From the information given, I have no problem with the actions of the first guy. Of course if they were Afghani commandos it's different, but then their lives probably were in danger.

I will not shut up about the Mighty Morphin Power Rangers. I talk about them all the time and work them into every conversation I have. I built a shrine in my room for the yellow one who died because sadly no one noticed because she died around 9/11. Wanna see it?

yeah he was charging them for it and yeah he is complete scum. but that still pales compared to the standard policy of telling everyone who applied to gently caress off. the cruelty of individuals can't ever compete with the cruelty of bureaucracies. troops sure try hard at it, though!

I don't know if there were more people in the resistance than the SS, though they did have their "Viking" regiment(?) of scandinavians...

It's the government and it's captor, capital. Troops are perennially useless and counting on superior troops in the modern age doesn't seem to work. I don't imagine Chinese soldiers are very good at waging war, they've got almost no experience. But the systems in place around them mean China has one of the two most powerful militaries on the planet. Whereas America cannot make bullets without importing antimony from China.

His family has a history of fighting against the Castro regime in Cuba

quote:

On his mother's arrival in the U.S. in Operation Peter Pan, and never having performed in Cuba

Well for one, my mother did come in Peter Pan. My grandmother was a part of the revolution with Castro in Sierra Maestra [mountains] until she figured out that wasn't the way to go, and that's exactly why my mother was a part of Operation Peter Pan. So she went from Cuba to Indiana and didn't see abuela, my grandmother — some people say it was four years, some people say it was seven years, so let's just call it five years. Either/or, it's a long time to be away from your mother and also from your culture. My aunt (tía) was a political prisoner.

quote:

An ongoing political controversy developed around charges that Operation Peter Pan was not an effort of volunteers and charitable organization, but had been secretly funded by the U.S. government as a covert operation of the Central Intelligence Agency. Author Maria de los Angeles Torres filed a Freedom of Information Act suit to obtain government files on the program. In 1999, a ruling by the U.S. District Court for Northern Illinois determined that this "evacuation of Cuban children turned out not to be a CIA operation at all".[15] The ruling was based in part on the court's review of 733 pages of documentation provided by the CIA for use in an earlier lawsuit.[16] Despite this, several former CIA agents have admitted to editing, printing and distributing copies of a fabricated Patria Potestad law that stated the revolutionary government was about to abolish parental rights. This, along with fake news about threats to the Cuban family broadcast on CIA-operated Radio Swan, helped fuel the exodus of unaccompanied children. [17]

Some old officer after like WW1 wrote some poo poo about how shart sighted it was to train masses of men to kill but not train them to be normal members of society after the war.

We train up killers, but never retrain them for normal life, while expected reintegration to be effortless and easy.

I mean no one ever changed how we operate but someone knew poo poo like this would happen.
