@AbottofThe @TXHockeyRef @infantrydort 100% agree. Thorough coverage of the events but highly readable and enjoyable.

@pnwguerrilla I EDC an OG Surefire E1. I spend a lot of time looking into dim corners and having a quick draw flashlight is handy. The 5 lumen low output is a life saver when you are in a small space. 110 lumens is not what you need in a server rack. But it is nice to have it available.

@PeteHegseth @BowTiedRanger Well said, sir. That's going on my whiteboard.

@EricLDaugh Shout out to the copy of Stephen Ambrose's "D-Day" for making it into the picture. Outstanding book.

[Nathan Peske @NathanPeske]

@GreeneElizabeth @jon_stokes Exactly this. Plus tools, flashlights, 1 qt Nalgene, etc. All of which would just slide around loosely in a brifecase.

@JesseKellyDC Italy would break the Allies backs, their bones, and nearly their spirits. But first it would break their hearts, and that heartbreak began north of the Volturno, where the terrain steepened, the weather worsened, and the enemy stiffened.

@JesseKellyDC Highly recommend "Battle of Midway" by Craig Symonds. I second the recommendations for "Last Stand of the Tin Can Sailors" and Ian Toll's Pacific War trilogy.

@SecDef
I am a former Army officer seeking to join the MN National Guard. I would be honored to serve again in the Red Bull Division. I am confident I can be a valuable addition to the unit but the recruiters will not work with me. I appreciate any assistance you can provide.

@ordinary_ali Right on the line between too far/not too far.

@ordinary_ali Twin Cities or outstate? There is a younger crowd at the church I go to in St Paul.

A million dollars in $100 bills weighs approximately 20 pounds.

Each bill weighs one gram. 10,000 bills = 10,000 grams = 10 kilograms = 22 pounds.

[Daily Roman Updates @UpdatingOnRome]

Flight attendant: Is there a doctor on board?

Dad: *nudging me* that should’ve been you

Me: not now Dad

Dad: not asking for someone obsessed with Roman history, are they?

Me: ...

Dad: go and see if knowledge of Roman battle tactics helps

@JackPosobiec Saw a YouTube video of paratroopers jumping with "Jump" as the music when I was at Airborne School. Couldn't stop laughing and it's been my favorite ever since.
