SB is worthwhile when you gain Heavy Bomber tech and no naval targets are available.
Bomber naval attacks can destroy a lot more enemy IPC value compared to land battles and strategic bombing.

The IJN should have started out using kamikaze tactics early instead of waiting until they got desperate.

The army medical teams were also very slow in development of biological super weapons.  Assuming the Navy bought them enough time - Whole islands could have been infected, if not major allied shipping and ports.  Refugees escaping Japanese combat areas could be weaponized as disease vectors.

A steady stream of cement into the English Channel should turn it into dry land after six years.  A lasting peace treaty w Stalin allows the panzers to roll up the big island / peninsula.

This episode shows that Sansa Stark was about two to three steps ahead of her mom.

Katelyn found out about the red wedding betrayal after Rob’s army already got drunk.  way too late… But Rob did not much heed his mom’s warnings before approaching the Twins anyway.

Sansa warns Jon and Davos about how manipulative Ramsey can be, but that gets drowned out by how they gotta save Rickon and unite the Northern houses.  She is gone on the morning of the battle.

Rickon shows what a lapdog hostage he became.
What, no rage against his captors ?!?!? 
Did he have any clue that to run  to his " brother " would give Ramsey a big “game” opportunity to capture or kill them both?

Hurrah, Hurrah, great show!  Fans are happy! accolades for the HBO Production team.
Let’s focus on 3 aspects/inconsistencies of the battle struck me as very odd:

I guess it would have been very bad for ratings if Rickon took a blade off of Ramsey’s belt to attack the Bolton commander.  Win or lose, Jon’s army would have started off under better order.

The Wildlings and Ser Davos saw the Bolton shield and long spearmen just run the pincer envelopment on them undisrupted.

After instinctively fighting the whole morning , they all of the sudden decide to stop in amazement at the synchronized running of the Bolton heavy lancer units ?!?!?

To get so far out of the zone, would be like the Cleveland Cavaliers freezing in midcourt to allow the opposing basket ball team lay-up after lay-up.

Sansa and Petyr appear well composed and well rested as the knights of the Vale charge onto the field.
Not panting, sweaty, or urgently worn out looking for where the knights can save her brothers.
It must have been a leisurely horsetrot that morning, no hurry at all.

Fans may just be glossing over these big battles, long overdue in the series.  I expect you guys, fellow experts in war and battle, would have watched the youtube replays about as critically/studious as I did.  I mean, a few parts just did not seem right, so I had to watch it a few times over to narrow down what seemed so wrong.

I would not like to tell these future grandchildren that my generation allowed a bunch of communist to chaotically divide yet another country as they took over.  That would be a sorry excuse for them not growing up here in the USA.

Can you explain what these comments have to do with the Confederate flag?

The division of the USA is a grave matter. 
Painful for the citizens in the 1860’s.

Painful for the free world in the 2010’s.

The former confederate flag is but one aspect of how the harmony of our union, is getting disrupted.  A house divided, can soon crumble.

I do hope that my future grandchildren get to grow up in the same great country I did.

These future grandchildren may have to grow up singing some national anthem that I do not yet know…

I sense very little love and a lot of finger pointing in the above posts.
The communists are very good at getting other peoples fingers pointed at each other’s throats.

I don’t think the word “communist” means what you think it means.

I mean communist to be the same as Ronald Reagan.

In his eyes, our nation was supposed to be “as a city upon a hill”

This positions the USA to watch over and sound the alarm whenever tyranny threatens our security.

The communists can maneuver and manipulate other parts of the world more freely when our nation is distracted or weakened to the point of lethargy.

The understanding back then, was that communism was external to the USA.  However, the sad reality now is that communists reside within our borders, and socialists (currently undeclared communists) act as about half of our elected government.

Over 2000 years ago, the generic cross was a symbol of oppressive Roman rule.

Somehow the Christians forgave the oppression, overcame it, and then adopted that cross as a symbol, and now, it labels just about every church that I drive by.

The oppressive rules of Dixie slavery were overcome over 150 years ago.
I am not sure if or when the abolitionists will take any symbols from that era to represent the freedom enjoyed by citizens today.

My personally view is against the divisive balkanization of this great country.  That can lead to decades of chaos here, creating refugees, who depart for better countries.  It happened in my grandparents old country, where the communists eventually took over.

Jesus did say there is no impact to love your friends and hate your enemies … such an attitude makes a believer no better than a tax collector, who already loves at that level.  However to LOVE your ENEMIES, that striving is what prepares a believer for perfection, as heaven is perfect, and the Father is perfect.

Maybe the former slaves can take up the generic cross as well…

Gas prices near me now hover around 2.20 / Gal  unl after reaching lows in the 1.70’s range a few months before.
