They have those deployable fast food restaurants and by god they will use them.
simonced@lemmy.ml 2 weeks ago
They seem well fed.

If there’s one thing Texas does well, it’s barbeque.

All this after Trump saying he doesn’t want fat troops

First thing they do is order a liter of cola each
hardcoreufo@lemmy.world 2 weeks ago
What’s a liter cola?

betanumerus@lemmy.ca 2 weeks ago
In the US, it converts to 3 cups, a half-quart and a couple of floz.

Literally the only thing the US will use the metric system for: large volume soda.

Didn’t trump say “no fatties in the army”?
LemmyKnowsBest@lemmy.world 2 weeks ago
Trump didn’t say that. The guy on stage who spoke before him said that.
phoenixz@lemmy.ca 2 weeks ago
You are fully correct, but is there much of a difference there?
MacNCheezus@lemmy.today 2 weeks ago
He was talking about yo momma when he said that.

Judging from their bellies this is Meal Team 6?

Looks like they’re sending their Human Hamburger Squad. Watch out, fast food restaurant owners!

We’re a tool using species. Fat fingers can pull a trigger just the same as non-fat fingers (unless they are exceptionally fat, sure I’ll give you that one).
TheAsianDonKnots@lemmy.zip 2 weeks ago
…and when it’s time to run? Tool use didn’t stop a 400lbs gorilla from ripping you limb from limb. Dicks out for Harambe. I’m still not over it.
ryedaft@sh.itjust.works 2 weeks ago
Wait, did Harambe dismember an armed national guard? I was not paying attention at the time so I don’t really know what the story was. Crazy!
bdonvr@thelemmy.club 2 weeks ago
If you mean they’re a danger to everyone in the vicinity, yes absolutely.
But they’d still be a shit soldier. Lot more to combat readiness than ability to pull a trigger. (Though if the USA wants to fill its armed forces with obese people I won’t complain lmao)
Baphomet_The_Blasphemer@lemmy.world 2 weeks ago
It’s sad how far the military standards have fallen over the last couple of decades. On the upside with shit cardio, these fat boys shouldn’t be challenging to evade.
warbond@lemmy.world 2 weeks ago
Knowing very little about the national guard in particular, I would argue that the standards are there but the enforcement isn’t.
In the Navy, at least, physical training was never a serious priority except for more specialized commands. The standards were identical, but the commands where PT was emphasized were the only places where a majority of people were fit. There’s way more to it than just standards.

Drunken Pete: don’t be fat
The national guard: ^^^
betanumerus@lemmy.ca 2 weeks ago
They’re following an illegal order.
jali67@lemmy.zip 2 weeks ago
I do not agree with Trump but the NG (so far) have not done anything crazy where they have been deployed. Sitting around twiddling their thumbs is hardly harming anyone. Most of them do not want to be involved in this nonsense.
betanumerus@lemmy.ca 2 weeks ago
The NG has no business being in the public eye and confronting the police at their own job. This is like me popping up at your job in camo with a gun and watching you. Yeah no, not doing anything crazy though.
Aljernon@lemmy.today 2 weeks ago
They still traitors. They could have refused their illegal orders and opted not to. Especially after DJT’s whole speech about war against americans and the enemy at home.

Why are these fat boys coming out of a moving truck?
clay_pidgin@sh.itjust.works 2 weeks ago
They probably walked up and are collecting their duffle bags.

What do Texans do when someone trespasses on their property?
uriel238@lemmy.blahaj.zone 2 weeks ago
Do we have verification of this photo? Also, I thought digi-cam fatigues were out nowadays since they’re less effective than old-school camouflage.
Besides which, national guard don’t usually get to choose their deployment. They’re in Chicago, I assume, to pick up litter and guard federal buildings at the pleasure of their civilian commanders (up to the limits of what they’re legally allowed to do). They’re contemptable once they follow illegal orders and engage in state violence.

If this picture is accurate, Texas has a 80% obesity rate.

Aljernon@lemmy.today 2 weeks ago
I can’t think of a single reason why they shouldn’t be arrested the moment they show up in Chicage. Traitors and criminals, the lot of them.
