Schizophrenia is a psychosis characterized by personality and thought disorganization, and it affects an estimated 1 percent of all people. Schizophrenics occupy more mental hospital beds than patients with any other single diagnosis. Maybe I should entitle this weekly entry, “schizophrenia”? I mean, it does tend to be a little disorganized. But mental disease [...]  According to the Washington Post (and others), ” “A deal has been struck to make Iraqi’s, including former regime elements, responsible for the security situation inside Iraq’s most dangerous city. U.S. Marines began pulling back Friday from this violence-wracked city in preparation for handing over responsibility for pursuing insurgents to a new militia headed [...] I’ve got to work on some new titles Two weeks and a bit aboard an Amphibious Helicopter Assault Ship. An LHA, for short. Not a particularly attractive ship, I know. And coming from a carrier guy, that’s really saying something. Our exercise was an interesting experience, which I’ll share more of tomorrow, I [...] Off to sea again, couple of weeks. An Expeditionary Strike Group, this time.

He’s a farmer, classicist and military historian, who brings all those competencies to bear in a compelling way.As a classicist, he knows how Western liberal thought has come down to us, and the price we have paid [...] Where will this take us? At this point, we just don’t know… Fallujah . Wonder what’s going to happen there once the women, children and old men are allowed to leave? Wonder if the young men are wondering the same thing?
