But at the same time if it’s a guaranteed way to end year of bloodshed then it’s a trade off

We did firebomb the shit out of enemy cities

Yea

Lotta people don't know that napalm is a WW2 invention

Yea it’s great

I mean I don't like the idea of killing civies but shit goes sideways quickly

Example, Vietnam

Burning down entire villages and shit

Yea but they were hiding in the villages

It does happen unfortunately. Its not like we can all line up and take potshots at each other like in the Napoleonic wars. That went out the window with the advent of the maxim gun

I mean I'm tracking, scorched earth

@thedarkness05 actually line battles on massive scales weren't all that common

Usaully one group was entrenched

I was being hyperbolic, but yeah

Ree

Im brain dead atm

Earthworks existed. I mean the british took great offense to our highly successful guerrilla tactics

Yup

Still the main reason we won

Along with the help of the French fleet

And col Lafayette's military advisement helped a bit

Nah

Fake news

Yeah?

Werent him and G Wash besties?

Nah

He never met that Nigga

Huh, I guess I need to read up on it more

Totally

Lol it's weird to think that they went from being a power house to shit

Indeed. But I have hope that theres a bit of embers from the Bastille burning in them

Speaking of which, I find it extremely odd that the world is in flames but we here stateside have become complacent

It be like that. Bread and circuses

Everyone is essentially in rebellion

We have it so comfy. I doubt most would trade that for more or true freedom

You're not wrong

Ironically most people would actually prefer an authoritarian styled government

Its easier to have someone tell you what you can/cant do than make those big brained decisions yourselves. They're one step removed from serfs

^^

Why make a decision when you can just clock in and out of work and go about your day

While it is a great and heavy burden, at the end of the day the weight of a soldier's pack is far lighter than a slave's chains. At least for me it is. The problem is, most people don't see or dont want to acknowledge theirs
