We Can’t Afford It (Unless It’s Racism)

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 This week’s bonus features part 4 of Francis reviewing the HBO series “Generation Kill.” You can access it at the $3 tier on Patreon here: https://www.patreon.com/posts/francis-reviews-25961884 We have a YouTube channel now -- subscribe here and get sweet videos from us in which we yell in our cars like true veterans: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCwlHZpNTz-h6aTeQiJrEDKw Are you tired of your veteran-themed coffee company shirts being too subtle?
