Just a reminder that it’s not necessary a HOA that is bad, but the people who sit on any decision making within the HOA. Just like the PTA, it seems to attract assholes.
“There may be isolated cases of mistreatment of civilians and POWs,” Powell wrote in 1968. But “this by no means reflects the general attitude throughout the Division.” Indeed, Powell’s memo faulted Glen for not complaining earlier and for failing to be more specific in his letter.
Powell reported back exactly what his superiors wanted to hear. “In direct refutation of this [Glen’s] portrayal,” Powell concluded, “is the fact that relations between Americal soldiers and the Vietnamese people are excellent.”
Powell’s findings, of course, were false. But it would take another Americal hero, an infantryman named Ron Ridenhour, to piece together the truth about the atrocity at My Lai. After returning to the United States, Ridenhour interviewed Americal comrades who had participated in the massacre.
On his own, Ridenhour compiled this shocking information into a report and forwarded it to the Army inspector general. The IG’s office conducted an aggressive official investigation and the Army finally faced the horrible truth. Courts martial were held against officers and enlisted men implicated in the murder of the My Lai civilians.
But Powell’s peripheral role in the My Lai cover-up did not slow his climb up the Army’s ladder. Powell pleaded ignorance about the actual My Lai massacre, which pre-dated his arrival at the Americal. Glen’s letter disappeared into the National Archives — to be unearthed only years later by British journalists Michael Bilton and Kevin Sims for their book Four Hours in My Lai. In his best-selling memoirs, Powell did not mention his brush-off of Tom Glen’s complaint.
Just don’t bring up anthrax. He hates talking about that. O wait. He dead.
We like to say "we're better than this." But if we're still doing it, funding it, sending weapons, cheering it on, excusing it, we aren't.
I'm understanding something, now; that's why legendary Jesus said if you did it in your heart, you've done it. Rooting it out of action is hard; in thought, harder. In the shadow self (heart), maybe impossible, maybe not. But it's important to acknowledge it and face it head on, lest it consume us.
I'm beginning to recall something else now, I once read about, called hsin hsin ming. I need to understand that better.
It says he lived in obscurity for decades. It then says the Washington Post found his death certificate. Someone must have noticed it for some reason and then reported on it once found.
I wonder if they’re just stepping down to give the appearance that Project 2025’s ideas are dead to try to make Trump appear as less extremist to undecided voters.
Ramsey said Stout’s blood alcohol content was above the legal limit when he was arrested Thursday and said that “involuntary intoxication is not a defense for arson.”
So he was drunk driving and …
“This didn’t have to happen. He was pulling off the side of the road over the burn and into the grass and trying to get out of the grass by making an effort to rev the engine and get out, causing a fire,” Ramsey said.
…ran off the road into high (dry grass) because he was drunk and lost control?
So its possible he didn’t set out to start a fire, but had PLENTY of negligence to cause it, then ran away from it. Lock him up.
On its surface that’s not a horrible position for a government to take.
It’s not unreasonable for the national government (in any country) to give some level of local preference to all procurement, not only something symbolic like flags. That would actually incentivize companies to onshore more of their manufacturing - or at least slow down their offshoring.
Yeah honestly national symbol items being made locally just makes sense for so many reasons if possible and this is definitely possible. Especially since it should be the purpose of the national government to support internal functions and business before external whenever possible right?
With of course like allowments for maybe raw materials or specialized things if it’s not possible. I would get this feeling silly for a country like Vanuatu but the US has resources aplenty.
Plus in times of broken down supply lines it provides at least one manufacturing plant to rely on. This is also true of the military already for those reasons.

my anecdotal experience would have led me to believe at least 2x as much.
people over the age of 40 or in rural & poor life situations are very much still in the closet; while people who don’t fit either category are the opposite.
You mean the end of outsourced labor and production of local goods? (For this product and potential work towards more happy now?) A key issue for may people on both sides of the aisle as seen by the bipartisan support?
Yeah I guess it is good then.
Edit: I was being as exaggerated as everyone else saying a flag will enrich a single person in here but now people want to be pedantic when pointing out this is a thing to support being worked towards. Of course. Misery loves company right?
