As everyone knows, “True warfighters instilled with the warfighting ethos, however, know that a warfighting ethos is only at its warfighting ethos-iest when warfighters are fighting a war on boredom. And here among the embattled mulch beds of D.C., cousin, boredom is ah-boomin.”

Im gonna be honest... this looks like pretty standard weeds and seeds to me. For those of us who have been in, the amount of times that weve had a rake, mop, or some other garden tool can exceed a rifle in some jobs. You ever sweep sun? A grunt has.

“But who needs optimism — or even general mission directives — when one has earned the privilege of making rake and mulch as much a part of their being as their own beating heart?”

Neat, no ICE @m1garandalf.bsky.social

As someone who served in active duty and National Guard I can tell you that these soldiers are absolutely not happy doing what they're doing. Some probably really needed the money as is usual in the National Guard, but not one single soldier I've ever met wanted to go rake leaves.

Right? People often ask about my time in the service and my reply is always "Long periods of utter boredom punctuated by brief moments of sheer terror, proving the axiom that that which doesn't kill you makes you stronger."

Do you guys get it yet?? Trump HATES our military. He has shown it over and over and over again through his words and his actions. But he gets in front of a microphone and lies his ass off and many dumbasses just lick it off his boots.
