The draft in the USA was far worse though possum if we use the number of body bags as the criterion for tragedy.

Yes, it was, you have heard the song 'Fifty Thousand Names Carved in the Wall'.

And what about the many more Vietnamese casualties, like today in Iraq, Syria and Beirut? Local deaths are ignored by the mass media.

I protest against this but i can't think of a song right now referring to that.

Eve of destruction - Barry Mcquire

Just as appropriate today after recent events as what it was when it was written by P F Sloan in the sixties and made famous by Barry McGuire.

Thanks xen, I enjoyed it. I put this one up on my 'Songs of War' topic.

When this song first came out, I understand some people complained about it thinking it was about the Vietnam war.

They obviously never read the words 'look real closely at the soldier coming at you through the haze, he may be your younger brother who ran away'.

It was obvious it was about the American Civil War 1861-1865.

Sort Out My Mac Mini..PLEASE.!

leverito · 13 hours ago13 hr

Hello AN family! I'm going to be honest with you — I'm a bit tired and frustrated at this point, so I'm turning to this community with real hope! I have a Mac mini that needs to be properly connected to a monitor, and what sounds like a simple task has turned into quite an adventure. I've already welcomed several "specialists" from Tukom and nearby shops into my home — lovely people, but unfortunately none of them managed to finish the job properly. The monitor works, yes — but the picture qual

Some Idle Speculation About Possible Outcomes from Trump's Reversal

Alan Zweibel · 8 hours ago8 hr

Trump now finds himself in quite a pickle. To avoid electoral disaster at home, the prospect of massive destruction of infrastructure in the Gulf States has to be averted. So now he's backing down. But now that the Iranians have seen him backing down, what's to stop them from demanding that Israel cease the destruction too? If not, the Iranians can start to implement their threat. Which would create a split between Trump and Netanyahu. Netanyahu wouldn't have much choice but to acquiesce ultimat

White House insiders blamed for enabling Trump’s Iran crisis

bannork · 9 hours ago9 hr

Senior figures inside the White House are facing mounting criticism for enabling what analysts describe as a chaotic and dangerous war strategy driven by presidential impulse rather than planning. Political analyst David Rothkopf says the conflict with Iran marks a stark break from previous US wars — not because of battlefield dynamics, but because of the decision-making process behind it. “This is so different from any other war we have seen,” Rothkopf said on The Daily Beast Podcast. “It is be

When the Iran War Ends What Would Constitute Victory for the US?

Would only the unconditional surrender of the Iranian government qualify? Would survival of the government but surrender of their nuclear stockpile qualify? Would guarantees of freedom for the Iranian people along with the survival of the government qualify? Would freedom for the iranian people and surrender of the nuclear stockpile qualify? Would surivival of the government, no nuclear stockpile and cessation of support for allies outside the country qualify? Obviously, there are other possible

Roadsternut replied to Alan Zweibel's topic in Political Soapbox

Look at this from Jay-D's perspective. He's the one member of the cabinet who cannot be sacked. If he pushes through the 25th Amendment between now and these elections, that will probably help the vote a bit. He's notably kept his powder dry throughout this crisis. There is some talk he might be involved in talks, in Pakistan, and an Iranian name to look out for is Mohammad Reza Aref. With a Acting President Hillbilly come November, undoubtedly the GOP will do a lot lot better than current polls suggest. He might persuade those GOP Never Trumpers to vote. BUT becoming President now means the remainder of this term will count as one term, and so he can only stand for election as President once. Press the coup button after the mid-terms, and he gets two shots. But the US might be basically ungovernable for the rest of this term. So he won't get as much done as he obviously wants. Pam Bondi is the person making a Section 4 vote (effectively a vote of confidence) less likely. The trigger group would be Vance and Kennedy, Rubio certainly, Gabbard. A new AG, and Vance can get the 7 votes necessary. Hegseth's name is going to be Mud; his department exaggerated BDAs (Iran has kept firing missiles and drones a week after he had told the world they were wiped out) at enormous cost. How does a country with no navy block the Straits of Hormuz, and reduces the world's largest naval power to begging for help from the Netherlands? And there is still Signalgate.

Phuket Staff Expose ‘Worst Tourist Behaviour’ in Viral Post
Phuket Staff Expose ‘Worst Tourist Behaviour’ in Viral Post

Georgealbert posted a topic in Thailand News - Discussion

A social media post has sparked debate in Phuket after highlighting complaints by hotel and restaurant workers about tourists from three nationalities, with immediate attention drawn to alleged problematic behaviour in the province’s hospitality sector. Get today's headlines by email The Facebook page “Phuket Times ภูเก็ตไทม์” published a poll described as reflecting views from service industry staff in Phuket, asking which nationalities were considered the most difficult in hotels and restaurants. The post claimed that Israeli tourists ranked highest, followed by Indian and Russian visitors, based on reported behaviour from operators. According to the post, Israeli tourists were accused of fabricating claims about lost items in accommodation, but hesitating when police involvement was suggested, saying they would search again first. Indian tourists were described as staying multiple people in one room and being prone to complaints and disputes. Russian tourists were alleged to refuse payment after meals by claiming the food was not satisfactory. The claims quickly gained traction online, with social media users sharing their own experiences and opinions, leading to widespread discussion. The post did not cite formal data or official statistics, but presented the results as feedback from workers in the local tourism and service sectors. The discussion comes amid ongoing scrutiny of tourist behaviour in key destinations such as Phuket, where the hospitality industry plays a central economic role. While anecdotal accounts often circulate online, such claims can influence public perception and potentially affect relations between businesses and international visitors. Industry observers note that social media polls may not represent the full picture and can amplify selective experiences rather than balanced data. However, the viral nature of the post highlights underlying tensions and challenges faced by frontline service staff dealing with diverse tourist groups. Amarin reported that authorities and tourism stakeholders have not issued an official response to the post as of the report’s publication. It remains unclear whether any follow-up actions or investigations will take place regarding the claims made. Picture courtesy of Amarin Join the discussion? Already a member?

A point worth noting, mainly for those who know nothing about Wise , is that the some of above mostly applies to those who have a Thai address in their Wise. it is not fully applicable to those with a Wise card with an address from outside of Thailand.

Important Note: As some of you may, or may not, now know,... We have received the FOLLOWING REPRIEVE from the Total Obliteration of our World, the original 48-Hour Obliteration,... As here outlined by Gemini... So, I am only saying that: According to my original calculations, we had only 2 hours, 15 minutes, and 6 seconds remaining...EXACTLY. However, if we can believe that there might be an extension in effect, then.... OUR NEW COUNTDOWN must be RESET to, about, FIVE DAYS, rather than only two hours. ============== Fortunately, the 15 minutes, and the 6 seconds part, has not changed. Now, we are EXACTLY where we should be. We must be EXACT, and to the second. However, we can allow a tolerance of plus or minus FIVE DAYS, if you will. Let's keep the Iranians guessing,... Shall we?

Do you actually get out and explore Thailand ?

The Cobra · 19 hours ago19 hr

Do you actually get out and explore Thailand, or just the same general radius of where you live ? Been here long enough to have seen my own province thoroughly, and I've started pushing further out. Thailand rewards you for it if you can be bothered. Two places I can actually vouch for in the Chiang Rai area that most foreigners skip entirely: Phu Chi Fa — about 90km from Chiang Rai city, right on the Laos border at 1,628 metres. Free entry. The sunrise draws crowds of Thais in winter (Nov–Fe

Do foreigners in Thailand really change or just adapt?

SoCal1990 · Saturday at 12:20 PM2 days

Had a vivid conversation last night with a group of about 10 expat friends at a relaxing restaurant down in Silom that ended up going all over the place. The group was mostly men, but a few women as well. Basically all people who live and work here and have some sort of busy lifestyle, as opposed to many foreigners living here who no longer work and end up staying home with their own comforts in some form of isolation. After we finished the meal and had a few drinks, what started as a simple c

Do expats in Thailand see relationships differently over time?

The Cobra · Saturday at 02:43 AM2 days

I’ve been thinking about this for a while and wasn’t sure how to word it without it sounding wrong, but here goes. Living in Thailand has changed how I look at relationships. Not overnight, and not in some dramatic way, but gradually over time. Back home, things felt more fixed. People settled into a certain pattern — similar age, similar background, similar expectations. Here, it feels different. The range of relationships you see is much wider, and the expectations don’t always line up the sam
