Drones have to come down for fuel. Used mainly when there is a suspected target, not for general surveillance

Taiwan needs to have capability to credibly send bombers to take out three gorges dam. This is the equivalent to mutually assured destruction.

The US military used to have amazing logistics to the point that the navy built a mobile floating drydock &supply base to fight the Japanese without long supply lines.

This logistical prowess hasn't been tested in decades and is showing weakness.

The US economy likely unable to build up to support a war economy. Everything has been outsourced to China.

A war with the PRC may prove embarrassing to the USA.

They ended a touch late. There didn't seem to be a planned endgame and they wrapped up quickly and messily.

  1. AR15 shoots 223 which is a small cartridge,egal to use in some states because it is underpowered.

  2. True, AR15 is less likely to be used to fight tyranny. For that, the award goes to the AK47.

Sopranos.

A complex look at the mafia. Main characters die. Tightly written. Very few filler episodes. Best final episode ever.

Every physician in the world uses Nazi data collected using the corpses of Jews. Most anatomy books uses drawings mad by Nazis. Just the swastikas have been airbrushed out. The data collection was never repeated.

The "watchers" protected MLK's peaceful protest . Armed protectors.

Needed to prevent KKK from driving a truck or attacking the protest. Not part of protest but the KKK knew about it.

MLK gave the government a choice between MLK or Malcom X.

Guess who was chosen? Guess who is forgotten?

MLK only succeeded because the powers that be had a choice between MLK and Malcolm X.

If Malcolm X wasn't a credible force, MLK would have been as effective as OccupyWallStreet

The Americans.

Not the best female fictional spy, the best fictional spy ever, male or female.

A show which makes an American root for the KGB is worth watching.
