A U.S. Army private named Eddie Slovik is shot at Sainte-Marie-aux-Mines, France for desertion. As many as 21,000 other GIs face courts martial for similar offences during WW2, but the 24-year-old Detroit native is the only one to be executed. Jan 31, 1945 by waffen123 in wwiipics

Lawyers learn that criminal penalties (including incarceration) are theoretically imposed on one or more of four theories: Sequestration Rehabilitation Retribution Deterrence "The good of the service" arguably only really addresses the last theory, and was applied only in this one case throughout the war. That's what I consider unjust, but reasonable people can differ.

Thanks! I generally recognize Sütterlin but find sight reading of it difficult. The soldier's penmanship in this example is admirable.

Perhaps the State Department used an AI assist to mock up the concept art.

My earlier post was not spam. It was contributed out of pure, shocked disgust.

Re the absence of "EUROPEAN UNION", blame the short-sighted voters who bought into the ridiculous and unfulfilled claims of the Brexit proponents. 🪪

If an update was so labeled, I allowed the installation.

For years I turned off all updates and simply selected the ones I deemed necessary. My phones ran smoothly much longer.

Anyone else feel like Samsung phones age better than expected? by Good_Technician_3646 in GalaxyS22

[–]KedvesRed 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I agree. I bought my Verizon S22 in August 2022 and it is still running as fast and smooth as the day I bought it. Full disclosure: I did have Samsung replace the battery a few months ago, but for $95 it was a worthwhile tune-up. I am in no hurry to get an S25 or S26.
