We don’t want batteries thrown at cadets and midshipmen.

The game was decided by turnovers, and Allen missing a wide open Knox near the end of regulation.

When I think about it, Ted DiBiase was right about everything.

“Then it all crashes down
And you break your crown
And you point your finger
But there’s no one around
Just want one thing
Just to play the king
But the castle’s crumbled
And you’re left with just a name
Where’s your crown, King Nothing?”

-James Hetfield, Lars Ulrich, and Kirk Hammett

Without revealing your actual age,what's something you remember that if you told a younger person they wouldn't understand?

What gets me about that was how those who refused to take part weren't punished, just assigned other tasks. But how few of those that took that option.

“military 101” just too broad.

understand the competing theories of civil-military relations begin with:

“The Soldier and the State” by Samuel Huntington and the better “Supreme Command” by Eli Cohen

@kschake.bsky.social book “The State and the Soldier“ has terrific analysis of those theories

Underrated Christmas movie

Yeah, but did The Simpsons predict it?

Yeah, 59s tend to get put into or selected to lead CAGs/CIGs.

My experience at CCMDs and JS, 48s tend to be the country or region desk officers. 59s the ones who write strategy and plans.
When one tries to act as the other is when things go sideways.

It’s a terrific essay. Of course you publish with JFQ, you put your article at risk of being unpublished sometime in the future.

Mini series starting with Marshall testing Ike in War Plans through VE Day
They should make a movie about Eisenhower in Europe so the public can learn how catastrophically complicated a modern military is.

Embiggening 7-8 was not a very cromulent thing to do.
