  1. Lech, I know you are not a short term gunslinger like me, but congrats on your Gold call.

    Benson, please comment on Grenada IMO one of the greatest strategic victories in our history.

  2. etson – the episcopalian church is meant to be disorganized. If its derived from the Anglican church it needs to be half-hearted, lukewarm, doubting itself, a self-deprecating humor, and not really having a strong opinion on anything.

    When I’m down I also can’t listen to music on account of it making me even more down.

  3. >However, I reject comments that start from the premise that the US is a force for evil, as CMU just made

    I think it’s you who start from a warped premise, b: I stated facts and imo the US is and has been using barbaric practices. Answer to the facts, not to your perceived misconceptions of my attitude. And just because other nations might’ve been barbaric, no reason for us to be so.

    And to make it clear about the bombing: you raise the straw man of ‘1m men would be lost in taking the mainland’…did not say that was the alternative. The power of the atom bomb could *clearly* have been demonstrated via less civilian casualties. In the unlikely event the Japanese would not have seen reason after that, bombing a city would still have been an option
