When we even thought it COULD be an IED we would say "aint my job". I love you EOD!

Agreed. We carried a small amount of explosive to perform BIPs if necessary, but gladly pulled security for EOD on the more heavy duty stuff.
Hurt Locker was a joke on every level. The main character was portrayed as an undisciplined, yet skilled, rule breaker who rolled solo-cholo through Iraq as he saw fit to blow IEDs, fight sniper duels, and clear houses by himself. Also I love how he pulled up four 155mm artillery shell IEDs by the det cord. For no particular reason other than to show off his front deltoid strength. Seems legit.
They should pay us big us the big bucks to be advisors so this stupid shit doesn't happen
I could just see that argument unfolding. Me "Mr Holywood that ain't how shit happens, this whole script is a bunch of bullshit". Him "This script is based off of the true accounts of Pvt Snuffy, of the 182nd Airborne Transportation Division". Me- tossing up my hands and walking away shaking my head.
Yeah I think I'll let candy land be candy land, besides it's makes it easier to snuff out people's bullshit stories.
"There I was cut off and alone, scared for my life, with nothing more than my wits and an M16 to get me through".
It's a bit disappointing that hurt locker dude didn't break out his bow and call up big titty black widow during his Iraq rampage. An eye patch wearing mother fucker would have worked well too.
Saw "War Machine", the fictional biopic about Stan McChyrstal, last night on Netflix. It was merely okay. I couldn't tell if Brad Pitt was trying to give us a sympathetic character or a total clown. Hell, I don't think the movie knew what kind of story it wanted to tell.

Watched the preview of War Machine. Seemed like Pitt was over acting a bit. Honestly never been a BP fan anyway.

Thanks for the review. I saw the ad on Netflix, but wasn't sure if it would be worth watching. Now I know that it's not.
Here's a review from T&P on "War Machine" that made me think it might be worth watching now. Lol. I knew I shouldn't have listened to a dirty LIBTARD!

Saw the new Pirates movie. Same jokes, same plot, same story. If you like the characters or franchise that much, go ahead.
I'll give it s solid 'meh'. Best part of the movie was the 9% craft double IPA and poke bowl I had whilst watching it at he brand new Flix Brewhouse up by my place. Full meals and wait staff and 40 beers on tap and their own microbrews. Pretty seeet.

Also saw Pirates yesterday. As amlove1 said, really the same schtick; if you see one you've seen them all. But like Dame said, it was still a fun movie. I've definitely spent money on a lot worse. If you like the Pirates series, you pretty much have to see this one.

I have to admit, I was skeptical about what they could bring that might be new. But I found myself so lost in Jack's predicaments that I kept hoping he'd get into more trouble just to watch how the writers might get him out of it.
DUUUUUUUDE.
I had to revise my list with the wife recently.
It used to be just Margot Robbie and Misty Copeland, but Margot has sort of fallen out of favor with me- so, Gal Gadot, welcome to the list of women in Hollywood/popular culture that I would find a way to disappoint, alienate, and gaslight until you hated me. Like all my other ex's (that's actually not true but self-deprecation and self hate is the only way I know how to humor).

I'm sorry but Margot Robbie has "fallen out of favor" with you?! You disappoint me.
Well it seems he's now a homosexual sooooo...
"Now"? You're behind the times...
