Meanwhile Obama is prepping legacy speech and next career. Hillary is in medical and Foundation meltdown. Trump is Trump and I reckon Vlad and his mates reckon they have a window to get some shit done. So yes the media is being managed to all hell.
Still...a good thing. A big purge. Obama has purged all the real O type warrior class, and so have his Western allies. So, we'll have a bunch of "appropriate" ethnic and sexual orientation types facing off against actual warriors who don't have time for PC.
The Snaark and Rob class. The Seeks and Friendly types. Sure, there will be some unfortunate straight White normal men (pretty much the entirety of Western combat forces) who will die due to the disease, but if they are dumb enough to fight for that shit, then ehh...
Hey...you can beat your guard dog only so much before he turns on you.
Meanwhile....the pay determines my patriotism. ;)
