I don’t want to paint with too broad a brush, as I know a couple of career officers who are quite...
This seems to go both ways.
I have no idea how editors judge something to be newsworthy, but this one is a real puzzler and disappointment. And in the age when every venue jumps on any possible story to get something online as...
The Post will dislike whomever necessary on the day in question in order to sell more copies. :D

Pardon my language, but no ####?!? Is there a brand name?
OK, that was my general impression, but I haven’t ever known anyone falling into the category, so I wasn’t entirely sure.
[An aside, at the danger of going to too far off into the weeds. I do...
I have no idea how things have changed over the decades, but the IDF seems to have been accepting recruits with U.S. citizenship as recently as this past summer....

First question: You got me. Almost none at the moment? The chances might go up with a few third party incentives and 5–10 more years of the current status quo....
I understood him to suggest Turkey as contributing substantially to the “weapons and force” part of the equation.
That’s interesting in light of some of what Joshua Landis was saying in a CNN interview yesterday: http://cnn.it/1Ef74tT
I wrote a short online piece about RR last winter. If you’re interested, I started a thread around it after it went up: http://council.smallwarsjournal.com/showthread.php?t=19656

Am I right to assume that some of the (indeed, deeply shocking) loss of life was of a piece with pre-War Stalinist political purging, economic reorganization, and social engineering?

Thanks for the heads-up on this one, Dave. I’ve scanned it and I’m looking forward to giving it a closer read.
Now you’re got me curious as to what model boots the French troops were issued....

I can typically see the seams when writers whose subject matter expertise is the profession of writing tackle a topic, but Michael Greenberg’s essay “‘Broken Windows’ and the New York Police” in the...
In the video of the interview with Joshua Landis that I posted on the Syria thread yesterday he touches on some of the previous relations between the FSA and the Daesh, particularly in the taking of...
