A phenomenal reflection that will resonate with many veterans. Many of my Marines were repeatedly fired upon but did not return fire due to loss of PID, and the ensuing risk of hitting noncombatants. They did the right thing, but will never rate a combat action ribbon, and that became a burden.

A challenging book in every sense of the term, but also one of the best readings of Clausewitzâs âOn Warâ, who is, and I agree, decidedly not Hegelian.

History is supposedly written by the victors. Sima Qian, author of China's original historical classic, showed it could also be written by the condemned. Read Jeremiah Jenne's essay on the urtext for Chinese history, the Shiji or Records of the Grand Historian:

Not only was this a delightful and insightful read, but it convinced me that I need to read (and reread) more Melville for my dissertation. Thanks to

I think thereâs still prior questions. âWhat, exactly, is command?â And âwhy does war demand it?â Luckily this is what Iâm working on for my diss.

I finally got around to reading this article that was posted on here a bit ago - and while I agree with the sentiments, the actual structure of the argument was so bad that I ended up wanting to replace all of our GOs with AI by the end of it:

I just received and read(!) this delightful, tightly argued read. I wish more academic books could be as insightful in a single-sitting. Reminds me of Mattisâ quote: âThereâs nothing closer to God on earth than a general on a battlefield, frankly.â Qtd. in Sjøgren
