We need to get Smitty turned on to the Sengoku period of Japan.
The Tenshō Iga War, in particular, would probably be right up his alley.

Complete the sequence:
To a hammer, every problem looks like a nail.
To a Vietnam War fanatic ... ______________.

if you don't like the Vietnam analogy, change Mod Key to Redcoats, or some other symmetrical overmatch

EVERYONE IS GAY

Are they?

Are you?

Not that there's anything wrong with that.

if you want to say Ninjitsu, be my guest

I don't usually invoke "Ninja" analogies in an American context, if I was talking to the Japanese, perhaps

the point of analogy is not to be obscure, quite the opposite

It's not just "Ninja".
It's the independent mountain communities of the Iga resisting the dominant and undefeated Oda clan at the height of its power. It's about the "Demon Daimyo" of Japan, perhaps the best military strategist of the age, grappling to adapt to guerilla tactics.

But I won't bore you with the details.
Everything can be reduced to "Viet Cong" if you want.

I found the Vietnam analogy most accurate because the scale of technological overmatch in fighting the Mod Key

can be dropped on you from 50,000 feet, anywhere, anytime, like airpower

no offense intended

[Montegriffo]

I believe Smitty had a run in with that.

there's no hard feeling from me towards Kath, I apologized and buried the hatchet

Monte still talks with her, he says she is not bearing a grudge neither

I didn't realize she was bipolar, I thought it was a game, a war game essentially

Indeed, in fact she wishes you well.
