Until they find out that takes a whole lot of hard work (and luck). Then a majority of them slide into mediocracy.

Germany JUST delivered another system yesterday. CNN reported that the US is speeding up the delivery of yet another system.

Also, I have it on fairly good authority (reporting and documentation during and after the war, plus confirmation from every single Vietnam combat veteran I've ever talked to) that those body counts were bullshit: "They handed out kills like Christmas cookies."

Meaning four dead Russians for every Ukrainian?

Keep supplying Ukraine so they can keep fighting Russia, who has no right to be in Ukraine in the first place, until they leave. Yes, it’s messy. But giving up territory just sets Russia up to try to take more whenever Putin thinks he can get away with it, whether he has the army to actually hold the territory or not. That’s not peace. It’s appeasement, and it’s short sighted. I know you’re fine with that, but you’re going to have a hard time convincing anyone who doesn’t suck Putin’s dick that it’s a good idea.

True, but the numbers I'm working with in this instance are post-war estimates from the Vietnamese.

500-600,000 PAVN and NLF combatants, another 200,000 or so ARVN, 58,000 US, and a handful of Australians, Koreans, Thais, etc.

And probably around 1 million Vietnamese civilians, mainly as the result of aerial bombing.

Bingo. When I'm questioning a dumb conspiracy theory I always ask about logistics. It's one thing to insist that HCW are being paid to suppress vaccine injuries. It's another to try and explain HOW, and how much, each individual gets paid.

It's not his fault that no Reaper Party insiders sent him data, he can't publish what he doesn't have access to. It was hardly "selective dissemination", he didn't withhold any Rethug data he just didn't have any. (This is what happens when the Party "leadership" insists on foisting one of the most-hated politicians in the country on the rank and file.)
