Of course you’ve met us, silly Dron66046, merely not in analog form. I’m glad you made it back safely.

#13  Thanks to Fred, I have developed the habit of seeing the news as a humorous unfolding of mostly scripted events with the odd Skidmarkian insert from the twilight zone. It's what kept me sane. ☺

#5  The father-of-three suffered a psychotic break where he believed he was god's second son, could talk to the sun, and even that he was a nuclear weapon

#4  Ref #3: Mike nails it. Something akin to police work. Not everyone who wants to wear a badge, should actually be wearing a badge.

The number of 'bad apples' are very small, but their actions get widely publicized when things go badly.

#3  ...All the vsrious SOCOM parts have had problems - the nature of the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan made them the best tools in the box. But, as in Vietnam, the exponential growth of the SOCOMs led to people who never should have been anywhere near them being accepted. They get out in the field and, unsupervised with unlimited resources, do exactly what you'd think they'd do.
