Pfc. Suck had his named changed by the X-Com foundation during admissions testing so that his commanding officer could easily identify him as <i>&#8220;Not one of the guys that we were thinking of having on the payroll, long-term.&#8221;<\/i><br \/>\nPfc. Suck&#8217;s accuracy with any kind of ranged weapon was ludicrously bad, so Pfc. Suck had a backpack full of explosives, on the theory that maybe he could hit something with them, or at least, y&#8217;know, kinda get close. Pfc. Suck ran into a big room just jam-packed with aliens of the worst kind, who shot him with enough damage to probably overkill him about twenty-five times. This detonated his grenades. The mission promptly ended with no losses except for Pfc. Suck.<br \/>\nPrivate Andreas Suck&#8217;s picture was put onto the X-Com HQ walls as the example of a brave, if horribly untalented, man who gave his everything for his species. Pfc&#8217;s Loser, Ass, and Fuckwit were instructed to keep his example in mind during the coming conflict.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>this thread: There was once a time, not so long ago, when I was enjoying the outside, seeing friends, going<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[8],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-694","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-links-resources"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"http:\/\/randomaverage.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/694","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"http:\/\/randomaverage.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"http:\/\/randomaverage.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/randomaverage.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/randomaverage.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=694"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"http:\/\/randomaverage.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/694\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"http:\/\/randomaverage.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=694"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/randomaverage.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=694"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/randomaverage.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=694"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
