He died for the cause that meant so much to him: enhancing shareholder value.

@xtaldave It's not even that - it's a *descending* stock ticker.

That soldier got Mike Wazowski'd by a *depressing* economy.

@xtaldave @JorisMeys This tells you EXACTLY how much bullshit is spoken about respect for troops. We’re seeing cannon fodder.
Show threadxtaldaveMar 14

@holdenweb @JorisMeys oh, 100% agree.

The "respect" a lot of politicians pay to service personnel is mostly just lip service, because focus groups tell them it plays well with certain sets of voters.

@xtaldave You have a point. But that’s pretty true of all politicians on all issues. Focus groups got us this shitshow of politicians - for Uk readers particularly

@xtaldave Just shows the lack of respect for these people *and*, more importantly, their families.

Same lack of respect shown at their bodies 'homecoming' by trump - irrespective of their politics, at least the others there had the decency to wear black - that orange c*nt stood there in a blue suit and a white fucking USA baseball cap on his head - call me old fashioned, but WTF?!!!

Respect costs fuck all....

@cultdev @xtaldave the Sergeants and Chief Warrant Officer will be the ones doing the work of running whatever it was in Kuwait, like middle management. A Chief Warrant Officer 5 is the highest an enlisted soldier can get before being a commissioned officer and Lieutenant, so this guy was basically two promotions away from being the best in his field in the area, reporting only to the brass.

Also, the DOW ticker appears photoshopped.
