Uniform Code Of Military Justice
The general should be required to report to the president the same way privates reported to him when he commanded a company. After stopping three steps away from Obama’s desk, he should have to hold a salute until his superior … Continue reading
Barack Bush Bashing
The president proves he is just like Bush by repudiating the Bush doctrine. I’m sure there’s a firebagger who can explain to me how that works. The president has a habit of making major policy speeches to the corps of … Continue reading
Afghanistan and the Obama Military (UPDATE)
Operation Mushtarak began this weekend. The Obama military is going to war under the banner of a non-English noun. Mushtarak is defined as “common,” “joint,” “combined,” “concurrent,” or “collective;” in the Arabic of international relations this word is used to … Continue reading
Building Afghanistan’s Army
The United States begins Operation Afghanistan with the army we have…and the Afghan army we have. As Maureen Dowd put it, It seems late to realize this, but Gates told reporters he had only recently learned the “eye-opener” that the … Continue reading
A Map For Redmond
Voila. The emphasis is on cognitive details rather than accurate cartography. Objectives and the physical and human terrain are emphasized. The northern areas are where the “Northern Alliance” chiefs and tribal allies live. Up til now, most of the fighting … Continue reading
Russ Feingold’s Questions Answered

Tweety’s Military Meme
I’m not going to write a big, long blog post explaining everything that’s wrong with the notion that our military exists in natural opposition to Democratic presidents. It’s sufficient to note that Reagan is often credited with decisions made under … Continue reading
Leaving Afghanistan
Amid all the hoopla from progressives, the message I get from this is: American troops start leaving Afghanistan in 18 months. I’m not sure which part of that promises “endless war.”
Afghanistan Delusions
A new Senate report states the obvious: WASHINGTON — Osama bin Laden was unquestionably within reach of U.S. troops in the mountains of Tora Bora when American military leaders made the crucial and costly decision not to pursue the terrorist … Continue reading
Lost Cause and Betrayal Mythology
Taking a page from southern apologists for slavery and Jim Crow, the conservative movement has succeeded in creating a “lost cause” and betrayal narrative for its electoral losses in 2008. Public Policy Polling has found that a majority of Republicans … Continue reading
