Iโm going to be a grumpy old man here and point out that nobody called it โM81โ back then, and I donโt think it was ever official nomenclature. It was just โwoodlandโ or โBDU.โ

My novel THE FAMILY BUSINESS features a military grade, genetically-enhanced working dog named Shadow as a supporting character. He is a good boy who likes to hunt collaborators.
(He does not die in the book.)

@megievalist Remember a couple years ago when a handful of terminally online weirdos were trying to one-up each other with how much time and effort they put into reading Brothers Karamazov? Maybe we can bring that back.
The chief problem was trying to create a Western democracy in Afghanistan. Jim Gant outlined how it could have worked, but he was ignored.
The other issue here is people thinking fighting is "a mistake" when there is no other choice, just because it didn't go the way they hoped.
