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.
You could just oh. Fuck. Is this complaining about the planes again? The red dots? Well I got a different experiment to pop on y'all and it is cooked meals for all

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.

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.

I hate that it still makes sense when you say it like that and I read it as I'm waking up and still half a sleep.

Pox, maybe?
