The actor was on last night's forgotten. I meant to say something earlier. I only saw in channel switching though, didn;t watch.
Yes, it's terribly simple. The good guys are always stalwart and true, the bad guys are easily distinguished by their pointy horns or black hats, and, uh, we always defeat them and save the day. No one ever dies, and everybody lives happily ever after.

Ann, that's a ferret.
Steph, your friend is a jackass.
Though, if he doesn't want the cat anymore, even before he takes the cat to the pound, I'd suggest he ask around to see if he knows anyone willing to adopt.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
Random history trivia question: In what war was the last time the US and French navies fought each other?

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

I look more rad than Lutheranism
Steph, I would be way more passive-aggressive about it.
I wish I'd thought of that!
I can't believe he actually said "there will be one more stray on the streets," Tep. That's just ... really?
Yup, he really did. And he's generally a good guy.
Wow, I guess he is stressed out and scattered. Why not just keep the cat inside for a while. If things are so crazy it may not be the best time to try and deal with getting the cat fixed.
He is having a fairly shittastic time of this divorce (his soon-to-be ex is...unbalanced, to say the least), but -- yeah. WTF, man? Don't take it out on your cat.
And someone else commented on his LJ saying, basically, don't put your cat out on the streets -- if you take it to the pound, at least it'll have a humane death.

WWII.
Scola FTW!
Operation Torch (initially called Operation Gymnast) was the British-American invasion of French North Africa in World War II during the North African Campaign, started 8 November 1942.
...
Casablanca was the principal French Atlantic naval base after German occupation of the European coast. The Naval Battle of Casablanca resulted from a sortie of French cruisers, destroyers, and submarines to oppose the landings. A cruiser, six destroyers, and six submarines were destroyed by American gunfire and aircraft. The unfinished battleship Jean Bart, which was docked and immobile, fired on the landing force with her one working gun turret until disabled by American gunfire. Two American destroyers were damaged.

Was France the first military the U.S. fought against in WWII aside from Japan? I was thinking that might be the case.

Actually, Germany was the first military the U.S. fought, even before Japan. There were several times the U.S. navy fought German U-boats, even before the U.S. entered the war.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
My history knowledge is sorely lacking (I think my schooling stopped somewhere with the 18th century material), but there was no way I was guessing that.

I was thinking more of an operation, rather that incidents.
