They print up these little cards. They say, er, "killing is our business and business is good." Well, here, burying is our business. Our business is better.

Love it or hate it, We had an entire recruiting campaign based on the term Warrior.

Appreciate it.

I concede that it’s used a lot more in public by elected and appointed leaders now.

The podcast I dropped gives a good history of the term, how it came into our doctrine and culture. Only about a 12 minute listen.

the Warrior stuff isn’t just GWOT and Bush.
It started with Shinseki when he was CSA in the late 90s, then under Clinton, Bush, Obama, Trump, Biden, and Trump again.

I’m just reading my timeline now.

Love your writing and work . But you’re patently wrong on this one.

There was a two month period where I was reading this out loud 3-4 times a day.

you’re telling me that normal Americans don’t dress up in suit and tie and yell insults at each other over topics they know little about all day?

Kissinger talks about it in his book “World Order”

Even the value menu?

What’s everyone reading now?

In the reserves, does his civilian profession matter?
Like of he’s a hedge fund manager or a public school teacher, does that information inform your decision?

I had the meaning of the term right. But, yeah, as a kid in the 80s and 90s, pre-Madonna made sense to me

I thought Prima Donna was Pre-Madonna.

Brooklyn blizzard.
