I mean I'm a lone consumer, but I'd buy "Everything is Actually the Thirty Years War"

Whenever you come up with a political theory that requires Trump to have even low cunning, remember that when the WWE launched their ill-fated "Who killed Vince McMahon?" plotline, Trump called the WWE in a panic, fully convinced that he had just seen his friend be assassinated on live TV.

Words of wisdom from Ukraine’s former foreign minister.

grandpa just says things, and also people around grandpa just says things

which isn't to say they won't do the things they say, quite the opposite, but also it's ultimately just saying things

No.

If we don't send the DoDEA High School Principal/Charley's Cheesesteaks grill guy at the Omaha BX food court/Fort Myer horse veteranarian to the gulag, we have let the evil Escape Justice.

I am very smart.

But for anyone with kids? You're either getting stuck with a bill for private school, or hoping your kids don't get set back.

100%. A lot of the stuff for younger folks that's bad isn't great, but it can be offset somewhat by "own a house at 25" and treating this as an entry .gov civ job. That's part of why it drives me nuts we don't try to recruit people like that.

We're three hours from Atlanta I guess that's kinda something

Food is one of the only categories I don't think we're short on. We've got a decent Art Museum, a good Zoo, and the Biscuits are fun to watch if you like baseball.

But if you're a young person: this seems like a miserable place to be single.

If you've got a family: Alabama schools. Oof.

And it's all the more missed opportunity! Younger people are the kinds of people that could be swayed by cheap cost of living, who don't have an attachment to DC or whatever major mil base they're at.

Much harder sell on older folks with families and roots.

I think it's a mix of ducks choosing ducks, unfamiliarity with USAJobs (Hint: anything you apply for, rate yourself as max qualified or you won't get through automated screening), and the way the job requirements are written.

In my case, it's also location. Maxwell AFB is a hard sell.

There's sharp 20 something BAH contractors who live, eat, breathe, and sleep military affairs, and they basically can do nothing but continue their current consulting gig, or switch careers.

I struggle in my office to recruit anyone who isn't a 20 year retired mil person.

If you're not a post-squadron command Lt Col, you're starting from a huge disadvantage.

It's like this in a mil office that I think is pretty decently competent. I shudder thinking about the equivalent in Congress.

"The Iraq War was a horrible mistake and Donald Trump was right to oppose it and forever wars are bad but also nothing came out of it and there was no reason to oppose it."

Did I capture the vibe?

Admittedly, there's a great film concept out there to be made that will begin with "Oceans are now soccer fields."

This is the same guy who was quoting Napoleon earlier, and I gotta tell ya, I won't be at all surprised when three days from now bro is posting "military dictatorship isn't so bad, actually!"

At least that'd be faithful to the legacy of the French Revolution.

That other bad things exist and therefore it doesn't matter?

Dang, blurry vision AND insomnia? You know, at Vietnam Draft boards, they called that combo "The Deadly 2." Over ten million young men were exempted from war for it!

The U.S. Army abruptly canceled a major training exercise for the 82nd Airborne Division’s headquarters element, fueling speculation within the Pentagon that the unit’s rapid-response force could be deployed to the Middle East, potentially including ground operations.-WaPo
