I’m close to finishing Shadows, then will tackle GoTsushima (never got around to it) then GoY. I made my own samurai trilogy.

There’s a need for a high low mix. Use the high end stuff for main effort large offensives, but what’s good enough for other times? I’m not sure any service is thinking through that dynamic.

I think it needs to go the other way. Yes, get the emerging stuff but that stuff takes time to build/regenerate at scale. There are going to be periods where the high end stuff isn’t available. What do you do when the high end tech is being husbanded for a future offensive? Waiting isn’t it.

Well they just pissed off everyone.

Has a government ever simultaneously pissed off its troops and its farmers before? Because historically, doing just one of those tends to lead to bad things.

The Army will throw any amount of money at technology to avoid spending a far smaller amount of money on marksmanship training.

Seeing a lot of folks being shocked by this but this is just a training agreement. Mountain Home is a major F-15 base & the Qatari air force just bought a bunch. This is pretty common, Norway & the UAE both have facilities in AZ for flight training.

SCOOP: Last year, Ubisoft cancelled an Assassin's Creed game set during Reconstruction. Was to feature a Black Assassin who, among other things, fought the rise of the Klan

Sources: Leadership nixed it over concerns re: U.S. political climate, backlash to Yasuke

Got my first book deal by tweeting at an author "someone should write a book like this" and he responded "you should write a book like that" and tagged his acquisitions editor.
