Carter wasn't a crisis leader. Things moved fast and he couldn't make a decision. He's have been fine in peaceful times, but wasn't the man for turmoil. I was not a Carter fan, but for all his admirable accomplishments, the one thing he did that I disliked was breaking the tradition of...

Well, 1 for 3. The Helsinki Accords were Ford. But people don't really understand how huge the Camp David Accords were. They literally cost Anwar Sadat his life. People castigate Carter for Iran, but his biggest mistake was not getting the embassy employees out earlier. Once the embassy was...

Heavy rains in China threatening the Three Gorges Dam. Maybe Dr. Evil finally fired up his weapon. They'd better cough up that ONE MILLION DOLLARS.

That's what you get for kicking me out of the drum circle.

Everybody knows not to do it with race, but they have no problem with age or other things. The only place where stereotypes are 100% true is anything involving the gator or their fans.

I'm guessing we haven't learned that stereotyping an entire group of people isn't a bad idea, have we?

I guess that wasn't you on my lawn then.

Not at all. I haven't said a word about policy positions or anything else. I understand the desire to "circle the wagons" around Biden because you think I'm attacking in a partisan manner, but I'm not. It wasn't that long ago that I watched my father go through this. At first it was trouble...

Politics is ugly. It's always about bashing your opponent. If he has no cognitive decline, then fine, the two can bash away and last one standing wins. I don't care. But if he does have issues and he's being propped up, pushed on, then hes taking the advice of the people who are supposed to care...

@Salt can speak for himself, but I took it as Biden's going to need the support of the Bernie/AOC crowd to get any traction in the general election. I'm not a fan of any politicians, but I think that Biden running was a mistake. It does appear that he's not the same person he was even a few...

The only part my non-EOD expert head can't figure out is what all of the little flashes are. Logic indicates propellant because small arms munitions don't have that kind of velocity or brightness to them.

It can only lead to understanding and that's a net positive.

History like things to be black and white. They NEVER are. @Salt's a good guy. Please try harder to be nicer. I'm sure he'll do the same.

You do realize those "true" versions are often not really true, right? Tactics depend on the nature of the threat and evolve over time. Except the classic half pincer movement. That worked every time on the A Team.

That's when you phrase it like this: I respectfully disagree and it pains me to say this, but I think you just might be a oozing syphilitic ****hole.

Ironically, Hiroshima was 75 years ago today.

I thought the Morlocks were the good guys.

I thought the ammonium nitrate was being stored in the warehouse, not on a ship. I know they said it was confiscated from a Russian ship.
