You’ve been kidnapped. The characters from the last TV show you watched are trying to rescue you. Who’s coming to save you? I suppose one of them is also Deadpool…

I see FM 1-0 is off to a smashing start

That is one of the dumbest quotes. The purpose of war is not to kill, the purpose of war is to get your adversary to do what you want, via battles and campaigns that involve killing

The US Army can’t see the war for the battles.

And we’re not warriors.

I cannot even say just how much Andor is a TV show for our time.

And the amazing thing is that Keith’s point is not just one that is explicit in Andor, it’s also present subtly & implicitly in other notes in the show, exploring how those different forms of expression occur, and their toll.
The very explicit point of Andor, over and over and over, is that every single act of tyranny, of cruelty, of incompetent indifference, will breed people that hate the regime. And that hate will find expression, somehow.

Toxic masculinity isn’t a concern here, and we don’t view empathy as toxic. For centuries, adult males have huddled together, protecting the colony’s most vulnerable, giving their future a chance amidst the raging storms that threaten them.

Local people in Annapolis are making books removed from the Naval Academy's library available to students. Here's what one of them, a retired Navy commander, said about it. Give him another medal for service to his country.

A short article of mine on civil-military relations and democratic backsliding had been accepted for publication in the journal "Connections".

Then I received an email that the editors can't publish the paper unless I "remove the case study/examples of the United States" (1/x)

“Compromises pile up when you are in the hands of a skilled extortionist” Perhaps the Academies can take a page from the WH and say this was all a mistake.

It was an incredible honor to discuss CNA #wargaming and the value of educational wargaming in #PME at the Australian Defence College. Thank you for being wonderful hosts & sharing your experiences with me. I'm reminded there's always more to learn.

Everyone should watch this. Then share it with anyone who thinks these tariffs are a good idea and won’t crush small businesses.
