@trueliberal1848 What, you mean the campaign where Grant repeatedly outmanoeuvred Lee, crossed the James River and forced Lee into a position where he couldn’t escape?
Stop looking at no context casualty lists.

The Overland campaign is proof that Lee was probably the best overall general of the entire Civil War
Pradheep J. Shanker, M.D.@neoavatara
Narrator: Lee wasn't all that great. He lost Gettysburg because of stupid mistakes. And when he faced an elite General (Lee) he got crushed.

@JesseVA99 @trueliberal1848 Annihilated? Are you absolutely sure about that?

@trueliberal1848 Not to mention Seven Days’. Guy took over a force on the verge of defeat and almost annihilated McLellan’s larger and much better supplied forces

@philipbrash23 @Evertxn Because “vote for us or we’ll deliberately punish you” is bad.
How does that ever need explaining to anyone?

Today we announce a new policy: In order to deport all illegal migrants in Britain, Reform will need to detain tens of thousands at a time. Migrants will not be able to leave these detention centres, and each will be held there a couple of weeks before being deported. So here’s our promise: A Reform government will not put any migrant detention facilities in any constituency with a Reform MP. Nor will we put them where Reform controls the council. And of the remaining areas, we will prioritise Green controlled parliamentary constituencies and Green controlled councils to locate the detention centres. Put simply, if you vote in a Reform council or Reform MP, we guarantee you won’t have a detention centre near you. If you vote Green, there’s a good chance you will. This is an important exercise in democratic consent, not just for our mass deportation policy, but for where the detention centres are placed. Given @ZackPolanski openly advocates for open borders, I look forward to their warm embrace of this policy. votegreengetillegals.com

@EchoesofWarYT You can thank the wide spread acceptance of the South’s narrative for this, not because the South has any great martial advantage over any other part of the US.
English
Facts. Historically the South has made up a majority of the U.S. military

@EchoesofWarYT Pretty common to see our troops raising Confederate battle flags. The people complaining about it are the kind of people who hate the United States to begin with and just use hating the South as a proxy of hating the US in general.

@RobertJenrick You’ll save cricket from the health and safety police?
What does that even mean? Or are you telling us that senior ministers will spend time legislating on whether or not a 15 year old can field at short leg or bowl 6 overs on the bounce?

Village cricket is part of the essence of England 🏏
Broken planning laws and risk averse councils are closing cherished pitches.
A Reform government will protect them.

@Daily_MailUS Calling someone who abused power at work to sexually harass someone, especially someone junior, ‘glamorous’ is fucking disgusting.

@srw_thread_div @Mrgunsngear Black troops served in the Continental Army. In fact they were fighting before the Continental Army was even a thing.
You know who tried to bar them from it? George Washington did.
You are a slap in the face of those Americans.

@Mrgunsngear Those non white faces in those uniforms are a slap in the face of the men who shed their blood to free this country from the English.

1. Having American Soldiers (guessing 3rd Infantry Regiment...) dress up in Revolutionary War era uniforms and kit is an excellent way to remind King Charles that he no longer matters whilst subtly mogging him on the world stage 🇺🇸🤌🏽
2. If a group of British citizens gathered in the UK with this many Union Jack flags in 2026 it would be labeled a hate crime.
Mog monarchs accordingly...

@DrInsensitive Would you laugh?
Administration and its cronies seem pretty upset that the West, including the British, aren’t coming to pull their chestnuts out of a very ill advised fire.
English
Imagine if Britain threatened to stop defending Guam.
We would laugh.
The Brits aren't laughing.
Nobody thinks the US would send our navy to take the Falklands, so what are the Brits worried about?
We all know the answer: The once-mighty British are now too too weak to defend what remains of their empire, even from a third-rate power like Argentina.
So they rely on the US to do it for them, but like a spoiled child, they give Daddy nothing in return, not even gratitude.

Trump gave Milei $20bln in aid, bankrupted US Soybean farmers by giving their China trade to Argentina & now Trump plans to punish UK for not supporting his illegal Epstein distraction war in Iran by giving Argentina the British Falklands Islands. America elected a madman twice.

Source: Texas Tech WR Caleb Douglas has concluded 30-visits with the Eagles, Rams and Texans — and still has the Cardinals. He’s also had private workouts with the Broncos, Vikings and Saints. The 6-4, 206-pounder earned All-Big 12 honors and is considered a possible Day 2 pick.

Chris Grier deserves an apology. The Dolphins just took a guy who many had a 6th/7th round grade on in the top half of the third round.
EVEN IF he ends up being decent, you could have had him MUCH later. Clown show out here.

President Trump: “You have to remember, we have 45,000 troops in Japan, 45,000 in South Korea, and 50,000 in Germany.”
We defend all these countries, and then I ask them: “Do you have any minesweepers?”
They say, “Well, would it be possible for us not to get involved?”

This would be the first round of the Draft if the order remained unchanged and every team selected the player that would most help their team going forward. This is the product of months of careful, intense labor. We ran centillions of simulations to ensure accuracy.

The warrior class is disintegrating worldwide.
It started with the defund the police movement in the U.S. No one wants to wear a badge anymore. Why would you? Do your job, get labeled a criminal.
Look at Daniel Penny, a man who stopped a threat and got rewarded with a prosecution.
Who protects the community after that? No one. And everyone knows it.
People remember unjust consequences. They adjust their behavior accordingly.
Now we're watching military heroes across the world get prosecuted for doing exactly what their country trained and ordered them to do, find the enemy and destroy them.
You think this ends well? I'll tell you how it ends, a draft, Forced service, a generation of "soldiers" more afraid of their own government than the enemy in front of them.
No one in their right mind is going to volunteer for that.
