Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
- Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
- No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
That's all the rules!

You know I really thought the Marines in this situation would keep their heads and just...not comply. Pretty easy to just sit there and not do anything.
Not if you are in the military, they train men to follow orders, usually without question and under stress.
Good soldiers follow orders

Hey there, I've been trying to reach you about your chip's extended warranty!
They literally eat crayons, bro.
?
I’m could be wrong, but I think the military has an inside joke that marines are really dumb. Like they are really good soldiers but they are really stupid and would eat a crayon not noticing that it’s not food.
But I’m not in the military, so I could be way off.
So strange to me. In my personal life by chance, of my veteran friends, the Marines are the smartest by far. But bias bc most of them I know from my nerd high school, and other branches vets from non nerd life.
I don’t know where the joke originated but some marines now eat crayons for the meme
It’s really hard to keep your mental acuities about you after eating so many crayons.
That’s why you should join the Air Force
Anecdotally, service members are majority boot lickers. I'm going to baselessly claim that marines in particular are some of the worst, and that many sign up just for the title and the discount. 0 respect for these traitors.
They offered them a 64 box of Crayola. You really expect them to ignore that offer?
