the inclusion of the Syrian Civil War turns it from dubious accounting to outright lying. Syria was a tinderbox, and it was Assad, not the U.S., that provided the sparks (and the chemical weapons)

this also has a hugely negative impact on scientists and engineers; as a grad student I heavily relied on archival documents for foundational research and results. just one of many mind-bogglingly bad decisions by the DoD.

the odds of success were far higher in Desert Storm (especially considering the extensive air campaign). The question with Vicksburg was that of success at all; the question for Desert Storm is how long and how bloody it would have been

in conjunction with the Allied navies reducing the IJN to coast guard status, conquest of many key islands and territories by land forces, and the very real threat of ground invasion and widespread starvation from the blockade.

it's a movie that when ingested via youtube clips - Achilles fighting Boagrius, the action scene at and after the beach, Saving Private Ryan ripofff it may be, the Hector/Achilles duel, a few others - is entertaining but when actually watched beginning to end drags

I swear half the glassdoor reviews at shipbuilders are people complaining about parking. if you add an hour round trip to the commute just to get from your car to the office, that's going to have a very predictable effect on morale and retention.

betting against "home by Christmas" is almost always easy money. people never learn - or rather, consciously choose not to.

McPherson's "For Causes and Comrades" is an excellent book that succeeds in putting primary sources first but also in context. Highly recommend for the unaware as a follow on to his "Battle Hymn". Seeing into the mind of the common soldier and officer on both sides is an experience.

great read. it seems to me that a lot more ire ought to be directed towards the commanders ordering unescorted daylight raids; it's not even a fraction of what WWI generals tend to (arguably unfairly?) receive...
