No? Those confederate armies didn’t expect the northern invaders to hold their fire because the general was leading from the front. Admirals kinda can’t get off a ship easily. Nobody was saying sufficiently high ranking officers were a human shield for the men. They just weren’t targeted specifically.

The Romans made a custom of using their artillery to target chiefs in particular when in small-scale sieges; thé ninjas were basically assassination specialists, thé historical assassins weren’t terribly mainstream but Islamic sources seem to be more upset about them being alawites than their mode of geopolitics. This is a very European custom driven by the medieval custom of ransoming high value captives- Hundred Years’ War era English armies actually funded themselves by doing this.

What unites Americans is Epstein. Just like how the previous generation, both sides or the aisle could recognize each other as American by claiming the other would gas thé Jews, now both sides can recognize each other by assertions that the other wants to rape and eat children. Our common ground is absurd partisan shitflinging.
Now thé Epstein files will keep being released because people like drama and gossip. We’re the land of The Learning Channel; trashy and nonsensical clearly isn’t a dealbreaker. In 20 years there’ll be another release of the Epstein files indicating then-current politicians went before they were born. Why? Because politics is entertainment now. How long before congresscritters step into the WWE? Who knows.

apparently that was common enough to be a routine entrance requirement to Harvard and other universities
The university educated percent of population was, it must be said, quite small. Latin was simply expected of educated people at the time, and a college prep education would have included it(and Greek).
Saddam getting invaded was probably overdetermined, and there wasn’t really another option for Palestinian backing, but it’s certainly suspicious that that’s how it lined up.
