While I understand your point, it's impossible to permanently end piracy so that the seas are safe without an escort, combating piracy is directly defending our tangible interests (rather than being some kind of proxy war over ideology), and protecting merchants in perpetuity was always one of the main purposes of the US Navy. Houthi ships are an acceptable target of our weaponry
Usually an enthusiastically stupid answer.
Just because Trump is in the whitehouse again, doesn't mean America's identity crisis is solved. We literally have no idea how to act if there isn't some brown people wearing dresses in the desert to bomb. We get all antsy n shit. Like a crackhead who hasn't had a puff in a few hours.
Sounds like it's working
Good thing the legitimate yemen government is preparing to invade Houthi controlled areas
I call it the "parting gift" vote. They really hate their grandkids.
So investigating them like a private sector company would, would probably be beneficial
Anecdotally, I follow a lolcow named Lucas Gage who is on 100 percent disability who claims to be completely disabled with PTSD but spends his time obsessing about Jews. He can obviously focus and work as evidenced by long blogposts and his frequent trips to the gym, he just doesn't because he tricked the VA.
The worst part is that guys with legitimate disabilities get low ratings as they’re more likely to be honest. Lose your legs? 50% disabled, you still have your arms.
A lot of old Canadians are ex-hippy types who think that anything anti-America is cool while failing to consider how shitty their own country is. Another part considers Liberals to be the default Canadian ‘patriotic’ party because of muh Trudeau legacy bullshit that doesn’t even apply anymore.
Tinnitus can theoretically be measured because it is caused by actual physical phenomenon, but the medical community develops at such a slow pace that this will never be used to verify claims of tinnitus for maybe a century or more, if ever.
I would imagine that tinnitus is probably one of the most common conditions that one would obtain from something involving explosions.
the US Military issues better hearing protection than I’ve ever used.
I'm close with someone who processes mortgage documents. Specifically, VA (Veterans Affairs) and FHA loan docs. VA loan packages contain the applicant's military and income records, including discharge papers and some VA medical information. Enough to get a pretty accurate picture of their time in the service and their income from VA disability.
I bet if people looked it up, tinnitus is most common in soldiers, construction workers, foundry folks, ship breakers maybe. Music people get this all the time. Shit is loud, and hearing doesn't really come back. But i don't have the data in front of me. Out of all the fallacious claims, I bet tinnitus is used because sure its unfalsifiable, but also its a pretty common thing that makes life worse.
I know an ex IAF F16 technician who used to work in extremely loud conditions. He never had any issue with tinnitus. The only reason I can think of to have tinnitus now is if you're in combat and unable to wear hearing protection.
Shaniqua abuses EBT/SNAP to get gibs: Republicans outraged and demand answers
Agreed, I just think it’s probably false a lot of the time. One easy thing to check is if the claims are coming from combat vets who were actually exposed to loud things happening. It should be almost impossible to claim it just from training and paperwork or potato peeling
