Same thing with Major-General Sir Charles Townshend and General Nixon at the Siege of Kut

I mean we didn't have to deal with it much in the reserves, but lawd have mercy jut heard a horror story from a west point infantry ranger. It's amazing anyone puts up with all of that.

They might help! I haven't read them though! 😀

I'm tired of all this winning!

Hey this is a failure of the O corps. Leave us out🩷

And its so interesting how the "backbone" gets used as an insult.

I had three jokes in my first conference presentation and they all landed!

The difference and danger is what Paine identified a long time ago:

"the sunshine soldier and the [vibe] patriot will, in this crisis, shrink from the service of their country."
