i have been wanting to do that for years and was totally delighted when my neighbor said they’d seen a jojo sliwa in the wild recently

“The characteristic product of American rural society, as it developed on the prairies and the plains, was not a yeoman or a villager, but a harassed little country businessman who worked very hard, moved all too often, gambled with his land, and made his way alone.” Hofstadter, on the agrarian myth

Thanks! Yeah I was looking on airwars, but was looking for consolidated total strike numbers for those years which they don’t seem to have? Just broken down by country/theater or measuring civilian deaths (not just total use of drones). Anyways, will keep poking around.
