How the War Loot is Split Up

This should surprise no one who has ever worked with/for JIATF in any capacity...
The more I get to know the military. The more I see what it is. It's just a bunch of old Jewish guys giving some kid an M16 and telling him to go raid a country.
I just find that amusing. The funny thing is, when you put the M16 in that old mans hand. It doesn't work so good. So when you think about it, we can just dangle the war loot over his head until he gives us our cut right? I mean, unless he wants to try and take it him self - LOL.

I do understand the frustration with JIATF, but it wasn't all bad. The SWOs on our ship did everything they could to avoid actually doing the mission. Sometimes they were the enemy of success. CO was totally onboard with the mission, but her crew would have rather been steaming circles in Fifth Fleet, I'll never understand why. Panama was the BEST port ever, although it was slightly awkward when a cab driver offered us some of the very same contraband we were attempting to apprehend. "Uhhhhhh....no thanks?"
Well what do you want me to do? I just want my cut. All the guys who fought in that war(like the guys on the nuclear submarine) should get there cut. I'm climbing into a super sonic jet that goes 1,400MPH. I could not make it back and wind up with nothing todo this for them, and in turn the united states.
Oh, I forgot to say (sorry, got distracted) we managed to take the cover off an engine that we shot out, mount it, sign it next to the bullet holes, and put it up in the ready room. Sad thing is I was at my old squadron several months ago and the JOs were completely in the dark about it and were asking me about its origin. I'm not even that old...it was only a couple years ago that we put it on the wall! SMH.
Not exactly sure, except to note that one of the grievances leading to the mutiny at the Nore in 1797 was a demand for a fairer distribution of prize money. Odd that it took 11 years for the issue to be addressed and codified (or maybe not all that odd...), but the change was significant, especially for senior petty officers, like Captains of the Top, whose individual shares of prize money more than tripled.
Welcome to getting old. When I left my DH squadron, the majority of the pictures hanging up on the wall were taken by me (or with my camera). When I came back 3 years later, most were still up. When the squadron moved, there were still a few up, but then they started deploying with the new airframe and have new pictures. Now I'm a has-been.
They do have a sweet, complete stab (with center box) from the old show bird hanging up in the ready room, though, and a cool story on how they got it. So props to them.
Probably not that odd. You can’t reward behavior like a mutiny with instant benefits. Incongruent with a strong chain of command.
Or just that there's nothing new under the bureaucratic sun.
That was my thought... like "ah, sounds exactly like the modern version of our Navy!"
If you split it up, it won’t sound the same. #dadjokes
