Situation Report
YOUR HOMETOWN — Local Angry Internet Veterans are brainstorming, outlining, writing, and practicing their Angry Veterans Day Rants at this very moment at a place very close to you, Duffel Blog has learned.
Don Burke, a leader in the burgeoning field of angry veteran rants, understands that Veterans Day is ground zero for Angry Vet Opinions, but worries that the average streamer of his video rants doesn't realize the amount of time and effort required to make them look natural.
"First I like to isolate myself from the corrupting touch of women for at least a week. Then I have to take at least three times the recommended pre-workout supplements from my signature line at GNC," Burke told reporters. "After that I have to listen to Drowning Pool and do bicep curls until my veins are really popping. Then I go back to my list of Strong Veteran Opinions that I prepared weeks before and do a couple of rehearsals. Then I record the entire video about two days early so I have time to do some gentle editing to make sure that I look more swole and more angry."
