The week's question
In December 2024, in the thread "Re: BRK: Why Not XOM?", BreckHutHigh asked the members: "What about the long road trips with kids?" This week it is put to everyone again. The button below opens the small thread re-asking it - read what others have said so far, then give your own answer as an ordinary reply.

That's been the winning move against the United States since the North Vietnamese demonstrated how to do it in the late 1960's to early 1970's.

You mean by not surrendering when the big US army came to town? Or when the big US Air Force was dropping millions of tons of munitions on their heads?

What is the winning move, in your opinion? To say “OK, we give up”.

???

This is hard for some people to understand, but in a war the most frequent outcome is that one side wins and the other side loses, and it FAIRLY FREQUENTLY is not decided by “who has the biggest canons.” There are dozens of examples of the little guy triumphing over the larger, more well supplied force.

Oh, that someone on the Conservative side of the fence would ever read a book.
