You don't have the hiccups, rather, the hiccups have come to live with you. They will have a Thanksgiving holiday to celebrate how helpful you were when they settled here. But soon you will have to move out to a reservation.

You still need an organisation that thinks about how to do operations in a particular area, makes plans, etc. and there are advantages to that also being the organisation that would implement the plans. What would your constant commands be like, if not area-based?

I think the strongest argument against SF, and elite units generally, might be the negative impact on the regular army of recruiting the best infantry into SF.

The only thing that could make it more difficult for the prosecutor would be if there were many recent cases of the executive giving orders that federal judges had stated were illegal.

Then let them fill up a reservoir which goes in the bin afterward. Nobody wants to have to rinse plates.

They list schizophrenia, attention deficit hyperactivity disorder, autism, and bipolar disorder. I'd say from my understanding of Hitler that's "I don't see it", "No", "Of course not, don't be an idiot," and "Yeah, maybe." Not much of a record.
