This U.S. Marine is pushing through the wilderness during the intense 4th Marine Division Super Squad 2019 competition at Joint Base Elmendorf-Richardson, Alaska.

Days of pure grit, endurance, and teamwork – proving that when the going gets tough, the Marines just keep going.

Bagram is an airbase in Afghanistan, has little to do with the energy industry and the US state of Alaska is about 5,602 miles (9,015 km) from Afghanistan.

If he meant the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge (ANWR), he’s also wrong since it is estimated to have less than 12 billion barrels of oil while Saudi Arabia has proven reserves of 267 billion barrels.

He should be nowhere near any decisions made about military or energy; he apparently doesn’t have the ability to know what they are.

Ive always wanted a pair of combat boots to wear but ive never found any at thrift stores….. however i have a pair of bunny boots that i think are much cooler (pun intended).. i love walking around in my 10lb big ol boots with a pressure valve so that my feet don’t explode in high elevations

My gender complex goes back 3 generations and through two queer women and their family trauma, I feel like I know what I'm talking about. We know a thing or two because we've seen a thing or two.

i didnt want to put this in my prev reblogs tags but like

my dad was a us army soldier that went to Iraq, and for a long time i thought he did good over there, or at least tried. like my mom said that he had locals thank him personally for his help. though now i wonder if he’s just, lying about all that. bc not only did he literally Come Back Wrong after his third deployment, over the years he slowly opens up about shit he deliberately never told me, like the time he and a few other soldiers were left for dead by his group, and he only survived because the locals helped him, if im remembering right. however, i wonder how true that all is, or rather does that make up for the other heinous shit he’s responsible for. i remember him telling me passively he tortured a man. so i Know he has skeletons in his closet, i know for a fact there’s shit he will take to his grave.

all those times i prayed for my dad to survive and come back home, was that at the expense of innocent Iraqis? could my dad dying out there saved someone? I’ll never know for sure, but it kinda points to that doesn’t it?
