It’s a fully armed and operational BATTLE STATION. Does language mean nothing anymore?!
- ttfkam 3y agoDemocratic Peoples Republic of Korea Not democratic, for the people, nor a republic. Does language mean nothing anymore to authoritarians?!

- lazystar 3y agoPearl Harbor was (is?) a fully armed and operational naval base in 1942, but the stories from individuals that survived the attack, did not come from soldiers alone. Officers have wives and children; government contractors require civilian lodging; owners of bars and leisure establishments need local banks, accountants, distributors, and legal representation.
- op00to 3y agoAll those innocent contractors hired to do a job were killed- casualties of a war they had nothing to do with. All right, look-you're a roofer, and some juicy government contract comes your way; you got the wife and kids and the two-story in suburbia-this is a government contract, which means all sorts of benefits. All of a sudden these left-wing militants blast you with lasers and wipe out everyone within a three-mile radius. You didn't ask for that. You have no personal politics. You're just trying to scrape out a living. — Randall, the Philosopher
