Employing a Veteran

Photo by Benjamin Faust I decided to write this article based on the typical behaviour of the new entitled generation or “snowflakes” that are now in the workplace, giving managers like me a hard time. In my current role I am actively employing veterans and demonstrating the terrific benifits. I want to champion the benefits of employing a veteran. To keep things straight, I write this from…

[justinspoliticalcorner]

Malcolm Ferguson at TNR:

Trump’s transition team has a “warrior board” executive order ready for the president-elect’s desk.  An executive order draft is floating around MAGA world that would establish a Trump-appointed “warrior board” with the power to purge any three- or four-star generals as it sees fit. The board would send its dismissal recommendations to Trump and they would be acted upon within 30 days. The draft executive order, which was first reported on by The Wall Street Journal, makes it easy to quickly remove military officials “lacking in requisite leadership qualities” but leaves open the question of what those requisite qualities are. The executive order draws on General George C. Marshall’s 1940 creation of a “plucking board” led by retired general officers to “remove from line promotion any officer for reasons deemed good and sufficient.” But that plucking board was to uplift young officers with high potential, not to cull anyone not perfectly aligned with MAGA.  It’s not yet clear if Trump will sign the executive order, but Trump has held vitriol toward certain military leaders for some time now. 

The Trump Regime could order a fascistic purge of military leaders not aligned with Donald Trump’s anti-American vision that would turn the civilian nonpartisan military to a tool pledging loyalty to Trump über alles and not the Constitution.

A vote for Trump was essentially a vote for fascism, and this action is one of many bad things he would do to the fabric of the nation.

How Military Service Prepared Me For A Life Of Civic Engagement

The perspective you’ve gained from global deployments and working in diverse teams provides a breadth of understanding that can bridge divides and build stronger communities.

[wronggalaxy]

I'm genderqueer and AFAB but wish I was AMAB(especially since medical transition isn't a possibility for me) and I find it hilarious when people say "you should be grateful, if you were AMAB you'd have to sign up for the draft"

Hun, I'm disabled in multiple ways, currently have a long term injury, have seeked mental health help, and even outside of my disabilities couldn't pass a fitness test. I couldn't join the military if I wanted to.

[tanadrin]

I had to look up didius julianus after my wife proposed him as a cat namesake (to be fair, mostly bc it lends itself to the nickname “didi “), and I gotta say, buying the office of Roman emperor after the praetorian guard killed the last guy is just a phenomenally stupid move.

Another Magic card I saw in a dream and couldn't stop thinking about.

What is "an event occurring"? Well, in my dream when I played this card in Arena, it gave me like a thousand different options of things to happen. The only one I remember is making three 6/6 creature tokens. So yeah, it's a pretty strong card.

Even in my dream I knew it was busted, so much so that I woke up in the dream and, in the outer layer of the dream immediately went to look up if that card was actually real, which it still was.
