#7 I repeat, "Chow thief" doesn't make sense unless their food was limited. I mean, every recruit learns in the first week to carry at least a loaf of bread on marches.

#8 A chow thief is someone who doesn't return the kind of physical labour for the amount of chow he gets.

I used to feel bad for guys who were called names by fitter, abler men in training. Later I saw how correctly they had been stereotyped.

#10 Food and sleep deprivation are part of Ranger School experience. You get less than half of the calories and sleep needed during the 2 months and will lose 30 pounds. Surprised his evaluators and classmates didn't find a way to fail him.

#11 So a chow thief would be someone who actually steals rations ? But that would disqualify from the course.

#12 Ref #10: Surprised his evaluators and classmates didn't find a way to fail him.

Perhaps "failure" was not an option. (Obama and Paki college pal Sohale Siqqiqi in graphic)

#13 Dunno about Ranger school but when he appeared before the House Intelligence Committee he was definitely on the chubby side.

#16 What's 'Zero' in Urdu?

In Maraniss's doorstop of a book, Obama first meets Siddiqi at a New Year's Eve party in San Francisco, the young, gangly, would-be president greeting his future roommate with pitch-perfect Urdu, asking: "How are you, Boss?"

It was a phrase [Obama] had picked up from his best buddies at Occidental College in California – Pakistani students Imad Husain, Hasan Chandoo and Wahid Hamid who, like Siddiqi, were part of Karachi's wealthy elite. So close were the group that Obama went to Pakistan with them for a three-week holiday in 1981, staying with Hamid and Chandoo's families.

Maraniss argues in his book that the group has distanced itself from Obama for fear of hurting his presidency, but they remain friends: "The Pakistanis were a fun-loving bunch," he laughs, talking on the telephone from Washington DC, "but they were intellectuals." Despite their party harder reputations, the three went into highly paid corporate finance: Husain is a Boston-based banker; Hamid works for one of the world's biggest private equity firms in Dubai; and Chandoo – who is recorded to have fundraised some $50,000 to $100,000 for Obama's current campaign – is a financial consultant, living with his family in upmarket Westchester, New York.

#17 Shouldn't there be some kind of vetting process that says 'certain people can simply not be President' even if everyone votes for 'em ?

Because that would be... duhh, good.

#18 Zero in Urdu is Sifar, Lex. A rather pretty word I wouldn't waste on this asshole.

I think 'O' is best for him; the single orgasm the 14% will ever have in history.

#19 #17 the Donks are running that gambit right now for 2020. They missed the horse and barn door back in 2016. Don't worry they've set the new ground rules for themselves because someone else now has access to all that data collection they've been doing on everyone.

#20 Ranger training is all about limited food. I mailed my friend power bars and jerky every day and he told me later the guys in charge “let” some get through.

#21 I 'suspect' the food getting through was a test and anyone that didn't share was considered a chow thief. More of a self-bastard non-team player than actual thief.
