Could this happen at your school ?

I should add some other horrible things that also happend:

Christmas carols and other religious songs are sung & played at concerts.

Every one stands at the start of sporting events. And remove there hats with out being told to. As students sing the National Anthem.

Even the liberal teachers have guns and chase bambi’s through the woods.

It could be, but I think the smart money is on the majority of soldiers being recruited from rural ("red state" or "red area") backgrounds.

I am not sure that American street smarts would be a consistent advantage in foreign cities and cultures, especially after the first month or so.

Don't know what you mean by "major" but the three largest cities in North Dakota are predominantly white. (Fargo, Bismarck, and Grand Forks)

The Art of War by Machiavelli ??????????????

I was wondering about that, too. Jomini, Sun Tsu, but Nocolo?

Anyway, I did a search and came up with this: The art of War by Machiavelli

Learn something new every day.

I did understand your post, but I was making a point of my own.

In any area that is predominantly one way, any casualties that occur will come primarily out of the group.

Namely, in 85% black Macon County, it stands to reason that 85% of war casualties from said county are going to be black. That's simple statistics.

I would classify major as having a main city population of at least 150,000 alongside a metropolitan population of at least 400,000

Well, I guess we don't have a major city, then! LOL!

(I knew I lived here for a reason!)

Hey, that was some good writing! Keep up the thin brush stroke and hang in there.
