Here's some cross posting from an ancient history board: I personally find his enitrely western-centric view of ancient warfare to be completely unrealistic. His assertion in The Western Way of War that the Greeks INVENTED the pitched battle is pantently false, as there are plenty of sources...

Well, it seems that his theories about the phalanx formation are not generally accepted by most  experts. I don't remember the specifics, It's been a while since I did that course, maybe I'll get back to you on that. It is possible that everyone just hates him because of his politics.

Did you run him into the ground?  :)

Oh come ON. Stay in your lane? Get it?

I say we get rid of DEUs all together. There aren't enough hours in the day to do PT and listen to Pashtun tapes, and they still want me to get boot polish and brasso on my hands? I bet that stuff causes cancer too.

VDH is, as usual, nothing more than a Bushvik parrot. Since no one in academia takes his works on the ancient Greeks seriously, I suppose he's got to eat somehow. Yes, and as anyone who works in the oil industry is keenly aware of, oil company profits have also skyrocketed with oil prices...

I won't, but just out of curiosity, what forms of support would you be offering to those who DO agree with you? I'd like to know what I was missing out on......

Isn't that what they said about the FN C1? I think we need more progressive, enlightened NCOs like TCBF.......

That teen pregnancy was down, correct? That it was due to the prevalence of other-than-vaginal intercourse, correct? Of course this in it self is ridiculous, as if anal sex was the only method of birth control available today, but we'll run with it for the sake of argument. Because most...

...by giving an example that proves exactly the opposite?  ??? Do you need me to draw you a picture? You made the assertion that A) Statisitics indicate that rates of teen pregnancy are going down. and then B) teenagers are more often engaging in sex other than vaginal intercourse. You then...

One anecdote I gathered from Mgen Mackenzie's book, the authority on this sort of thing: If the plt's wives and girlfriends decide to collectively send a package of personally owned lingerie and brassiers in a "care package", ensure that each item is clearly marked with the name and last 3 of...

OK, so the stats indicate that teenage pregnancy rates are down, but what does that have to do with whether girls now engage in other forms of sexual behaviour? Does it matter whether teenagers are now more informed about safe sex, or whether they're just foregoing the activity all together and...

I don't understand what you are getting at. Are you saying you'd rather your teenage daughter have an unwanted pregnancy than GULP! engage in oral sex? Are you aware that there are methods of birth control other than oral or anal sex available? Seems like YOU'RE the one who's twisting...

Let me try and refine this a little. Pearsonian peacekeeping, the "buffer between 2 sides" deal, could ONLY work if both sides were organized conventional armies who were more or less evenly matched, a la Suez or Cyprus, because in order to get everyone to agree to a ceasefire and whatnot both...

But he knows more about soldier-ing than me!  :D

Well, he/she is definitely the most unconvincing "lawyer" I've ever come across.  ::)

Hey 48th: and guess who's on the cover?

Oh my..... quite the firebrand..... :)

What they REALLY mean is that China has a large number of computers runing outdated, vulnerable  software (pirated software more often than not have backdoors guilt in) that makes them very easy for hackers to take over and use for spam and ddos attacks, and thus many of these can be traced back...
