I think the SR-17 just loving bothers me way too loving much. Like, you could have gone with a middle name of Oxcart instead of A-12, but whatever- but loving up and saying SR-17 instead of SR-71? That triggers me.

There is a very non-zero chance that SR-17 is trolling nerds. Or a typo?

But hell this entire name could be a troll and the kid’s birth cert is just like “Jake.”

In the past she straight up has told reporters she’s going to change her name a bunch as her character/world change, calling her entire thing “super pretentious” herself and has talked avout when she puts out her (quite good!) pop songs, it is to troll both herself and her fans.

Train people are all so weird too. Its the one thing about "well theres your problem" that I keep noticing is that train people make Sheldon from Big Bang Theory look normalish about trains. Theyre like the sports stat people that know a team's winrate on the third monday after super tuesday when the team managera uncle in law had a visectomy. I dunno man give me a car and highways everywhere so when I hit the "yeah I'm done with this now" point i can stop driving and do something else. And actually go places I want to go in a semi reasonable time frame.

His pre-war days were full of running around California in the 1840s, I think.

Sherman didn't let Ohio define him, but he had a big chip on his shoulder just being born there. It inspired him to leave. It's not like Sherman sat on an Ohio porch with a british flag and a cup of tea (because Ohioans celebrates losers like the confederates) his whole life, pushing some narration of bullshit. He went out, killed a lot of people, became a national treasure for what he did to Georgia and making South Carolina piss itself. He then led the war college for a string of years later after the war. His medal of honor is suspect, but so were a lot back then.

Gotta admire the mans' tenacity, just for leaving Ohio. Imagine if he had stayed and the world never got to see his true gift at work.

He did some bad poo poo, but kicking confederates around really, really weighs heavily in his favor.

He also learned counter-insurgency fighting the Seminoles in the Everglades. Imagine a Pre-Civil War era Vietnam were the US won by burning villages. That's where he learned that insurgents are sustained by the land and occupying armies aren't, so if you make war on the insurgents means of production, you win by starving them out. He went on to apply these lessons against the Confederates and the Plains Indians.

Here's an awesome paper that quantifies monetarily how much Sherman's March actually turbo-hosed the land it occurred on for generations

I'm having a hard time reconciling the idea that Green Berets are supposed to be the Top .01% of soldiers in the US Army with the fact that one of these Silvercorps clowns tried to invade Venezuela with an airsoft rifle.

I think the airsoft rifle was to arm the guard in their eventual brig in case they capture a Venezuelan super soldier who incapacitates the guard in a scheme involving a ketchup bottle, that way the super soldier doesn't immediately get a weapons upgrade the second he escapes
