Milstack Saturday (1 March 2025)
In ‘Delaying Explosive Ordnance Disposal in Gaza’, Luke Herbert got me thinking about the lads with especially steady hands who risk their lives to clean up battlefields.
In his review of The Cutting Off WayAC, Ben Duval provides a handy summary of a theory that, among other things, explains many of the decisions made by leaders of the Wampanoag, Narragansett, and Pequot peoples during the first twenty years of the English colony at Plymouth.
In ‘Speakers at SOF conference tiptoe around Trump on Ukraine, allies’, Sean Naylor reminded me of the immortal words of John Fitzgerald Kennedy: ‘There’s always some S.O.B. who doesn’t get the word.’

I bought the cutting off way because I’m going to update it for us now. Our 🇺🇸 culture including military was formed by centuries of strife, trade, diplomacy and constant interaction with the indigenous tribes.

It is a disservice to us both and all to continue to peddle the various myths about what happened.
See historian Francis Jennings for the proper scholarship and truth in his various books, done to a level of archival detail that even @bruce could admire.
Down with Parkman, Rousseau and the modern hucksters as well, we have been lied to and robbed of our true history so we could stumble blindly in ignorance of our nature as Americans.
Apologies to all! This was not supposed to go out until Saturday, 1 March 2025.
