  • I don't think so. My father was in the RAF during the war. Bombed by the Germans and shot at by the Japanese. He is also the reason I'm a pacifist.

    His brother-in-law was part of the BEF, that was rescued at Dunkirk.

    Neither of them were particularly chatty about the war.

    I think that for those that faced the horror of the war, almost all of them would have preferred not to have to endure that brutality. If an earlier intervention with Hitler could have prevented D-Day, I think most veterans of that conflict would be all for it.

  • I have read through book 10 twice. I have listened through book 10 once (currently half way through).

    While I love Horatio Hornblower, I love Honor more.

    I do not read science fiction. It's just not my thing, but when War of Honor was published, Baen published it with a CD of all the prior books bound into the cover. I thought this was a cool thing to do and wanted to support it, so bought the book with no intention of actually reading it.

    Well that plan didn't work out.

    You'll discover as you get deeper into the series that even Honor knows she's literarily related to Hornblower.

  • I can't stand President Biden. I wouldn't vote for him if he were the last candidate on earth. But, really? This man is the President, and you couldn't do him the courtesy of sitting quietly and listening to what he has to say?

    That behavior is beyond my comprehension.

  • This relationship can be saved as long as the guy's wife does not start expressing an interest in Emacs. That would, of course, put an end to the relationship, but if she's one of those "Notepad is all I need" types, there is hope this can be worked through.

  • Seems like maybe you missed the press about the Biden laptop being Russian disinformation, or the President himself calling it that during the debate?

    The fact that the NY Post's Twitter account was suspended, and Twitter did not allow the link to the article shared on the platform even via DMs. While FB deamplified the news may have had an effect on the election. So obviously some left leaning individuals cared about it very much and wanted the news about it shut down prior to the election.
