dank memes

Rules:

  1. All posts must be memes and follow a general meme setup.

  2. No unedited webcomics.

  3. Someone saying something funny or cringe on twitter/tumblr/reddit/etc. is not a meme. Post that stuff in /c/slop

  4. Va*sh posting is haram and will be removed.

  5. Follow the code of conduct.

  6. Tag OC at the end of your title and we'll probably pin it for a while if we see it.

  7. Recent reposts might be removed.

  8. Tagging OC with the hexbear watermark is praxis.

  9. No anti-natalism memes. See: Eco-fascism Primer

Walking around Iraq or Afghanistan until you get blown up by an IED doesn't do much to teach you about drone combat or missile interception/avoidance

The only kid I knew who signed up for the army died this exact way, two weeks after he got deployed to Afghanistan

They wanted us to hold a moment of silence for him, but everyone hated him so it didn't quite work

He sucked and he blew

Up, that is

Gotta love self solving problems.

Yeah, he was one of those ROTC (Think Boy Scouts, but for kids who want to go to Army) guys who really wanted to kill brown people

So much so it made everyone in our magnet high school weirded out

After all, we were all supposed to be gifted kids who'd end up in the Ivys

A guy I went to high-school with... I actually like him a little, but barely know him and most of my friends hate him... just joined the military this year.
