Got his notch. Blue Lives Matter.

Yep. They get a flag on any vehicle they're riding in. The design is standard, the number of stars they have on the service color's background. But Major Generals and above are authorized to design their own uniforms (which is why Patton looked like that). Most of them design some small...

And the Conservatives will claim the Liberals are all nefarious tools of the Yellow Peril, for the same reason.

If you want a definitive answer, look to religion or politics.

Every colonel does. "Flag" means flag-rank officer, i.e., general or admiral or whateverthefuck the SPAAAAAACE FOOOOOORCE! calls 'em.

Betcha Colonel Sanders is pretty pissed that he never got his flag.

Who the hell was General Tso, anyhow? Did he win any big battles, or did he just have a kick-ass chicken recipe?

That's pretty much how the game is played.

Absolutely correct. But. . . (there's always a butt, and usually it's me). . . 1. Humans are good at crisis response, but bad at long-term planning. Thus, earlier is better. 2. Industry changes everything. Natural warming is one thing, but industrially-driven warming is likely to hit...

Queueing up at the bank? Wow, you really do live in the wayback, don't you? What were you doing, getting a sack of silver coins to pay your people?

Is there a prize for being first?

I haven't hunted moose, but I wouldn't with anything lighter than .30-30 or .308, and preferably .45-70. But there are people who do all sorts of crazy shit, like hunting with pistols. The obvious intended game for my fun gun is long pig.

Everybody lives in a fantasy. Hers was just a mite louder.

Hmm. . . sounds like y'all need a Public Open and Thorough Enquiry with a Rapporteur and a High Commissioner. Surely True Dope has a few more acquaintances that haven't got their slice yet. Or maybe just a rule "No dead fish allowed on TTC unless properly wrapped as foodstuffs. Or y'all could...

Nope. Insofar as there are valid reasons for sex differentiation in sports and some other areas of life, "they" are the governing bodies of the sports. For private clubs and organizations, if they wanna have a "NO GURLZ ALOWD" rule, I'm cool with it. You're all hot and vaporish about a trans...

Same here, on the mags. State law in Maryland. Which means I have to endure an arduous 15-minute drive to Virginia to buy my high-capacity mags. I'm not terribly fond of the AR gas return system. I prefer the Beretta A90 piston system, which is what I have in my 5.56x45. Less fouling. I've...

Well, the single, ironclad definitions of the sexes held for centuries, and led to the horrors I mentioned above inflicted on people who didn't meet the hard-and-fast definitions. Y'know, being a pizza guy and all, I have some experience with laws and contracts and suchlike. Critical for pizza...

As are trans people. Don't change the fact that they were historically picked upon, incarcerated, tortured, mutilated (oh, pardon me, "subjected to court-ordered surgical treatment), and so on. For centuries. Maybe let them have a couple of decades feeling safe being who they are, and they...

Not entirely. In addition to hermaphrodites, there are anatomical women who have testosterone levels more consistent with bio-men, and bio-men with estrogen levels more consistent with bio-women. And plenty of people with neither hormone at significant levels. There's actually more to...

Given the armor-piercing qualities of the cartridge, they might not let y'all have it. It's different down here. Weuns got us the raht t'use guns t'perteck ahr raht t'use guns!
