The ultimate "No Brass Left Behind" policy.
The Japan Self-Defense Forces has a strict 1-to-1 return policy. If a soldier is issued 30 rounds, they must return 30 spent casings or 30 live rounds.
If even one casing is missing, the entire range shuts down. Every soldier stays until that single piece of brass is found. Those nets and bags aren't just for show, they are "efficiency tools" to avoid a 5-hour crawling through the grass!

BUYING ALCOHOL FOR ABORIGINALS
Aboriginals really striking in appearance in person when you meet them for the first time. Very distinctive physiognomies, don’t want to call their look archaic but that is closest descriptor I can think of
One thing about having these kinds of facial features is that they make the people look much older than they actually are. Was in Alice Springs in Australia, this is ‘major’ outback town in the Northern Territory. They have a lot of ‘abbos’ milling around in groups here, you walk around and they’re all sprawled out on the grass together. Lots of them aren’t really employed and many get some kind of government grant. Very hard not to stare because if you’ve never seen full-blooded aboriginals in real life before (like I hadn’t up until that point) like I say they’re quite distinctive looking
Walking around the town, there’s a group of abbos milling in a park. One of the women comes up to me:
“Ah yeah hey mate how’s it going mate you alright mate hey I couldn’t trouble you for sam help could I?”
Was one of first times and I had spoken to an aboriginal before
“What do you need?”
“Ah yeah mate well see it’s my birthday mate yah know and ah I was just wondering if you could go in the bottle-o for me and grab us a few stubbies yah know” scratches face again
Because of her very distinctive facial features was finding it difficult to focus on what she was saying, was looking directly into her eyes, couldn’t really take much in…
“Why can’t you go in and buy some drinks for yourself?”
“Ah yeah naw well we’re not allowed yah see they don’t let us buy alcohol yah see because they think we’re a right load of miscreants ah yeah but you look like a nice bloke could ya go and do it for me?”
“They don’t let you buy alcohol”
“Yeah they reckon we’ll start causing all kinds of trouble. Nah it’s not right” scratches her face again
“If you’re not allowed I don’t want to get in trouble myself buying it for you”
“Ah come on mate come on please it’s my birthday ah I just want one little drinkie on my birthday mate”
“I don’t know…”
“Ah come on mate go on come on mate” jittering
“I’m not sure”
“Mate we’re just chilling out a bit at the park on my birthday just want to unwind it’s no harm mate come on help us out mate” scratches her face again
“It’s really your birthday?”
“Yeahhh”
“How old are you? You must be 40 or so right?”
Thing is here in my head I thought I was really lowballing it - as I say the facial features they have make them look really old. Genuinely could not tell, had no mental model for it. Thought in reality though she must have been anywhere up to about 60. The weathered skin, the nasolabial folds, the brow ridge…
“I’m 18 mate” she replies

NEW: Police officer saves a 3-year-old boy by shooting a woman who abducted and stabbed him at a Walmart in Nebraska.
Noemi Guzman, who once attacked her father with a knife & set his house on fire before breaking into a church, is dead.
Guzman was back on the streets following the attack on her father, thanks to the fact that she was found not guilty by "reason of insanity."
Omaha police say they arrived at the scene to find Guzman, 31, threatening the child with the knife.
After refusing to comply with verbal orders and slashing the child in the head, officers opened fire.
"The responding officers acted with professionalism and direct action to intervene and save a child's life," said Omaha Police Chief Todd Schmaderer.
"The community can be reassured in knowing that Omaha police officers stand ready to act with courage and decisiveness in the most serious situations to protect the public."
The child is expected to survive.

My little brother was singled out and bullied by his female teachers because he would bounce up and down when he got excited. We used to call him Tigger. He was a single digit age and they would scream at him and insult him for hopping in place in anticipation of recess or something.
It was hardly even moving, imagine bouncing your leg up and down when you feel antsy. He did it with both. They took away his recesses. They wouldn't let him go outside. They took him off the soccer team, his greatest joy in the world. They made him feel like a piece of sh&t. He couldn't help himself and it stressed him out so much he just started having tantrums in the morning and refused to ever go to school again.
The teachers held meetings where they determined amongst themselves that they had done nothing wrong. That my little brother, whose crime was that he felt so much excitement that he couldn't contain himself, needed to be medicated.
They brought in some experts who agreed and convinced my mom to start giving my brother anti-anxiety medication at like 10 years old. The life faded out of his eyes. He was never been the same. The tantrums never stopped. He never even graduated school. I hate every single one of them.

Leftism can be caricatured as hating your dad, who represents authority, because he didn't let you eat candy all day
Rightism can be caricatured about hating your female teacher, representing the bureaucracy that hurts and punishes you out of spite, sadism, and dysfunction
