Keep that post handy in case you have to repost. It’s an important post. Be bad if a little F word spelt it’s doom.
Got it.
“This is from Kyle’s book adjusted a bit for language:
We called ourselves the Punishers.
For those of you who are not familiar with the character, the Punisher debuted in a Marvel comic book series in the 1970s. He’s a real bad-@$$ who rights wrongs, delivering vigilante justice.
A movie by the same name had just come out; the Punisher wore a shirt with a stylized white skull.
Our comms guy suggested it before the deployment. We all thought what the Punisher did was cool: He righted wrongs. He killed bad guys. He made wrongdoers fear him.
That’s what we were all about. So we adapted his symbol— a skull— and made it our own, with some modifications. We spray-painted it on our Hummers and body armor, and our helmets and all our guns.
And we spray-painted it on every building or wall we could. We wanted people to know, We’re here and we want to @#$_ with you.
It was our version of psyops.
You see us? We’re the people kicking your @$$. Fear us. Because we will kill you, mother-—er.
You are bad. We are badder. We are bad-@$$.”
