Major Duncan Nails It
Without even knowing he did
I remember what seems a million years ago (or was it yesterday?) when I was but a mere pup of a Buck Sergeant, I was fortunate enough to read Major Gene Duncan's book;
Fact and Fiction from Dunk's Almanac Old-fashioned Observations For The Modern Military Leader.
But anyhow, I heard on the news this morning that part of The South-Side Stooge's alleged strategy in Afghanistan will be direct negotiations with the Taliban.
Even though it's literally been many years since I've read it, that immediately brought to mind Dunk's explanation as to why certain young and inexperienced leaders fail so miserably;
"He wanted to be liked." By the way, I've found out that Major Duncan's hilarious and insightful books can purchased here;

That would apply to a lot of the leaders of the Church to wouldn't it, they all want to be liked by their enemies.
I too favor direct negotiations with the Taliban! . . . at the end of a 5.56 mm projectile.
I would suggest 6.8mm SPC over .223 Remington, which is essentially a round for killing prairie dogs. It has much better knockdown power.
I am proud he called me "friend." Rest in peace, Major.
I didn't know he passed away. I know that after retirement, he converted to Catholicism.
May God bless his soul. I'll remember him in my Rosary tomorrow.
