Time to get a new lexicon. Also, btw it's not at all surprising that it's the "things that carry cargo above decks" that damage bridges, as they are generally larger and heavier than pleasure craft and more numerous than cruise ships, especially on inland waterways. Feeling bossy today? Y...

With respect to some of the previous comments above, this thread doesn't seem to be about whether war is justified on the part of unregenerate geo-political entities or not, aggressively or defensively. As I understand Josh, the question is specifically about using bombs that inherently target inno...

The US was faced with 3 plausible strategies for bringing the war with Japan to an end. There is evidence that Japan was about to surrender.

Let’s see if Texas or Maryland is slower at rebuilding.
