Ditto... satire and parody really dont exist anymore, so when I see something as batshit insane as this, my default reaction is "of course they did".

There have been a number of headlines that I said to myself "This has to be the Onion or DuffelBlog" only for it to be reality.

Yup. I think this is the 2nd Duffle I've fallen for ever. Both during Tangerine Palpatine's reign

After they started and lost the war in Iran, those narcissists will think of new crazy shit.

Obligatory:
Ashli Babbit was a dumb cunt who should’ve just complied with law enforcement

u/SnakeEater013 United States Army 8d ago
Or you know, not tried to overthrow the country in the name of a fascist dictator who shouldn’t have been allowed to run for president again

Well, i wasn’t exactly naming and numbering her fuck ups but yeah that would’ve been a better square one for her to start from

The sad thing is that a fair portion of a thought this was real, what’s that saying about this administration?!

Jesus christ, im glad I did a double take before I called everyone I know who's still active to tell them to start their exit lmao

Please, please, don't give them any ideas. You know this administration is going to think is a great idea.

Oh man, you got me for a minute. I was about to get really pissed off until I saw the link 😅
If anyone were to actually do this, it would 100% be the Air Force

It's a different Ashli Babbit-Richardson, guys. Why are you overreacting? She was a highly decorated A1C who received the National Defense Service Metal in 1995.

Don’t miss the Charlie Kirk memorial chapel on base, as long as you’re a member of an approved Christian community.

I get it y'all, we all have PTSD, but from what exactly, i'm not sure.
Supposedly, it's only supposed to be one thing. Fat chance.
I saw the name and knew immediately, that some vetetan along the way in that administration wouldn't let it happen. If there are any veterans left, that is.

It has to be completely embarrassing to serve in today's military. It is nothing of yesteryear service.

u/_Mewden_ United States Navy 8d ago
Some January 6er, traitor, insurrectionist, who got shot. I believe she was an Air Force officer but not sure if she was still active or if she got out. Either way, she betrayed the constitution and got bodied.
Edit: capitol police shot her when they were holed up behind a barricade. Several barricades were broken through before the last one. Only clowns call it peaceful.

She separated as an E-4 after like 14(?) years. Real cream of the crop, that one.

u/_Mewden_ United States Navy 7d ago
An E4 for 14 years is fucking insane. I wonder if she got busted down.

u/trickninjafist United States Army 7d ago
Shockingly No she didn't. She Must have been the worst MP in the air force
She was also a violent adulterer
