        Men like boobies?

        At least she initially gave the wife the courtesy of a quick, painless deletion. Damn that’s cold, and yet, still on brand for The Janeway.

    That doesn’t sound right, but I don’t know enough about math to dispute it!

      Dispute it with your fists, then, like Plato would.

    If they made it home after taking battlefield wounds to their face and head, they’re pretty much immune to physical damage already.

    Just make sure they stay hydrated and appropriately fed so they can continue their carnage.

    I will note that the ankles are surprisingly absent from the picture, and it’s giving me [REDACTED] vibes.

      Actually this reminded me of a documentary or something I’ve read a while back.

      The leading cause of death in armies has long been infectious diseases, not combat injuries.

      Poor sanitation, overcrowded camps, contaminated water, malnutrition - this all lead to massive outbreaks of disentery, typhoid, pneumonia, malaria, etc etc, that caused more casualties than actual combat, depending on campaign conditions.

        Yeah it took advancements in logistics and civics in order to field larger armies. The concept of total war didn’t really exist until WWI. Maybe the Mongolia.

        Logistics has always been the main factor in winning wars.

    You can’t just post a picture like. Do you want a new Sacred Band of Thebes or something?

        Lazerpig is in fact screaming “YES YES YES YES YEEEEEEEEESSSSS” which is concerning because I can hear it and don’t even live in the UK.
