    Until Every Drop of Blood Is Paid: A More Radical American Civil War

    It all makes sense because when they talk about their "god-given rights", all they mean is "our god-given rights to own slaves". It really was all about slavery for the South, and all the "rights" mentioned were just attempts to sound more noble. The South was fighting for slavery, nothing more...

    A Blunted Sickle - Thread II

    And they were quite discriminated as well. Check the Zabern Affair.

    A Blunted Sickle - Thread II

    Please take it to Chat. And please define your terms first - the common US view of "socialism" isn't exactly what the rest of the world considers socialism.

    April 1942 Alternate Indian Ocean

    You just need to lock the ammunition away. And, of course, teach the kids about weapon safety. Alternatively, don't have ammunition in the house and only buy some when you go shooting.

    A Blunted Sickle - Thread II

    Just rig the intercom headphones so they are part of a helmet, and the tankers will have to wear a helmet.

    HMS EAGLE in the Falklands

    Many ports can service even bigger ships.

    A Blunted Sickle - Thread II

    You can do all that with regular carriers in peacetime - good training for the crew.

    HMS EAGLE in the Falklands

    The thing is, the UK government is expected to support UK companies, not US companies. And unless the US decides to gift a carrier to the UK, that argument beats all the others.

    HMS EAGLE in the Falklands

    The UK government ordering a carrier in the USA instead of ordering from British yards would be a former UK government in a hurry.

    HMS EAGLE in the Falklands

    Any pilot going after the British again has to be suicidal after these losses.

    A Blunted Sickle - Thread II

    It kept the soldiers going for longer stretches of time. All sides used them, AFAIK, but the Germans were especially eager until they noticed the side-effects.

    HMS EAGLE in the Falklands

    Ask the Russians if you can license their design? Plenty of room for missiles there :P

    The Man in the High Castle on Amazon Prime

    Let's hope that if there's a war, the director and writer of the episode knows their military weapons and tactics, and won't show us the battleships do anything but get sunk against such opposition.

    The Man in the High Castle on Amazon Prime

    So the series didn't explain it yet.

    The Man in the High Castle on Amazon Prime

    I'm asking how in hell the Japanese had the resources - men, ships, and, most of all, the supply train, to launch those invasions across the Pacific.

    The Man in the High Castle on Amazon Prime

    Have they finally explained how the Japanese had the means to invade Hawaii, much less the continental US? Each time I hear about the series, I go "That's Sea Lion squared. At least."

    HMS EAGLE in the Falklands

    And wiping out the Argentine Air Force will make peace negotiations easier. Argentina won't have any means left to threaten the Falklands.

    HMS EAGLE in the Falklands

    So, while there'll be a few ships sunk, I think after erasing the Argentine Navy, the Argentine Air Force is next on the chopping block.

    HMS EAGLE in the Falklands

    And the missiles from the ships - though those are negated by the terrain and approach, I think. Maybe the army has some air defence set up already as well?

    HMS EAGLE in the Falklands

    Ouch. That will see some ships sunk, I fear - there seem to be too many aircraft headed out to fend them off completely.
