If "showing skin" is the bar, then I digress. Is this Saudia Arabia? Or Puritan times?

Do men showing off their biceps give them confidence and courage? Honest question. I'd say hell yes. I was there in college 😅 oh and NicksJunk is still there 😝 (Love you man, please don't pulverize me)

Not saying it may be healthy for any human, especially a younger one, to base their sense of value on such a fleeting quality. But if it is part of a larger package of understanding, well that's not abnormal. Men also find their value in "providing" for their family. And women for "caring" for their family. And some folks don't fit into those boxes whatsoever. I think flexibility in understanding your value is critical. Value yourself first and foremost. The rest will follow, as you won't be defined by others...so the rest will be either icing or moot.

I think you're stretching to equate fully nude (minus nipple) photos with showing off biceps

For someone who is raising a daughter it sure will make it harder for me to get her to understand her value is not her body but her character. She's young and isn't exposed to that now, but she will when she gets older. She will have influences around her that I cannot control and all I can do is hope I've raised her correctly and she's taken my parenting to heart and knows she is more than her body.

The Lusitania *cough cough* among others...also pre-Korea and Vietnam. The MI Complex loves some good wartime money. The politicans like happy financial private supporters. And the damned are mostly the children of the middle and lower class.

Spot on. Lusitania in WW1 and Downing Street Memo from Tony Blair to GWB regarding what it would take for the American public to support an invasion of Iraq were the two most glaring examples I had in mind. War is a win/win situation for politicians and the extremely wealthy who are invested in major companies that make weapons or have DoD contracts....not to mention the lobbyist money that lines politicians pockets. They make tons of money and don't have to participate or worry about their kids or grandkids participating in any life threatening way.

I love the U.S and our soldiers (come from a military family) but I depise they way our soldiers are used to make corrupt scumbags even richer.

I personally think that's a load of crap.

You are certainly entitled to your opinion and I respect it but there is a lot of smoke surrounding it and that typically is an indication of way more that is not known. Do you disagree that we used the Lusitania as an excuse to enter WW1? The German's sinking it was pretty damn predictable.

Lol, ze Germans even bought advertising in U.S newspapers warning the public what would happen leading up to them sinking it.
