  1. Are you concluding the Trumpists don't believe it based on the fact that there hasn't been widespread terrorism, or what? I wouldn't call all the attempts at stealing the election last winter "inaction." They believe it. They simply are who we thought they were: cowards.
  2. Este
  3. I respectfully disagree about the need to be shit upon. You pull a stunt like this and you're begging for it in my book. Not going to shed any tears for someone who betrayed the program like that. I'm also not down with calling a 22 year old man a kid. Then again, I'm an asshole.
  4. Pretty sure that's BS and it's only divided by O and D. Maybe it was something Herman did, he did love stratification.
  5. Yeah I just discovered they deleted them. I understand them not wanting to report it themselves, but I'm not sure why they don't want the info out.
  6. Not that it really matters now, but Omeire straight up dominated last year's camp. That's directly from someone who was there. And he's not named Carrington or Herman. I was underwhelmed with taking him too... until I saw his senior tape. He flipped a switch and was a different player. Oh well.
  7. Not really, just marveling at how bad the intel was.
  8. It's pretty amazing that just 4 days ago "US intelligence" said Kabul could be isolated in 30 days and potentially taken over in as little as 90 days. Solid analysis.
  9. Did I say that it necessarily does, dumbass? It's obviously a risk of doing it.
  10. I can't believe people in charge of public health ever thought gain of function research was a super awesome idea. It sounds like a plot device from a cheesy sci fi movie.
  11. Nah I heard it was a pangolin.
  12. We really need to drastically expand involuntary commitments.
  13. Could just say rural people.
  14. The answer is right there in my two sentence post that you quoted. Korea, like the other two, were wars the US could have won if we had steeled our resolve and been willing to incur greater costs of all kinds. We never had sufficient resolve to go all-in on these conflicts, and our collective half-hearted appetite for the fight only further diminished as the costs mounted. Another similarity shared by all 3 was the terrain being an absolute bitch for the kind of war we were fighting. Oh and also the fact that in each case we led a nominal coalition with allies who really didn't give a shit and were happy to leave us holding the bag.
  15. I'm trying to understand how the Talis are mowing down the govt forces this swiftly and easily. I mean God damn. People like to point to Afghanistan's historically strong home field advantage as part of the reason why we failed here, but that sure doesn't seem to extend to our proxies. It sure seems like whenever the mighty US military decides to invest billions in training another country's soldiers, those guys promptly end up getting their asses kicked all over the place. But why is that? My first thought was the Talis, being religious fanatics, are way more passionate about their cassus beli than are the govt forces upon whom we foisted this whole democracy experiment. But I have to think that imbalance in the will to fight would largely be equalized by the realization that they and their extended family are all goners if/when the Tali win. Surely it's not money or materiel disadvantages. Is our training of these guys just shitty? And if so is it the tactics themselves that are inadequate, or our ability to teach it?
  16. Lot of parallels to Nam and Korea. Stop getting in fights you don't have the plan and/or will to win.
  17. All while grousing about the state of education. Priceless.
  18. I knew this reply was coming. I don't think DeSantis came from that kind of family. In fact it sounds like they're a bunch of rednecks, wouldn't you know it?
  19. Guy is a Yale and Harvard Law grad with honors...I assure you he's not. He and Abbott act like morons, and it's worked for them so far. Their states, not so much. It's evil, not stupidity.
  20. Well...yeah, what's your point?
  21. Hahaha I forgot about that classic. Bless you. I'm going to relive that thread now.
  22. Surgeons busy with covid cases?
