Your homework…

Crap. My reading list just got a bit longer… All you amateur historians and armchair generals will have a field day with this. And best of all, it’s all free.

    Is it wrong that I saw a paper on the Victorio campaign and got excited?

    No. It’s not my bag, baby, but I’ve downloaded a few to peruse later.

    OOO… Staff Rides. I actually wrote one for Antietam. That’s a great site. I’ll have to spend some time there.

    Tim, I noticed one or two bits on Civil War battlefields and thought of you.

    All good stuff. I’ve used the staff ride guides often on the battlefields (as you know I’m somewhat focused on the CW stuff).

    What I don’t like is re-branding of GWOT. Granted “Long War” was a term used by the Bush administration, but I didn’t like it then and certainly find it superficial now.

    Craig, you know, and I know, some Major or LTC got a bullet point on his OER for staffing the decision to switch from GWOT to Long War.

    Look, it doesn’t matter if we call it the war to make Fluffy Puppies safe, it matters that we are at war. But you’ll never get a bureaucracy to act as if that were true.

    You are a cruel man Brad. My list of unread stuff has just increased by an order of magnitude.

    I was disappointed to find that Army Aviation magazine has been taken over by a private association.

    Fluffy Puppies are supposed to be safe.

    I’m still not done looking at all the links there. There’s a gazillion PDFs in there, including Duffer’s Drift.
