1: Tanks are not a deathtrap, FFS. A lot wrong w/this thought but for starters: Infantry and Artillery alone did not work out so well during WWI. The tank was designed to break out of the trench warfare characteristic of the era. See the Somme.

@RichardGarriott Tanks are a deathtrap now. With neither side having air superiority, you’re left with infantry & artillery – essentially WW1.

Many have immigrated and become US citizens. So if you need a tax professional in Sacramento I know a guy. Likewise, if you need a healthcare professional in Charlottesville, I have a friend there. Once upon a time they were my teammates, now they are just as American as I am. 6/

Never change Twitter. These two paid $8 to police the use of the 🫡 as if emoji use is some sort of stolen valor. Hope no one reports me for using 🚀 without being an actual astrophysicist.

Orlando airport inspector who denied entry to al-Qahtani — the 20th hijacker who was later detained at Tora Bora. Inspector’s son, Enrique, served in the 75RR, AWG, and commanded the Golden Knights. Phenomenal teammate. Incredible story.

If you think the attacks on public schools are not about Brown, research when a large # of private schools opened in the south. Then research why Fort Campbell and Fort Knox DODEA schools were established in the 60s. Hint: the army refused to send kids to segregated schools.

Russ was in my company during a previous deployment to Iraq. 1SG and I would have him stop by the CP just to hear all of his stories, especially after he came back from leave in Australia. Miss you, Russ.

Serious question: wouldn’t vaccine refusal make a service member non-deployable to countries that require vaccination, and therefore hurt readiness? Commanders are charged w/readiness. If passed, this takes part of it out of their hands.

The COVID shot mandate for our servicemembers is officially removed in this year’s NDAA. This victory is an important step in stopping the Biden administration’s overreach, and strengthening our military once more.

When teaching doctrine to Majors I make a point of stating that everything the army does is political. The army serves political leaders (civilian control) to achieve political objectives via the employment of force (or the threat of the employment of force). 1/2

Just rcvd a message from a platoon sergeant from my time in 5-4 CAV -- one of my 1SGs took his life last night. Father of 4, including a 2-y/o. Went to Malawi w/him when I took squadron command. We used to run down and back up the Zomba Plateau. Please reach out. People need you.
