Pakistan-Japan-Europe-US vs India-China-Russia maybe?

There's no way India sides with China if push comes to shove, China is a clear and present danger in India's backyard, and there are ongoing hostilities.

If you just mean India continues to toe the line and align with whoever is convenient in policy issues and whatnot, then yeah, they'll continue to hedge their bets between the Western and Eastern powers.

It is sergeants major. Major modifies sergeant. They are NCOs. Same with Sergeants First Class. And Privates First Class (you shorten it to “privates” rather than “classes” or “first classes”).

Where it goes different is people saying the acronym. Everyone says “PFCs” not “PsFC” when speaking the acronym.

Also courts martial. And Brothers Grimm.

But the wrong version is spoken often enough that no one really calls it out unless in formal setting like writing a script for a ceremony or something.

And years past as in “The mill stopped operations due to a mechanical failure several years past” rather than “several year pasts.”

What about for the Navy, Pettys Officer?

I don't think it's surprising that they didn't include the Space Force when writing a law in 1878.

The Navy and Marines aren't subject to it either

Posse Comitatus is a huge deal in terms of preserving Democracy in the US.

Fortunately from what I've seen, the act's fundamental tenants are pretty well adhered to by the JCOS, even in the wake of Trump trying to violate the act back in 2020.

I'll take that as a silver lining to the general clouds of right wing militias and National Guard regiments controlled by right wing governers.

The ammo companies have figured out that they can keep production steady and fleece buyers every time a Dem gets elected too, rather than increasing production to meet demand, Winchester's profits quintupled to $120M last quarter, for example.

Babcock & Wilcox's reactor designs have always sucked massive rear end anyways.

The AP1000 is such a great reactor design, passive cooling from 100% power to infinite grace? loving sign me up, build a million of them fuckers.

I've often lamented that there's over a dozen nuclear reactors within 20 miles of me at any given time, and none of them put electricity on the grid. 12 AP1000s could supply 1/3 of California's entire electric consumption.
