Sorry, but in war, you have to subordinate values to interests whenever there is a direct conflict. Our history is replete with examples of where...
Yep. Got it. That was the point of taking the hostages. That’s why I believe Israel needs to set its jaw and see this thing through, assuming the...
Ordnance. Common but humorous similarly sounding terms. I once had to peer review a paper that wrote “parody” when they meant “parity.” That was...
How do you move an ordinance around?
I don’t see where he says they did. Speaking for self, I don’t believe Iran was able to convert that tribute into military hardware over the past...

Still … there’s something about Putin warning us not to do something (again) that — I don’t know — just makes me want to do it and prove how empty...
Ah. Hadn’t heard of it.
What movie? I don’t think I was referring to a movie.
On your first point, not really. All of those positions are in fact filled and competent people are there making the decisions. The ship is...
Yep. Just wrote a paper on that decision for the school I’m in. Coincidentally, it was due last week. Militarily, hitting first would have been...
Yes, there is. You’re the guy on December 9, 1941 saying “That’s what you dumbasses get for cutting off the flow of their oil.” Unlike many...
