"He seemed to experience a sadistic pleasure in announcing the sinking of an Iranian warship by a US torpedo, enjoying the idea of the doomed crew’s 'quiet death'.
This sort of unabashed viciousness is part of the appeal of the Maga administration for its fans, and might seem like a refreshing return to plain speaking."

"His favourite term is 'lethality'; he loves telling the armed forces how 'lethal' they are. 'We are not defenders any more,' he announced gleefully. 'We are warriors: trained to kill the enemy and break their will.' (It might seem excessive to break their will after killing them, but why settle for half measures?)"

A quotation from Wendell Berry
Surely the idea of a “limited war” is one of the most dangerously self-deceiving verbal gimmicks ever invented. For though war makes use of reason, as a weapon, it is not reasonable in nature. Its nature is the nature of pride and anger. It follows the brute logic of violent emotion, which points directly toward the use of the greatest available power.
Wendell Berry (b. 1934) American farmer, educator, poet, conservationist

A quotation from Terry Pratchett
Quimby was eventually killed by a disgruntled poet during an experiment conducted in the palace grounds to prove the disputed accuracy of the proverb “The pen is mightier than the sword,” and in his memory it was amended to include the phrase “only if the sword is very small and the pen is very sharp.”
Terry Pratchett (1948-2015) English author

Immunological #findings of West Caucasian #bat #virus in an accidental host http://biorxiv.org/cgi/content/short/2024.09.12.612599v1?rss=1
In #hamsters, #WCBV was highly pathogenic, determining 100% #lethality and mild #encephalitis. In comparison with Duvenhage virus (DUVV) and #RABV, we found that WCBV displayed an intermediate ability to promote cellular antiviral response, produce pro-inflammatory #cytokines, recruit and activate #lymphocytes in the hamsters central nervous system.

#Age-dependent #Powassan virus #lethality is linked to glial cell activation & divergent neuroinflammatory #cytokine #responses in a murine model, J Virol.: https://journals.asm.org/doi/full/10.1128/jvi.00560-24?af=R
These findings correlate age-dependent #CNS cytokine responses & viral loads with POWV lethality & suggest potential neuroinflammatory therapeutic targets. Our results establish the age-dependent lethality of POWV in a murine #model that mirrors human POWV severity and long-term CNS pathology in the elderly.

I agree with all the discussion and think this misunderstanding about evolution to #avirulence comes from a confusion between #virulence (an evolutionary concept involving host fitness), #lethality (related to the host), #mortality (measured at the population level), and #pathogenicity (at the cellular level).
We tried to clarify this with @mtsofonea in our review on the evolution of #SarsCoV2 virulence.

The #Patriot - How #General #MarkMilley protected the #Constitution from #DonaldTrump. In #normal times, chairman of Joint Chiefs, principal #militaryadviser 2 #president, is supposed to focus his attention on America’s #nationalsecurity challenges, & on #readiness & #lethality of its #armedforces. But the 1st 16 months of Milley’s term a period that ended when Joe Biden succeeded Donald Trump as president were not normal because #Trump was #exceptionally #unfit to #serve https://www.theatlantic.com/magazine/archive/2023/11/general-mark-milley-trump-coup/675375/

In normal times, the chair of the #JCS, the principal #military adviser to the pres, is supposed to focus attn on #America’s #NationalSecurity…, & on the #readiness & #lethality of its #armed forces. But the 1st 16 mos of #Milley’s term, a period that ended when #Biden succeeded #Trump as pres, were not normal, bc Trump was exceptionally #unfit to #serve. “For >200yrs, the assumption in this country was that we would have a #stable person as president,” …the retired 3★ gen James #Dubik, told me.

Interesting look from inside the US #military on #tactical advantage and #strategic #risks of #electric #vehicles.
tl,dr: "Series hybrid vehicles should be the next step in tactical ground vehicles for the military."
