The reason I feel that level of commitment is necessary is because of the level of awareness necessary to carry safely and responsibly. It has to be on the same level of awareness as your wallet, keys, and shoes.

Especially since Glock is the most popular pistol manufacturer in the US and thier guns dont have traditional safeties.

Guns kind of always were, millenials were the first generation of Americans that had large numbers of kids totally unfamiliar with firearms. Or Bows for that matter.

Related or not related, millenials are the first generation in which a majority grew to adulthood without seeing a dead body besides a funeral home.

I never really considered down under, my initial reaction was this was American SE. But the truck, the trees looked off, and if it was rural US in the early 90s I would have expected more farm buildings on a property like that.

Thats really only true in places the major parties think they win.

I had a friend who ran against a republican in a red area and participated in debates and was in papers, and the entire campaign was run pretty much without donations.

I also have been to county committee meeting for republicans and democrats, I swear its the same old people on both comitees arguing about money.

Im not saying they didnt matter, its just that when I think about China in WW2, I personally put them in thier own sub category in my mind.

I do the same thing with Scandinavia(and screw you nordics, I include Finland).

There was just so much going on that wasnt overt battles that I put them in a different mental sub category.

The islands were only fought over for area denial. The US Navy was trying to contest the entire Pacific ocean.

The Burma campaign was only won in 44, im talking about the US Navy being the only real force conducting offensive operations or contesting the Japanese in the pacific from 41 to 43.

In terms of straight manpower i'm pretty sure the Allied forces in the pacific were pretty much carried by India.
