Obviously that is FDD’s entire purpose but it’s still funny

The year is 2197, American forces are battling the moon people on Mars, FDD has put out a policy paper advocating for space lasering Iran

I think they just love sand
They should move to a beach or Arizona to get that urge out
New Mexico is also basically Afghanistan, they can pretend to fight the Taliban there in an airsoft game
