      Like, it could have been something like “Nate was stationed at Anchorage during the actual events of Operation Anchorage” or something innocuous like that

      But no, it’s literally one of the defining moments of the series

      A moment which establishes how fucked up the US is

      And just gleefully pointing and being like “That’s you”, as if that’s something cool

      Fucking wizards pooping on the floor and teleporting it away

        Speaking of Operation Anchorage, that was one of the weirder DLCs to look back on since the villanous caricature of the Chinese invaders makes it seem like it could have been released yesterday.

          It was especially accurate to all the Yellow Peril tropes of the 50’s

          The fact that we still hear most of them these days is just icing on the shitcake

            With the way the world is going, you’d think the burger reich is speedrunning getting nuked by China just like the games.
