I know reddit is worse than its ever been and has always been astroturfed but once in a great while I still stare into the abyss and let me tell you… internet-delenda-est

The fact that they’re all saying the coast guard too, like is this the new recruiting tactic? sell the one that has less of a murder-y reputation, then when they can’t get into that they just go with whatever they qualify for?

At least the top comment is better

      Fun fact Eglin Air Force Base not only has a reddit data center, but from the 4chan leak a year or so back they were responsible for at least a quarter of the posts on the site and comprised a surprising number of the mod team. Another quarter of posts came from Israel; ironically proving the JIDF “conspiracies” posted across /pol/ for more than a decade.

      They’re also the second largest source of IPs related to American-run bot accounts, with the largest being the Utah Data Center run by the NSA.

        I heard someone say their VPN never works unless they set it to the DC area as well.
