Got his ass

Funnily enough there is an example of a (early) ACW style Army going up against a contemporary European military. Its the Army of the Loire (its even named after a river!), and the other hastily raised levies of the 3rd Republic, went up against the Prussians and got dumpstered, repeatedly.

The Jackson cut, Sparkman trying to mediate, and then the liberal republican going ballistic, absolute perfection

Cold War era America solved this problem by using the M-I-C to boost government spending without socializing investment. Worked like a charm until they had to send that fancy high-tech military into Indochina...

Was there any real shot of holding back the conservative-reactionary tide in the early to mid 50s in the US or had the left-liberal Dems and the like simple accumulated too much baggage from two decades in power

As you’ve written, stories need to end. Makes me appreciate mil sci-fi authors like Glynn Stewart more, not just because they aren’t writing about how the evils of the progressive income tax between fleet deployments, but because they let their stories rest (Peacekeepers of Sol my beloved).

In the same way I feel like the Honor Harrington series should’ve ended with Ashes of Victory with Theisman shooting Saint-Just, Old Man’s War really did feel like it should’ve ended after Perry went back home, Everything after seemed like less then a sum of their parts.

*4th, 1st was the Articles of Confederation, 2nd was Washington's (Slaver's) Republic, 3rd (the present one) is Lincoln's

Man thinks secession is a viable response but that drawing out some Republican Congressmen is a step to far.

Absolutely zero killer instinct.

No better example then New Zealand

Man would’ve been made an example of for having insufficient revolutionary zeal

*sigh* Gruesome Newsom (not podcast Newsom), kill em' dead

most depressing out come of Trump II would be the GOP killing tens of millions via aid cuts, deporting and brutalizing immigrants, throwing millions off of healthcare, gutting higher education, the civil service, and it just ending up as a couple of bad election cycles and a return to politics as 'normal' like Christ man, the Republican experiment is toast if that’s the case

Last line is nuts

Montana Infighting May Have Cost Democrats Control Of The US Senate In 2014 The Montana Senate race heats up as candidates vie for voter support ahead of the 2014 elections.

Bad blood between him and Tester plus probably the same general dissatisfaction that comes when Governors make the jump to Senate

Well, always did wonder why he and Tester never got along

This AH thread from 2013 goes through Kennedy's actions regarding Vietnam, and argues (convcingly, I think) that 263 was more less followed through by LBJ and was promptly superseded once the rosy estimates of ARVN independence were revealed to be farcical
