I want to believe we could have a woman president so long as she ran on something other than being a wet noodle that's trying to be #relatable more than just being a good candidate.
Or better yet, running on something more than
"Are you really gonna let Trump win?"
The Last Kingdom did such a good job showing how
Mundane medieval warfare was since it really wasn't often grand scaled. Post Roman Europe was mostly small skirmishes with occasionally large scale warfare, but it was few and far between until probably Charlemagne (citation needed. I am NOT a military history guy.)
Brutal. There was no even match up. It was either a one sided slaughter or the battle didn't happen.

It's not a Lemmy thread without some Star Trek references
Robert Beltran (Chakotey), Roxan Dawson (B'Elanna), and Manu Intiravmi (Icheb).
All three of these actors fell off after ST:Voyager and became vile conservative shit posters. I know Robert especially likes to respond to anti Trump or anti Trump Policy tweets the other ex cast members make with "both sides" arguments.
It's sad in my eyes, but I do hold ST on a pretty high pedestal.
The Battle of Thermopylae where king Leonidus and his "300 spartans" (it was actually a few thousand of a coalition force) held off the Persian invasion of Greece.
The plan was to use the narrow mountain path to pit a few of tgeir well trained soldiers against a few of Persias rank and file. The idea being a few well trained soldiers could take out a lot more rank and file if they didnt have battle tactics to worry about.
What caused Leonidus to lose that battle is an alternate route through the mountains that let the Persians flank the Spartans and probably totally destroy them.
What's mind blowing is this was hundreds year old history when Rome tried the same thing.
This one spot is famous for losing battles and ancient people loved choosing this battleground and then losing
