I realized this was the case for a lot of other attorneys when the AI citation sanctions kept coming

Are we falling out of love with nonfiction? In the early 2020s, readers flocked to books to explain political turbulence. But is the world now too grim to read about – and are podcasters taking the place of authors?

my view on this is that publishers should stop it with the 80k wordcount obsession, so many contemporary non-fic books are obviously 40-50k pieces of work stretched to the extent that they become very boring to read - just let people write cheaper, shorter books! www.theguardian.com/books/2025/d...

"Now, the first, the greatest, the most decisive act of judgment that the statesman and commander exercise is that of understanding the war which he undertakes correctly in this respect, and not take it forβ€”or seek to make itβ€”something it, by nature of its circumstances, cannot be."

The only statistic you need to know about the effectiveness of the air war in WWII was the Luftwaffe had a grand total of 380 operational aircraft on the Eastern and Western front to stop a combined 17,000 Allied and Soviet aircraft supporting Operation Overlord and Operation Bagration

I can't remember who offered up "orders that are illegal to give but not to follow" point recently, but that's basically it as far as this whole stupid war goes

an illegal war "strategically" does not have direct bearing on whether a specific tactical action violated LOAC

"We're fighting to win the war"

We are a week in and absolutely nobody has any idea what the political aim we're attempting to achieve is. Win what? Literally what are we fighting to achieve at the moment.

I have absolutely no idea atm if we are close to winning because I have no idea what we want

As with Vietnam - when the military starts to list off big numbers instead of tangible accomplishments, things are going nowhere

My t-shirt that says "We Can Definitely Sustain This & Have No Shortage Of Will For This Mission Which Is Totally Defined" is causing people to ask a lot of question answered by the shirt.

The American King Goes to War This is not what the Founders intended.

The constitution's design does not grant the president a kinglike ability to take the country to war by himself, lest he do so for self-serving reasons. That is the entire purpose of dividing that authority between POTUS and Congress. Guess what just happened? www.theatlantic.com/ideas/2026/0...

What does this imply for those of us who are not Christian, and who labor under the assumption that we're protected by the First Amendment?

"...that it can maintain itself in a state of perfect readiness to engage in war immediately and decisively and win a total victory soon after the outbreak without destroying its own economy, pauperizing its own people, and promoting interior disorder."

"The belief in push-button war is fundamentally a fallacy. But it is not a new fallacy. It is simply an age-old fallacy in modern dress. There is one controlling truth from all past wars which applies with equal weight to any war of tomorrow. No nation on earth possess such limitless resources... /1

I'll say again that everything that happened is how submarine warfare has always worked. But also, it is fair to say when submarine warfare started, it was hugely controversial for the same reasons that everyone is saying now.

Not the only way to do it of course and not appropriate to many very technical roles, but the reason most logisticians and SuppOs suck as lieutenants, for example, is they haven’t the first clue what they’re supporting.

That’s also the genius behind the military occupational systems that force most folks to β€œbranch designate” or β€œstrike a rate” - go do the broad grunt work at the heart of the respective service and gain XP before a niche advisory role. Like, a 2ndLt PAO doesn’t know wtf he/she is talking about.
