Were Roman legionaries inside or outside the norm? I’ve seen a lot of things showing at least the modern day American soldier steadily having to carry more and more weight. I’ve seen stuff like a Civil War era soldier carried around 35% of his weight and that gradually increasing to a modern day one carrying about 60% of his weight.

These idiots whining about how certain non-derogatory words somehow make them feel unsafe in America at a rich ivy league university. The only country whinier than Israel is America.

Three videos. I don't think there's any combat footage in them, it's discussing how they've been building and testing their rockets while under occupation.

Hamas are loving badass.

And jesus christ at israel pulling "I DRANK YOUR MILKSHAKE".

These videos about how Hamas creates missiles from old unexploded ordinance and pipes can't be viewed anymore (account says private). Anyone else got a link?

They filmed the guy walking out with the AK and surrendering it twice. So it's definitely a real thing that happened and wasn't staged.

Picture one insufferable woman shouting 'is calling for the genocide of jews harrassment, yes or no?!?!' and three woman quietly stating 'it depends on the context' and then explaining under what context it would be, and then the first woman screaming 'YES OR NO?!?!?!'

So it's basically just a rehash of 'do you condemn Hamas' but with the explicit aim of forcing the people unwilling to say 'yes' out of their jobs so someone who will say 'yes' can be installed.

That's a pretty achievable sum so sounds like we need to start a cspam project for our congressional representation. Saps elsewhere on the internet might donate, but winners start their own pac.

It's not the direct cash that keeps politicians in line; it's the threat of direct primary challenges, like the $10 million that AIPAC keeps waving in front of dems it's asking to challenge Tlaib.

They can get money by sucking off different lobbyists, but they cannot defeat the might of AIPAC-sponsored candidates.

It's all about the Benjamin Netanyahus.

(I mean, there are polls showing that people are seeing the rot, but then congress goes & passes a law stating that anti-zionism = anti-semitism.

I still do really think that there's a seismic shift happening in the u.s., not just over israel but our unitary political system in general. There will be systemic & harshly punished pushback but I think a year from now we'll have seen at least some meaningful change & recognize that the I/P war brought it about.)
