He is a veteran, but he injured his back in a helicopter crash in training and never actually put his boots on the ground in combat. So he's more than a pencil pusher because he is in fact a Marine, and a young version like Krasinski is playing might still be in shape enough for like, the scene in S1 when he's at the camp that gets attacked. I'd believe him picking up a weapon and returning fire there. Or the opening or (book version) climax of Patriot Games.

He can handle a weapon and take care of himself if the situation calls for it, but that's not his role.

And in Patriot Games it's made very clear that he's old and retired and it's only his hero instinct reacting that led him to do anything there. He only survived that because of his surprise rush and because one of the attackers was an 18 year old kid who'd never actually been in a fight before.

I don't think I've read Red Rabbit and I've only seen the movie of Red October, and that a long time ago.

Even the violence he uses in Patriot Games is almost more than he should have been capable of. He's not a badass vet, he was injured badly in a chopper crash in training. I mean he was a Marine, but that's it. Clear and Present Danger is the movie that got Jack Ryan the most correct.

Arrow was great until Flash started, and Flash was good until they made Legends. It was like with each new show starting all the writers jumped ship and all the creative efforts were focused on the new one. I never watched Batwoman or Supergirl but Arrow and Flash became trash by then once there were 5 shows in the universe to pay attention to.

I liked that it went back in time from when it aired so they could cover events that really happened. The OBL episode especially, and the scene where the producer backspaces the death year on the graphic for Gabby Giffords was a powerful moment.

The high school where I work streams our basketball games on YouTube or Facebook sometimes but we have to remind the camera person to make sure there's no sound because the music playing during the warm-ups or halftime triggers the copyright thing and knocks down the stream

>95% of the time women do not get pregnant without having already exercised their bodily autonomy. The choice already happened.

Abortion is not healthcare. It can't be, by definition, because it literally destroys life. This is a known fact of science, so please don't try and argue with it.

These limitations are not coming from religious reasons though. The Supreme Court explained why Roe v Wade was wrong in the first place and why they overturned it and none of this is necessarily about religious reasons. The limitations came from Constitutional reasons, which is what the Court is supposed to do.

That's why I'm arguing that nobody is restricting rights for religious reasons, because they're not.

I didn't do that though.

I never said the first thing about anyone's bodily autonomy, chiefly because that isn't relevant to this discussion since it isn't affected by restricting abortion. I certainly never denied that it was a concerning move. I just said it's not as bad as some of you doom scrollers are making it sound and certainly not as bad as an actually theocratic country like Iran.

Go back and read the actual words that I actually said and respond only to those, not to whatever you think I said or want me to have said to fit your chosen narrative that makes me your opponent.
