true, expensive stuff that gear, and the auditors come around wanting to know why you have it...
Twelve monkeys, eleven hats. One monkey is sad.
Unfortunately, this is literally the case with most of the gear-- the scary military-grade stuff is being given away basically free from the Department of Defense (oversees the military), with the caveat that you must prove you need it and prove you're using it. So when the town of Podunk gets a new MRAP troop truck, they have to justify having it by sending it out on X number of calls per year. And things go right downhill from there.
Thank you for voxing the Church of Khorne, would you like to donate a skull to the Skull Throne today?
It's just as much about the legal system being garbage too. A useless system like this is why I would never be able to prosecute anyone who handed out proper justice.

One of the most idiotic programs are supremely stupid leaders have ever enacted. If people want to play with the big scary toys they need to join the f***ing armed forces. The country does NOT need a bunch of half trained wanna be cowboys tooling around with equipment meant for a bloody warzone!

Ask not the EldarGal a question, for she will give you three answers, all of which are puns and terrifying to know. Back off man, I'm a feminist. Ia! Ia! Gloppal Snode!
So I read the back of my crisp packet today - I do that every day, if there are letters on a thing my automatic, almost compulsory instinct is to read them, but the different thing today was it was a packet of McCoys, because Asda were doing them at two six-packs for £2.
It said "MAN CRISPS."
Welp. Not buying those again. Seabrooks are only slightly more expensive right now, and not insulting.
Gender contruct based food products always confuse me. It seems Protein+spicy+salt = men, Fibers+sweet+sugars = women
