Maggie’s Funny & awesome pics, vids and memes thread (work safe, no nudity)

Stop me if I’ve told this before. My team and a team of Recondos were on top of Bach Ma, We were supposed to run patrols down of the top, to prepare for an insertion of both Battalions (506 and 1/327). Turned to shit right away. Huge cloud sat on us all day and all night for two weeks. When we were set down there, a Chinook left us a pallet of C Rations and a water buffalo as in the picture. After two weeks water was getting low, maybe half a tank, so we started rationing it, in case we had another two weeks of fog. It stretched on. One night our LT was taking a short walk to the water point, and heard some splashing. He climbed up on the tank, and looked down into the hatch, with his penlight. There was a Recondo private swimming around in there, taking a bath! All hell broke loose.
“Sergeant of the Guard!”, he shouted. Several of us including the E7 from both teams came running. The poor kid was standing in the hatch dripping wet, nekid, and scared shitless. The Recondo LT cam up, and ordered his E7 to take the idiot to their CP. We were in a fix.
One of our issues was that previous residents of the hill top, mostly ARVN’s had ringed the hill top with booby traps and never taken them out. There were literally hundreds! We only ran one patrol, due to both that and the heavy fog, which persisted down about 3,000 ft for the hill top. On that patrol we had found a small creek, so we took every canteen and both teams made a patrol in force, to refill all of them. We did that once every three days, until the clouds broke, and they swapped out the water tanker. And left us there for two more weeks. This was like late December of 68.
My FIL was 173rd, part of the only combat jump in Vietnam

Had some crazy stories like this, including guys “playing” with a cobra on a patrol.

You never know if the old guy you see was at one time a certified badass.

You know... the IRA is still alive and well. And if they dig up their weapons and oil them up... and decide that they can live with the Protestants long enough to exterminate the muzzies off their island... It would be TV worth watching.

Just 'sayin.

Hey Sinn Fein. We have an idea for applying your talents.

Muslims: Me against my brother. Me and my brother against my cousin. Me, my brother and my cousin against all Christians.

Irish. Me against the Protestants. Me and the Protestants against the English. Me, the Protestants and the English against the filthy muzzies.

This has real merit! C'mon PIRA... let's get that game on and start making meat pies out of muzzies.

You do know that Sinn Fein is a socialist party and has always stood for a united socialist Ireland, don't you? Do you also know that Sein Fein was part of the Irish Government that has been letting all the Muzzies in. They made a pivot last year after losing their working-class base, and their language is about having a "fair" immigration policy, not booting the muzzies out. So, the usual nuanced crap that means they will continue to sell the Irish people out.

You are sadly very naive about modern Irish politics if you actually believe what you wrote.

Gives real meaning to the meme.

Aimed not at the typical man of Snipershide, but those who aim their little pop guns sideways and more often than not only kill air

They definitely aligned themselves with the Sov-block to get weapons and training and support.
But my take on them was that they were parroting socialism as a Way to free Ireland from colonialism… and that their socialist leanings were going to last as long as it took to get shit from the Warsaw pact.

Plus aligning themselves with the “soft on the IRA” British Labor party was a way to try and influence the British government… and was working until Thatcher and the Conservatives stomped on Labor in 1980. As long as they were all Democratic socialists” the Brit Lbor party would forgive them and support them.

So… yeah… that was sort of the schtick. But I don’t think they were that committed. Most of the footsoldiers just wanted to kill the British. They never heard of Marx. They were Irish and that was that.

And don’t forget that the Irish aligned the the Nazi’s in WW2 because they were promised autonomy after Hitler took the British isles. So they were Nazi’s too. Or maybe just were willing to say anything to anyone to get what they wanted… which was money and weapons to kill the British.

Sort of like a French Whore who wil sell anything to anyone. Like Exocets. But that’s another story.

Long way of saying you aren’t wrong, but I take it with a big grain of salt. And a lot of Guinness!!

None of that history has any bearing in the fact that they were part of the government that opened the doors to muzzie immigration a few years ago. That is more than 20 years after the Good Friday Accords. If it walks like a globalist & talks like a globalist, it's a globalist.

They are behaving like any other social democrat party in Europe in that regard. Which makes them - Socialist! Tada, it's like a magic trick.

How to know your company is counting pens and watching your lunch break

Sounds like the person IS financially sound. If the vehicle is functional why replace it? Spending 50K dollars for something that sits in the company parking lot or the driveway at home for 18 hours out of every day is a waste of money. Putting the 50K into an investment account is the best way to use the money. I don't need a new car to impress people today if I walk out of the company with an early retirement at 50 years old and debt free.
