This technology, in law enforcement hands, is going to be more useful in hostage situations and will probably be mostly deployed to police sharpshooters. This would allow them to fire on a suspect that they wouldn't normally fire on due to a risk of harming a bystander or hostage. It would also be helpful to police sharpshooters that are stationed on helicopters in order to account for the motion of the helicopter on a shot.
Bay of Pigs was a badly planned operation. It should have been placed in the DoD's hands. They underestimate or ignored the popular support Castro held while hinging the success on an uprising by Cubans on the island. Another significant factor in the failure of Bay of Pigs was the state department's insistence that no American personnel or ships be used in the operation so as to avoid linking the US to it, which was hilariously shortsighted as anyone with a brain would have known it was instigated by the US. Thus why it should have been in DoD hands.
I asked for a universal term that can apply to any given member of the population. Citizen does not meet that criteria. Citizen is a term with a specific meaning. Immigrants are not citizens until they achieve it yet they are still part of the population. Please try again.
Thank you. I am reading a biography about General Maxwell Taylor right now and I didn't understand why cancelling a game between West Point and Notre Dame would be such a huge deal. Your comment puts that into much better context!
Reality would point out that the term for what you're describe is relaxed pronunciation which in its definition points out that it's a slurring of words. Which basically means it's a "nicer" definition to make people feel better about the fact that they cannot properly enunciate their words.
But there is something that I must say to my people, who stand on the warm threshold which leads into the palace of justice: In the process of gaining our rightful place, we must not be guilty of wrongful deeds. Let us not seek to satisfy our thirst for freedom by drinking from the cup of bitterness and hatred. We must forever conduct our struggle on the high plane of dignity and discipline. We must not allow our creative protest to degenerate into physical violence. Again and again, we must rise to the majestic heights of meeting physical force with soul force.
The marvelous new militancy which has engulfed the Negro community must not lead us to a distrust of all white people, for many of our white brothers, as evidenced by their presence here today, have come to realize that their destiny is tied up with our destiny. And they have come to realize that their freedom is inextricably bound to our freedom.
We cannot walk alone.
I'm afraid that this part of King's speech has been oft overlooked. He's right. Everywhere I look the responses I see to what happened in Ferguson after the grand jury decision were of incredulity and lack of support. These militant violant acts in response to these decisions are causing the the minority to lose allies. To lose trust. To walk alone. Until that corrects it's only going to get worse.
The US 1st Division OOB has two infantry and one artillery brigade. Each infantry brigade consists of two infantry regiments, each consisting of two battalions of infantry, and a machine gun battalion totaling eight infantry battalions and two machine gun battalions. The artillery brigade consists of three artillery regiments. Two of those have two artillery battalions and one has three battalions. The artillery brigade also has a mortar battalion. The total combat troops of the division is thus eight infantry battalions, two machine gun battalions, seven artillery battalions, and one mortar battalions. There's also division level troops but those aren't combat commands and are things like signals, the HQ unit, or units for the protection of HQ and division elements. The majority of the 1st Division is currently deployed in the US.
The US 2nd Division OOB has two of their three combat brigades stations at Ft Lewis, Washington meaning one-half to two-thirds of the US combat troops organized under the 8th Army HQ in South Korea are stationed in the US. Only a single brigade of the 2nd Division is stationed in Korea. That brigade contains a squadron of a cavalry regiment, an infantry battalion, an armor battalion, and an artillery battalion.
US forces in Korea are not significant enough to provide a huge impact to the outcome of an attempted invasion by N.Korea into S.Korea. They are also not able to play a significant part of a S.Korean invasion of N.Korea. As another poster pointed out, their presence is there only to help keep the peace by providing the bait by which the US would become reinvolved in the conflict.
Some people love to use all-capital acronyms when they're not necessary or even inappropriate. GOP works for Republicans because it's the Grand Old Party while it's the Guardians oPeace. GoP would be the appropriate acronym, or possibly GP although that one would be an overload, which is fine since the contexts are sufficiently separate as to not cause confusion. As you so clearly demonstrated, GOP is an overload that may not be clear in the proper context.
"Oh, come on, man! I'm... They're here. They're right here. They've been here for a couple of arns, and I just had to... " "You are mentally damaged. " "I'm a guy. A guy. Guys dream about this sort of thing. " "I'll tell you one thing Crichton, if I find you've been dreaming anything else to my body I'll break your legs, even if they are mine."
And your point is what, precisely? Stalingrad was responsible for over a million soldier deaths between the Axis and Soviets and yet that battle ended up being nothing more than a dick waving contest between Stalin and Hitler. The real strategic importance of that city was no where close to the material and manpower Germany ended up dedicating to trying to take it. Look all across Germany's eastern front and you'll find similar strategic blunders which in almost every case was due to some order from Hitler. many of these blunders were directly responsible for significant losses of German forces. Would the Soviets have beaten the Germans without those blunders? Maybe or maybe not but the allies would have been able to easily reach Berlin before the Soviets were even close to it.
Also, that 20,000,000 people dying in the USSR was only 13 million soldiers at best and 9 million soldiers at worst. The remainder of the figure was civilian deaths or deaths that could be attributable to war crimes.

The housing for dwarfs in dwarf fortress typically fails on the safe and secure parts. So they're pretty much a bunch of squatters.

referring to citizens as "civilians." Now I hear that routinely. If we're civilians...what exactly are you? And what exactly is our relationship?
That's a very curious question. What term would you prefer that is likely to be universally correct way to address any given member of the population?

There is only one correct pronunciation of 'with you'. Everything else is slurring your words.
