I’m sure he’s going to go after teams deployed overseas in hostile countries trying to keep a low profile. Nothing like a group of highly fit men in their 20’s and 30’s hanging around together with very short crew cuts and clean shaven to say, “Hey, don’t look at us. We’re not Navy Seals. Nope. Look nothing like 'em.” ---

We’re not Navy Seals. Nope. Look nothing like 'em.” True, except for the fact that SEALs haven’t been clean shaven for over 20 years. For whatever reason, beards have become the calling sign of many elite units in the U.S. military. ---

> [@The\_Stainless\_Steel\_Rat](#): > > Saw this on the MMP and if this isn’t an Evil MF there aren’t any… Yeah it’s horrible. Yesterday there was an Amber Alert and it was canceled today without explanation. Then we learn they found the girls’ bodies. He’s homeless so he’ll probably be hard to find, but I doubt he will be alive when he’s found. He had trouble adjusting after he left the military, and had mental health struggles. What’s heartbreaking is the mom saying yesterday that her ex-husband had problems but she was sure he’d never hurt his kids. She must be filled with guilt right now. I feel so bad for her. ---

A Mafia hitman convicted in four murders is denied compassionate release, despite having found “humanity” in prison (warning, [gruesome details](https://www.yahoo.com/news/colombo-killer-john-pappa-jailed-214700977.html) in story). You see, he couldn’t help himself - he was drawn to Mafiosis as substitute fathers. 😥 ---

Man, it’s a good thing that nobody who’s spent their life trying to prove themself worthy to a long succession of substitute fathers has made it to a position of high authority before resolving their issues. ---
