Austro-Hungarian medic on a pontoon bridge over the Piave river in June 1918
My research into the effects of malnutrition on combat effectiveness makes me think we need to re-evaluate the Second Battle of the Piave. By “we” I mean me, and the seven other people who are vaguely interested in the 2BP.

YouTube video by Bruce Springsteen
Bruce Springsteen - Streets Of Minneapolis (Official Audio)
I wrote this song on Saturday, recorded it yesterday and released it to you today in response to the state terror being visited on the city of Minneapolis. It’s dedicated to the people of Minneapolis, our innocent immigrant neighbors and in memory of Alex Pretti and Renee Good.
