Is this a first step in getting our troops fed?
Real food, and lots of it. Unlimited amounts of protein?

Mess halls that aren't a mess?

I sure hope so.

There was a whole generation that faced this; I believe it was Germany or Eastern Bloc countries.
Basic education had been politicized leaving an ignorant generation that spouted the party line. What was done in that case? The devastation of their world helped, because they had no choice, but there had to be more. Anyone an educator here? Did things like voice of America play a part?

NO, no, no, no.

I was commenting on the name "PINK" that is used in two instances in men's clothing that clearly isn't pink.

For example: US military uniform is tan-ish, and foxhunting coat is red. Neither is the color pink.

At no point have I ever harbored the delusion that the actual color pink should be used in a US Uniform. Shudder.

No scent contact with your skin then. I had never heard of that.

The uniforms that were referred to as "pink and greens" seem to be making a comeback, but frankly, it is all a bit confusing.

FYI: If you've ever seen an image of foxhunting, you will see riders in bright scarlet jackets. Those jackets are called "Pinks", not for the color but for the name of the London tailor.

I think we went from a sharp, easily identified military to well, not. If there is anything that surpasses WWII to Vietnam era uniforms that would be nice and anyone with a good eye should lend a hand, because frankly things have been rough.

PS. I don't know who the Army pissed off but by the look of those uniforms, they did it in a big way.

Question regarding scent: are you saying that perfume or cologne should be applied to the interior lapel of the jacket itself, or to the area of skin that would be covered by presumable a t-shirt and shirt, then the jacket?

And a HUGE thank you for your expertise.

Uniforms need to be redesigned. Please consider throwing your hat in the ring.

Thank you for your response and your research.

Dear God.

I once had someone challenge my participation as a centipede on The_Donald as "belonging to a cult". I agreed, but said it was the worst cult ever. They just kept telling people to do their homework. No snazzy uniforms, no meetings, no special diet. Just "do the research". I think somebody might be designing patches though.

First it was Fauci with the beagles, then eating cats and dogs, then the P'Nut the squirrel, and Fred the raccoon now cows and horses. What is wrong with them?

Is this feeling power by attacking the innocent?

Is it just evil?

I know that harming animals is a marker of sociopathy. Is that what this is?

Opps. A little off on the chronology there; Constantine was the 88th Pope (they tended not to survive long)
Constantine WAS one of the last Byzantine Popes.
If you check your Bible there were a number of churches - (Paul wrote to most if not all) the Church at Antioch, Smyrna, and there my spelling gives out. Rome was only one Church but once it was made official by the politically powerful Constantine things changed (for one thing the head of the church had a better lifespan.

No, thank you. However, we seem to have many removed statues that need to be restored or replaced. We also can look to adding more statues of founding fathers and important Americans.
Perhaps we might have you work on some of those.

PS. What is the deal with standing on books? Gives me a library of Alexandria vibe.

First on the list is the RCMP who was on that Clydesdale that stomped grandma's face. He goes first. (but not the horse he rode in on, horse did not want to do that)

Er, what? I don't think that relates to my post in any way.

It's sucky when being a better person is the right thing to do. Truth is I am petty and vindictive, and what retribution and comeuppance.

Must we? I suppose so, but it doesn't mean I like it.

It is "The Great Chain of Being" at play. God, then King, Royals, Aristocrats, etc. to the subhuman scullary maids. AKA us. It's a big club and we're not in it.

It is shit, and we are well away from it.
