What a Hell of a Way to Die


Apr 11, 2019

It’s been something of a banner week for dumb military and veteran news. For starters, a scandal emerged in Nate’s adopted home of Britain after a video showed British Army paratroopers happily shooting a portrait of Labour party leader Jeremy Corbyn. https://www.theguardian.com/uk-news/video/2019/apr/06/british-army-chief-addresses-claims-of-unacceptable-conduct-by-soldiers-video

We also discuss a news story in which Marine Corps general officers complain to the press that Trump’s raiding of military discretionary spending (in order to build his wall) is hampering their ability to recover from climate-change-worsened natural disasters that have recently struck. https://www.newsweek.com/marine-generals-email-leak-trump-congress-budget-1386469
