          Now go spend 32 hours cutting the corners off every piece of paper on the ship.

            About as many corners as were cut in the construction of the Galactica.

              She was a tough ol’ bird that endured far more than what her more modern descendants could hope to. and without any dry docking/repairs/overhauls. Just field repairs.

              To bad they ruined the entire show by having it end with them looking at primitive tribals, salivating at the opportunity to use them as breeding stock.

      Small edit for you

      serves and protects the people property and the value associated with that property

      Wait, which is meant to be serving and protecting the people? Because it isn’t the police, and I don’t think it’s the military… 🤔

        I think in theory the police are meant to. But the ‘theory’ part of that sentence is doing a lot of heavy lifting.

          Only it was never the theory either, the police has always been the violent enforcer of the state towards its own population.

        The National Guard protects and serves quite a bit after natural disasters. Maybe it’s referring to that?

          The Coast Guard protects and serves people. Granted, it’s usually people who don’t know how sailboats work, but it’s something at least.
