I keep hearing otherwise very smart people repeat the saying “Gaza is the most densely populated place on earth.” It is not even the most densely populated place in the Levant. Stop saying it.

Not gonna lie, I'm freaking out a little about the lack of reporting on Marine Corps Commandant Smith's condition. Not because I don't think the Corps will be okay, it will ... but because I'm genuinely concerned for a good man, friend, leader, and mentor.

God be with the Commandant and his family; wishing him a speedy recovery and return to full duty soon.

I see a lot of articles again lately about a Navy’s job is to sink the other Navy, period. I get it, young budding Mahanians. What’s often missing in these pronouncements is “in order to,” affect outcomes on land. No one lives in the ocean. A Navy that can’t project power ashore can be irrelevant.
