THE PHILOSOPHY TRAD STUDENT patron saint: Katja Grace You're fascinated by what Al means more than what it does, and you take the weird downside scenarios seriously while everyone else rolls their eves. You think in probability distributions. The 'just autocomplete' crowd and the 'it's alive crowd strike you as equally unrigorous.

T. E. Lawrence as a cadet at Newporth Beach, near Falmouth by Henry Scott Tuke This art depicts a beach scene with two figures. The far is almost entirely submerged, rendered with rough strokes. The foreground, however, is the true gem. It is a young soldier preparing to undress for a swim. His jacket and cap are already off, as his suspenders hang around his waist. He still has his trousers, shirt, and boots on, only beginning to reach down and unwrap his puttees. This id a work that invites you to imagine the next moments, the painstaking agony of watching him undo his puttees, unlace his boots. Waiting for his athletic form to be unveiled before he joins his fellow in the sea

The operators who came down to Williams’ office for paperwork purposes routinely propositioned her for sex. “The comments were just ridiculous,” she said. “Don’t you think your job would be better,” one man said, boldly looking her right in the eyes, “if you were under the desk sucking my dick?” Others massaged her shoulders, took big whiffs of her hair, made comments about the size of her breasts or drunkenly proposed marriage. A besotted sergeant major often seen walking around with a beer in one hand and a tomahawk in the other once punctuated his declarations of affection by hurling his ax into the wall. On two occasions that both Williams and Licea recalled, aggrieved women came on base and went to the front gate of the unit demanding to speak to the commander. One claimed that an operator had attempted to rape her at his apartment after a date. The other was an operator’s wife who had learned that her husband had married another woman while working under an alias identity in Jordan. On neither occasion did the commander grant an audience. The unit sent counterintelligence personnel to placate the women and pretend that something would be done about their complaints. “There is zero respect for women in that community,” said Valeria Zavala, a psyops soldier who deployed to Afghanistan with JSOC. “I know this is specifically about Delta Force,” she said, “but it’s like this across the whole of USASOC.”
