Those slots are on the army uniforms. This image may be ai but those pin holders on the wrist have been a part of uniforms for decades.

It literally says sleeve pocket under E.
Good to know but also I'm not able to find any examples where those are on the forearm near the wrist instead of up above the elbow. Your example also has them above the elbow. Does that style actually exist?

Fair enough fair enough, I retract my sarcasm it apparently has a purpose.
Here is a better diagram of the pen sleeve holder.

Interesting! Today I Learned I guess
Why slop

Literally just this. Its not like enlisting in 2000 where you might've thought you were the good guys or 2002 where you might've thought it was revenge or something or 2010 where you figured 'forever war' was a way to get the hell out of that small town and into college. No.
You signed up to do xenophobia for the guy who gets memed as wh40k emperor by his supporters, probably after the head war guy peeked out of his bottle to shout 'logistics are gay!'.
If you did that, the world is better off without you and your injuries are funny, kill yourself.
Nah they were the bad guys back then too, and the current crop of numbskulls think they're the good guys too. In 20 years time, the current crop of soldiers are gonna sell you the same excuses that the crop of soldiers sold us twenty years ago. No good
soldiers
They were always the bad guys, but as far as a dumbass 17 year old could plausibly believe? There was cover.
For most people it’s still about material benefits. The guy in office doesn’t really change that.
What you're willing to do for material benefits does in fact deserve moral judgment. And the head of war called logistics gay.
True. We all have to make our way in the world. Rarely is it the way we’d like.
Anyway, gotta pay rent grabs balaclava, head bag, pliers
I’d wager the vast majority of people in the military are glorified pencil pushers. Not really much of a moral difference between them and the person stocking store shelves with the products of exploitative, unsustainable corporations. Just as there’s no ethical consumption under capitalism, there’s also no ethical form of alienated labor under capitalism.
Yeah.anyway, hold this car battery. I need to pay for dinner.
And don't knock over the box on the counter; its got a womam's hand in it, on ice. That goes out to a client in about an hour. Really I'm just reselling wedding rings.
It's all ignorant teenagers who don't know any better signing up because they believe it can't be that bad. Then they grow up.
It wasn't that twenty years ago. Its more transparent now.
What an incredibly sad truth.
