This is the way: youtu.be/_pa1KLXuW0Y?...

First play through of “Battle of Hoth.” Yup, it’s Memoir 44 in Star Wars land but simple enough for my 9YO to pick up. With my eldest off at college, the youngest is now going to be the beneficiary of the gazillion Star Wars games I used to play with the eldest. #wargaming

Didn’t deserve to win with all those turnovers. Inexcusable.

Can’t get out of our own way. #NEPats 🤦🏼‍♂️

I wonder, not for the first time, what genuine good a group of retired #USMC generals might have done for defending military values now being placed under stress, rather than throwing away their credibility in hissy fits because that mean old commandant once told them “no.”

The restraint i had to exercise for not swearing the whole game in front of my 9YO deserves an award.

Wow our defense is horrible. #NEPats

It’s like someone crashed all the servers at Miami’s stadium.

Loving this first quarter but what the hell is up with our kicker. #ForeverNE #NEPats

This used to hang in my room in high school, before I made #USA my permanent home, and before I signed that dotted line with #USMC after college. Where the poster is now, I don’t know. But I’ve never forgotten it. We are so fortunate, in so many ways.

Many say Boyd is hard to understand b/c he left no written record. “Snowmobiles [and] Grand Ideals” solves that problem—this is the “definitive Boyd,” w/ full transcripts of his briefings on competition & survival. Digital copy below, hard copies soon! www.usmcu.edu/Portals/218/...

On a day of pouring rain, Pats defense gave up over 300 passing yards in massive chunk plays. Never gonna win like that.

WTF is our defense doing. Oh right, nothing.

OK, maybe Pats D has decided not to be complete trash, at least for the time being.

Cool, cool, Pats D off to their usual start of looking like trash.

John Boyd’s ideas on competition, strategy, & survival aren’t easy to parse given the oral, rather than written, nature of his presentations. No longer—this is the “definitive Boyd,” in his own words, readable & searchable. Now available from MCUP: www.usmcu.edu/Portals/218/...

Been looking forward to this one for a long time #wargaming

Once a year Bill Lind’s name pops up from someone sanitizing his rep or him trying to get invited places, so this is my annual reminder that he’s a dinosaur who fantasized about putting #Marines under the command of war criminals & turning female service members into sex slaves:

The Battle of Leuthen was an example that John Boyd constantly returned to in his military history briefing “Patterns of Conflict,” which readers of the forthcoming full Boyd book “Snowmobiles [and] Grand Ideals” can explore:

New “Marine Pulse” for @warontherocks.bsky.social members:

The so-called Marine Corps “crisis” exists only in the minds of its loudest critics. Ryan Evans takes on the crisis myth: warontherocks.com/20...

That team of Marine writers sounds like really cool dudes.

I know it’s the preseason. I know. But I like what I’m seeing from Vrabel’s #NEPats -protection in the pocket -defense not giving up big plays -special teams on lock -an offense that’s not utterly anemic Good start.

For any new followers, this is your only warning: @patriots.bsky.social football has started, and you are going to see a different side of me.

Oh HELL YEAH #ForeverNE #Pats #Patriots

We had it so good for so long!
