I have no doubt shaving regularly makes a person a much better shot and braver to boot but Improving lethality” is the phrase so why not just answer the question. Could the US have defeated the Islamists in Afghanistan by being more lethal that is killing more people? Yes or no? Don’t pussy out!
@IanAdAstra@xprofe831 Plus no one ever cares when non-whites perform in Shakespeare’s plays (besides Othello where of course no white actor need apply). Perhaps because people get that even the histories aren’t actually histories but character studies?
FWIW, it’s the Republicans that positioned themselves as the party of family values and traditional Christian morality all through the 80s 90s and early aughts. When Democrats discovered that Republicans never really meant it I can’t really blame them for wanting to rub Republicans face in it a bit. That said, not caring a whit about a candidates sexual morality (assuming no illegality) is a defensible position to take and one many Democrats have taken for a long time. But that’s not taking anything off the table, that’s saying it never should have been on the table in the first place.
@Ribaldo59@JasonVaughn If an immorality gets taken off the table if the other side does it then there would quickly be no morality at all just struggles for power by any means necessary.
@JamesSurowiecki People who view the two series is TV shows like band of Brothers better. And that’s fair, but I view them as dramatizations of history and I found the Pacific more compelling but I am fascinated by the pacific theater in general.
@Socdem_Michael Neither Vance nor AOC can win then nomination, at Vance's case I'm assuming Rubio is running. I'm surprised people take the idea seriously.
@AttyTMD@baseballcrank My dad navy world war 2 vet also made it to 3 months short of 100. Had 8 kids, 22 grands and 6 great grands when he passed. Epitomized greatest generation in every way.
