I just thought of something cool.
I'm a U.S. Marine. We deploy overseas all the time, and usually in places where we don't exactly get internet. I was thinking for my next deployment which is sooner than SOONtm, that I'd buy a booster for every month that I'm gone, so I ran sti earn a bit of extra SP while I'm gone, and unable to play. But I did the math, and it'd be over $160 bucks for the whole deployment.
But... what if there are others like me? Other troops, from various countries, deployed throughout the world who can't play their game? It sucks to come back with everyone over 10 million SP ahead of you. You feel gimped and set back. So what if we all pitched in?
My idea is that for active duty deployed vets of all different armed services, we could start a fundraiser;
Gaming Troops of Dust.
I was hoping the Devs could help us, maybe set up a slight discount for this purpose, and work with us to purchase and gift these passive boosters to vets before they deploy overseas so that they can keep up while they're unable to play. Of course, this is just a preliminary idea, and a lot of measures would need to be introduced to help eliminate fraud and abuse, but would this not be awesome?? As the idea started with me, regardless of my active duty status, I'd be exempt from the program. I don't think it'd be fair for me to participate, and I'd like to avoid any possibility for this to look the wrong way.
I really think this would be awesome. We found out how many of us there are in Dust when we had that active duty service member stickies thread. I believe that this would be a really cool way to say thank you to gets for what they do, and one of those nice little things to come home to.
What do you guys think?
Sincerely,

No offense, but, we shouldn't be invading countrys for decades on end, especially ones that we created the prroblems in the first place.
Offense is not defense.

Excuse you, but blame the politicians. I don't remember the last time ANYONE in the military signed legislation for ANYTHING in the military, or declared war on anyone. If you think wars are the fault of the military, you're a complete and total moron. Take your so-called self enlightened idiocy somewhere else. You think that because I'm a Marine I WANT to go overseas and be away from my family, be uncomfortable, isolated and possibly die?
No.
Thank the politicians for military atrocities. Vets volunteer to serve and protect the people of their respective countries. I defy you to say and logically prove any different. You're the kind of person I'd like shipped to a third world communist country to see how the real world is. You sir, are entitled to an opinion, but get off of your f***ing high horse and blame the right people. |

Lame excuse, the Nuremburg trials, and consequently the Geneva convention we also now ignore states clearly "just folloing orders" is not an excuse.
Our wars are a result of the military industrial complexes influence on our politics. more than 80% of our gross national product is guns and rockets and bombs.
A great president warned this was coming:

Get your head out of your ass and take a good look at the world in DUST to see where we're headed. Military industrial complex fool. It's a fools game, the only dusty a soldier has is here at our own borders. Period. Past that you are a mercenary in business and not worthy of my support, since your business is destroying my counrty, you chose the bed you lie in.

I don't kick in doors, dumbas*. I fix helicopters. The ones that put out fires every year in California, the ones that deliver medical aid, food, water and other things to people who are victims of terrorist attacks every day.
You're a f***ing moron. I can't believe people like you are allowed to exist. I wish I could put you on a plane, as a civilian, and send you to Afghanistan. I would then watch the subsequent video on Al Jazeera of you being captured and beheaded by some crazy frickin terrorist.
I'm not going to argue with you. You wi clearly not be swayed. I'm not going to waste my time hunting down history, facts, or hyper linking YouTube channels. You're a damn entitled fool, and only in 'Murica do we find morons like you. It's sad that our service entitles you to be this f***ing stupid. On second thought, take your trip to Afghan. I'll be watching the news from my barracks room when I'm deployed.
Community managers, please take down This entire thread. A nice thought to do something nice for people who are servants of the people has now been ruined and completely derailed by piece of sh*t. I don't even care anymore. |

I would do worse to invaders if a country invaded here and has been overthrowing and invading since 1953 (google operation Ajax), and the country has torture as one of its policies.

Why start now you haven't brought a single fact to the table yet.
Here's one more for you: become an Oath Keeper. Google it.
