I’ll always remember my grandfather’s last words before he kicked the can… “hey, wanna see how far I can kick this can?”

Seems systemic… Spend trillions every year and never win a war since desert storm or ww2 before that. It’s not budget, it’s not man power either the military are doing something really poorly or there is some type of corruption somewhere taking that money…

I agree I’m just confused how us seems to spend so much on military yet lose every war. It’s like a jock spending 12 hrs a day in the gym and losing every boxing match against the local chess club.

Not to mention so much news that we “rescued” one airmam from a down helicopter. Great, now compare that to D-day or any battle in the US civil war…no contest. We are using so many resources for “war” rather right or wrong doesn’t matter, we do nothing but lose. I’d fire every officer in the military, you have an effective unlimited budget, you have millions of man hours at your disposal but consistently fail at every “war” since… Desert storm? Even that is questionable. Even before that have Vietnam… Lost… Korea… Didn’t actually lose but still didn’t win… Ww2 ok yeah we won with cooperation from most other countries.

US is a “super power” and spend more than the 9 countries in the top 10 of military spending but we always lose…wtf??

What I don’t get if it’s really such a priority from him and he is so mad…doesnt America have enough bombs to just level the region? Can’t he just make a call and say “kill everyone, make it glass” and it would be done?

That would be horrible to do. I’m not condoning it and thousands of lives would be lost. That said in the 80s America could literally destroy the earth… With advancements in technology and the money we spent couldn’t they just say “do it” and make the whole area done for atleast a few generations? How do they lose wars? If they are so dead set on this can’t they just carpet bomb the entire country?

Back after the initial the reddit migration some guy posted that he was going camping and wanted to know how he could ensure he wouldn’t poop for 3 days.

From working in medical device if that’s all the documentation he is writing I’m jealous.

Absolutely. I got well acquainted with the regulations. The sad part is it was so slow to update anything nothing got updated.

This system needs to be operational by next week. It will be a month before its well made. This needs to be operational by next week. Ok, but then we can fix it right?

Not to mention any changes to anything got evaluated as either a notice update, a 90 day submission, or a full submission(6 months - 2 years depending on fda, bsi and severity of change). That’s in addition to the actual work. I could make a change in a afternoon and may see it in production next year.

I worked in medical electronic manufacturing. Changing a single setting for ease of use to the operator was planned as a 2 year project. Literally change a 0 to 1 in one of the files…

I preferred the no poop for 3 days thing but both are classics

Was it a good book series? Worth reading?
