If you have any history with me you may know that what I USED to to was to point out the bias that is involved in the various news networks that exist and are popular around the world. This stopped being interesting or involving any sort of digging because all of these networks and outlets, well, I don't think they are even trying to hide their bias anymore and instead they are just preaching to the choir as hard as they can before eventually their line of work gets completely replaced and there is nobody left.
Don't believe me? Well where are newspapers now? How else do you explain the meteoric rise in popularity of "independent journalists" or people like Joe Rogan who readily admit that they don't know what they are talking about?
So these days instead I focus on things like the government clearly influencing news and of course, the most fun thing, just whackey stuff that happens when boys will be boys.
This next one is a fun one and I am unhappy that people got in trouble.
I can only guess that these exercises are rather routine and are meant to keep the pilots' skills up to date even though Finland hasn't fought anyone since the 1940's but they are important because you don't want an emergency to arise and all of a sudden pilots don't know where the car keys are.
This had clearly been pre-arranged before the pilots even took to the sky and it seems as though there was a competition of sorts to see who could get the most accurate looking privates in the sky.
The funny thing about this isn’t just the action itself, but the fact that the “holier-than-thou” media is treating this as some sort of tragedy and how the pilots should be ashamed of themselves.
I love how the media and various Karens on the internet all of a sudden have never done anything remotely offensive ever at any point in their lives when it comes time to point the finger at others.
The Finnish military responded in a very military sort of way
The Air Force requires soldiers to follow good manners and rules of conduct, and if these are deviated from, it will be responded to in an appropriate manner
This is what they told the press who should have just been minding their own business. I would imagine that the stern-faced commander went back and gave high-fives to the pilots because come on now, this is funny.
They also mentioned that the pilots managed to stay in the airspace that they were meant to be in, no other aircraft were ever in any danger, and that the pilots had certain objectives that they were meant to accomplish during these runs and not only achieved them, but exceeded them.
So what's the problem here? Are people just not allowed to have fun anymore?
Personally, I hope this becomes some sort of global competition among all military pilots even though that first one is so precise it is going to be tough to top.
I say do boobies next.
