  • That isn’t quite accurate. The US military is very good at killing people and destroying things. To win you need a strategy that goes beyond those things. It involves aspects outside the military. You need diplomats to coordinate and negotiate with allies, diplomats to meet and negotiate with the opposition in conflicts where that is feasible, a strategy that has end goals and a reasonable way to get to those goals, political entities to explain to the US citizenry and the world at large why the conflict is necessary, and a bunch more. The military doesn’t really do most of that, and the US hasn’t bothered with having any of those things for a long time. The problem is the US government keeps just saying to ‘conquer’ some country and giving no real sense of what that even means.





  • I love your weird knife reviews, and that looks like a phenomenal knife. I would never have guessed that was a first attempt unless you told me. I doubt I can justify getting another bushcraft knife, but I’m sure I’ll be sorely tempted whenever you make them available. It is even larger and heavier than what I already have haha.
