@BruscinoTom Want to bet that in the next "Multi-Domain" conflict we will lament our inability to coordinate across the Joint Force and the Army will struggle to repeat combined arms maneuver?

[Michael Loftus @loftusmt]

@BruscinoTom Or Combined Arms... or Joint Operations.

@JayIreland1981 Recommend expanding to open source on most current events. Georgia/Russia (mid-1990s to 2008) and how they influenced the road to war in the NK area.

Problem with Democrats is they assume we live in world where nice guys will eventually win. Problem with Republicans is that they assume we live in a world where nice guys will eventually get stomped to death in a gutter. In some places we are all just Americans. Unite!

This is a great piece and highlights to me the importance of trusting students to be professional and invested in improving themselves FOR others. As an alum of CSP, it was the best year of my life. @War_Room_Eds @perezcelestino @BruscinoTom

@DollarCars is it normal to wait an hour for a car and just blame the garage crew? Were the reservations too obvious? Asking for a friend in #Minneapolis #rentalcars #traveling

@markmcclellan Not in the same category, but I had all types of admin planned for tomorrow. Could've used a 24 hr heads up... ya know.

@K_eli_T She is a true believer. #dawnpowerwash

[Michael Loftus @loftusmt]

@perezcelestino is this just a signaling problem?

@Jacqueline_lrd @K_eli_T No discussion necessary. The cowboys will seek retribution.

[Michael Loftus @loftusmt]

Take some time to read and reflect.
