Obliviousness

He's already mentioned in the article about kill company, from samara Iraq

The book: Twelve Days: the story of the 1956 Hungarian Revolution, by Victor Sebestyen

Starting up this book on audible. Doing it for a small research paper for grad school. Anyone read it? Feedback?

You wrote that?! As an aside, it's kinda cool that I follow on bsky someone who's product's I studied over 10 years ago.

No thank you, I don't want to have to rely on them

And people let him make those choices.

Counterpoint: they are not reserves if they are a committed force/asset.

So the question now is: why don't we have reserves?

Would fit considering US casualties (so far) happen to be reservists.

Ok, I didn't realize a bison could have such swagger.

Counterpoint: it's good this officer wrote such an article. Otherwise everyone would have assumed he was competent. Sunlight is the best disinfectant.

Also, FYI, he's getting lambasted across social media so bad he's deleted his linked in account. His reputation is fucked (laudatory)

Do it.

Or at least find out if they were serious with this. I kinda think they published this to throw guy under the spotlight and get him a bad OER for needs improvement on intellect.

This is a real doozy.

It's hard to believe someone actually wrote this, and yet, here we are.

Though I think the best part is where he argues for a wealth requirement for rank, as though this were the Ancien Regime.

Not those old people in congress. They also prefer to watch birds, but do so when they should be running the government.

I'm talking about the wise ones. The one's who've retired.

Old people know what's good in life.

I just want to fuckin sit here, watching birds eat from the feeder.

Endless commentary, oft hilarious.

But really, if they are willing to lie and posture about their shoe sizes to the decision-maker, no wonder they dont have the candor to say, "no, dont start a war with Iran and close off 20% of the global supply of oil"

Evidence of severe org group-think.

I think we can fault hegseth, Caine, Susie Wiles, and ultimately Trump himself. They built a system that cut out information from getting to decision makers.
I think the same dynamic occurred as with McNamara and Johnson. They only accepted consensus and to agree with pre-determined decisions

I fucking hate this person just from that statement alone

Czechia's Ondřej Satoria, who is a full-time electrician, leaves his final career game to a standing ovation after throwing 4.2 shutout innings against Japan!

Not gonna lie, Sahara is a guilty pleasure of mine. It is absolutely a preposterous adventure movie. Something I can turn on in the background, turn off my brain, and enjoy the adventure.

in case you've never seen it, this is Roger Ebert on The Mummy

Seriously though, why did previous generations look so much older???

Exactly. Gotta look at it through the lens of elites and nobles. Like ancien regime, or ancient history, or modern day Russia. If you want to attack the monarch, you need to target the supporting elites. They are the critical requirements. Find their vulnerabilities.

NO NO NO YOU DON’T

Postal office, publics works folks, the men and women running the city accounts...

All the street level bureaucrats, they are the direct interface between the People and the State. And they could use a kudos every now and then.

Hey all, this is your reminder that the Paralympics is on, and these men and women are fucking heros!!

Incredible athletes, the lot of them!

Watched War Machine on Netflix, and idk who the fuck recommended this, but jebus fuck...

I wasn't expecting anything of substance, but couldn't they at least open a Wikipedia page, ask chatgpt, or consult some dumb private with 2 weeks experience?

Watch Battle Los Angeles. Same vein, much better

Y'all wanna talk Forearm Friday, but have you seen Oksana Masters' forearms????

#paralympics2026
