Why Do Military Theorists,armchair Critics, and Wargamers Think War Is Easy?

Not all of them - sweeping unsubstantiated generalizations are unfair on those who realize the true problems and complications of warfare.Remember,wargames are just that - games, not real life. Also remember hindsight is ALWAYS with 20/20 vision. Napoleon is roundly criticized for his invasion of Russia because it failed,and this failure led to his downfall,but if he had committed the Old Guard at Borodino and destroyed the Russian army there,Czar Alexander would almost certainly have sued for peace,Napoleon would have won his war,remained as Emperor for some years after,and his military reputation would be even greater than it is. Analysis rather than rote is what makes the study of military history so interesting;some might claim that they could have done better under the same circumstances (and they may or may not have), but do not knock them for analyzing these things and coming up with alternative moves, and do not paint all of them with the same brush!

2. .45 colt vs 45-70 Government?

If you say '45 Long Colt' most any old timer will jump down your throat - because there is no such thing as the 'Long Colt'. Used to be we had the 45 Colt. When the 45acp was invented at the turn of the last centrury non-shooters started saying 'long colt' to mean the old 45 and distinguish it between the new shorter 45 acp. Today 45 Colt and 45 Long Colt are one and the same. However, it is best to get out of the habbit of saying 'Long Colt'. Saying Long Colt to old timers is like coming here to YA and calling bolt guns a 'sniper'. In the area of firearms - we have way, way, too many posers and armchair hunters who's only hunting or shooting experience is what they read at the barber shop as a kid. You do not want to make a silly verbal mistake like this and get lumped into the catagory as a poser. FYI - if you ever have an issue like this arise again - a quick view of any reloading manual will solve the question. Or, grab a copy of the Shooter's Bible and look in the back under ammo. Hope this helps.

3. Are the Jehovah's Witnesses on Yahoo Answers Armchair Warriors?

There are only about 20 or so Witnesses that i see regularly on Yahoo answers. Does that count as "many"? do you seriously believe any of the junk you just spewed out? Seriously? I really hope that you are not that deluded. Oh, and please if you will show where in any of our publications it: " teaches its members to have a fanatical war mentality when it comes to people who disagree with you" Thanks --------- How did any of those answer my question? --------- Which article are you saying "Teaches its members to have a fanatical war mentality when it comes to people who disagree with you"? We had just studied those articles very recently, and i still have my copy in my hand, so which one are you trying to refer to? Or are you talking about the article on Jehu? Is this the "teaching" you are talking about? These subtle little snippets that you can take far out of context? .

4. What is some good advice for handling armchair psychologists who "diagnose" everyone with whom they are incompatible a narcissist?

A few things to try, although it may not change their thinking. As Elinor says, sometimes it's better to change the subject:Say I've noticed you are saying a lot (give a number if you have a guess) of people you have trouble relating to are narcissists. That seems a lot to me.What makes you think they are a narcissist? Since there's a lot of confusion around the term narcissist, could you give me something they did or a behavior so I can understand better. Do you know the different between someone with a few narcissistic traits versus someone who it is mentally ill with narcissitic personality disorder (NPD). We all have some narcissistic traits like being selfish sometime. NPD is a serious mental illness where the narcissist always has to be in the limelight and who will use almost anything to get what they want. They are totally self-centered and hurt people very, very badly.What is the difference between normal narcissists, who may possess 2-4 traits of narcissism, and someone who actually fits the diagnosis?Do you consider me a narcissist? if so, what is it I'm doing that makes you think this?You seem to be the only one (or one of a few) that is calling these people narcissistics. Are they treating you differently?Finding more about them might explain why they do this - perhaps they learned it from their family.
