@turbopisser Heard a historian talk about a treatment report of an akkadian soldier who would chew on his arm, and would only say " I'm trying to remove the arm of the ghost from my neck"
@poppy_haze Watched a talk by a guy who wrote about the battle, and he said the most shocking thing to him was the ingenuity the japanese put into their massacres; the big ones were each done totally differently, no standard practice at all.
@lilliansboutiqu@AlexHollings52@KlnRkj Np, i forget what book i read it in, but it said getting draftee replacements into their units for the first time was a big shock to the veterans
@nonlabadao@MrXinom They garrisonex the north for a while, kept the sides apart, disarmed and repatriated the japanese, then left. This left the vietminh a safe zone to organize with impunity for a couple years before the chinese left and the french attempted to retake the north
@nonlabadao@MrXinom This probably was south vietnam, the chinese occupied the north and didn't let french troops in until after the demobilization of the japanese army was complete

@SpaghettiKozak@Forever_Wario@runclepennybags@TheAlexSylvian I thought i remember from Tooze that one of germany's problems was that women already had higher labor participation in things like agriculture than the allied countries before the war?
@tapgsp@MrKevinRothrock Its important for russia because its will be hard to get ukraine to give any territory russia doesn't actually control in a peace deal, so the ideal for them is they take the ground they want and tell ukraine they might as well make peace because they can't take it back.
@Epqillegal@FudgeSmith111@AnalyticaCamil1 Sounds more like the vdv/naval infantry tier, so elite, but still designed for normal war, vs irregular warfare troops like the seals
@marten_sorby@CoraCHarrington@DreamLeaf5 probably, but I can see the thought that you could just change it and remove all doubt. Was it worth bothering with? probably not, but I can see why you might make that decision.
@marten_sorby@CoraCHarrington@DreamLeaf5 Would an american child, who may or may not know the shoe is foreign, interpret a rice ball as a pleasant snack or something your parents made you eat like vegetables? I can see a rationale for just changing it to something everyone understood as a good thing
