The Armenians held the Taurus mountains for 400 years

Now we can’t even pay back debt we signed in the dotted line for

I absolutely agree they committed mass genocide across the east. I literally put that into my post. I’ve been to Korea and seen and heard stories about what they did there and I would never even begin to defend it. That’s not the point I was trying to make though.

I’m just simply giving my observations about the US’s current situation in Japan. You said we’re there to protect them, I said it’s not that simple.

I said we exploit the fact they allow us to be there. Different to exploiting the peoples themselves. The US (and pretty much every major government) has a habit of taking a mile when offered and inch. Our current position in Japan is no different.

The amount of service members stationed, the number and sizes of bases, the type of maintenance and work that is allowed to be carried out. All of these things are being constantly pushed and expanded, with promises that “this is the last time” being constantly broken.

This is the US military we’re talking about here. Does any of this actually surprise you?

No one’s yet mentioned the fact that many, many jobs that “require” a college degree, still end up having their employees learn the bulk of their job function EXCLUSIVELY during training. Now this isn’t all jobs, for example extremely specialized jobs like engineering

Speaking from my own field, the only part of behavioral health I see people actively using knowledge from their degree is psychiatry or nurse practitioner, prescribing meds. The rest is experienced based. MAYBE outpatient counseling, depending on what modality is being used

Yet the legal scam that is college continues not only unabated, but even more encouraged now that it got a mini-subsidy at the expense of the working class

Cleaned it before we left this morning, and you have a BattleTech book in your signature on an EverQuest forum
