@rohzen Me too. I did not know that the hobby is so popular in Japan. In the USA, very few people build them anymore.

If you think we’re heading for subterranean combat, you might want to follow the guy who wrote the book(s) on the subject.

My rights to my first three books: GERMLINE, EXOGENE and CHIMERA just reverted back to me!!! I own my books again!

At one point Mark and I talked about writing novels in the Traveller universe. When it became clear that he wanted total creative control I let him know I wasn’t interested in writing the books anymore. I just couldn’t get enthusiastic about his ideas for plot, etc. I wanted to do a return to the nostalgia of the 1980s Traveller and he wanted some far out very esoteric stuff - all new, not rooted in old school Traveller (as far as I could tell). Hey: it’s his intellectual property - not mine - so that’s well within his rights. No hard feelings. But rather than argue I just said thanks but no thanks. I still have all my old Traveller stuff!

I had no idea that the Air Force didn't have Warrant Officers between 1959 and 2024. All this time, I thought they understood all the Warrant jokes...
So, who in the Air Force drinks all the coffee and skips PT?

@BGibbus @ManifestHistory Correct. Citadel Cadet George Haynsworth fired what historians consider to be the first shot.
English
@ManifestHistory Love Ruffin but the first shot was actually fired on Jan 9, 1861, at The Star of the West.
The first act of aggression was Anderson abandoning Ft. Moultrie and fleeing to the unfinished Ft. Sumter then pointing cannon back at Charleston. He was unmolested before this act.
English
Pictured here is Edmund Ruffin, the Confederate soldier long credited with firing the first shot of the Civil War.
Born in 1794 in Virginia, Ruffin was a wealthy planter and pioneering agricultural reformer who restored worn-out Southern soil. By the 1850s he had become one of the most fiery “fire-eaters,” demanding immediate secession and Southern independence.
At age 67, he volunteered with the South Carolina Palmetto Guard on Morris Island. On April 12, 1861, Ruffin pulled the lanyard on a 64-pounder Columbiad — sending a cannonball into Fort Sumter, if not the first shot, it was one of the very early shots of the conflict.
After the Confederacy’s defeat, he remained defiant. On June 17, 1865, Ruffin wrote in his final diary entry of his “unmitigated hatred to Yankee rule”… then took his own life with a rifle rather than live under Northern occupation.
A true son and patriot of the South.

George Edward "Tuck" Haynsworth, a 19-year-old Citadel cadet, fired what is considered by many historians to be the first shot of the Civil War on January 9, 1861. Haynsworth operated Gun Number 1 on Morris Island, firing a warning shot that caused the Star of the West to turn back to New York. While April 12, 1861 (the bombardment of Fort Sumter) is the official start of the war, the January 9th, 1861 incident was the first physical act of war. My wife’s maiden name? Haynsworth. Where do we live? South Carolina.

The aliens looked over at me and I said, ‘Oh sh!t... why didn’t I keep my mouth shut?’
They came over to me... circled me... and stuck a small device in my...”
What the hell happened next?

The fact that they had to launch an entire PR campaign to undo the damage tells you just how catastrophic the damage is.

@PhilRay62 @TheNameofWar The only people to give British night bombing high marks are revisionist British historians who claim it had a greater negative impact on the German war effort than US daytime bombing. It was cowardly, and it was horrifically effective at slaughtering non combatants.
English
@tcmccarthy_ @TheNameofWar Well, RAF Bomber Command was sceptical and advised against it, but several USAAF Generals were persistent. Even Churchill thought it was a shit notion. Doolittle later realised that maybe some P-51 cover might be a good idea.

@simonalloyd @TheNameofWar We bombed targets in the day. Brits bombed families at night. Those are facts - not opinions. 🤷♂️
