We have no oil, don't kill us. Thank you from the mountain!

[Murican]

@PacMac: I have no use for oil, but I'm pretty fond of pierogies.

[tenji]

Would you rather fight 100 duck-sized horses or one horse-sized duck?

[Murican]

@tenji: 100 duck-sized horses, for sure. I imagine they'd be easier to eat.

[Lisiu]

Who would win?:
100 U.S. army veterans
vs
1 Polish road

[Murican]

@Lisiu: i’ve heard of your potholes, but I’ve also walked on the backs of others. Guess it depends on how long the road is before I run out of bodies.

1. Srry for this question but I'm suprised nobody asked it earlier. How much do you earn ?
2. How did you get the idea to create such an AMA on a polish website ?
3. How many times have you been to Poland so far ?

[Murican]

@Dziki_Rys:
1. Military salaries are kinda small, so enlisted I made $25000-35000. The perk is you're not paying for housing/rent, or food, it's all included. Now that I'm out and working for the federal government, around $80,000.
2. Was referred by a friend in Poland--we've played online games together over the years (Eve Online).
3. Never been, but looking forward to a visit in the next year or two.

Proof or GTFO

[Murican]

@Akaano: What kind of proof would you like?

[p.....a]

How did you make it all the way over to this site? ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)
Which state if I may ask?

[Murican]

@parhelia: Was referred by a polish friend. And, I grew up in Kentucky, and live in Virginia now about 25 miles south of Washington, DC

[Linuksiarz1]

Do you use Linux?

[Murican]

@Linuksiarz1: I've tried ubuntu and slackware, but I just keep it simple with Windows out of convenience.

[atakzsutuwrojemdzikichkleszczy]

how many people in a room have to say "thank you for your service" before it comes awkward for you?

[Murican]

@atakzsutuwrojemdzikichkleszczy: 1 is awkward enough. I try to go unnoticed, but the haircut is a dead giveaway.

Is there any sentiment amongst the US military forces that some of the wars fought by the US are unjust and the reasons given to the public are fake or the men in the field just have a job to do and don't care about why they're deployed overseas?

[Murican]

@empee: For my personal opinion, the pull outs from afghanistan/iraq were too soon, and we see the result which fostered an ideal environment from which ISIS grew. I wasn't around for vietnam, but I feel bad for the veterans from that era--the hippies really lost that war for them. I think US Policy evolved after vietnam and korea to rely more heavily on air force before entering in with ground
