I wish I could be as optimistic as he is but this isn’t the america we all grew up in. It’s been going downhill for years and the Chinese virus is the nail in the coffin. America will not recover if we don’t get it together by the end of the month. Hell the damage done already may be too much to overcome.

Y’all continue to do what the government tells you to do. They know what’s best for us.

I was always amazed at the soldiers that rose to the challenge. It was rarely the PT kings or the self-avowed meat-eaters that turned out to be the hard men. What someone is like in civies or in garrison is often the complete opposite of what they are like when the shite hits the fan. You simply can't judge the mettle of a man until he is tested in the crucible.

Because taking an incredibly complex problem and translating it into coach speak is so hilariously simple. I guess his target audience eats that shite up. But outside of that, the rest of the world is probably wondering what in the actual frick storming Normandy has to do with eliminating a novel virus. And the answer is nothing - it's just an empty "rah rah let's go!" pep talk that has no substance.

I guess when people are scared they don't care if substance is there or not, they just want people blindly saying that everything is going to be okay, because, well....Normandy!
