A little-noticed clause in sweeping changes to Germany’s military service policy has caused uproar after it emerged that the law requires men aged up to 45 to get permission from the armed forces before any significant stay abroad, even in peacetime.
The legislation, which went into effect on 1 January, aims to bolster the military and demands all 18-year-old men fill out a questionnaire to gauge their suitability to serve in the armed forces, but stops short of conscription.
If the “modernised” model fails to pull in enough recruits, parliament will be compelled to discuss the reintroduction of compulsory service, the defence minister, Boris Pistorius, said as the legislation passed the lower house of the Bundestag in December.
The fine print, which went largely under the radar until a media report called attention to it this week, says men aged 17 to 45 would have to apply for authorisation to leave Germany for more than three months.

Why are we still 'paying them for us to protect them- - and from who? Ukraine should have been part of NATO but wasn't. I thought the whole premise behind forming NATO was for the European countries to band together to keep the Soviets/Russia in check. What did Mother Russia do? It attacked the one country in the region tha was not a member of the club. Fuck NATO. We don't need so many bases over there anyway. Let 'em pay their own freight for once.

The ability that some people have to be able to look at something as mundane as her firing and find humor in it is a gift that I wish I had. I've always appreciated Lovett's twisted take on life. 'Well that would more than, wouldn't it'...

I can honestly say that I have never eaten anything that came from a Subway shop. I did go in to one about 15 years ago in Virginia when I was on a road trip. All I wanted was something fast to fuel me for the rest of the trip.
The friggin' Patel behind the counter didn't speak much English and I'm not as fluent in Hindi or whatever fuckin' babblin' shit that was her native tongue, so she kept asking me unintelligable nonsense questions, to the point where I got so pissed off I walked out. That's my ONE Subway experience.
Subway has over 20,000 U.S. locations. Wanna guess what percentage of subway franchisees are owned and/or operated by Indians - and I don't mean the horse ridin', bow-and-arrow Tonto motherfuckers? 35%. God Bless America...

Sometimes it feels like a million years ago, and then again at times it seems like it was just yesterday. It's hard to look back at the insanity that drove everything we did around that COVID bullshit between lockdowns and vaccines that weren't vaccines and stymulus monies and the masks and WTF were people thinking hoarding fuckin' toilet paper?
If we didn't get some manner of take-away from that while mishigas - if didn't learn from the whole clusterfuck, than we really are the idiots our so-called leaders think we are.

California’s fuel crisis has reached a shocking new milestone as diesel blows past $8 a gallon in San Francisco - the highest price ever recorded in any U.S. city.
The average price of the fuel – used to power everything from trucks to industrial machinery – sat at a statewide $7.67 per gallon Sunday, according to the American Automobile Association, also the most Californians have ever paid.
