Honestly? It's conjecture. The game is apparently older than most writing systems. But the different theories are fun.

Then ask questions. I'm glad to answer any I can.
The purpose of this comment is to communicate my dislike for Abrahamic religions (especially Colonial Christians, JW, and "Modern" Islam), and place emphasis on the hubris of politicians.
That is to say, I dislike people who can only justify their stance with scripture, and I think politicians playing dictator are even stupider and eviler.

Oh yeah, the UR I'm pretty sure was largely founded by Churches. But still, history needs to talk more about the likes of Harriet Tubman and John Brown.

Slave who took her freedom and then braved journeys back into the South to free others. She was smart, nearly ruthless, and packed a big iron. A true icon of American liberty.

That's more or less the gist of it. God, I miss training CLS classes.

I've seen a guy get shot twice! And once we got his armor off, you'd think he just got sliced up by a knife across his chest and shoulders. No internal damage!
And I did spend some time on the border, off duty and otherwise. Shit gets nasty there, sometimes still keeps me up late or wakes me up early.

Usually depends on location and exact mechanism of injury, but as a rule knives are easier. I've never seen a laceration, stab, or impalement that was worse than it looked, but I have seen and studied GSWs that just... got fucky.
How in the hell does a guy get shot in the back while standing, for the bullet to shatter his hip on the way out? Or a woman gets shot in her left shoulder and the round destroys an ovary?
If you are treating a GSW, check the ENTIRE body for an exit wound. And after initial interventions are in place? Check again.

I want to agree. But people that high up don't get charged, and old political rats like him don't get investigated.

Oh! And scalpel work in medic school, as well as explicit instructions on what makes a person's condition incompatible with life.

They don't, in the conventional Army. But I tried to go SOF, and we got some instruction while in selection. God, that was so cool.

Of course it's completely untrue.

"Propaganda is the dissemination of information—facts, arguments, rumours, half-truths, or lies—to influence public opinion. Deliberateness and a relatively heavy emphasis on manipulation distinguish propaganda from casual conversation or the free and easy exchange of ideas."
Yeah. Really low on "manipulation", and entirely devoid of "rumours", "half-truths" or "lies", but it fits the definition. Just like most everything posted on the internet that isn't porn, cats, or landscape photography.

Yes, it is untrue. My career was short, and I wouldn't call it at all "illustrious". But I do take my pride in doing my job well, in the training I excelled in, the selection I failed, and the lives I saved.
Not that it's relevant. I myself only have minimal training with knives, and none with swords or spears. My initial comment was just one part me recalling something I read long ago, and another part me being excited about cavalry tactics I studied for a story I'm writing.
Next question?

If you have any questions, I'll gladly answer them. Otherwise, keep your ill-informed and misplaced hostility to yourself.

Yeah, no. It's because the soldier has to slip his blade around the enemy's guard and armor. They just lack the specialized training to utilize weapons aside from a spear and maybe a dagger.
This is also why knights don't attack head on. Cavalry was always meant to slip into and disrupt the enemy lines, their own spears and greatswords were just more effective from horseback with a lifetime of training.
