Doesn’t matter. If your constitution literally states your government belief is that one race has the right to own another and you willing fight for that, then you’re a slaver by proxy.

I really want to play this but the last time I went to their purchase site I was afraid I was downloading malware and backed out.

I really should give it another go.

Ah, I have fond memories of PS2. I slowly stopped playing when I started finding less and less coherent platoons working together. I’d join squads that were spread all over the map. It had so many fun things with it too, but somewhere along the way I started losing interest.

I’m addicted to urban fantasy right now so I definitely wish we could get another swing at The Secret World. I love hidden world things like a second society of cryptids beneath the mundane and I’ve been inlove with the setting for forever.

I know the devs were talking about a tv series but… nothing.

I’ve also always wanted to do a band of brothers style series but from a star wars’ perspective where half the series is in the eyes of rebels and the other half in the eyes of the empire. But to slowly build up more gray morality - like the rebel soldiers have to struggle with committing acts that cause civilian casualties to push their objective. Or the stormtroopers slowly being broken from the imperial cult but still loyal to the concept of what it means for order.

Or like… a band of brothers style series of a platoon of imperial guardsman in 40k. Just guys struggling to survive demons, aliens, and killer robots.

Judging by my Age of Empire games… yes.

Systemic racism in the US ment an inproportionate number of drafted service personnel were black as white draftees were able to get college deferments in higher numbers.

This boiled back down to the poorer economic situation of black peoples in the Civil rights era fighting for basic equality.

The draft also caused friction that increased fraggings as this racist treatment by educated white officers or NCOs were dealt with locally. Fragging was furthered by a disconnect between draftees who wanted to just survive and glory hounds who saw military service and War as some great adventure.

Yes, you see… i want the taxes I pay to go to helping people. We could instead, say, stop giving as much to the DoD. We could raise taxes on corporations and close off shore loopholes… you know, basic good governance.

I too was infantry. And muscle memory doesn’t necessarily mean always being engaged to the process, it means being able to return to the necessary posture when needed.

It wasn’t uncommon for us to rest our hands on our rifles too when we didn’t need to be actively engaged in the current situation in any hostile fashion.

Now if we could cleanse the junk and joke guides as well somehow…

Pirates kind of had a workers compensation program.
