It's the dunk tank.

This is where you come to post big-brained hot takes by chuds, libs, or even fellow leftists, and tear them to itty-bitty pieces with precision dunkstrikes.

Rule 1: All posts must include links to the subject matter, and no identifying information should be redacted.

Rule 2: If your source is a reactionary website, please use archive.is instead of linking directly.

Rule 3: No sectarianism.

Rule 4: TERF/SWERFs Not Welcome

Rule 5: No ableism of any kind (that includes stuff like libt*rd)

Rule 6: Do not post fellow hexbears.

Rule 7: Do not individually target other instances' admins or moderators.

Rule 8: The subject of a post cannot be low hanging fruit, that is comments/posts made by a private person that have low amount of upvotes/likes/views. Comments/Posts made on other instances that are accessible from hexbear are an exception to this.

Rule 9: if you post ironic rage bait im going to make a personal visit to your house to make sure you never make this mistake again

This has to be a cover story, right? If this is what happened, why would they just admit to it like this?

It's a classic move, you make the cover story embarrassing enough and no one will question it

100% they got ventilated by a guy in sweatpants with an AK older than himself

This. It's remarkably easy to slip on a wet ladder when you're busy getting riddled with bullets from above.

how would they even know this in the first place? and why would it take multiple days for the whole story to come out?

Hope against hope that the political polarization has infiltrated the military and intelligence communities and the Trumpers are acting like a fifth column.

Maybe these two Marines slipped and died to own the libs!

Limited hangout. When people know you’re lying and perhaps even the details (e.g. Houthis claimed they killed the seals), they’ll pivot to giving you piecemeal information. Everyone will be focused on the ladder, maybe the weapons, but they won’t ask about anything else.
