Remember when live anthrax was “accidentally” mailed to Osan in 2015?
Where is the follow up? Was anyone incarcerated, charged, fired, demoted, disciplined? Is journalism asleep at the wheel again? Was it also part of gain-of-function research? Why do stories like this just die on the vine?
Mcgeehee, if the “guilty” party was in a protected group (by race, gender preference, religion, or political connections, they are as untouchable as the killers of Mary Jo Kopechne or Ashli Babbitt.
Or that certain, well-placed politician who stored beyond Top Secret State Department emails on an unsecured private server in a bathroom.
Or the sons and daughters of politicians that, well, you know who I mean and what they did in the Ukraine, in Portland, OR, in Seattle, WA, and in Minneapolis, MN…
Then ask yourself how long you think the first group of terrain-following stealth drones will be visible before they shoot all the radars in the main strike package’s path and a couple diversionary paths.
USA, China, Japan, and Russia already have advanced drones and advanced anti-radar technology. Even North Korea probably has the capability to shoot at radars, if not the latest stealth aircraft.
Why are you trumpeting something that Korea will never be able to deploy successfully in their own defense? Who will buy it and help the nation recoup the huge R&D costs?
You should look for things that help ordinary Korean people instead of expensively wasteful things that enrich the military-industrial complex on the backs of already-suffering taxpayers.
Whose side are you really on? Why can’t you be for Korea instead of giant corporations?
Perhaps a better way is to praise Korean scientists and ask what they’re doing to make highways safer? Perhaps affordable anti-collision radar technology for automobiles could save thousands of lives every year…
They are still kicking the “likely drugged” dead horse.
Established clubs have far too much to lose by drugging customers just to make a normal week’s profit in one night.
That is an unsustainable business model… as it is so easily undone by a simple drug test.
Fùck the military’s Blame The Club mentality.

The gap between the Vaccine Haves and the Vaccine Have Nots grows a little bit wider.
It is your right to refuse the vaccine. It is our right to make you live on bread and water in a box.
Oppressing those who exercise their right is a right denied.
“Unvaccinated soldiers should not expect ‘business as usual’ summer leave, says Fort Campbell general
CLARKSVILLE, TN (CLARKSVILLE NOW) – Fort Campbell soldiers choosing not to receive a COVID-19 vaccine could find their plan for summer leave affected, according to Commanding General JP McGee.
In a livestreamed town hall event, Maj. Gen. McGee announced that soldiers choosing to remain unvaccinated should not “not consider things business as usual,” when making travel plans this summer.
“It would be irresponsible of me to allow soldiers to travel unvaccinated throughout the United States and bring that back and have an impact on our soldiers, their families and our overall operational readiness. I’m sure that’s not gonna be a popular decision for some, and that’s quite alright,” McGee said.
McGee said he and his staff are considering a range of options, including limited range of travel and increased reporting requirements for soldiers; however, no final decisions have been made as to restrictions.
Soldiers who are fully vaccinated should expect more freedom of travel, according to McGee’s update.
“If you are a vaccinated soldier and you’ve received 2 vaccines, you’re at incredibly low risk of contracting the virus and bringing it back. You pose minimal to no risk. For them, they’ll be able take leave unhindered and with no additional requirements. For those soldiers that choose, as is their right, to not take the vaccine, we will prudently apply measures of how we will make sure you are able to travel safely,” McGee said.
A person is considered fully vaccinated two weeks after having received two doses of either the Pfizer or Moderna vaccines, according to the Major General’s update .”

They are still kicking the “likely drugged” dead horse.
Mike grew up in Miami, with a crazy (older) sister.
One night a friend’s parents called his home and said his sister had been drugged.
She had gone out to many bars…and oh my! Through all that power drinking someone had slipped her a roofie! (these drugs all seem to appear during power drinking, it’s strange…)
They took her to the hospital and her blood alcohol level was off the charts.
Doctor said, “Well, her blood alcohol level is pretty on par with her behavior…”
They did the drug test. No roofie. Shocker.
He was about 15 then.
Every time a similar story comes up (or did) he always said, “gee why don’t they do a drug test to see what type of roofie it was?”
More often than not, the person refuses the drug test.

Plot Twist:
They didn’t refuse the drug test because they were self aware enough to know they just drank too much.
They refuse the drug test because they were worried it would show the joint they smoked last weekend and perhaps the toot of crank they shared with the stripper.

There I was … Osan AB, ~ 1988: I was an E5 working for an E6. We’d frequently drink in the ville. During every outing, he made an early trip to the head. He would return to our table or seat at the bar, take a sip, and ask if someone put something in his drink because “it tastes funny”. This happened e-v-e-r-y time. It never occurred to me why he always asked that.
1989. He PCS’d to Homestead where he popped positive for cocaine during a random urinalysis. His alibi? Someone put something in his drink. That didn’t fly for a second. They re-tested him, same results, and was quickly discharged.

Did you use some of that lidocaine lotion to last longer every night before you teabagged his drink?
Are you circumcised?
Been treated for AIDS or other STDs?
Had warts removed? From where? Exactly?
Been treated for anxiety or depression?
Yeah? what the phukk’s your problem?
Have a dick so tiny it looks a newborn’s?
Is that why I NEVER see you shower in the gym? Pencil-dick.
How often do you masterbate?
Ever had a hemorrhoidectomy?
Ever have something dug out of your butt that shouldn’t have been there?
If so, what was it, and how’d it get there, johnhenry?
What prescriptions are you on? Why?
Are you willing to show me all your medical records?
If not, then don’t ask me again if I had the phukking shot.

They’ll get around this by requiring all vaccinated persons to have a mark on their right hand or forehead.
When the FDA grants emergency use authorization for a vaccine, many questions about the product cannot be answered. Given the open questions, when Congress granted the authority to issue EUAs, it chose to require that every individual should be allowed to decide for himself or herself whether or not to receive an EUA product. The FDA and CDC apparently consider this fundamental requirement of choice important enough that even during the height of the Covid-19 pandemic they reinforced that policy decision when issuing their guidance related to the Covid-19 vaccines.
This means that an organization will likely be at odds with federal law if it requires its employees, students or other members to get a Covid-19 vaccine that is being distributed under emergency use authorization. (snip)
Organizations are free to encourage vaccinations through internal communications, through educational events, and through other measures to urge employees to be vaccinated. They can take these measures so long as: (1) they are not viewed as coercive, (2) the organization makes clear the decision regarding whether to receive the vaccine is voluntary, and (3) the measures comply with the requirements in the EUAs and the related regulations for these products.

One other thing re the vaccine…
from the look of things, people who get the vaccine still catch the virus. They are less symptomatic, however (or entirely unsymptomatic).
Didn’t we just close businesses and schools for this very reason? Asymptomatic carriers? And isn’t everyone (ostensibly) wearing masks for this actual reason too?
“It’s not for you, you might be a carrier! Wear that mask!”
So where does the vaccine fit into this?
