HJF. That guest list... That wasn't a black tie dinner. That was an assembly of overlords meeting with the kings of their respective kingdoms. Those are the people one would assemble if feudalism is the goal.

The jokes on them! I buy one for every friend who somehow doesn't already have one. I also manage to kill one about every two years. My lifestyle is very challenging to technology.
Vevor 10 inch 240W. I've absolutely rail this thing, lent it out to my hunting Jedi buddy who also put the screws to it, lather, rinse, repeat for two years now. I used to have a meat-smoking and charcuterie business, so I have opinions about deli slicers. This unit (https://www.vevor.com/cutters-slicers-c_10662/vevor-commercial-meat-slicer-240w-electric-deli-food-slicer-10-inch-carbon-steel-blade-electric-food-slicer-350-400rpm-meat-slicer-0-0-47-inch-adjustable-thickness-for-commercial-and-home-use-p_010664867799) is categorically okay.
Cleaning it is okay, not tool-free; I taped the necessary Allen wrench to the bottom. Performance is absolutely acceptable. Maintaining it is pretty simple (sharpener is included). Motor is decent. Cheese slicing performance is decent. It tends to throw a lot of shreds, but I bet polishing the backside of the blade would fix that. Portability is the suck, but some long Velcro strips improve that. It's no $3000 Hobart, but also costs one order of magnitude less.
And now you can completely avoid Arby's and still get your Horsey Sauce fix: https://copykat.com/arbys-horsey-sauce/
I make a homemade version of the Arby's Beef and Cheddar. Even bought a deli slicer just to get that piled-up effect. The Horsey Sauce recipe above nails it. The Arby Sauce however... I've yet to find a proper copycat recipe. I think there might be citrus (lime?) in Arby Sauce but it's not listed in the ingredients.
Frame? Has to pass through the caliper, which it won't.
When I was a child, my family visited a Chinese restaurant in Washington DC, and we received hilarious gag fortune cookies. Mine said "If you're reading this, the poison hasn't worked yet."
My mother's asshole boyfriend got one that said "Some people have it, some people don't. And you don't." He lost his shit. Fumed for days, and I laughed my ass off.
The comic book was an interesting premise and what-if. https://archive.org/details/robocop-vs-terminator-vol.-1
I agree that there was unfavorable media coverage of the Vietnam Conflict. There was also a fire hose of positive media coverage, as well as a very intensive campaign to conceal how badly things were going, along with a lot of disinformation around why the US was there in the first place. Hell, I recall reading newly disclosed details about the Gulf of Tonkin Incident not too long ago.
Anecdotally, my family were boat people fleeing the Communist regime. To this day, to a one, they are all hard-line Conservative, even when subjected to profiling under this administration. I like to think I'm somewhat informed and have certainly consumed a lot of media regarding the US and Vietnam. Somehow, I only first heard of the My Lai Massacre around 2005. Again, merely anecdote, but media control by the governments is a hell of a drug.
My original points stand: we get to Monday morning quarterback a lot of shit; better an imperfect ally than more enemies; and however long it takes for someone to come around, better that they come around than not.
You are using a modern, privileged metric informed by an intensive media penetration that was unavailable during the first three campaigns you mention, and only to a slightly higher degree in the last two.
Most enlisted I have known, and it's a lot, thought they were defending the world from despots. Hell, even the officers I know initially thought they were serving the public good. The rest I know who don't fit into that category just wanted to be able to afford college and a family.
And even if the Marine in the picture knows NOW he only served a bloodthirsty tyrannical regime, the fraternity of the USMC, the commitment to the Constitution... It's some deep, deep connection. Even the most disillusioned Marines I know are still loyal to the Corps and the Constitution. Moreover, it is better that one realizes US hegemony later than never, yes? So how about we welcome those have opened their eyes and remedied their ways?
Or we can just keep shitting on allies and see how that works for us.
Wants Costco for a first date? Absolute keeper. Loads of green flags there.
