    But why contribute when nitpicking is so much fun :p

    Objectively this is true.

    But putting countries into boxes labeled BLUFOR and OPFOR is far simpler and more emotionally gratifying, even if it obfuscates the reality of the situation.

    A real shame, but also a display of character. Petraeus could've stayed on as DCIA despite the affair, past Directors certainly have.

    Right, but if the ROC's AShM capability is structured in a way that mitigates the impact PLAAF/2nd Artillery Corp stand-off fires have on their operational effectiveness, then how can the PLAN...

    I've been reading papers on Taiwan and Operation Change of Direction this weekend and, while I might be chasing phantoms, I started to see a lot of connections between the attributes Hezbollah...

    Time for the anticlimax

    Came about when I sent an email to a field grade requesting the TA-50 for an upcoming training opportunity. Apparently it didn't translate at all, six hours later I ended up getting an email from his...
