Early on we were warned not to focus on sensational sex, CP, or other prurient interests and instead to focus on the financial connections between parties and the crimes committed. Natalie is just a kid raised to reject her own intuitive self and believe what the purveyors of the evils against her taught her was normal, expected, and accepted. I agree to leave her alone.

Sex and pics could be chaff, Anons.

They might find it easier to defend themselves against sexual misconduct and sex crimes versus the crimes of treason and crimes against humanity.

Are we chasing chaff? Foot jobs? Apple logo reflections?

Thank you. I was thinking of Red Mike and hoping we could focus once again. It's where we thrive.*

*by 'we' I mean Anons holding a similar opinion. I do not speaks for all Anons.

The battle he is best known for was the defense of Lunga Ridge on Guadalcanal September 12–14, 1942. His Raider Battalion, with two companies of the 1st Parachute Battalion attached, were sent to a ridge line a short distance south of Henderson Field. Here, they were supposed to get a short rest but Japanese forces unexpectedly attacked the position on the first evening, penetrating the left center of his line of resistance, forcing a withdrawal to a reserve position.[1]

Approximately 800 Marines withstood the repeated assaults of more than 3,000 Japanese on the "Bloody Ridge", as it came to be called.[1] To the men of the 1st Raider Battalion, however, who sustained 256 casualties, it became "Edson's Ridge",[1] in high honor of the officer who "was all over the place, encouraging, cajoling, and correcting as he continually exposed himself to enemy fire."[1] His nickname, "Red Mike", originating from his red beard worn in Nicaragua days, was also his code name during this battle. From then on he was known by all as "Red Mike".[1] It was for this action—the Battle of Edson's Ridge—that he received the Medal of Honor.[1]

It seems to be where we are in this battle. We know what is at stake here.

COLONEL MERRITT A. EDSON

UNITED STATES MARINE CORPS

for service as set forth in the following CITATION:

For extraordinary heroism and conspicuous intrepidity above and beyond the call of duty as Commanding Officer of the 1st Marine Raider Battalion, with Parachute Battalion attached, during action against enemy Japanese forces in the Solomon Islands on the night of 13–14 September 1942. After the airfield on Guadalcanal had been seized from the enemy on August 8, Col. Edson, with a force of 800 men, was assigned to the occupation and defense of a ridge dominating the jungle on either side of the airport. Facing a formidable Japanese attack which, augmented by infiltration, had crashed through our front lines, he, by skillful handling of his troops, successfully withdrew his forward units to a reserve line with minimum casualties. When the enemy, in a subsequent series of violent assaults, engaged our force in desperate hand-to-hand combat with bayonets, rifles, pistols, grenades, and knives, Col. Edson, although continuously exposed to hostile fire throughout the night, personally directed defense of the reserve position against a fanatical foe of greatly superior numbers. By his astute leadership and gallant devotion to duty, he enabled his men, despite severe losses, to cling tenaciously to their position on the vital ridge, thereby retaining command not only of the Guadalcanal airfield, but also of the 1st Division's entire offensive installations in the surrounding area.
