Trump supporters are so goddamn stupid. I remember looking up something about the Iran war earlier today and I saw some lady left a comment saying something like, "Trump has what it takes this has been the shortest war in history so far 👍"
Think about that for a second "so far this has been the shortest war in history." I’m not even going to bother explaining why that’s stupid. It just hurts my brain.

I feel like that should be a meme. I’ve seen too many documentaries and read too many textbooks and seen too many articles that start with "People thought X war would be easy, people thought it would last months, but it actually lasted several years!" The civil war, World War Two, Vietnam, like… at some point, you know, maybe we could update our estimates. At least ya’d think.

Although, the weird thing about the atomic bombs, is it you google how many people worked on the bombs, how expensive they were, and how many people they killed. It makes ya think, they could have killed the same number of Japanese civilians if they just drafted all those damn scientists for cheaper.

Oh yeah and the Japanese deserved it for what they did to those poor Koreans. Just don’t google how many Koreans were living in Hiroshima. Just don’t do that. lol

Home before Christmas!
The only time this works is when it’s an assured rout and you control access. 3rd Punic War, Granada, Panama.

My thesis holds: 1971 war over Bangladesh (13 days), stupid brushfire wars (El Salvador and Honduras, 1969). 1896 Anglo-Zanzibar War of 38 minutes to shell the sultan’s palace. The winner has maneuver superiority. In Bangladesh Pakistan had no way to move in reinforcements and its local forces were too busy raping and murdering civilians.

Damn. 30,000-50,000. That fucking sucks. “Wow, being a captive and trafficked slave is awful. I can’t imagine anything worse. Why is the sky so bright?”
