Today is another piece in the series on why boot camp needs to be so intense. The Arts of War. Today's article gives a brief on some of the actual combat skills recruits will one day need, as well as clearing up some misconceptions about them. Hope you all enjoy. Like and comment on what you think.

So it looks like Patreon has reworked some things to make it easier for me to share my old answers on Quora directly with you here. If you haven't read the review... do it and make sure that everyone in the world knows what I think about this movie. Cheers!

So school has started back up and that means I have less time to write. Sorry. Hopefully I can get back in the groove soon. In the mean time. Here is one of my favorite parts of the series that I was looking forward to putting out, an explanations of one of boot camp experience, explaining why yelling is so crucial to it. 

Hope you all enjoy. Thanks.

I've been published in Newsweek again!

There was a quite a kerfuffle put out a few days ago when a writer for the Washington Spectator cried out in a really weird rant that, along with other flags you've probably heard about lately, the POW/MIA flag is also a symbol of racism that needs to be removed.

That's pretty dumb, but I was privileged that a friend and one of the editors at Newsweek called me to give a response over what the real meaning to flag is as it waves today. Thanks everyone and I hope you enjoy.

So these dudes walking around half naked are the most important story you'll read this year. I know that was way more vague and elusive than I like to be with my patrons, but this is one of those stories that is so big that I want all my patrons to be curious enough to check this one out. As always, thanks patrons for being a crucial part of doing something important.
