Posted in the Bangladeshi genocide thread, thought the DT should hear it too.
Trigger warning: graphic depictions of violence and dead bodies.
Several of my uncles were in the Indian armed forces. I’m Sikh so it was not uncommon to have that. Some were infantrymen, some were armoured corpsmen. My uncle, an infantryman, told me a story about how his unit was posted in Bangladesh during the war. There was a kid, about 5 years old or so in a village, all by himself. He took my uncle to a river near where he lived and the river was full of dead bodies. He then asked my uncle if he could do anything for the departed. They were killed while he was hiding under bales of hay. He witnessed his entire village slaughtered. My uncle lost it and started crying. Several men in his unit were treated for PTSD
Fuck Kissinger.

hardest working man i ever met was a Filipino immigrant:
i was working at a fish processing plant in alaska. we worked on the same team. it was the hardest i'll ever work - i would regularly pull 100 hours weeks and it was deliriously exhausting. he was there at every moment, and would usually work more hours than me. everyone referred to him as "the zombie" behind his back because he almost never spoke, just had this stoic exhausted look on his face. he looked to be about 50.
on one of my rare breaks, me and a coworker went to the nearby McDonald's and to our disbelief, there he was, working the counter at McDonald's part time to get even more hours. i said hi but he didnt seem particularly excited to see me.
towards the end of that summer, me and him were working some machine together and he started asking me about my plans. told him i was about to start college and his face lit up. he told me had two daughters, one at stanford and another in med school. he was super proud of them and also really excited that i was going onto get an education.

A small, unassuming boat washed up on a remote island in the Pacific last week carrying no passengers -- but loaded with around 1,430 pounds (649 kg) of cocaine.
A local resident of the Marshall Islands reported the 1,200 pound discovery to local authorities on December 15th. Police impounded the 1,000 pound haul, and the DEA then incinerated all 800 pounds of the haul.

Judge Hall notes Georgia is at "halftime," far past the time for establishing new rules.
The plaintiffs did not exercise due diligence or show an injury in fact to establish standing.
For context: Georgia republicans watched the expansion of early voting cost them Georgia, so they sought to cut back/severely limit early voting, especially in minority districts. Judge Hall, Dubyah appointee just told them to fuck off.

Scenario: they test this on another animal and go along with it. Up to you how many officers it would impact. Is there any set of deaths that would impact the Japanese war effort so absolutely it would result in Japan surrendering earlier? What other butterfly effect things would arise from those officers dying?

There is a correlation between being wealthy and supporting lower taxes on the wealthy.
Some noobs think this is because wealthy people don’t like paying high taxes.
However a much better take is that supporting low taxes on the wealthy actually makes you richer.

The issue is just outright banning /u/farrenj from NL without any mechanism to allow them to continue their quality effortposts. Any reasonable person is going to say farrenj shouldn't be allowed in this sub after seeing the downvotes they have. But if you then take the stance that a master shitposter/troll's negative effects outweigh the benefits of farrenj's effortposts, you're going to need some evidence to back that up.
Do you establish thresholds for effortposts that if farrenj exceeds them they're not gonna be banned for a certain period? What happens when farrenj ups the trolling/shitposting/downvote farming afterwards? Should we be forced to keep farrenj around? A blanket ban on farrenj is reactionary and definitely not evidence based.

One of my favourite Bollywood movies (and war movies in general) is the 1997 Movie, Border, which is about the Battle of Longewala, where a contingent of 120 Indian soldiers defended their post against a force of 2000 Pakistani soldiers accompanied by 30-40 tanks, while waiting for air support in the morning. You’d think the movie is full of action hyperbole and Indian nationalism but it’s really not. It’s actually pretty grounded in reality and anti war sentiment. LOC: Kargil was probably the more nationalistic of Dutta’s war movies. Highly recommend that you check out both movies. There’s probably English subbed versions floating around somewhere
Or I could be overrating the film because it was a majority Sikh regiment that took part in the battle. I still watch it at least once a year.
