Bay of Pigs was a badly planned operation. It should have been placed in the DoD's hands. They underestimate or ignored the popular support Castro held while hinging the success on an uprising by Cubans on the island. Another significant factor in the failure of Bay of Pigs was the state department's insistence that no American personnel or ships be used in the operation so as to avoid linking the US to it, which was hilariously shortsighted as anyone with a brain would have known it was instigated by the US. Thus why it should have been in DoD hands.

If you're posting speed cams in a place where a single 88mph vehicle elevates the average from 40mph to 55mph then you're an idiot.

We follow the Gregorian calendar. Newton was born on December 25th of the Julian calender. Newton's birthday isn't for another 6 days.

I asked for a universal term that can apply to any given member of the population. Citizen does not meet that criteria. Citizen is a term with a specific meaning. Immigrants are not citizens until they achieve it yet they are still part of the population. Please try again.

That's a very curious question. What term would you prefer that is likely to be universally correct way to address any given member of the population?

Thank you. I am reading a biography about General Maxwell Taylor right now and I didn't understand why cancelling a game between West Point and Notre Dame would be such a huge deal. Your comment puts that into much better context!

Reality would point out that the term for what you're describe is relaxed pronunciation which in its definition points out that it's a slurring of words. Which basically means it's a "nicer" definition to make people feel better about the fact that they cannot properly enunciate their words.

There is only one correct pronunciation of 'with you'. Everything else is slurring your words.

Blessed is the mind to small to doubt.

I'm afraid that this part of King's speech has been oft overlooked. He's right. Everywhere I look the responses I see to what happened in Ferguson after the grand jury decision were of incredulity and lack of support. These militant violant acts in response to these decisions are causing the the minority to lose allies. To lose trust. To walk alone. Until that corrects it's only going to get worse.

I hate that song but mostly because she says "chew" so many god damn times during it.

The US 1st Division OOB has two infantry and one artillery brigade. Each infantry brigade consists of two infantry regiments, each consisting of two battalions of infantry, and a machine gun battalion totaling eight infantry battalions and two machine gun battalions. The artillery brigade consists of three artillery regiments. Two of those have two artillery battalions and one has three battalions. The artillery brigade also has a mortar battalion. The total combat troops of the division is thus eight infantry battalions, two machine gun battalions, seven artillery battalions, and one mortar battalions. There's also division level troops but those aren't combat commands and are things like signals, the HQ unit, or units for the protection of HQ and division elements. The majority of the 1st Division is currently deployed in the US.

The US 2nd Division OOB has two of their three combat brigades stations at Ft Lewis, Washington meaning one-half to two-thirds of the US combat troops organized under the 8th Army HQ in South Korea are stationed in the US. Only a single brigade of the 2nd Division is stationed in Korea. That brigade contains a squadron of a cavalry regiment, an infantry battalion, an armor battalion, and an artillery battalion.

US forces in Korea are not significant enough to provide a huge impact to the outcome of an attempted invasion by N.Korea into S.Korea. They are also not able to play a significant part of a S.Korean invasion of N.Korea. As another poster pointed out, their presence is there only to help keep the peace by providing the bait by which the US would become reinvolved in the conflict.

Also assuming humans use the same style of engine technology for millions of years.
