Something I find fascinating are the number of combat training movies used during WWII now being released over YT and other places.
One of the shorts I recently saw was a brief primer on hand-hand and close in combat. And what did the narrator explain? This wasn't a situation for fair play; anything goes. So, they demonstrated groin kicks, throw sand/objects, playing resigned in order to surrender, then springing forth with a knife for the kill, etc.
Part of popular American dogma is to assume there's some element of 'fair play', as if we're somehow different or better. That's great for bringing up children during their school years, but then when they're drafted for the front lines at 18, they get the direct truth explained to them in graphic detail.
I have had this conversation before. I don’t necessarily disagree but am pointing out the DANGER of acting like them.
Regarding the fake news , Our strong point is the truth, it differentiates us from them.
Notice Trump deals with the truth in create ways and is getting thru the fog.
