She never seemed to do well in unscripted situations. When answering any questions in an interview, even from friendly interviewers, she always seemed to be thinking "what did my staff recommend I say for questions like this?" rather than "I will answer this question with what I believe in".

American public schools suck

Who runs American public schools?

Those “teenagers” were 18 and were enlisted to the IDF

Heh. Typical. Technically correct, but used in a way meant to be wildly misleading. Something similar is done regarding gun crime victims. One misleading stat involves "children" who are victims of gun violence. Some of these 'victims' are gang members in their late teens or early twenties.

I'm not the person you are replying to, but yes, an attack on an Israeli base is a legitimate attack, not a 'terrorist attack'.

and their Hezbollah affiliation was unclear.

Why would Hezbollah distribute one way pagers to non-members? These pagers weren't for sale on the open market. Hezbollah bought them for their members only.

Hezbollah actually had a good idea to use these pagers instead of cell phones. Cell phones can be tracked, these pagers can't be tracked. Unfortunately for Hezbollah, the IDF has infiltrated the Hezbollah's communications.

Would Russia doing this to Ukraine count as a well executed precise attack?

If Russia were able to plant mini-bombs into the communication equipment distributed to Ukraine's armed forces? Yes, it would be described as a well executed, precise attack.

Armies world wide often "booby trap" equipment or ammunition that they think will fall into enemy hands.

Flashing to pass 'might' have been a thing long ago. When I was taught driver's ed in the 1980s, we were told not to do it, so perhaps it was done in previous decades.

As others have said, It depends on what kind of programming you do. Some areas requite a lot. Others not so much. It's logic, not math, that is needed the most.

You may want to check if your college has a different kind of programming degree. As I understand things, there are basically two kinds of programming degrees. "Computer Science" has much steeper math requirements and focuses on applications that deal with Science or engineering issues. "MIS (Management Information Systems)" degrees focus on actual programming that businesses need, not programs that are science or engineering focused.

1967: Six Day War. Israel invades a variety of areas that it borders

You've made a pretty good summary, but I have one quibble: Egypt, Syria and Jordan were planning to attack Israel. Israel launched pre-emptive strikes.
