I think a new hobby would solve all my problems

The simulated combatants were the United States, referred to as "Blue", and a fictitious state in the Persian Gulf, "Red", often characterized as Iran or Iraq.[2][3] MC02 was an experiment mandated by Congress in 2000 to "explore critical war fighting challenges at the operational level of war that will confront United States joint military forces after 2010."[4] The simulation took two years of planning and involved 13,000 troops. The Red force, led by retired Marine Corps Lieutenant General Paul K. Van Riper, used numerous asymmetrical tactics unanticipated by the Blue force; a pre-emptive cruise missile attack sunk sixteen Blue warships and led to the exercise's suspension. The simulation was restarted with Blue forces fully restored, and Red forces heavily constrained from free-play "to the point where the end state was scripted",[4] resulting in a Blue victory. Van Riper later criticized the cost of the exercise as "wasted".[5]

They still have a solid presence at the Richmond, VA airport. Was surprised they were allowed to set up a table inside

It’s crazy to think how much money Fugazi left on the table by only charging $5 for tickets. One of the most boneheaded business decisions of all time 😂

We're only a few blocks from a Federal Reserve building, so my fingers are crossed

When I lived on Capitol Hill, I thought of it as a perk that I'd be wiped out in a first strike. No fallout for this guy

Awesome, would be great to maintain that campus somehow

Good point. And Norfolk! It's settled then. Suck it, Jefferson Davis

My company considers the Richmond office part of its Nortgeast region, but I guess this makes it official. Virginia is now Northeastern

Interesting that they're willing to go on the record for these comments

This War Will Destabilize The Entire Mideast Region And Set Off A Global Shockwave Of Anti-Americanism vs. No It Won’t George W. Bush may think that a war against Iraq is the solution to our problems, but the reality is, it will only serve to create far more.

This War Will Destabilize The Entire Mideast Region And Set Off A Global Shockwave Of Anti-Americanism vs. No It Won’t

We are At War now, according to President Bush, and I take him at his word. He also says this War might last for "a very long time." Generals and military scholars will tell you that eight or 10 years is actually not such a long time in the span of human history - which is no doubt true - but history also tells us that 10 years of martial law and a wartime economy are going to feel like a Lifetime to people who are in their twenties today. The poor bastards of what will forever be known as Generation Z are doomed to be the first generation of Americans who will grow up with a lower standard of living than their parents enjoyed. That is extremely heavy news, and it will take a while for it to sink in. The 22 babies born in New York City while the World Trade Center burned will never know what they missed. The last half of the 20th century will seem like a wild party for rich kids, compared to what's coming now. The party's over, folks.

There's something nefarious about two-factor authorization, right? Especially the sites that push it instead of the password I've already set up...

Nothing against MOCA but it should be at the American Civil War Museum in Richmond, to show how the conflict has endured in our culture.
