Um Drogenschmuggelboote aufzubringen, wollen die US-Republikaner via Gesetz wieder das Freibeutertum einführen. Privatleute könnten dann mit Kaperbriefen der US-Regierung Jagd auf Boote der Kartelle machen.

It wasn’t a dream…
Sean Bean and Bernard Cornwell really did join me & Liam Telfer @liamtelfer.bsky.social on the Napoleonic Wars Pod @napwarspod.bsky.social last night.
As Sean put it ‘we could have talked all night’.
We also discovered which is Bernard’s favourite book from the Sharpe series.

Es wird ernst! Im April erscheint „Urban Warfare - Krieg zu Hause“. Im Zentrum steht die Frage: Warum wird Krieg nicht irgendwo geführt – sondern immer wieder in unseren Städten, wo Menschen leben, lieben und arbeiten? Und was macht das mit den Soldaten und Zivilisten, die diesen Kampf erleben?

The Akagi
Everyone seems to enjoy the warship biographies and I thought, as this week is the anniversary of Pearl Harbor I would do one of the vessels involved, the carrier, Akagi.
