Toshimo posted:1812 seemed pretty legit. More specifically, Tecumseh's involvement brought it from "slapfight about the Atlantic and extremely optimistic invasion of Canada" to "actually vaguely concerning re: establishing a viable, semi-hostile native state". And now, we face a new threat from the Commonwealth: Rafael Cruz, Canadian sleeper agent.

Right down to Governor Otter's poo poo-eating grin as he was shaking hands with his incredibly dour serious opponent. I wonder whether it's Butch or one of his staffers that watched Alpha House and had an epiphany.

$1000 donation to the charity of your choice if president Hillary gets us into a foreign war that isn't in response to a major terrorist attack (1k+ dead) or a humanitarian crisis that the UN authorizes (Balkans/Somalia).

Sorus posted:I'm willing to give the Navy a pass; they do more than just blow up brown people (anti-piracy, sea search and rescue, etc). The other branches of the US military though have no redeeming features. The Army Corps of Engineers does good work pretty darn regularly. The Air Force's humanitarian work mostly consists of air delivery of aid material. Neither exciting nor high-cost-effectiveness, but I guess it counts. (also since when does "anti-piracy" not involve shooting/blowing up Somalians and Malaysians) Oh, and there was also Obama's utilization of a wider swathe of the Army for the Ebola relief efforts.

Are they ok with them being literal Islamic extremists who just happen to be our allies, as long as they are good for business? In my experience they don't think too hard about it / feel Saudi Arabia is a necessary evil that we can dump as soon as we set up enough petroleum extraction in our own country and maybe our less terrible vassals.

Chamale posted:States are allowed to form state defence forces. Texas is one of 23 states that does. Texas also generously allowed the President to borrow elements of the State Guard during the Iraq war (I think) and Katrina, but he had to ask the governor nicely because the governor is the top of the chain of command. It also has a really tiny Coast Guard like segment, which is probably more useful than all the rest combined. Actually, just had an epiphany. Maybe Abbott is just trying to make sure no troops are quartered in private homes. We haven't enforced the Third Amendment very recently! Double edit: the Iraq war thing was just a perfectly normal natural disaster deployment, it was just more important because less of the Army and National Guard were available, I guess.
