The "castle doctrine" is a matter of state law, and varies from state to state. For example, in Maryland and many other states, one can only use deadly force in in-home self defense if no safe exit is possible. This is called the "duty to retreat." It's not as bad as it seems. Usually, if...

The AR-15 was part of a competition between Colt Firearms and Ruger Firearms to provide the Army a new standard rifle to replace the M14 of the Korean War. Ruger produced the "mini-14," a smaller, lighter version of the M14, but lost to Colt's Armalite design. The military rifle, which has a...

Apparently, she laughed when Robert Kennedy the Lesser told her that wearing red and drinking unpasteurized milk prevents measles. Yep, she thought he was joking.

They better give Trump 10% of their company. That'll clear it up.

Yeah, petros. Do the Dew, you silly bastard! Some guy in his basement making a Youtube video has the REAL story!

Wait. . . ninety thousand TONS of HE?

And serve the beer in cups. Small cups.

You'll know you've proved petros wrong when he goes on to raving about something else.

Down with peace n' love! Down a little more. . . about an inch to the left. . . my left, not yours. . . right there! Oh, yeah!

Wives everywhere are loading up on the boxed mac 'n' cheese!

Probably settled it with a handful of tickets.

Still and all, the "Western democracies," including Israel, are the only countries I ever heard of prosecuting their own soldiers for war crimes. All of them? No. But I served, and I was briefed and trained on war crimes and combatant-vs-noncombatant. I'm not sure that module made it into...

Mostly a strong bias in favor of the winners.

Neither is spelving. Just messing, Sarge.

That is indeed a problem. The "law of war" as we understand it was written by Northern European gentlemen in the late 1800s and very early 1900s, and embodied largely in the Hague Conventions of 1899 and 1907. Mostly designed to limit warfare to large, formal armies. They had little...

Correct! If they wanted Jordan, they coulda drafted him. No way could the Bulls have matched the offer Israel could have made!

Let us say, rather, that Israel adheres closely to the law of war. Which is more than anybody can say for Ham-ass or any other scraggly-ass bunch of fuckwits running around in Toyota pickups with AK-47s. Or AR-15s.

You're not the perpetrator. Just the beneficiary. I believe it is your law, as well as ours, that a thief can't pass good title. And the JOOZ can always stretch the Balfour Declaration and the UN ratification of its actions to extend to. . . pretty much as much of the MENA as they care to grab.
