re: What If 24 Delta Force Soldiers Defended the Alamo?
Posted by riverdiver on 6/29/26 at 3:42 pm to Nole Man

Do you think 24 Delta Force solders could have saved the Alamo? Davy Crockett gets night goggles and 50 cals are on the ramparts. Enough to turn the tide? Enough to drive back the illegals?
How many troops were storming the Alamo? I’m not googling it, but I’d assume it was a sizable number.
Delta Force guys still bleed, and still die. Delta and Rangers caught hell in Somalia.
High tech weaponry would give them an edge, but you’re talking 24 guys against how many?

Great.
Another committee.
They’ll go to lunch, write some sternly worded letters, and talk tough in front of a camera while wagging a finger.
And nothing will be done.

The magical thinking of right wingers. Just use the word “autopen” and you have unlimited power that is not shared with any previous administration. Republicanism is psychosis.
Previous Presidents have certainly utilized autopens to sign basic correspondence. Many had secretaries sign letters for them.
No big deal.
But you’re so ideologically locked in you think it’s perfectly fine to have “someone” use an autopen to sign Presidential pardons.
For a zoned out President who has no idea where he is or has any concept of what’s going on around him.
“Psychosis” doesn’t fit you, stupidity does

What’s a “hammock”?
Ham hock?
If you don’t like onion/bell peppers how about garlic?
Plenty of seasonings you can use, I’d use salt, pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, chili powder, and smoked paprika. Some cayenne if you want heat

Why is current administration spending millions gutting the Ocean Observatory Initiative? Because the data collected supports climate change science. Why else spend millions gutting a program that is already in place?
That program was already slated to end. All they’re doing is shutting it down early.

Damn. I use a couple of dashes of W Sauce, I can’t imagine using a whole bottle.
Other than that it’s a good, easy deal to cook up. I’d add some sliced onion and chopped garlic, but that’s just me.

The fact Mellow will now spend his adult life in prison and one more life is “lost” is sad. The fact there are issues at play that led to him not having a father in the house is sad. The fact he felt the need to carry a knife is sad. I’m just taking stock of the unfortunate nature of the entire situation. It was all needless, but the hate doesn’t help. You can decry what he did and also have compassion for him. This is what the Bible teaches, actually.
1) I don’t give a damn about “Mellow”, and I don’t give a damn that he’ll spend his adult life in prison. I’m only sad that they didn’t give him the death penalty. I’m curious, why change up his name? Trying to make him sound gentler/kinder? That’s propaganda.
2) “One more life is lost is sad”. I’m not sad about the murderer, I’m only sad and disgusted that a life of an innocent person was needlessly taken.
3) “Issues at play that led him to not having a father in the house is sad”…blame democrats since LBJ, blame the black community as a whole, blame the sperm donor, blame the momma for getting knocked up and irresponsible. Plenty of blame to go around that no one will accept.
4) Who carries a knife to a track meet? Is it true he had been in trouble for previously having a weapon at school and shouldn’t have even been at the track meet? It’s “sad that he felt the need to carry a knife”? I’m 65. Pretty much guy I went to HS with carried a knife. Teachers would ask for a knife during class to open something, pretty much every guy offered theirs up. Pretty much every guy in my HS had guns in their vehicle in the parking lot. We didn’t randomly shoot or stab people.
5) I don’t have compassion for him, or his grifting, race baiting parents. My compassion is reserved for the family who truly lost a son/brother, not a group of grifters who used donations from pathologically stupid people to buy a SUV, move into a $900,000 house in a gated community, abandoned their son during his sentencing, and tried convincing more stupid people to donate even more money while they flip the race card.
6) It’s sad and pathetic that you try using the Bible to justify your twisted logic.

What specifically makes you think another civilization couldn’t be far more advanced than us?
A little over 100-125 years ago whale oil was a commonly used product for lamps and lubrication, and the Wright brothers made their first flight.
We went to the moon the first time in my (and possibly your) lifetime.
Another civilization 1,000 years more advanced than ours may very possibly laugh at our understanding of physics, much like you’d laugh at elementary math attempted by tribesmen on North Sentinal Island.

Do you understand what “brain death” means?
I do. And it’s a pretty good chance I’ve managed more donor patients from the ICU to the OR than you have.
Again, what’s the rush? I believe (not sure, but I believe) Texas law allows 25 days before official brain death testing.
I’ve seen a fair number of post arrest patients that it would be easy to assume brain death, because they have fixed pupils, negative dolls eyes, no respiratory drive if unhooked from the vent, and no response to noxious stimuli or cold caloric testing make a recovery.
And there are multiple examples of patients somehow ruled acceptable for organ donation who then wake up, including one guy in Kentucky who started thrashing around during his pre-donation heart cath evaluation (which was ignored by MD’s) and was found to be awake after he’d been rolled into the OR to have his organs removed.
So drop the attitude.
