Hi, 22+ year Navy veteran and SWO (Surface Warfare Officer) here - once they even merely SAY a passage or strait is mined, the freakout factor skyrockets, because how do you prove that the other guy's just faking, and who's got assets on station to search and sweep?

I am older than everyone and I still want to own my music not because I'm old, but because otherwise it's like having a bunch of albums that someone can just remove from your house at any moment.

It's looking increasingly like these guys thought that if they could wreak more death and destruction than the other side then they would be respected as strong powerful men and they would "win" and that would make them big important heroes. Very possibly they had no rationale deeper than that.

CENTCOM: Hey Navy, send me some modern escort frigates capable of defending a convoy from Iranian stand-off weapons.

CNO: Sorry, best I can do is a 40-knot corvette with a helicopter and a deck gun. 🤷‍♂️

Effective immediately, I am the starting outside linebacker for the Bears. I am asking the clerk of the House of Representatives to have that reflected in the official roster. For administrative purposes, I will continue to serve as a Member of Congress and will not report to Bears training camp.

As an IR professor, it's depressing that this is outperforming all others as the best theory of US foreign policy

Let me tell you something. Y’all are asking too many damn questions at every point of sale. I have to leave a comment, make a suggestion, donate to a charity, choose a method of payment three times and then multiple choice of ways to get a receipt.

Take the damn money and leave me alone.

I always vote early. I pick a convenient day, & give myself time to review a sample ballot online first. Too many Election Day horror stories (esp. long lines) here in Texas for me to trust that day-of option. If there's bad weather or some kind of glitch during early voting, I still have ... 1/2

Mérida, #Spain felt like walking through a mini Rome. 🏛️

I followed a self-guided walking tour by an art historian and explored one of the best preserved Roman cities in Europe—and surprisingly under the radar.
