There’s plenty of girls that bonded with an obscure ps2 game in their youth. Xenosaga was the shit.

There’s also been conspiracy theorizing that the color choices for gwen in spider-verse suggest she transitioned. I forget where i saw it though.

So a lot of people are saying supply chain or logistics without really explaining well. So I’ll give it a try.

It is impossible to overstate how important supply lines are to fighting a war. Each branch of the military has a whole arm of their organization dedicated to getting supplies to where they are needed. In any given war this means setting up regular purchases of supplies, bases to aggregate those supplies, routes with bases for each leg of the journey of those supplies, and bases at the destination of those supplies. With dedicated protection for all those parts of the journey. Which still has to get from the in-theater supply hub to the front.

Ideally for a carrier group you would use massive supply ships in a daisy chain to maintain a continuous flow of supplies. The supply hub isnt supposed to be close enough to come under enemy fire, and helicopters are relatively short range and not suitable for this purpose.

So the problem is that iran has shown that with drones it can hit big slow ships in the gulf, and regionally can hit anywhere with balistic missiles and drones. So they damaged or destroyed most us regional bases, hitting the main supply hub.

What to do about that? Well they could set up another regional hub, but that would probably get hit too. They can use a base far enough away to not get hit, but that means relying on more big slow ships to maintain the steady flow, but they would need protection, except ts hard to say what protection can be given against suicide drones.

This is would be a huge headache or any career general with a lifetime of experience. What they have is a drunk tv personality who surrounds himself with sycophants, and who’s taking orders from a geriatric child with dementia.

Add to this the longevity of the deployment. Most world militaries are very timid at exerting their big expensive assets at full strength unless its an actual war because that wears them out really fast. America is the only country that does this regularly. In other words, the deployment time for a carrier group is pretty well set in stone with some wiggle room. They know how long they can keep it up at full activity.

It’s not even a matter of supplies, its a giant steel city floating on salt water firing jets into the sky shooting down potential threats when it cant evade them. This is a structure under stress that can’t be fixed with a few nuts and bolts. There are parts that can only be overhauled at a port that have probably run long overdue.

The personnel problem is oddly the smallest. They could rotate people easily on the supply ships, if the whole shitshow werent run by such huge assholes.

Fire emblem three houses. So pretty awesome as lady Byleth, depending on the choice i make. But no matter what im a super powered advisor to a world leader witha hit girlfriend (Dorothea).

Youre probably not a conservative nut. I realize my comment might be easily misread. I did not mean to imply that i thought him sympathetic, but that others of the same political leanings might.

I mean new york post, so take it for what it is. They managed to describe a conservative gun nut while only using the word conservative once. Way to make a mass murderer look sympathetic!

There are a lot of movies in the 50s and 60s that werent so much war propaganda as they were soldier’s experience. Since their audience was people who’d been through war already. You see a certain style of humor of soldiers not heroically leaping into battle, but desperatwly trying to avoid fighting entirely, and when their is fighting trying as hard as they can to survive more than amything else. Certainly there were propaganda films then that did treat soldiers as heroes, also fuck john wayne, but its in the 70s and 80s that those types of movies disappeared and all war movies became heroic, and even non-war action movies became pro-war.
