    How have the Chinese not played the reverse card and intentionally celebrated cooking fried rice as a sign of bravery in the face of an adversary here?

      Getting your unit killed out of stubbornness crosses the line from bravery to just being stupid.

      Something tells me it would like go over about as well as dressing up as a British colonial officer to celebrate Independence Day.

          Yes, I’m sure you’ll find some people who might dress up for a performance, but I don’t think this is very common. At least I’ve never seen it.

          You realize that while a single counterexample DOES invalidate a logical argument, a single outlier does not invalidate a statistical trend, right?
