Hard disagree there. BoB was a psyop to get flyover kids to sign up to be like their grandpappy and instead be grist for the forever war.

Tbh i blame the company more than the h1bs for that mess. How did they not have metrics for success and a team leader they were answerable to

They don't love it, they hate Southerners.

Their misappropriation of folks and y'all is the worst thing done to the South since Reconstruction

Repubs never have had the ground game that Dems have.

Jest look at the demographics of who votes for who.

Lots of teachers and unionized white collar workers who have no problem getting time off to be pol workers, ballot counters etc compared to the average republican voter

Tinfoil hat firmly on.

China has been promised Taiwan.

This is being bungled badly in order to poison the well and make sure that a US domestic movement in support of military intervention in the Straits is choked before it even begins.

I think pose whatever questions you have to get things started is a good idea. Heading to the gym with this loaded as an audiobook so I'll be back to the thread

Only just noticed this but happy to take part and glad to see troopers won. I've read it a bunch of times but always glad to do a re-read.

Not my cup of tea usually but Soygon has a great little vid about the politics of Starship troopers. Wouldn't recommend it for first time readers since there are spoilers galore though.

I think it's exactly why. It's a reality check.

I had an ex who was a regional BJJ champ but really only trained with other girls.

I don't compete at all, suck technically, but I was able to demolish her in spars unless she pulled off a stroke. Even when she got a hold I could power through them in a way here usual opponents jest couldn't

She hated it but admitted it was a net positive experience because it taught her jest hire different we were built

You can thank Heinlein for the spatial thinking bs. It's not based on science but entered the zeitgeist after he and a bunch of copycats used it as a trope to justify having women in space

By that logic surely getting the email to opt out is jest as triggering

They're not equal to the task.

Plenty of men serve in the rear echelon. The armed forces need people to do non combat tasks. Might as well use those who aren't suited to combat in the first place.

Women are already serving so there's no logic in not being eligible for the draft.

Ideally theyd be drafted into rear echelon roles. You know, where they're already serving.

No, that's the consequence, not what most of the spergs were voting for
