  • As far as I can find out, there is no constitutional restriction on outsourcing the imprisonment of Americans in foreign countries. This is not deportation.

    Australia was founded on the outsourcing of imprisonment of British prisoners, after the US war of Independence when US states refused to continue to take British prisoners.

    Garcia was determined to be a refugee because he was a member of an El Salvadorian gang, so there is no likelihood he will be released in El Salvador.









  • War and Peace is made up of 42 or something full length novels.

    It starts off with two lovers meeting at the man’s house, he joins the army as an officer, they have children, the man rises to become a captain or soemthing, then the Napoleonic War starts, then it follows Napoleans journey from France, through Italy, Austria, eastern Europe and then to his seige of Moscow. The youngest son has now joined the army, and he his keen to join in. The French army are retreating from Moscow, fed up, starving, tired and exhausted, the boy comes up to a band of French stragglers, the French lieutenant, slumped over on his horse, tiredly grabs his sword and slashes blindly behind him, decapitating the boy, his head held on by skin, his horse runs back to the rest of the Russians, where his father is leading.

    Then there are 15 more novels after that !









  • Soccer is short for “Association Football” so either term is valid.

    The Public Schools in the west of Britain were Army schools, they played Rugby, and used western prouniciation ie “castle = carsell” and “lieutenant=leftenant”

    The Public Schools in the east of Britain were Navy schools, they played Association Football" and used eastern pronunciation “castle=kassel”, and “lieutenant=lootenant”.

    Lieutenant is still pronounced differently in the Royal navy and army.
