Along the lines of something mentioned in the movies thread about Grandpa Joe, I noticed something else: The American Armed Forces are a bunch of lazy dicks.

Take Street Fighter II, any edition besides the original where you can play as the four boss characters, then pick M. Bison. Fight until you get to Guile's stage, and let the madness begin.

I know I shouldn't be one to nitpick realism in the SF series because it stars a bunch of karate guys that can throw fireballs, but this kind of stood out even beyond that. Guile's stage is (presumably) an Air Force Base, or even if not it's situated in a place that soldiers frequent, with a mighty expensive (and heavily armed) harrier jet sitting there.

So a few things spring to mind:
1. M. Bison is a Thai dictator, and more than that, is considered a terrorist by the rest of the world at large.
2. The base in question is guarded by drunken soldiers who are (presumably) drinking beers and cheering on whatever unsanctioned karate battle is going on in front of them. In front of a jet capable of blowing your shit up but GOOD.
3. The only guy who has the balls to fight back is a guy with a flat top and no guns, but can whip his hands faster than the speed of sound.
4. Bison is a dictator (we've already established that), and a wanted one at that, on foreign soil (unless he's fighting Sagat or himself). Wouldn't SOMEONE (FBI, Interpol, the fucking Keystone Kops?) know that this guy wasn't pulling an Osama and hiding in caves in his native land but instead participating in a street fight, with no bodyguards, deep in enemy territory (on a base, no less) in front of an expensive and heavily armed (but probably easily stolen, given the security) jet from hell?
5. I have way too much free time.

Given all this shit here, it's a wonder than Bison doesn't rule the world already.

Any thread that degenerates into a discussion about Kylie's ass is AOK.
