@HVNYrefugee Actually the road is in Maryland.

POV: Someone from VA is explaining how the song “Country Roads” is ACTUALLY about WEST Virginia, not WV

SCENE: Squad Bay "Listen up, troopers. This is your new PL, 2LT [NAME]. If his name sounds familiar, it's because when a terrorist murdered his ROTC professor, he stabbed that motherfucker 22 times. Sir, the platoon is yours" Imagine being one of the line dogs when this happens.

This research highlights the importance of protected time for ongoing research training and mentorship for early-career rehabilitation scientists, demonstrating its long-term impact on their careers. The manuscript is available #openaccess : journals.lww.com/ajpmr/abstract…

@BlastingThrough @DMDoctor3594 Brute Krulak saw the value of helos as a means of maneuver. Wait until calvary starts riding on the back of those robodogs with an autonomous crew-served weapon.

@DMDoctor3594 You got it — the mobility of helicopters.

Let’s blast through a Vietnam myth. The common belief is that the fighting in Vietnam wasn’t as intense as in WWII. The average infantryman in the South Pacific saw about 40 combat days in 4 years. The average infantryman in Vietnam saw about 240 combat days in 1 year. Why?
