The idle musings of a former military man, former computer geek, medically retired pastor and now full-time writer. Contents guaranteed to offend the politically correct and anal-retentive from time to time. My approach to life is that it should be taken with a large helping of laughter, and sufficient firepower to keep it tamed!

Memes that made me laugh 248
Gathered from around the Internet over the past week. Click any image for a larger view.
The Catturd one is hysterical. I was reading a Lib. substack and comments this w/e and that is exactly what they are afraid of. Musk robbing the treasury, crashing the economy to enrich the oligarchs and destroy the middle class and poor because Repubs. can't "build back better". God, I love memes.
"China is too smart to allow itself to be invaded."
The city of Nanking and the former province of Manchukuo would like a word with you about your appalling lack of any historical education.
And you should punch your history teachers in the throat and demand a refund of all tuition paid on your behalf by any one during your K-12 years, including the state.
Would it have helped if he appended the implicit "again" to his statement? Because he didn't say "China has never been invaded ever, they're too smart for that" or "China had always been too smart to allow themselves to be invaded." I thought it was pretty clear he was talking about modern China, and their strict controls on immigration etc.
The Mars one is how H. Beam Piper wrote Paratime and I get a kick out of the USMC manual on exotic dancer operations. That could be like Herman Wouk's fake German general's memoirs in Winds of War about the US Army and his revulsion for them because the stupid morons never read their own doctrine and certainly never practice it. All good!
That last one has some serious possibilities... Nah, who am I kidding.
ReplyDeleteThe marine manual has at least 84 other tomes. And had been revised at least 3 or 4 times.

ReplyDeleteThat last one's a joke. China is too smart to allow itself to be invaded.

ReplyDeleteI got a Meritorious Unit Citation for participating in Exotic Dancer 4 (1972). Don’t even ask me about ExDan 1, 2 or 3.
