The book is called Shadow of the Valley: A Father's War, a Son's Quest, and Combat in the Que Son Valley, Vietnam
SYNOPSIS
More than half a century after the Vietnam War, a riveting, true story emerges.
The author embarks on a journey to bridge the silent gap between himself and his estranged father, whose memories of the war are deeply buried. This quest for understanding leads him to a close-knit brotherhood of Marine combat veterans who become the voice for the untold stories, filling the void left by his father's unspoken past.
In the company of these battle-hardened veterans, the author travels back in time to the Que Son Valley in 1967, where their Special Landing Force of Marines faced a crucible of combat. During their initial operations, Operation Beaver Cage and Operation Union, the young Marines, barely more than boys, faced horrors and hardships that would shape them forever.
This is their real-life account, as much about the fierceness of war as it is about the unbreakable bonds forged in its midst and the resonant effects of intense combat on those who fight. Through the vivid and poignant recollections of the Marines in his father's unit, the author uncovers the raw and unvarnished truths of warfare and its profound, lingering impact.

2025.01.31 04:00 Hot4PricklyPears Thoughts/Anxiety About AI and Setting Boundaries
This is a sadrant/hoping to find solidarity post. But if you want to respond with a mean comment, go ahead I guess. It is called /aiwars after all T _ T
For context, I'm a creative hippie who works in Big Tech (it's just how it turned out, and I'm trying to segway my life in a direction that's more aligned with my values even though I know it'll mean less financial security). I come from a working class (actually, very poor) background, but jumped a few socio-economic rungs in my 20s and now find myself surrounded by fairly privileged, metropolitan professional types who work in tech, finance, and the like. I'm a casual communist who finds herself deeply embedded in a capitalist society. As such, I often find myself at odds with the people around me and with mainstream narratives in general.
The advent of genAI has taken a toll on my mental health. I have a basic grasp of LLMs and AI in general, and I'm not afraid of the technology itself. But I have a deep wariness about how this technology will be used to further exploit and undermine the working class. Not to mention its environmental impacts (data centers are carbon-costly and no, I'm not fooled by the argument that "AI will help us model climate solutions" - we HAVE climate solutions, what we lack is the political will to fight fossil fuel lobbyists, and AI can't help with that). On top of that, I see genAI as the next step in humanity's self-destructive mission to outsource all of our inherent mental capacity - for creativity, memorization, learning - to machines. Never has a society with so many resources at its disposal been so DUMB, and I'm afraid it's getting worse.
With all this in mind (and I've not even touched on the debate about plagiarism, but as a writer you can guess where I land on that), I've been frankly disgusted by the overwhelming, unconditional enthusiasm EVERYONE seems to have adopted with regards to genAI. I understand – it's a shiny new toy, it does genuinely cool things. It's one of those 'advancements' we're not going to be able to remember how we ever got along without. I'm definitely not in the camp of people who thinks it's useless or just a fad, don't get me wrong. What I find disturbing is that everyone is suddenly such a simp for it, everyone is suddenly an expert. My friend groups are WAY more interested in discussing every minute detail about DeepSeek than in, I don't know, the million horrifying things that are currently taking place in global and US politics.
I've had friends tell me "people who are complaining about AI are just delusional and need to get with the program." And these are people who are high enough on the socioeconomic ladder that they don't really need to worry about losing jobs because of AI. They are the people who will be exploiting AI to make even more money than they already do, probably also laying people off in the process. And they act... almost AROUSED by it. I find it totally disgusting, tasteless, and inhuman that they're welcoming this tech with such unquestioning enthusiasm, totally unconcerned for the very real impact it's going to have on people not in their social class. On the planet.
So I guess in summary, my sadrant is: I feel super alienated socially ever since AI became THE trending topic, I notice myself getting triggered and angry or zoning out when it comes up in conversation (and it always does), and I've started to express boundaries with people to steer conversations away from AI, but I don't really think this is the right solution as I am in general against policing other peoples' behavior, but I don't know what else to do. Find new friends? Leave society and join a tech-free commune? I've tried expressing my views to open up dialogue but people are just NOT interested. It's like if you're not jerking off to the latest AI development, your opinion isn't valued. I know I come off as a naive rosary-thumber. I know, trust me. Guess I'm just wondering if anyone else feels the same frustration and if they've been able to do anything to ease their mental distress.

2025.01.31 04:00 dsp_090603 It is an indirect message from team cherry!!!
It is indeed a indirect message from team cherry.
The flair said message from 'somebody' where it previously referred to team cherry.
The post said indirectly a message from team cherry. Proof is the picture of the office and mods commented the flair is not changing.
In the post they said they would not have been silent if they knew it would take so long and it would be a waste to communicate when they are so close.
And they said they don't deserve this community where we stayed even nothing was happening.
They mention the most saddest thing ever that this might their last game that they would make which literally took their blood and sweat.
But they told that they wanted to create something that will stay which is art and they created it.
I believe this is a message from them I think this the best that we could've gotten from the end of E1331 arc.
I'm so happy that they did something and at the same time sad too that this very well might be end.
Nonetheless great journey.

Has anyone in this class finished assignment 2 last week? I just noticed that the questions I answered last week and submitted this Tuesday are completely different from what I saw at bohcp104. It seems like they changed the questions without any prior notice (?)
Does anyone else feel like this?

I worked off the clock one time to my knowledge, but was told that I did it a total of three times in a meeting with my district manager and store manager I said I wouldn’t do it again and haven’t but two months after that discussion I was presented with a write up that said it was my final warning for the same incident is this Five Below policy or are they just trying to get rid of me?

Hello, I'm currently based in Texas and moving to New York City this March (SO got a job there.)
I wanted to get feedback on the feasibility of working remotely from a Texas based company in NYC. I know taxes are different. My current company has several fully remote workers but none are from New York. Everyone else is basically like Utah, Florida.

2025.01.31 03:59 No_Government1386 Possible 3 spells cast in a round?
Hi, I’m not entirely sure if this works or if I’m just not understanding things correctly in a game but theoretically a level 17 wizard multiclass (3 level fighter) can cast 2 spells a turn because of action surge? And if your a tunnel fighter you can bonus action defensive stance to make a 3rd attack without using your reaction. Am I thinking of this correctly as in you can make spell attacks? Would this be more of interpretation of the DM than it is how the rules work? And even then so long as it’s not concentration you basically can cast a 7th, 8th, and 9th spell in a round? I’m curious not because people are playing it, but purely out of is it theoretically right.
