終於有個美軍出黎講人話
（不過一日後被炒）

從軍十七年嘅海軍陸戰隊中校Stuart Scheller，响前日ISIS-K自殺式炸彈 襲擊之後拍咗條片要求（政府同軍方）高層承認阿富汗撤軍決策失誤嘅責任。

"People are upset because senior leaders let them down, and none of them are raising their hands and accepting accountability or saying 'we messed this up.'"
（人們失望嘅原因係無一個高層肯舉手承認責任，或者講一句「我地瀨嘢喇」。）

"Did any of you throw your rank on the table and say ‘hey, it’s a bad idea to evacuate Bagram Airfield, a strategic airbase, before we evacuate everyone.’ Did anyone do that? And when you didn’t think to do that did anyone raise their hand and say ‘we completely messed this up?'"
（有無一個高層出黎講「响撤走所有人之前，（响七月初）撤出重要策略Bagram Airfield空軍基地係錯嘅決定？」有無吖？幾時先有人舉手話我地瀨嘢先？）

"Potentially all those people did die in vain if we don't have senior leaders that own up and raise their hand and say 'we did not do this well in the end.'"
（如果無人願意出黎承認嘅話，所有人嘅犧牲都係浪費。）

"Without that the ... higher military ranks are not holding up their end of the bargain. I wanna say this very strongly. I have been fighting for 17 years. I am willing to throw it all away to say to my senior leaders: I demand accountability."
（如果無人願意認錯嘅話，軍方高層根本唔可以再保持其他承諾。我從軍十七年，依家決定乜都唔要咁嚴正向我嘅上司講：「我要求問責」。）

一日後，佢被免職（炒咗）。

Tom Clancy's The Division 2 x Resident Evil

Tom Clancy's The Division 2 is an upcoming online action role-playing video game developed by Massive Entertainment and published by Ubisoft. The sequel to Tom Clancy's The Division, the game was released for Microsoft Windows, PlayStation 4 and Xbox One on March 15, 2019.

Played from a third-person perspective, the game takes place in Washington D.C. seven months after its predecessor, in which a civil war between survivors and villainous bands of marauders breaks out. In the game, players can cooperate with each other to complete objectives. The game will also feature raids, which can be completed by up to eight players.

The events of Tom Clancy's The Division 2 take place in the summer of Washington D.C., 7 months after the events of the Dollar Flu, which took place in the winter in New York City. The virus has now spread to Washington D.C. During the initial phase of the crisis, important personnel such as POTUS, Secretary of Defense, Joint Chiefs of Staff and other important politicians were being evacuated. The chaos of the virus began with attacks on the Pentagon, The National Mall and other landmarks. Riots followed the day after and the security forces were hit, forcing them to evacuate the capital. The dense heatwave added to more problems. The supply lines were cutoff; after a few days survivors developed communities and many of them were armed, while the criminals have developed their own factions and raid these communities for supply and control. Factions like the True Sons, a group of paramilitary warlords bent on dominating their enemies and expanding their territory around Washington D.C. These militants are led by a former JTF officer Antwon Ridgeway who, along with those that follow him, are a force to be reckoned with. Because of this, Directive 51 has been activated in Washington D.C. and thus activates a unit of Division agents who launch a joint operation with the Civilian Militia in Washington D.C. in order to recapture the capital.

Washington D.C. has been recreated to be as authentic as possible complete with well-known landmarks and buildings. Despite possible controversy, Ubisoft has stated that the choice of location was not one of politics despite the fact the chosen location is the nation's capital. Combat will be similar to the original game, with a few new features which includes new skills and new weapons. Players who help the citizens in D.C. may find some willing to take up arms and join the battle (part of the Settlements feature).
