I hate to say it, but doing a chest tube ain't that hard so it makes sense, it just LOOKS terrifying lol

Just make sure you clean them first; beef stew doesn't help a sucking chest wound, either.

Only if you've got lots of good tape. Also, fuck flutter; just seal it. We can always needle decompress.

EMT, basic occlusive dressing lets air out but not in. plastic w/ Vaseline and tapped with an open corner/edge is the easiest. you 1/2

can use whatever is around though. cloth/gauze with enough petroleum jelly will form a short term seal even. hell a strong leaf even. 2/2

anythings better than nothing, provided its any sort of effective
BrawndoTheThirstMutilatorIsWhatPlantsCrave
fellow civilian, i imagine it allows the air to escape but creates suction prevent air from reentering
RebelSkull
Your imagination does you credit, @theoriginalnoobster. That is exactly what a flutter valve does for a sucking chest wound.
JaBoiChives
Some tape and seal three corners. When the hole tries to suck air in it blocks, when it vents it let's it out
JaBoiChives
Three edges*
PrisonMichaelScott
You're supposed to seal all sides now.
VinerialBlumpkin11
No, absolutely fucking not. No chest seal should be occlusive. That's asking for a pneumothorax. Only vented chest seals ever. Source:

Just wait a few decades for when the first presidential candidates come up who were teenagers on Twitter. THAT shit's gonna haunt someone!

Yeah, Trump embarrassed himself on Twitter and it didn't hurt him. In fact he's done a lot of the same things he criticized Obama for.

why? current president says windmills cause cancer. aint no one holding him accountable for his tremendous amounts of idiocy.

Yeah, Americans can't wait for another war, I'm sure Trump would get reelected if war breaks out...

Some Americans love war. They profit from it. The hate keeps them warm at night as rally around the glow of Fox news.

I agree, that's why I think the idea that Trump would start a war on purpose to get reelected is absurd.

That is naive as fuck.

How is it naive? If the people are against the war how would it make Trump more popular? Can you explain your logic (or lack thereof).

What better way to stoke the post-patriotic nationalism his party relies on than a fight with the baddies they've been hyping over 20 years?

It wouldn't make him less popular. It would motivate his jingoist base. And that's really all he needs to win the electoral college.

As of 2017, the US has been at war 222 years out of it's 239, so at this point we're looking at about 223 going into 224.

America has been at war since Desert Storm in 1990

You left out OJC. Search and destroy operations were still going on in DEC of 90. In Feb 1990 at least 11 US soldiers were killed.

AnAlienFromUranus
Yes.

Only 1 US contractor was killed as far as I heard

Thing is that US media’s are calling what was civilians demonstrating at the us base “an attack” and I don’t really like that

Where a contractor died? That's not a demonstration dude

No one died in the demonstration it was a separate thing following it

If you think the ostensible casus belli is the real reason nations go to war I'm hoping you are very young

The "attack" on the US Embassy wasn't terrorism, it was protesters that vandalised property but didnt hurt anyone. How is this proportional?
ContagiousBoner
It was militiamen backed by Iran. It wasn’t just “protesters”. It can be traced directly to Soleimani. Just a quick factoid: the Obama 1/

https://www.nytimes.com/aponline/2020/01/01/world/middleeast/ap-iraq-us.html they were Iran-backed militiamen.

The definition of “militiamen” is not “guys with guns”
Treblaine
But you agree they didn't have guns, they just had the regalia of militia/paramilitary groups? This was no terrorist plot.

Administration named Soleimani a terrorist directly responsible for the deaths of 500 Americans. The pentagon says he was planning more 2/
ContagiousBoner
Attacks. Why is anyone complaining that he was blown up?
Treblaine
Because this guy isn't Osama Bin Laden. This is like assassinating a US General because he oversaw Contra guerrilla program.

500 American non-combatants killed? Or 500 American soldiers? Killing soldiers in war isn't terrorism. That's war.

All of this started nearly 20 years ago when the Iranians, orchestrated by Suleimani, killed hundreds of American personnel.

Given how wars are started to win elections, are you confident in who you think is behind the attack?

Unknown attackers kill 1 U.S. contractor. U.S. kills 25 militants. Militants vandalize U.S. Embassy, 0 deaths. U.S. kills Iranian General.
