@jon-nyc But I don’t know about the military. Probably stronger. Definitely bigger in terms of manpower. Untested in combat since the late 1970s against Vietnam. A distant memory to a couple of retired senior officers otherwise, a case study for officer cadets on how not to wage war in mountainous jungle terrain against a battle hardened military force on the defensive.

@89th said in Your Monday Morning Feelgood video: the left coast, Here on the right coast, we have a huge military presence, within a few miles of here. Each branch has several installations. The infrastructure goes for miles. That’s good and bad. This area is very strong but is an obvious target.

We covered this a few months back. To Paraphrase @Aqua-Letifer “Hey! What are you reading?” “The Science of Middle Earth, a Comprehensive Understanding of Tolkien and His World” “Bye” “Do you speak any other languages?” “I’m fluent in Beltalowda, and 2 of the 3 Klingon dialects, Sa’Qej and Kumburan, though my Kumburan is just passable and light conversational” “Bye” “Do you play any instruments?” “Alto sackbut, but only the Burgundy type of instruments. The Munich instruments lack subtleties in their tone, and Hainlain was way overrated as a builder” “Bye”
