No one, except yours truly and some maniac former-747 pilot in NZ thought the 2023 RWC would come to this:
South Africa versus New Zealand in the Rugby World Cup final, day 48 of the tourney, all are sore and beat up. Yet, here we are. Both teams peaked at the right time, Ireland fell to their quarterfinal curse while France lost on home soil. The pretenders have been sorted, South Africa v New Zealand for the final, 100 years of playing each other. SA is incredibly physical especially in the ruck, NZ can bite you from a set piece in their own end. Neither team was supposed to be here. NZ is a 2 point favorite. Jeeze, that makes some assumptions, can NZ’s pack withstand the SA force, especially at the end? If Jordie Barrett is not contained, SA loses big. NZ beats this spread.

Ohhh Ohhh!
Paris weather forecast is for showers this afternoon moving to general rain by Kick-Off time for the All Blacks -vs. South Africa Hitler Youth final of the World Cup.
So much for a free flowing innovative game of Rugby we may end up with a down in the bloody-muddy trenches with grinding Forwards football.
The innovative AB’s running Rugby where the Springboks are literally run off their feet, looks like it’s shaping up for ‘The Somme’ battlefield 2.0 where grinding ‘Forwards’ attrition warfare will be the name of the day.
The odds seem to have switched back in favour of the ‘Boks!

You mentioned earlier that one of your girls expressed an interest in being a drummer. Here’s a good video for her to watch. It’s the “Paucam” from The Warning’s show in Denver last year. The entire 43 minutes is focused on Pau’s performance, from over her left shoulder. It really shows the amount of physicality involved. As a bonus, Ale is in frame for a lot of it, and you can see the subtle non-verbal communication between the two of them.
Definitely worth watching for someone who’s interested in seeing behind the curtain a bit:

Are you a Democrat, a Republican or a Southerner?
The answer can be found by posing the following question:
You’re walking down a deserted street with your wife and two small children.
Suddenly, a terrorist with a huge knife comes around the corner, locks eyes with you, screams “Allah ho akhbar!”, raises the knife, and charges at you…
You are carrying a Kimber 1911 .45 ACP, and you are an expert shot.
You have mere seconds before he reaches you and your family.
What do you do?
THINK CAREFULLY AND
THEN SCROLL DOWN:
Democrat’s Answer:
Well, that’s not enough information to answer the question!
What is a Kimber 1911.45 ACP?
Does the man look poor or oppressed?
Is he really a terrorist? Am I guilty of profiling?
Have I ever done anything to him that would inspire him to attack?
Could we run away?
What does my wife think?
What about the kids?
Could I possibly swing the gun like a club and knock the knife out of his hand?
What does the law say about this situation?
Does the pistol have appropriate safety built into it?
Why am I carrying a loaded gun anyway, and what kind of message does this send to society and to my children?
Is it possible he’d be happy with just killing me?
Does he definitely want to kill me, or would he be content just to wound me?
If I were to grab his knees and hold on, could my family get away while he was stabbing me?
Should I call 9-1-1?
Why is this street so deserted?
We need to raise taxes, have paint & weed day.
Can we make this a happier, healthier street that would discourage such behavior.
I need to debate this with some friends for a few days and try to come to a consensus.
This is all so confusing!

THEN the TMO and his team of lawyers decide to upgrade the yellow card to a red card and the ABs Captain is sent off for the rest of the game leaving the ABs a man short for 3/4 of the game.
Then exactly the same thing happens to the Captain of the ‘boks … the ‘claret’ pours from the face of an AB and the ‘boss Captain is also sent to the sin bin for 10 minutes and the teams are now playing a man short. Seemed fair ….. UNTIL …. the ‘boss Captain DOESN’t get his yellow card upgraded to a Red Card and he’s allowed to return to the field after his 10 minutes ……. in the bin…. THIS TOTALLY ruins the World Cup Final.
Still the ABs are now really pissed off and play like they are possessed and get to within a single point of the ‘boks when they conjure up some AB ‘magic’ . They toss the ball about mesmerising the whole ‘boss’ team and SCORE a Try. The lawyers and the referee in the TMO box decide that this ‘magic’ can’t be allowed to happen and strip the ABs of their try which would have won them the game and given them the Webb Ellis Cup as World Champions.
The ABs throw everything but the kitchen sink at the exhausted ‘boks , with the now REALLY pissed off ABs pushing the ‘boks supposed superhero scrum around like there a bunch of kindergarteners, but the exhausted ‘boks manage to stat on their feet and run out the clock.
The best team, who has made all the running during the game DOESN’t win and the victorious ‘boks stagger off to the showers clutching their cup. The moron ref in the TMO studio with his team of lawyers go to the bar to get drunk. The Brit Referee on the field has forced, what was a winning team of ABs , to collect their silver medals and wanders off to collect his illicit winning at the local betting shop!
BLOODY PERFIDIOUS ALBION strikes again! Now the Apocalypse is allowed to happen as all of the pieces are in place and the South African ‘Hitler Youth’ have back to back World Cups and there is no justice in the world!

Not at the time, no. In recent years, I’ve seen people complain that we were obviously “racist,” since we only nuked Japan and not Germany.

Accept That Savagery Is the True Nature of the World ā and Deal With It
Remember the Pax Romana?
.
.
Caesar at Alesia. The Gauls had gotten uppity and killed a lot of Romans, so Caesar decided to pacify them. The barbarian leader Vercingetorix took refuge in the hilltop town, and Caesar immediately surrounded it. He had his legionnaires build a giant wall around it to lock the Gauls inside. The Gauls called their friends for help, so Caesar built another wall around his besieging forces to keep the relief column at bay. He starved out Alesia, eventually forcing the Gauls to attack and defeating them handily. Then he took Vercingetorix back to Rome, made him march in chains in triumph, and then had his defeated enemy strangled. This was an important learning point for the barbarians. Donāt screw with civilized people, or everybody dies.
This is how you get a Pax Romana.

Not too many at the time, no—though even then there were people stupid enough to suggest that there should be a “demonstration” bombing, which apparently meant that we should somehow persuade the Japanese High Command to sit in the bleachers while we dropped a “demonstration” bomb and said, “See what we could do to you? Why don’t you just be good boys and surrender?”
The problems with this were many: not only would it have been impossible to get the Japanese leaders thus assembled for such a demo, but
a) We only had a few bombs, and those developed at great expense;
b) We didn’t know if they’d actually work under battlefield, as opposed to test, conditions (and nothing is more lame than a “demonstration” that doesn’t come off; and
c) Worst of all, even if such a demonstration could be arranged and stage successfully, nothing says “lack of seriousness and resolve” like saying to an implacable enemy, “Look what we could do, but which we’re willing to not do if you hand over your surrender swords now.”
The people who pushed this nonsense then, and the many more who do it now, do not realize that we did arrange not merely one, but two, “demonstrations”—Hiroshima and Nagasaki—and that even after the second demonstration the Japanese did not immediately surrender. Indeed, when Hirohito first attempted to arrange for a surrender, he was attacked by his own generals and nearly killed for trying to do so.
BTW, as a historical note, for many years after WWII there were Japanese soldiers found on various Pacific islands who were still carrying on the war. The last such holdout was finally captured in the late ’60s or early ’70s.

Here’s an interesting song from The Warning. They apparently close with it most of the time when they play in Latin American venues, but not in the US or Europe. Note that Pau finally escaped from behind the drums for this one. The guy filling in for her is actually her drum teacher:
Translation of the lyrics:
The one untranslated word, “malinchista,” is a Mexican slang term for someone who prefers non-Mexican culture. Basically, it’s like when American blacks say that someone is “acting white.” From what I’ve read, they’ve taken a lot of heat from people in their own country for not being “authentically Mexican” enough.
Most of their songs are in English (and all three of them speak better English than most Americans). They were raised in an upper-middle class family in Monterrey, and are of primarily Spanish descent, rather than the more typical mestizo mix of Spanish and native.
Meanwhile in Colorado:

I think we may have found a clue to why no action was taken when the Maine shooter was locked up for two weeks last summer for evaluation. It happened while he was in upstate NY on annual training with his Reserve unit, and he was at the Army hospital at West Point. Following an incident like that, the Provost Marshal’s office at West Point was supposed to have reported it to the system. Guess what didn’t happen?
Just like the Air Force veteran who shot up that church in Texas a few years ago. They never got around to reporting his domestic violence incident, either.

Throughout history, poverty is the normal condition of man. Advances which permit this norm to be exceeded ā here and there, now and then ā are the work of an extremely small minority, frequently despised, often condemned, and almost always opposed by all right-thinking people. Whenever this tiny minority is kept from creating, or (as sometimes happens) is driven out of a society, the people then slip back into abject poverty.
This is known as ābad luck.ā

Yemen has just joined Hamas and is no officially at war with Israel. Now watch the rest of the Muslim world joining on the pile on as always happens. If Israel begins to have its tactical and strategic defences overwhelmed by sheer weight of firepower there is NO WAY that Israel won’t use its nukes in an existential war to the death. If the usual Muslim pile on happens this time, then the world as we know it will be a very different place.
Good luck!

Which is why there are US Navy ships in the vicinity shooting down their missiles and drones en route
If they are Houthy rebels from the North West I didn’t believe that they had many missiles with the range to worry most of the Israeli population centres. Maybe Elait in the extreme South on the Red Sea but not much else. I know that they have a few Silkworms out of a museum but not much else with any really significant range. The USN destroyer on station off Northern Yemen didn’t seem to have many problems snotting a few missiles and a small ‘flock of drones’, last week!

@ Aussie Infidel:
They didn’t. I imagine it was a nice bit of target practice for them.
The Israelis apparently used their Arrow system to shoot down a medium-range ballistic missile fired from Yemen earlier today, though. Not sure what type, exactly.
Using an Arrow to down a medium range missile is a bit of overkill . Maybe they used an old Arrow I that was just about for replacement by a shiny new Arrow II and thought that might as well let the Arrow do what a missile is built to do!

Tell me about it!
I put it down to not having a functioning government in place yet. So far 2 weeks have passed counting and cross referencing all of the million+ special votes from Kiwis scattered around the globe. The ‘on the night count is just a rough estimate. When margins are course and there is no real chance of flipping an electorate there is not a real problem . BUT there are a load a razor thin ‘on the night majorities’ that could still go either way. The Coalition of right-ish kinda partners have a 1 seat majority and a third party (NZ First) may have to be brought into the mix to secure a definitive win for the ‘sorta right’. With the current voting system of proportional voting where everyone gets two votes …. one for an electorate member and one for a party vote, then ‘tactical ‘split’ voting comes into its own.With the Kiwi system styled on the German voting system there is a very 5% high barrier to voting for one of the myriad single interest parties. Given that hurdle there can be a load of wasted Party votes, and that complicates the final numbers round-up for Party votes. Tactical voting can be a real two edged sword when it comes to Party votes. If a minor Party scores a single win in an actual electorate seat then regardless of their Party vote the Electorate winner can carry a few Party members along on his / her coat tails. This even gets more confusing in some situations when you end up with an ‘overhang’ Party vote that pushes the total House seats up from the nominal 120 seat House to 121 or even 122 seat House. This then has down stream effects when you need more than a coalition of 60 Seats + 1 to govern. Then you have to appoint a ‘supposed’ apolitical, Speaker of the House to act as a referee in the House. This may mean in a House with a razor thin majority, an agreed member from an opposition party can be elected Speaker. Now THAT can get real messy real fast, if the Speaker starts dabbling in politics instead of acting as a neutral referee. The question of minority government can also happen where a supporting party can not be part of a government but can sign an agreement to support House Bills of a minority government ‘On Confidence & Supply’. Meaning that it agrees formally to not vote against minority government Bills and will guarantee( Supply ) Money Bills.
So NZ is currently living in governmental Limbo between administrations where the outgoing Administration is being advised by the new incoming administration until an electoral solution is worked through, including the horse trading between successful coalition members or potential members of a new Administration.
This BS can take up to 6 weeks to come to a conclusion.

The beat Police know that the system has been politically captured and are either voting with their feet and leaving in droves or just knuckling under and keeping their mouths shut.
The beatings by Senior Police will continue until thereat Police morale improves!

Not saying that it isn’t significant. Just that it’s not the entire Marine Corps.
There has been some buzz about the Hamas perpetrators of the October 7 massacre, and the Hamas fighters killed/captured subsequently, being hopped up on a drug called “Captagon,” apparently some amphetamine variation, also called “the poor man’s cocaine.”
Many people are not aware that the English word “assassin” is derived from “hashishiyoun,” an Arabic term for “the hashish eaters,” which was used to describe the Crusader-era equivalent of today’s jihadis and suicide bombers. There were, of course, no bombs during the era of the Crusader Kingdom in the land of Israel, gunpowder not yet having been discovered, but the “hashishiyoun” were drugged-up jihadi killers working under the direction of Hassan-i Sabbah, “The Old Man of the Mountain,” who kept a stable of young men whom he provided with drugs and women in a “paradise” fortress, and whom he sent out on murder missions telling them that if they returned having been successful in their missions they would be re-admitted to “paradise,” and that they would also attain paradise if they were killed in performance of their mission.
Most articles discussing the Captagon drug use of Hamas killers reference the Nazis, which is apt since Hamas is modeled after the Nazis, and since the WWII German soldiers were also given amphetamines—but the tradition of drugged-up jihadi killers goes much farther back in history.

Divert and youāre DEAD!
Delta Pilot Indicted for Threatening to Shoot Captain During Flight
A Delta pilot has been charged in relation to a disturbing incident in which he allegedly threatened to shoot the captain of his flight if he diverted the plane for a passengerās medical issue.
Californiaās Jonathan J. Dunn, the first officer on an August 22, 2022, flight, has been indicted by a grand jury for interfering with the crew of a commercial airline flight, the U.S. Department of Transportation Office of the Inspector General said.
While Dunn was āauthorizedā to carry a firearm through the Transportation Security Administrationās Federal Flight Deck Officer program, he ātold the Captain they would be shot multiple times if the Captain diverted the flight,ā the Inspector Generalās statement said.
The threat came āafter a disagreement about a potential flight diversion due to a passenger medical event,ā the press release added.
Delta also said that Dunn has since been terminated from the airline.
The indictment, obtained by the outlet on Tuesday, alleges that Dunn ādid assault and intimidate a crew member of an aircraftā¦and did use a dangerous weapon in assaulting and intimidating the crew member.ā
The agency noted that Dunn has been removed from the FFDO program which allowed him to bring a gun on domestic flights, but did not add further details due to the āpending investigation.ā
Dunnās arraignment is scheduled for November 16.
Obviously the F/O had a āhot dateā at his original destination and didnāt want to stand his date up!
Happens all the time!
I did remonstrate when a Captain landing at Auckland out of LAX, tried and missed an approach due to very low cloud and fog. We hit the BINGO (divert to Christchurch point) on the second approach but thatās just fine as we were burning very little fuel and we also had a 45 minute emergency fuel load as well as the divert fuel still in the tanks. This MORON DID actually have a āhot dateā and was determined to get in to Auckland one way or another. I was head down calling the numbers with the Captainās head up and looking for visual cues, as was the Flight Engineer. We hit minimums and there was a (pause) . Obviously the Captain couldnāt see squat out the front and that meant an immediate divert, no questions asked. You could feel the Engineer getting jumpy behind me and there was a sharp intake of breath. Legally I wasnāt supposed to take a peek and stay fixated on the clocks, but given the circumstances I did a quick bob up and down, and took a peek. THERE WAS NOTHING BUT FOG OUT THE FRONT. By then we were about 150 feet above the ground!!! The Captain then said RUNWAY ā¦ LANDING. I then legally lifted my head and saw NOTHING!!! By then the engineer said 50 feet and the Captain started to close the thrust levers and round out. At 50 feet I saw the edge lighting of the runway to port and the centreline of the aircraft was half over grass and half over runway edge lighting. Then a light patch of fog passed and the Captain kicked the rudders left and managed to put all the wheels on tarmac ā¦. JUST! We then entered another thick fog bank and could barely see the runway edge lighting flashing past as we slowed. The Captain was shaking like a leaf and I told him that he was a MORON and could have killed all 320 of us aboard and I was of a mood to make a formal report of this near accident. He was still shaking like a leaf and tried to laugh it off. I told him and used the Engineer as a witness, that I would refuse to fly with the Captain ever again and if he ever saw my name rostered to fly with him again, he had better go sick or I would REPORT him for dangerous operating. The Flight Engineer also laid down the law to the Captain and told him that he would refuse to operate with that Captain ever again and would also report him to DCA as well as Air NZ Flight Standards and the Chief Pilot.
This happened because the Captain DID had a āhot dateā and āneededā to get into Auckland, no matter what!!
This Captain never flew with me nor the Flight Engineer again and must have been going sick reasonably regularly!

Motoring expert John Cadogan’s scathing verdict on electric cars
Motoring journalist John Cadogan, who runs the AutoExpert website commented in typically colourful fashion in a YouTube video posted on Tuesday which is titled ‘Tesla EVs are just too expensive to own – says Hertz CEO’.
He claimed Telsas are proving twice as costly to repair as comparable combustion engine vehicles.
Cadogan also arguedthat slowing sales has led to showroom discounting which destroys resale value and threatens retailers’ commercial viability.
The video follows a blistering attack on electric vehicles made by a top Toyota executive who questioned whether they were suited to Australia.
And car rental giant Hertz this week announced it was slowing the introduction of 100,000 Teslas into into its fleet – with only around 35,000 operating – despite first announcing the bulk purchase in 2021.
In a typically pithy and expletive-laden post, Cadogan explained why.
‘The damn things just cost too much to keep on the road and the resale value Is s***,’ he said.
Hertz Global CEO Stephen Scherr said that collision and damage repairs on a Tesla cost ‘about twice that associated with a comparable combustion engine vehicle’.
The electric vehicle market globally has been stalling with AutoForecast Solutions Vice President Sam Fiorani telling Business Insider ‘the spectacular growth we’ve seen over the last few years cannot be sustained’.
Cadogan explained this as a shortage of ‘virtue-signalling t**ts’.
‘Electric scientology-zealot customers seems to be plateauing,’ he said.
‘It could signal an end to the age of bullsh***.’
In response he said Tesla CEO Elon Musk, who he called ‘electric Jesus’, has been forced to ‘start inelegantly slashing prices to keep customers coming through its front door’.
He said this was causing a steep drop in resale value.
Mr Scherr also mentioned this in justifying Hertz’s slower take-up of the model.
‘The MSRP (Manufacturer’s Suggested Retail Price) declines in EVs over the course of 2023, driven primarily by Tesla, have driven the fair market value of our EVs lower as compared to last year, such that as salvage creates a larger loss and therefore greater burden,’ Mr Scherr said.
Prices on new Teslas have been dropping by up to 20 percent, according to Cadogan.
‘Face facts Tesla fanboy, how many 20 per cent price drops are sustainable for Tesla before the s***show just collapses,’ he said.
‘If cutting prices is the only counter measure for increased competition, Tesla is doomed.’
He pointed out that a bulk purchaser such as Hertz would be getting their Teslas at a significant discount and would have negotiated a good deal for maintenance.
‘Not even this has been sufficient to invert for Hertz the economics of the double whammy that Teslas are too expensive to repair and the resale value has imploded,’ Cadogan said.
The discounting of new Teslas was a cynical move that heavily impacted owners, according to Cadogan.
‘Every time electronic Jesus just slashes prices, this greatly impacts existing owners resale value too,’ he argued.
‘He’s happy to trash existing owners if it keeps new faithful coming in, which is not a very sustainable long-term commercial strategy, is it.
‘If you really take the biggest bath on your (Tesla) Model 3 are you really going to front up again? How much of the Koolaid have you actually consumed?’
He thought what was true of Teslas was largely true of all battery-powered vehicles.
‘It seems every day there is another brick in the wall of evidence that this insane rush to transition to battery electric transport exclusively is little more than a buffet of all-you-can-eat s*** sandwiches,’ he said.
‘And problematically I think we are running out of bread.’
In the video’s comments section many weighed in with their view of Tesla and electric vehicles and the sentiment was mostly negative.
‘If something is too expensive for large car rental company to own/operate, that’s good sign for us normal people to know,’ one added.
A second added: People are starting to realise that EVs are not the green utopia they fantasised about in their wildest dreams.’
A third said: ‘Proudly keeping my 1990’ Volvo wagons maintained and on the road. Also cant say enough how much the vintage interior makes for a welcome get away from the world filled with computer screens everwhere.
‘Yes, it needs premium gas, and gets 25mi/gal, yes it requires maintenance but overall its cheaper to insure and maintain than a $400/month car on 86 month loan.’
Toyota sales boss Sean Hanley told journalists last week that electric vehicles were ill-equipped for many typical Australian distances, stress and uses.
“It is too early,ā Hanley said.
‘What battery electric vehicle do we have right now on sale in Australia that can tow 2.5 tonnes for 600km? We donāt. It doesnāt exist.
‘If we just move to only zero-emission vehicles, what are you going to tell the hundreds of thousands, if not millions of Australians who tow caravans, who use their cars for work, who need their cars on the land, who need their cars in the mine, who need more than a 200 or 300km range?’
It was announced this week that US auto giant Ford will be cutting its investment in electric vehicles after the stunning news they lost approximately $US36,000 ($57,000) for every battery-powered vehicle produced.
Ford’s long-time rival General Motors also announced it had abandoned its target to produce 400,000 electric vehicles through the first half of 2024, citing slowing demand, manufacturing bottlenecks and low profitability.

āProportionateā ā now thereās a word of the moment, lately found in any number of editorialistsā chin-stroking ruminations on the state of play in Israel and Gaza. It seems, as far as one can follow the scribblersā woke logic, that the enlightened and fair-minded are obliged to inscribe on one side of the ledger a list of the bloody outrages endured and then balance the books by responding only so much and no more. Force of arms must never deviate from from some unspecified rubric of fairness and moral equivalence.
Simple, really, if taken as stated: The Hamas filth roast a baby alive, behead others, rape, butcher, kidnap, and burn, so the proportionate response, logically speaking, would be for Israelis to rape, butcher, kidnap, and burn in equal measure. What could be more āproportionateā than equivalence, an eye for an eye? But that, of course, is not what the solons of the opinion pages mean.
Aggrieved Israelis, it seems, should be more like the well-known Jew of long ago who turned the other cheek, with just a dash of judicious anger such as that directed at money-changers in the Temple. Well, as the world is seeing and Kinky Friedman sang, they aināt making Jews like Jesus anymore. Trouble is, as editorialists and bylined opinionistas continue to demonstrate, the refuge of relatavist thinking hasnāt changed at all except to embrace with even greater enthusiasm the notion that good and bad need to balance on the bottom line.
Rod Dreher explains why this has come to be the case in a lengthy report on the Alliance for Responsible Citizenship conference in London, where Quadrantās Simon Kennedy was also in attendance and filed this report. After describing how Texas Muslim leaders sought to have him fired from his job at the Dallas Morning News for daring to point out the radicalism being promoted in Texas mosques, Dreher writes:
ā¦ for over twenty years now, we have been instructed by the media and by institutional leaders not to ask the hard questions [of Islam], because the hard questions are bigoted on their face.
Where has that gotten us? It has gotten us to a place where open Jew-hatred is common in America of 2023, as long as it is framed as in support of Muslim Palestinians. And combined with wokeness, it has gone from something we were all supposed to avert our eyes from two decades ago, lest some redneck somewhere have a Bad Thought about Islam, to something they are proud to proclaim.
After October 7 and its aftermath, we canāt put off asking hard questions and making hard demands of American Muslims. But of even greater importance, given their far greater numbers and influence in American institutions, are the Woke.
Islamic radicalism might have been contained had it not been for the woke. You might wish to believe that these people are all still only a small number in American life, but you had better understand that history shows it only takes a small number of truly committed revolutionaries to control a society.
We can no longer suppress or otherwise avoid hard questions about wokeness in our society. It is soft totalitarianism ā but it wonāt stay soft.

I’ve been listening to NPR (“National Palestinian Radio”), and it’s amazing how, despite all the lockdowns in Gaza, and the cessation of this or that service, the “news”-people there seem to be doing just fine. They have no trouble finding people to interview; all their electronics and broadcasting equipment works, they’re not starving or dying of thirst (nor are their interviewees), yet we are all supposed to be Deeply Moved by their interviewees’ descriptions of the (alleged) horrors of the Israeli foray into Gaza.
Meanwhile—as people holding passports from everywhere from the US to Slovakia to Ungabunga flee Gaza (why were they there in the first place? Gaza is hardly a tourist destination), which sort of shows that the tight interdiction of Gaza is nonsense, these same news correspondents do not seem able to balance their sob stories about the privations of Gaza with one single interview with someone in Israel who had a loved one abducted by the Hamas murderers. Interesting example of unbalanced “balanced coverage.”
Anyone calling for “a ceasefire” in Gaza should be reminded that there WAS a “ceasefire” in place on October 6th.

Did some up close and personal punch-ups and didn’t lose a Samoan although several were wounded during his tenure in the ‘Sand-box’. His main problem was the Monday Morning Quarterbacking from One stars literally electronically looking over his shoulder and offering ‘….. suggestions’ ….. None of these General officers had EVER been at the sharp end of a bayonet among people that were earnestly attempting to kill you and your men! These would be ‘combat infantry’ rear services officers, were just living vicariously through a poor Lt. schmuk trying his best to kill as many of the enemy without getting his own men killed.
He succeeded and his men knew it! He is a true close combat urban warfare officer of the first water, regardless of the ‘ unrequested or required suggestions’ that were forthcoming from senior Corps Level officers.
Many times misuse of technology just gets in the way when it comes down to staying alive.
100th/ 442nd Regiment!
finger problem!
