AskI?
What happened at the table?
There were no books
Driving Man
Saw them at the Vic in 1996. I'm old.
Looks like pizza! 5 stars
Oh, shit?
Neill and Reynolds were far too woke
Every time he challenges someone to a fight?
That was the intent of the remix. The band never liked the reverb-heavy mix of the original. Pros and cons to both. The new one is mastered way hotter, which gives some ear fatigue
Interesting. Maybe I'll put that on my summer reading catch-up list
I remember staying up for this. And they busted into Leaving Here as the credits rolled!
Interesting, have not read that one yet
Diem became a hindrance to the goal. I didn't say it was a good goal
Maintain and support a "free and independent" government in South Vietnam
So yes, I'm agreeing with you
War of 1812 was not well thought out or executed but Madison did at least make his case to Congress and they voted for it. Other quagmires like Vietnam had misguided understandings of the reality on the ground (and plenty of lying to public) but had at least a coherent mission (however flawed)

There was a time the President would make his case for war to Congress and the people and let Congress decide. Hasn't happened often, but it has happened!

Solid lesson to learn after last night. Maybe ask the Republicans to fund it? They are, in fact, in charge of Congress.
That's a dangerous policy. I think I'd stub my toe on purpose daily!
EXCLUSIVE: At more than 30 installations, U.S. commanders told troops the war on Iran is a Christian war.
The Military Religious Freedom Foundation has been βinundatedβ with more than 110 complaints.
One NCO said they were told the U.S. war is to bring about Armageddon and the return of Jesusβ¦
It's been a few years but my memories are that it was not great.
I know a couple of dumbasses that covered it in depth!
