I didn't like the ending where Malik's character was in a radio interview - no spoilers - because I've become cynical enough of hollyweird messaging that it felt manufactured and that the writers had Trump in mind.

I mean it was clear as day. You're not being cynical. It's why modern movies and docs about the Nazis are border line unwatchable. They can't help themselves.

I hope it crushes, is phenomenal, and proves us all wrong Nothing would make me happier than Star Wars getting back on track

100% agree. And this trailer was good.

Maybe we're back question

sad to see Disney revert to such an anti-science way of doing business.

Spot on. Been to both multiple times. And both are cleaner! A lot cleaner!

Charleston is for sure. Savannah's riverwalk and downtown area are definitely cleaner, but you dont want to stray too far out of that area really.

i love both towns.
dog whistle to the Nazis. disappointed in American Eagle. not very American, IMO
i guess TD is ok with posting blatant Nazi propaganda now

like we're supposed to believe ice can break iron? what do they think we are, saps?

I’m seeing this and Charleston on this topic and all I have to say is Y’all fricking wish y’all were similar to those cities haha. Dead arse wrong.

dont throw me in there with the New Orleans "yall". i live in Mandeville and have to come to this shithole every day. I hate New Orleans.

that said, I lived halfway between Savannah and Charleston for several years, and I think it is a valid comparison. but they are both WAY better than New Orleans for many reasons.

Savannah

Savannah is like if Charleston and New Orleans had a kid. you get a touch of the southern charm that Charleston has without the pretentiousness, and the party vibe from NOLA with less cultcha (but not a lot less)

she looks like a hot chick that got 18 years older. what are we talking about here? she still looks good, just older.

I just mean that your initial slightly unhinged takes usually end up being right lol
quote:

But you’re closer than I originally gave you credit for. I answered through my own bias filter. I was an army 11b so when I hear “military” I default to combat arms in my mind. In Iraq/Afghanistan, combat exposure felt common to me because for Army and Marine combat arms it was.

I’m a Marine with a CAR, so I share your perspective. But the original post I was responding to said “across the military” which is a LOT of people, only a small fraction of which have even deployed and among those an even smaller fraction has seen combat. Even during the peak of the GWOT, there were still huge amounts of military personnel that never went into Iraq or Afghanistan, let alone saw combat. Think of all those Airmen and sailors.

Your combat experience makes you very unique, and more so by the day.

Nah. The percentage is obviously lower now than most of the last 25 years, but CIB/CAB requirements are easier to meet than you might think, especially in the asymmetrical environments we seem to keep finding ourselves in.

maybe but there still aint no way 15% of the military will ever even come close to combat, even with the loosest definition.

We could let it play out or we could all do a rooaad.

99.9% of the time these two things end up being the same anyways
