Greeted a French exchange cadet in French yesterday in line at the mess hall. He turned around and replied in English, "I'm Dutch, idiot."

There's a whole bunch of comments on this post about "I can't tell the different tricolors apart HURR DURR" and not a single one recognizing that there's only one tricolor from a government accused of manipulating the election.

I mean I recognize the French and Russian flags, I was joking, and I was actually very surprised that an entire crowd of people did not know what the Russian flag looked like. Then again I'm from an ex-Soviet country.

Like many people at this point, kb, I'm fully committed to laughing off my pain until this poor fuck's term concludes.
