@AdrianBonenber1 dont have to imagine it, Adrian. This jerk has put us on a path of isolation and our one time allies cannot trust that America wont vote another idiot like him into the presidency. That trust disappeared.

Imagine unraveling the strongest defensive alliance in human history simply because Europe refuses to get involved in an offensive war begun abruptly and without consulting them, without clear objectives or any discernible endstate wsj.com/world/trump-ra…

The White House has gotten this image of Karoline Leavitt censured from Getty because it was “unflattering “. Please don’t you dare share it.

Donald Trump doesn’t want you talking about the fact that his disapproval rating is an all-time high 62%, so whatever you do, don’t share this tweet. It will make him very mad.

Read a different kind of Vietnam War story, the story from a conscientious objector, who served in country with the US Army. amazon.com/dp/B0DS8JHRVP #vvmf #vietnamveternsmemorialfund #military #military #history #service #sacrifice #vietnamveterans #veterans #vietnamwar

Whatever you do, make sure that you don’t repost this No Kings ad, produced by @senecaprojectus Donald Trump will lose it!

I drive back and forth to Springfield, MA to teach at Springfield College a couple times a week and have been catching up on podcasts. This one was good. I'm gonna have to buy @Jacob__Siegel's Information State!

BOMBSHELL: Former Bush official accidentally says the quiet part out loud on Fox News. The goal isn't freedom. The plan is to send Marines to seize Kharg Island, steal 96 percent of Irans oil, and control their economy like Venezuela. Pure imperialism.

"It has forever been thus: So long as men write what they think, then all of the other freedoms- all of them- may remain intact. And it is then that writing becomes a weapon of truth, an article of faith, an act of courage." ~Rod Serling

@stonehill_info Dr. Kenneally was very fine teacher, and I was so happy to be in his classes. Tough to get an A from him, he made you do the work. I finally did get one from him, and I still have the blue book! Rest In Peace, sir.

In Memoriam | Professor Emeritus of History James J. Kenneally, whose decades of service to Stonehill College profoundly impacted the institution, passed away on Wednesday, March 11, 2026. He was 96. Read more: bit.ly/4dlryft

@AdrianBonenber1 Sounds like Westmoreland didn’t read it either- I was there in 69 when Abrams was in charge. He had read it

The book details the North Vietnamese siege of Dien Bien Phu. It's a hard read if you like the French (I do) and don't want the North Vietnamese to win (I didn't). It's a story of arrogance, bad planning, and assumptions about what sort of operations a military can sustain

Before my first deployment to Afghanistan, with the 173rd Airborne Brigade, I was encouraged by a friend to read "Hell in a Very Small Place" by Bernard Fall. We were heading to a valley that was difficult to resupply by land. I'm glad I read it.

@AdrianBonenber1 air power dominance doesn't win the war, and if boots are sent, they need artillery, one of US strengths in previous wars. WTF are they doing?

The Pentagon and the military-industrial complex have massive problems that become apparent in scenarios like these. One reason states such as Connecticut should build large voluntary state guards is to reclaim some manufacturing from these sprawling multinational corporations

Small remarkable detail in this piece: after Biden set the goal to produce 100k 155mm shells per month by August 2025, we've only managed to achieve... 40k per month. An astonishing failure by both Biden and Trump at a moment when production capacity is sorely needed.

March 29th - Vietnam War Veterans Day. 25K conscientious objectors (CO) served in the war. I was one of them. Read my story In paperback, or Kindle. amazon.com/dp/B0DS8JHRVP #militarywriters #milwriting #militarywriting #warliterature #writingcommunity #writingmarkets #VietnamWar

@23SkidooSt @atrupar I read that the Navy pulled all nine minesweepers out of middle east just before the war. WTF

Q: You have said the US military has aerial and naval superiority over Iran, yet we're not escorting ships through the Strait of Hormuz. How did you not plan for this? HEGSETH: We planned for it. We recognize it. Um, because ultimately, we want to do it sequentially in a way that makes the most sense for what we want to achieve.
