Yes Vietnam the great Western tragedy...

1)…Not Going There To Win Was One Of The Biggest Tragedies Of This So Called War.

2)…Fighting And Dying For the Same Hill Over And Over Again (No Matter How Many US Deaths Happen During This Bull ****? They Were Just Replaced With Fresh Meat….(Young Kids we Did Not Want To Get friendly With Because Who Knew How Long They Would Last With No experience) And The only Way For them To Get experience was To Go Out Beyond The Wire.

3)…Tunnels That Were Baited With Poisonous Snakes And Punji Stick Traps

4)…Watching Young South Vietnamese Guys Our Age Not Doing The Fighting, But At The ready To Steal From Us In Town.

5)…Not Knowing Who Really Was The Enemy Until It Was Too Late. Many A Young American Boys Died Because They Didn’t Know What They Were Doing.

6)..Vietnamese Women Who Would For Money? Have *** With Some Of Us Grunts…And some Of The Times? The Guy Would Be Stabbed to Death During This “Adventure”

7)…Some Americans Having To Shoot Their Own Lieutenants In The Back Because They Would Have All Been Killed Had They Obeyed Their Lieutenants Gung Ho Orders

8)…Watch The Movie “Platoon”…It’s As Close As It Gets.

(Side Note)…….When Bob Hope Would Come? No One Knew At The Time That The VC Were Right Below Us In Their Tunnels

And I? Personally was Chasing Down A (CENSORED) When He Ran Into A Tree And Got Knocked Out. He Awoke To The Barrel Of My Rifle Pointing At His Head. He Was Just A Kid…I Had His Rifle And I Motioned to Him To Get Ta Hell Out. And He Ran Like hell. (I Figured Killing Him Would Not Make A Difference To The Out Come Of This Bull ****. The way I Saw It?….He was Unarmed. And I Ain’t No Murderer

The main crux of his complaint seemed to be that Cook didn't talk to him and ask how he was doing personally compared to Root. He mentioned the batting position thing towards the end but it seemed like more of an aside to me (and he also admitted he did much better with the bat under Cook anyway, lmao).
So when it suits him, Joe Root takes an interest in his players, but when he’s at yorkshire he doesn’t notice any racism because he’s in a bubble of his own.

Sure, Joe. Sure.

It's actually really difficult to see something that's right under your nose. The saying doesn't do it justice. You can't actually see your philtrum, go crosseyed and you still can't.

Good entry in the Gnske canon of Not Sure if it's Stolen/ Not Sure if it's Genius/ Not Sure if it's Terrible

It would be unreasonable of England to go and draw this match after the series they've been having.

They won't.
