Under Appreciated And Misunderstood Drone Pilots
Comedy central shows how rough these guys have it:
Pretty funny. All jokes aside, I’m sure the job is highly stressful and requires skilled operators…. that said, did you see they created a new military medal for drone pilots that ranks above the Bronze Star and Purple Heart? According to the article there is pressure to downgrade the medal, so we will see what happens. -

Camouflage K-Way Jacket
Just for kicks, today I’m running an Usher double header:
Like that camouflage jacket he stylin’ on the paparazzi in? It can be yours for £190 ($288 USD) over at Hensch Man. It’s waxed canvas so you know it will bead those raindrops with the quickness, and age nicely doing it.
Since you asked, I’m an Usher purist that still bumps that ’97 shit. Nice and Slow is my jam. What do you know about that?

Syrian Soldiers Get Down To Some Usher
Syria needs to catch up; “Yeah!” was a single in 2004:
I don’t know that much about the conflict over there to make any clever jokes, but it looks like those guys are having a good time.I love how the gunshot at 1:26 set off the chants and following rain of gunfire both locally and off in the distance. I wonder what those guys that responded to the gunfire were dancing to? Some early Gaga perhaps?
