After much consideration, I have decided to apologize for my past statements, and I have embraced the need for the DoD to adopt the Silicon Valley Mindset.

There are good arguments to be made that the US does not need a Marine Corps. This is not one of them. Instead, it is a textbook example of combining an ahistorical narrative with cherrypicked details to fit an argument. 1/

The Marine Corps just had its 250th birthday — now let’s abolish it
As much respect as everyone has for the Marines, their service branch became redundant and dependent on other branches long ago.

Also if you’ve never read Pape, you should. This is definitely one of the books that has influenced me a great deal and it’s actually pretty readable for people that don’t have a FP/defense/military background

I don't understand how anyone can watch how blatantly Grok is manipulated to answer the way ownership desires it to and then act like the other LLM chatbots couldn't possibly be similarly but less obviously compromised to produce responses in whatever way corporate interests and priorities dictate.

Taken together with other events of this past year, the message acceptance of this deal is that
1) Illegally invading is a viable way to achieve strategic goals, with very few lasting consequences
2) The only sure guarantee of security is having nuclear weapons

This excellent WSJ annotation of the Molotov/Ribbentrop … sorry, Witkoff/Dmitriev … “peace deal” for Ukraine shows how ridiculously vague and utterly unworkable this thing is

“Orthodoxy” is *A* way to say “the consensus backed by studies of every scientist in the relevant fields.” Do better, @nytimes.com
Breaking News: Robert F. Kennedy Jr. said he personally instructed the CDC to abandon its position that vaccines do not cause autism. The move underscores his determination to challenge scientific orthodoxy — in this case, that vaccines save lives — and bend the health department to his will.
RFK Jr. Says He Instructed CDC to Change Vaccines and Autism Language on Website
In an interview, Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. cited gaps in vaccine safety research. His critics say he is ignoring a larger point: Vaccines save lives.

This is obscene.
Two panels commemorating the contribution of Black American soldiers towards the liberation of the Netherlands in World War Two have been quietly removed from a cemetery in Limburg. It follows a complaint by right-wing think tank The Heritage Foundation to the American Battle Monuments Commission.
