Post #4529 by Lapsody on the US Policy board

When visiting Shrewd'm with a laptop, it can be pleasant to hold Command (or Ctrl with Windows) and '+' a few times. The site scales to allow any font size, and the larger font can be pleasant to read even for Shrewds with perfect sight! For luxury Shrewdness, you can combine that with setting the browser to full screen. You'll then find yourself Shrewding a lot.

Did you know that non-US citizens can serve in our military? I know for a fact that Filipino nationals served in the US Navy, and probably still do. I knew some when I was in. (And they are mean/tough DIs in boot camp!) It's a pathway to citizenship for them, if they choose. I'm sure there are restrictions about who can serve.

We gave a sad history of how we've treated foreigners who joined our military. I've seen PTSD take down friends of mine, lost track as they disappeared into the din. Mental health is a big problem. One successful vet I met dealt with his pain by smoking pot. Doesn't lessen the pain, he said, it just takes it from here to here - and moved his hand from in front of his eyes to the side of his head and out a tad. But be could live that way.

The Republican Party is great at marching off to war, but it doesn't want to deal with the aftermath.
