Thanks so much for sharing this, Battle. Superb balanced writing with the right amount of context — and obviously, spot on. We cannot lose the moral high ground, as challenging as it is to take and defend.

I can confirm the creative (and effective messaging) use of a Simpsons’ screen shot during an all-hands combat update in Iraq. I’m still smiling!

Classic “quick thread,” from you, Doc! Also classic Silverman because it is well-written and provokes deeper thinking about a topic. This is an example of why your advice was so indispensable to me; miss working with you, my friend.

Not on my watch, Ben. Do you recall when this happened, or is this a current event?

ROTM, Battle! Hope you are well — thanks!
