    If the appearance of commanders correlated with military strength, the US would be finished. 😆

        The abyss gets the hint immediately and looks away, visibly has a full body shiver a second later and exuses itself mumbling sound and then the abyss quickly clears its throat with a “sorry” to speak up and just says it has to go pick up a …thing and doesn’t look anyone in the eye or talk to anyone else or even fully tieing its shoelaces before weaseling out and closing the door very carefully to not make a noise

      I get what you’re saying, but the more direct comparison would be to the Chief of Staff of the Army, not the President.

      I gotta say, I spent a solid minute on Google Images trying to find a picture that made him look more badass than the professional headshot photo, but a good half of the images are him in readers.

        Ohln the other hand, the US had a bit of a military purge where they fired anyone competent enough to be a threat to them so I honestly wonder how well the US will do now on the battlefield

          I’ve been wondering how long it would take for the “lie to the pedophile and tell him we’re ready because he says we are” to get us to the same level of preparedness as Russia attacking Ukraine.

          Well this guy was the Vice Chief from 2022-2023 and became Chief in 2023. So that’s under the Biden administration, for what that’s worth.

      If you think he looks bad ass. Try taking a look at Thomas Rathsack. He is my fucking hero, and a danish special forces veteran.

        You wrote ‘Rathsack’.

        I read it as ‘Wrath-Sack’.

A community for discussing events around the World

Rules:

  • Rule 1: posts have the following requirements:

    • Post news articles only
    • Video links are NOT articles and will be removed.
    • Title must match the article headline
    • Not United States Internal News
    • Recent (Past 30 Days)
    • Screenshots/links to other social media sites (Twitter/X/Facebook/Youtube/reddit, etc.) are explicitly forbidden, as are link shorteners.
    • Blogsites are treated in the same manner as social media sites. Medium, Blogger, Substack, etc. are not valid news links regardless of who is posting them. Yes, legitimate news sites use Blogging platforms, they also use Twitter, Facebook, and YouTube and we don’t allow those links either.
  • Rule 2: Do not copy the entire article into your post. The key points in 1-2 paragraphs is allowed (even encouraged!), but large segments of articles posted in the body will result in the post being removed. If you have to stop and think “Is this fair use?”, it probably isn’t. Archive links, especially the ones created on link submission, are absolutely allowed but those that avoid paywalls are not.

  • Rule 3: Opinions articles, or Articles based on misinformation/propaganda may be removed. Sources that have a Low or Very Low factual reporting rating or MBFC Credibility Rating may be removed.

  • Rule 4: Posts or comments that are homophobic, transphobic, racist, sexist, anti-religious, or ableist will be removed. “Ironic” prejudice is just prejudiced.

  • Posts and comments must abide by the lemmy.world terms of service UPDATED AS OF OCTOBER 19 2025

  • Rule 5: Keep it civil. 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.

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.

  • Rule 6: Memes, spam, other low effort posting, reposts, misinformation, advocating violence, off-topic, trolling, offensive, regarding the moderators or meta in content may be removed at any time.

  • Rule 7: We didn’t USED to need a rule about how many posts one could make in a day, then someone posted NINETEEN articles in a single day. Not comments, FULL ARTICLES. If you’re posting more than say, 10 or so, consider going outside and touching grass. We reserve the right to limit over-posting so a single user does not dominate the front page.

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.
