If WWII taught us anything, it’s that mass enabled by production can carry the day. We lose that advantage if we all chose our own separate pet projects to be .1% more lethal.

Conversion to 6.8mm is a terrible idea.

My mom, aged 2 here, came here as a Hungarian refugee in 1956. None of them spoke English but they got to work running a candy shop and being a machinist making engines. Grandpa Eddie loved Reagan and the EU.

It’s a great story of service that exemplifies our country’s rich heritage of immigration and cultural integration.

Immigrants, overseas allies, and our partners all make the USA a big tribe, and a big tribe is a strong tribe.

My family came to the U.S. before the Immigration Act of 1924 banned Japanese and cut Eastern European immigrants.

Since then, our family fought for our country in WWII, Vietnam, Iraq, and Afghanistan.

We are the land of the free and the home of the brave because of those who became Americans.

It is worth remembering that these are people who loyally fought alongside us for 20 years while Miller was enduring the harrowing experience of writing press releases

We need more of this!

This Thanksgiving, I’m thankful for allied amphibious defense capabilities.

Need some of that counter-autonomy in real life!

Can’t wait for Littoral Commander: Australia! 🇦🇺

I’m thankful for your insightfulness and wisdom (and photos of your cats)!
