As a military theorist, I’m often saddened by the brutality in this world. That’s why every March 28, I say a little prayer and reflect on how much we can learn from our sea cow brethren. We must learn from the manatee to remember our humanity. #ManateeAppreciationDay #2018CUAB

It's #ManateeAppreciationDay! Did you know manatees are natural lawn mowers that help maintain healthy marine ecosystems by keeping aquatic vegetation in check? Sometimes referred to as “sea cows,” they are actually more closely related to elephants. #Respect the manatee!

@LeoSzil @Groves_theGreat You envisioned a military weapon to be used against the Third Reich, did you not? You seem a man of action. Lies do not become you and nor does historical revisionism. #2018CUAB #ToThineOwnSelfBeTrue

@LeoSzil @Groves_theGreat For a brilliant scientist, are you really that politically naive? You wrote that letter and you knew it had the potential to create this certain chain reaction. What pray tell did you think would happen if your efforts were successful? #OnWar #2018CUAB #ActionsHaveConsequences

@ByrnningUPPP Hey I’m all for a strong monarch . . . I just didn’t know you Americans were as well. #TheMoreYouKnow #2018CUAB #KingRoosevelt

@WernerHeis Sorry to press, but why can’t Germany produce their version of the bomb? What’s holding them back? #2018CUAB

@FrankDRoos @ByrnningUPPP How’d that whole court-packing thing work out for ya? #2018CUAB #ExecutiveLimits

@FrankDRoos @JoeRotblat @KlausFuchs_ Call it what ya like, Frankie D. Yet between the Non-Aggression Pact, carving up Poland like a delicious kielbasa, and - oh yeah - purging a ton of his own people, I just don’t know what to make of Stalin . . . that Georgian is no peach. Be weary. #RealTalk #Politiks #2018CUAB

@JoeRotblat @KlausFuchs_ Also, keep in mind the Soviets were previously allied with Hitler in this conflict and it was only a few decades ago that they sought peace with Germany in the Great War. The USSR is fighting hard now, but the course of this war is uncertain. #KnowYourHistory #2018CUAB.

@HenryStim But if you compromise on your values, what exactly are you fighting for? Stay strong, Stimmy! #2018CUAB #WhyWeFight #BuildBridgesNotBarriers #PrussianHippy #SJW #OnWar #OnPeace #TooManyHashtags #RamblingABitNow

@Cu132Gen This almost sounds like the setup of a joke. Did any hilarity ensue? #2018CUAB #WaitingForThePunchline

@atomic_line Battle of Hastings? Battle of Saratoga? Battle of the Somme?

[CVClausewitz's Ghost @ClausewitzGhost]

@PaulTibbets13 That is a truly great query and I’m not even sure what the answer is. Perhaps we shall revisit this over the course of this semester, er, war. Are 20th C weapons simply the next phase of warfare or do they profoundly change the world as we know it? #2018CUAB #BigPictureQuestions

@PaulTibbets13 Oh, so you know of my work? Consider me quite geschmeichelt. However, with all due respect son, you're out of your element. You won't find anything in Vom Kriege that talks of aeroplanes or heavy bombardment. I suppose the principles still apply, but I am just not sure #2018CUAB
