink rusty water and hazed.
I think it's the difference between being drafted into a fucked conflict versus signing up willingly (which means you likely get a variety of very weird as Hell personality types), that and also indoctrination happens big time on bases with boots told to "tough it up"
It's almost like the trillion a year we spend is going somewhere else
much the same way as privatized healthcare is working out
I'm crying. Guys, we must spend a few more trillion on the troops. We simply must.
How are these guys the head of an empire
They are the feet?
Worlds most expensive military
With worse toilets and food preparation
critical support to comrade black mold
Jesus christ we really do have an emoji for everything...
It is almost as if the empire doesn't give a shit about their pawns.
Laughs in Halliburton
Critical support once again to our comrade mold
Fuck I immediately scroll down and someone has made this joke already
it's literally their job to keep the barracks clean what the fuck are these boots complaining about
Didn’t know we had a Sergeant Major here lol
Oh, that's not a cup of coffee
When scrolling I thought this post was from a coffee community I'm subbed to before I read the title.
they should drone strike the mold
Hahaha skill issue
The Rowling curse has struck the US military
Millions must die
Brown water?
You mean coffee? /s

How awful! They deserve worse!
Lol, probably the least of their worries, virmin, terrible (likely carcinogenic) water, and mold are all standard in barracks.
While I was on my second deployment, we got word that our barracks were finally being renovated. Primarily to remove the asbestos...
We were also fed a line that the rooms would have increased square footage which would allow more senior enlisted to have less or even no roommates. This was a concrete building with a fixed number of rooms... At a barracks that was already at max capacity. Somehow they thought that more space in the rooms would make that math work out. 🤷♀️
Anyway, when we got back they actually recessed the doors into the rooms, decreasing the square footage of all the rooms. Yeah...
Is this a new round of these, or connected to the stories released a year or so ago.
Oh no, the baby killers are uncomfortable
Poison those troops 👏
