These guys hate history. It’s fucking gross.
Orwellian to claim that this blatantly political decision is "taking the politics out of ship naming."
Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth said Friday that the U.S. Navy was changing the name of a ship named after Harvey Milk, a Navy veteran and one of the country’s first openly gay elected officials. Hegseth said the decision was "taking the politics out of ship naming." https://trib.al/UKLLGqd

HB #USArmy! The org and structure of the Army by Washington is a masterclass into mil/politics. He needed the Army to have Euro qualities and be ‘legit’ as opposed to ragtag to gain support from Europe against the Crown. That legitimacy fueled early wins…Washington remains one of our finest GOs

Pour one out and throw on some funk and soul for a real one. Just started his new bio this past week which is amazing; also catch his doc and life story on Hulu. The funk will live on but with a little less.

Charlie Wilson’s War is a great Cold War film. The parallels with UKR are obvious but don’t gloss over the unique CW history and war in Afghanistan. The soft power, covert, and political nature of war during this period is instructive for today. Also, incredible cast just nailing lines.

Thrilled to finally have my classes and thesis wrapped up as I graduate from American Military University with my MA, Military Studies - Strategic Leadership. One of the hardest mountains I have had to climb but damn, what a ride. 26 months, countless nights and weekends and here we are. 🍾

It’s 1967 and the US command has to make a tough decision. Quang Nam and Da Nang are surrounded. But the US has options. Do they:
1. Surge and commit more troops for another two years to hold off the NVA and stop the invasion.
2. Pull out troops, establish a border and go for a political win
