Random News and Notes 29 March
Today is National Vietnam Veterans Day. There are commemorations happening nation-wide.
I’d like to take a second and thank those of you who fought over there personally. You didn’t get treated the way you should have, and despite me only being 5 when the last of the US troops left Nam, it has always seemed a stain on our national honor.
A video comparing the relative strength of the US and Canadian militaries is making the rounds. It’s 8ish minutes, but worth your time.
I should point out it is worse than the video makes it appear – as bad as that is. More than half of the Canadian equipment listed is unserviceable and the stuff that works is old.
This next one is an example of I watched so now you have to. During Saturday’s ‘No Kings’ protests against President Trump’s policies, Atlanta artist Jessica Blinkhorn staged her ‘DOGEWALKER’ performance art piece. A 12-second video shows her trailing figures on leashes amid palm trees and parked cars.
It looks like a cross between the Lord Humongous from the Road Warrior and Jabba the Hutt. We need to bring back public shaming. I think people calling this fat, retarded toad a fat, retarded toad in public, loudly, would Force her back where she belongs.
Epic Fury News
Yesterday I told you that the Iranians managed to hit a KC-135 tanker, well it got worse. They somehow managed to destroy an E-3 AWACS on the ground.
I am withholding comment at this point. I need more data before I spout off about this particular loss.
I’m not sure what to make of this one. While I am probably better informed about China than most, I am by no means a “China Watcher” and am incapable of parsing these types of news items out of CCP land.
