RIP kbin.social. We hardly knew ye.
Hats off to them! Where are the rest?
The US doesn’t do conscription. We have something of an economic draft in this country. There’s a whole different conversation to be had about that. I suspect a non-zero change to the frequency and motivations behind our deployments to follow if we make earning privilege compulsory. Our veterans services would likely look a fair bit different as well.
I didn’t say anything about reverting back to medieval weaponry or battle tactics. More than a couple ways to make their ears ring these days even if they aren’t the tip of the spear.
Royalty and nobility taking part in actual on-the-ground warfare. I’d be curious if that would have any effect on military operations…
I enjoy both. More typically I go for coffee in the morning. Pretty stuck on the same exact coffee, but I try this and that when it comes to tea. I’ll always have both stocked in my pantry.
Whatever happened to Whiplash? You know, that spider monkey that would dress up as a cowboy and ride around on a border collie at rodeos and in a few Taco John’s commercials. Put him in there. The border collie can be his running mate… (get it? get it?)
