Yeah but there's a difference between "early retirement" and "7.62 tokarev to the back of the skull" in terms of getting rid of your generals.

The second option only really flies in North Korea, but in their case it's less 7.62 Tokarev and more 20mm AA gun.

Um, excuse me, but the head executioner used Walthers, because with the high rate of executions, he had reservations about Russian pistols. Get your facts right, rear end in a top hat.


(Just playing- its one of my favorite facts to share, though)

We had kids throwing rocks at us all the time. One dude had his nose broken from a slingshot rock. We told everyone, every time, before we went outside that if you ever, ever shoot at a kid we're all hosed because the locals will immediately (and rightly so) turn on us and we'll get mortared to hell and back. Nobody did.

It says a lot that we had to frame it as 'we will pay severely for it' vs. 'don't do this ever what the gently caress is wrong with you' but hey.

Size of the rock also counts. Kids chucking pebbles is one thing, adults lobbing softball sized or bigger at dudes heads is another.

One of them rates maybe honking your horn and giving the finger. The other rates a bigger response. Rocks come in different sizes, watch but don't shoot the fucker slinging pebbles. But not too hard because they could be a distraction. So forth and so on until leadership gives the men worse paranoia than the declared enemy.

Re: rock throwing. Proportional response is better than escalation. Turning the other cheek is even better. Vas's framing is good for people that don't get the "holy poo poo, what the gently caress is wrong with you" reasoning.

Worry about thrown rocks about when they stop 300m from the border and bring up the trebuchets.

Proportional response is what I was trying to get to. With a dash of "some award chasing moron will somehow gently caress it up". Even if the moron isn't at ground level.

A problem I've had since the first attempt at college is putting the thesis at the end.

Honestly if troops are involved and sane most of the proportional response will be figuring out who needs a water bottle vs who's so dehydrated they need an IV or bottle butt chug. With a lot of bitching about "wrong brown people, didn't enlist for this".

If I somehow get pics of more dick art Picasso I'll share.
