If you want to see the real stories that inspired this story, look up the Neisei Refiment. The 442nd Regimental Combat Team consisted of American men of Japanese blood who, despite facing prejudice and suspicion, despite being ripped from their homes and put in concentration camps (see the UN definition) still volunteered to serve their country. They said, "How DARE YOU! How dare you question my loyalty to my country! To the USA! I will prove you bastards wrong! I will make you eat your words!" To this day, no other unit has recieved more medals or more Purple Hearts (medal for being wounded in the line of duty) in the US military. The German Americans and Italian Americans weren't treated as badly as the Japanese Americans. They were citizens, patriots, and damn fine soldiers. They were heroes, and they deserve better than we gave them both during the war and in the 50 years following. It's only in the last 30 or so years that we have finally begun giving them the respect they deserve. A number of Silver Stars have been upgraded to Medals of Honor. Compensation is finally being paid to families who had their homes and businesses stripped from them by the Government. And people are finally recognizing the wrongs committed at camps like Manzanar. Their story should be told.

My blade doesn't run out of ammo, it doesn't jam, it can fell a tree, create fire and build me a shelter. It's silent, easy to conceal and deadlier than a ballistic weapon in the hands of someone familiar with it. It won't falter when wet, nor covered in sand, and weighs less than some shits I've taken after a night on the piss. . . The blade is one of the reasons we became the dominant lifeform on our planet. NEVER disrespect what a blade can accomplish.

As a Marine Veteran listening to this story: I have a tear or two in my eyes as I listened and read along. The writer has captured the ideas of duty, honor, service, and sacrifice in a way that touches me and makes me remember not only the "hows" - but also the "whys" of service to our great nation and her allies - while also remembering the brave actions and great sacrifices of all those before me who have had the title of: Marine. P.S: I'm rocking an official US Marine Corps OKC3S fighting knife/bayonet (all these years later) - and I'm STILL ready to "Affix Bayonets!!!" to my rifle barrel whenever there comes a time, LOL. Is that bad???....

When I was younger, in the 1970s, I thought "the future" would best be served with the traditional high-tech stuff that was common in sci-fi until that time (lasers, lightsabers, etc.). Then I read "The Far Traveller" by A. Bertram Chandler that was one of his John Grimes books and my thinking changed. Grimes was a Survey Service (a sort of combination Navy, Coast Guard, and Scouting service) and outfitted an expedition to a lost colony for the owner of Far Traveller. She asked him why he preferred traditional firearms and blades to the laser pistol and such that he carried. His comment really made me think, "A gun never needs a recharge, won't short out if it gets wet, and goes bang when you pull the trigger".

I wonder if aliens will ever know the excitement of leading a target from horseback, or fighting a marlin on a line for hours, tracking a blood trail to a kill… and wanting more. When I finally clutch my chest and go down, I hope I’m hunting, fishing, or procreating. I remember my buddy back to back, with his knife ready, as we got prepped to be perforated; totally spent. He laughed, and I knew we were going to be ok. He loved a good fight more than I do. I think five people like him would be effective. I imagine aliens think we’re weird. He was. I am.

I like these stories , but I do have to admit they're a bit naiive. If we did meet aliens and they reacted the way that most of the aliens in these stories do I'd be shocked. Specially regarding traits that have made humans so successful. Like selflessness and empathy or the resilliancy we have. I'd be shocked if they didn't have the same or similar qualities and made it to be space faring.

@aceofspades58 Год назад

Only one criticism tho. When you talk about the Alien with three arms saying "I broke my third arm" it's such an inaccuracy because it sounds like a human perspective. Just like you wouldn't call your arms your first and second arm, an alien wouldn't call it their third arm. Because the term third arm implies that there are meant to only have 2 arms and the third is an anomaly, which is true for humans but not for that particular alien race.
