im really glad there was a naval battle, I thought it was stupid that both fleets could be so close in the blackwater and not fight one another

this show is so fucked. Pretty sure D&D knows their fan base so well that they realized they could show a solid 3 minutes of people shitting and still get critical acclaim. Mary Sue Stormborn gets to shit on stannis a little more of course. I don't know if I can handle a whole new season of endless dany worship.

you can show displeasure without needing to use that language.

I'm not exactly sure yet. I've read quite a bit and spoken to some officers. The officer that guided me through the whole process was a lietenant colonel in the Field Artillery, which is the one I'm leaning towards right now.

well first you're gonna have to learn to type lieutenant right

Oops I typed it on my phone and relied on autocorrect.

SCHOLARSHIP REVOKED

Just got a Reserve Officer Training Corps scholarship to some schools. The US government pays for my full tuition in exchange for my serving as an officer for four years after college.

Also still waiting to hear back from the US Military Academy. I have congressional nominations and all the right qualifications, but nothing is ever certain with service academies.

Regardless I'll undergo light military training in college and join as an officer after I get a degree.

I am by no means a Soviet apologist. I hate communism and all the regimes that attempted to implement it. That being said, there is an important distinction to be made between Nazi Germany and Soviet Russia: the average Russian had a shit life under the Soviet regime, reminiscent of life under the Czar, while the average German enjoyed many benefits in Nazi Germany. 

A German in 1940 was most likely very happy with their situation, and didn't mind the fact that his nations armies were trampling upon the rights of every nation in Europe, while an entire ethnic group was being slowly disenfranchised. They are complicit because they benefited, and there's no getting around that.

Also, like I said before, it's idiotic to decry Soviet atrocities. Germany punched, the soviets just punched back harder. It's as if I punched you, then you punched me harder, and I accused you of war crimes.

And by the way June, posting pictures of dead bodies with a sarcastic message does not immediately invalidate my point.

You do understand that the Soviets where going to attack Germany like a few weeks before Germany attacked the Soviets right? The Germans got intel that the soviets where ramping up production on tanks and where preparing to invade Europe as they did before against Poland to turn Europe into a communist land.

I have heard information to that effect before, but your own source casts doubt on its validity, and it seems like a cheap attempt to justify Germany's actions.

Even if Stalin was planning an invasion, a preemptive strike would be justified, but not a wholesale genocide and policy of ethnic cleansing.

One of the more humorous claims of German apologists is that Germans were enlisting and fighting for the defense of their fatherland and to defend themselves from soviet atrocity. Before the Soviets could commit a single atrocity against the Germans, the Germans were the ones who actually invaded the Soviet Union with the goal of exterminating its Slavic population and clearing it for Lebensraum. It's idiotic to pin any significant atrocities on the Soviets, as they were the ones that were invaded, endured 20,000,000 casualties, and suffered through an invading army attempting to exterminate their entire ethnicity.

The Geneva Convention was thrown in the trash by Hitler on the Eastern Front. He cared little for it, and there are frequent accounts of Wehrmacht units executing civilian populations. One such is from an Italian journalist who accompanied a Wermacht unit and wrote multiple books on his experiences with them.

The british army is so outdated. They still use lee enfields and shitty variations of the sten gun. Even their more modern guns are garbage, bulpup shit stains on weapon design. If they had been less arrogant and gone with foreign weapons that actually work, then maybe they wouldn't have lost in afghanistan.

This along with their low requirements and training are the reason why they lost in ww2 and had to be saved by their own ex colony. UK used to be an OK country, but now it's full of incompetent asshats. Just look at brexit.

You can probably trace this problem right down to the root of the collapse of the british empire.

A shoe is an item of footwear intended to protect and comfort the human foot while doing various activities. Shoes are also used as an item of decoration. The design of shoes has varied enormously through time and from culture to culture, with appearance originally being tied to function. Additionally, fashion has often dictated many design elements, such as whether shoes have very high heels or flat ones. Contemporary footwear varies widely in style, complexity and cost. Basic sandals may consist of only a thin sole and simple strap. High fashion shoes may be made of very expensive materials in complex construction and sell for thousands of dollars a pair. Other shoes are for very specific purposes, such as boots designed specifically for mountaineering or skiing.

Traditionally, shoes have been made from leather, wood or canvas, but are increasingly made from rubber, plastics, and other petrochemical-derived materials.

Hitler and the Nazi Party were objectively evil in all aspects. They were unilaterally more evil than the Soviet Union, and every German in Germany was complicit in their actions and cannot be absolved of blame. There was no honorable defense of fatherland by any German soldiers, Wehrmacht or SS. Only objectively evil and greedy territorial ambition.
