brutal
anyway what do you guys think of justin lascek's home gym
the us should've left afghanistan the second bin laden disappeared in tora bora, but that's a outside the scope of IST. bro literally got his nuts blown off.
as for his home gym, where in CO is he? seems nice. home gym equipment has come so far in only 10 years. I bet this was top of the line back then and nowadays you have insane stuff like the Ares from rep. lots of integrated cable machines and innovative adjustable dumbbells and all sorts of stuff. pandemic did at least one good thing I guess
good set up. shame about his balls
TESTICLE STATUS??
he was one of my original inspos when I first came to this board
Maybe they can put treads on his wheelchair and he can fight for Zog in Iran.
Imagine the shambles your life must be in to go for this low of low-hanging fruit LMAO
Let me guess the replies
>"something something israel"
>"ur mad"
S H A M B L E S
Imagine blowing your balls off for Israeli causes.
I would have gladly blown my balls up fighting for the Führer and for the Race on the eastern front.
>I would have gladly blown my balls up fighting for the Führer and for the Race on the eastern front.
Literally me.
>"something something Israel"
>moron literally can't even help himself
LMAO
Typing lmao in all caps over and over doesn’t make you correct btw.
>ignores his own moronation
>focuses on my e-girlng @ him
Truly a mental midget
he's gonna frick that dog
i dont think his penis works anymore bro
he is giving major tommy james (aka tommygainzz) vibes in that pic lmao
he's gonna blow that dog
Maybe he still has them.
hes openly talked about the fact that his testicles are gone multiple times
Thank god I avoided being a zogbot and instead got a PoG job in the military. Combat jobs are cool in theory but war is just luck, and no amount of gains will save you from the horror.
I still read 70sbig sometimes. such a powerful blog. I send POWER to justin
EAT BIG GET JACKED
you're surprised that someone who roids is mentally ill?
ok so his wife was a b***h, he will always be remembered as a hero and he never has to work again due to veteran gibs.
he won.
>veteran gibs
Does that money really help? Asking seriously, not Murrican here.
In all countries veterans have a few benefits on the daily but that's barely good enough to carry a humble life, nothing fancy.
no the VA is notorious for fricking over vets and denying claims
some people are able to game the system though but the average vet is just tossed to the curb
It’s thousands of dollars a month tax free, since he was SF he also gets a bunch from charities and stuff too. It’s not rich, but he will never have to wageslave again.
I'd rather have my legs and my balls but I can understand how some incel neets might see legs and sex organs as redundant.
Depends on disability rating, although I'm sure he's at 100%. That's about $3,200/month tax free for a single veteran with no dependents. Not a ton, but definitely nothing to sneeze at. A lot of states also have additional benefits for disabled veterans; Texas has no property taxes at 100% disability and reduces appraisal amounts by a few thousand for lower ratings, plus other smaller benefits like not paying for tolls, free hunting/fishing license, etc.
And VA is pretty stingy, particularly if you put in claims after getting out. Part of the problem is a lot of people—particularly younger guys—avoid going to medical and documenting shit. If shit isn't documented while they're in, its much easier for the VA to claim any issues are not service related. The dudes, usually older and more disillusioned, that document every bump and scratch have a much easier time.
I got 30% when I got out in 2015. I submitted new claims in 2022 and got denied for the stuff that wasn't in my initial claim from back then. Retained disability lawyers for the appeal and got brought up to 70% (about $1,700-1,800/month from $700-800/month), but it took nearly two years.
> won
Bro literally no one gives a flying frick about vets who served in any """war""" post WWII, including the government.
>he will always be remembered as a hero
By who? No one cares about him anymore besides people who like to make fun of him here.
>so his wife was a b***h
wat happen
Hero for what? Invading another country and attempting to install a foreign controlled government?
you know you're going to see this exact thread in a few years about western mercs and western 'mercs' in Ukraine? What's your plan then, to say
>Hero for what? Joining with a CIA coup government that had been terror-bombing civilians for the previous ten years?
By color revolution or by "invading and attempting to install a foreign controlled government", the result is foreign controlled government.
Or are you going to suddenly see things more from the hero's perspective?
Ukrainian war is largely fought by Ukrainians against Russian aggression.
But yeah I don't think western mercs should be in Ukraine either. Sets bad precedent.
>merc goes to Afghanistan, kicks out Taliban, installs western-controlled government
nooo that's wrong, that's aggressive
>merc goes to Afghanistan, joins forces with Taliban, defeats western-installed government
Afghan war is largely fought by Afghans against foreign aggression, but yeah I don't think mercs should be in Afghanistan either.
Volunteer fighters aren't controllable by reasonable means.
This is just what people say when they're OK with something happening.
When they're not OK with it, suddenly the imagination turns back on. Suddenly a variety of sanctions and penalties are on the table. Suddenly, instead of letting the perfect (no mercs ever) be the enemy of the good (fewer mercs), people think of strong discouragements and pure institutional hassle directed at mercs, that will still not stop sufficiently motivated heroes.
For a recent comparison, look at western ISIS volunteers.
terrorists need to be taken out. the west had been attacked.
>little vadim so scared that he's gonna be sent to ukraine in a few months that he's crying about muh evil west not letting poor puccia massacre meanie hoholpiggies in peace
my contribution to this thread is simple: if YOU are so propagandized and ignorant of what's going on, why do you condemn soldiers are going to be given much more persuasive and direct stories about the good they're going to do be doing in that part of the world?
The other anon doesn't even know about the Donbass separatists that have fighting for the last decade. You don't even know that Ukraine is losing so completely that obviously that no vadim is scared of getting sent to Ukraine right now. The latest western comedy is "the Russian military is flush with volunteers ... because people are scared of getting conscripted!" A recycled Vietnam headline - when that actually happened.
>if YOU are so propagandized and ignorant of what's going on, why do you condemn soldiers are going to be given much more persuasive and direct stories about the good they're going to do be doing in that part of the world?
drunk and scared vadim trash
>terrorists need to be taken out. the west had been attacked.
unfortunately as we've seen now the way to fight an insurgent force is not to send a large standing army to occupy the area indefinitely, which you'd think justin lascek would've known given he joined well after the war began and well after we knew the US wasn't going to "win" the war in any meaningful lasting capacity
If you join a company, and they give you a job, and you don't want to do that specific job, you can readily say "no" to that specific job and, if they company doesn't accept this, walk off. There's some friction (benefits, liking the job, liking your coworkers, disliking the job market) but it's all of reasonable, legal, and lightly punished. By "reasonable" I mean: it's within the spectrum of socially acceptable activities. Your wife can be upset, but she won't immediately leave you just to shield herself from the backlash, like if you were videod being unsympathetic to a black guy dying from a fentanyl overdose.
When you join a military by any means, there's a lot more alchemy of intent. You say "yes" once and then you don't get to say "no" for a long time. It's like the caricature of sex that feminists oppose when they push active consent, of "Can I kiss you? Can I touch you on your leg? Can I put it in?"
When you join a military you do so for both noble and self-interested reasons, and you tell people "I'm going to make sure that a bunch of terrorists die OVER THERE so that they don't die OVER HERE", you protect American children and your own family and freedom itself, and then you get told to do various specific jobs, and you are fully immersed in a narrative about how these jobs might have good outcomes. For example,
>the way to fight an insurgent force is not to send a large standing army to occupy the area indefinitely
Justin Lascek probably thought that this was working well enough in Iraq. "Victory In Iraq: How America Won" was published in 2011.
holy cope
his wife left him before he lost his legs?
why did you list a dog together with a house and a wife, like they are comparable. what is up with dog ownership among white people. fricking weird race.
Normal people like dogs.
good morning saar
>why did you list a dog together with a house and
Child surrogate
>have it all and choose to go into an offensive war
Now that's something you can call toxic masculinity. It's masculine. It's toxic.
poor fella, wonder how he copes
Good, that's what imperialist soldiers deserve.
