Rob is reading The Professional Soldier🧭

I'm playing a 40k game and I keep picking the kindest, liberal, most tolerant dialogue choices and so far it's working out? Just waiting for some void demon or whatever to kill everyone cause I'm too nice.

Everything I've ever read with this cover style has been fantastic. Probably a publisher or something.

I started reading Hegel. Then I joined the Air Force.

"Potential" giving us too much credit, but at least it happened early enough that I didn't get my hopes too high.

Baudrillardzoi

I know but hey!

Would probably suspect these numbers have changed a bit in 75 years...

The people crave theory, I don't know what to tell ya

Very funny that even on the shores of Normandy, what would become the USAF didn't want to do CAS for the Army because then they would never let them go. Can't say they weren't forward thinking lol. (Janowitz, The Professional Soldier)

In the Dr. Stranglove survival kit checklist scene, there's a really awkward dub where Maj Kong says "Shoot, a fella could have a pretty good weekend in Vegas with all that stuff." But in the original shot he says Dallas but this was cut because of the Kennedy assassination.

"I had it from Xenophon" is easily one of the coolest things you can say after receiving a compliment for doing something well, even if it has nothing to do with light infantry skirmish tactics.

I would like to see more unsubstantiated conjecture about the DPRK.

Honorable mention to how every Battlefield 4 Carrier Strike map probably has a coin toss for whether the winning commanding officer should be court martialed anyway for whatever results in two hostile LHAs being so close to each other

Japanese curry pot pie.

Excuse to repost this classic

I read this! Pretty good and an easy read because it's broken up into a bunch of different essays. Should probably read Huntington and Janowitz first. I especially liked the USAF part.

Stewart went from E-1 to O-6 in FOUR years. He also instructed at Kirtland in ABQ NM and was the installation commander at Dobbins in Marietta GA. Just some fun facts.

Now reading. Prolly gonna take me a while. 😅

Omg I get to use a community reaction image for the first time in forever

woop! woop! that’s the sound of da poleis

Residents of Le Mans about to get inundated with these ads soon.

REVIEW: Pretty much just surveys classical airpower theorists (<100 pgs). The most interesting part is about Warden since Mets worked for him at ACSC. Still, if you want to learn about Air Power as theory and doctrine, you're better off just reading the chapter from Makers and then The Air Campaign.

Watching the new Spider-Man with my family I can tell they really appreciate how many times I'm exclaiming "Not a tank."

One of life's great joys is to tell your kid "You've been there" whenever someplace you took them on vacation shows up in a show.

All do respect to James, but this is textually incorrect. The Iliad is about darkness shrouding people's eyes, detailed descriptions of shields, and extended metaphors about lions.

Yeah I've been to Killeen

"Hello, yes, I would like to play the pretty dress game too, please, thank you."

As someone who's spent a good bit of time in Fort Bend (home of Sugarland and Tom DeLay lol) I'll just say this :

Also listening to Other People's Wars which is fascinating although I'm not sure if I've learned anything beyond "Humans, military or otherwise, will do anything to align facts with their priors and defend their own little fiefdoms."

Now reading

That...is Mario Kart.

Fun on a bun
