  • Going without identifying markings isn’t anything new. OSI & special forces operate like that all the time already. Every single military member is going to have a CAC card and generally you’d be integrated with some unit. Outsiders stick out because no one seems to interact with them or know them. Military members are trained to identify and call out people that don’t belong. In the air force the saying used is “every airman is a sensor”. Basically, civilians, even if wearing the uniform correctly (hard to do) stick out because their mannerisms are all wrong. The way you put away/put on your cover (hat) looks weird if you haven’t done it thousands of times.

    Active military members are accounted for. You can’t just “pop off to the Mexican border real quick”.

    I just don’t really see the scenario that you’re trying to insinuate.




  • So here’s the thing: we don’t know that, really. If we find a spear that has one side sharpened and it’s dated 40,000 bc, then we find another spear and both sides are sharpened dated 30,000 bc, it may appear that way… But we literally have a vague guess at best. If 1 million years from now an archeologist finds a kitchen knife and concludes that in the 2000’s we were still figuring out double sided knives, then they would be hilariously wrong.

    I bought a 3br 2ba 1.7k sqr house in the suburbs in 2017 for 135k and a hybrid car with 10k miles on it for 20k a few years ago. I’m really confused at these numbers. Are people just living outside their means and hoping collectors won’t come knocking? I was making 55k at the time and I had no real financial troubles.
