You're missing out if you're not using monitor arms everywhere.
I didn't use them for a long time which was a mistake.
By far the best bang-for-your-buck upgrade available.
These days, good monitor arms are only ~$50 and take 5 minutes to install.

The masked burglar broke into the closed Virginia liquor store early on Saturday and hit the bottom shelf. The bandit was something of a nocturnal menace: bottles were smashed and alcohol pooled on the floor.
The suspect acted like an animal because, in fact, he's a raccoon.

For further clarity, for 25 years this is how the US operated in Afghanistan and Iraq against terror targets. Follow on actions occurred if the commander believed it was necessary and they did not need further authorization from higher up.
They need to rewrite the TTPs so this won’t happen again.

Based on my experience, this is likely true and typically how things operate.

I’m not saying the voters weren’t bozos, but functional democracies don’t give failed coup plotters a second chance. If Nixon had tried something like January 6 he would have died in Leavenworth even if they had to amend the constitution to keep him there
