[July 1, 2023] There was a time when the U.S. Supreme Court was not as controversial. The Court’s decision this past Wednesday to end the use of race in college admissions was long overdue and they stirred an expected visceral response from leftists across the country.

[June 29, 2023] For those of us who study war, geopolitics, and statesmanship and like to understand why there is such a profound difference in modern-Western thought and all other nation-states, welcome to the world of humans. One of those enigmas is Russia; not Western but also not Oriental but Slav. And Slav has meaning in the great… Read More »
[June 26, 2023] Yesterday was the 73rd anniversary of the invasion of South Korea by their communist North Korea: June 25, 1950.

[June 25, 2023] Two days ago, we began hearing that Yevgeny Prigozhin’s Wagner mercenary group had withdrawn from their positions in Ukraine and turned eastward toward Moscow in an alleged attempt to overthrow Vladimir Putin.

[June 24, 2023] We now know the Titan submersible operated by OceanGate Expeditions experienced a “catastrophic implosion,” killing all five aboard her, including the now-deceased CEO Stockton Rush.

[June 16, 2023] For good-thinking folk, we can quickly figure out that inviting an anti-Catholic, anti-Christian group to their game will not sit well with fans. And worse, the LA Dodgers will “honor” a hate group for their ‘contributions to society.’ If you thought the Marketing VP of Bud Light was stupid by causing her brand to crash,… Read More »
[June 13, 2023] I was one of those army officers who somehow managed to get plenty of medals during my 40 years. These medals were for various military campaigns, for bravery in combat, or for doing a good job. I might be unusual, but I never wanted to get a “medal” for doing something good.

[June 12, 2023] Billy C., a reader of my blog, a couple of days ago, drew my attention to the great Arkansas State Police troopers, their courage on the job, and the fan base of those who follow their exploits on social media. Curious, I looked on YouTube to discover he was spot on with his observation. What… Read More »
[June 11, 2023] In a recent article by Gary Saul Morson titled Do Russians Miss War?, he asks appropriate questions about the Russian culture of war (link here). This is not that dissimilar to two articles I wrote a while back that asked Do you miss war? , and Why Soldiers Miss War. Morson’s main point is that… Read More »
[June 8, 2023] As a new Platoon Leader in the U.S. Army Infantry, my Soldiers were always comparing me to their previous leader. And oh, that Lieutenant did not do so well.
