Smile! You Are All Going To Die!
Taiwan Ministry of National Defense Celebrates "Smile Day"
Hat tip to my friend Ross Feingold
By Wendell Minnick (Whiskey Mike) 顏文德
TAIPEI - This video is real. It is not a prank.
It appeared on the Ministry of National Defense’s X (formerly Twitter) on 8 May to celebrate Smiling!
As many of you know, I don’t seek to discourage pessimism or concern about the future, especially as China’s growing menace looms ever larger.
What I am trying to do is promote pragmatism—especially in the face of a possible scenario as grim as Taiwan being overrun and brutalized by invading Chinese forces.
Admittedly, I have a dry, macabre sense of humor. I’ve even said things as dark as: “The Taiwan Army should just hand out condoms when the Chinese hit the beaches.”
Yes, that’s bleak—but sometimes dark humor is how we process the unthinkable.
