- This is the post I never wanted to have to make. Earlier today, news arrived that my position as a history professor for US Army CGSC has been eliminated in accordance with DOD cuts. There is no chance of reassignment, and the entire Fort Belvoir campus will be stood down.
- Replying to @WarHistoryProfI am devastated. As the sole provider for a family with two little ones, I am now confronting the most dire personal and professional challenge I could ever have imagined.
- Replying to @WarHistoryProfMy children have been insulated from the emerging chaos of our new world for the past several months. Not so any longer. I truly don’t know what the future holds.
- Replying to @AstorAaronI can’t speak to that, unfortunately. I only know about the satellite program, which graduates nearly as many Majors for the Army each year as Leavenworth does.
- Replying to @WarHistoryProf and @AstorAaronAnd just to clarify, by “stood down,” I mean eliminated.
- Replying to @MarkHertlingThank you for that, sir. Means a great deal coming from you.
- Those Spencer Rifles of Wilder’s brigade took out *lots* of Rebels, to boot.
- Truer words were never written.Marion County Herald, Palmyra, Missouri, January 31, 1923
- Replying to @tomricks1Thank you for that, sir. I loved every minute of the job and hope I left my small corner of PME better.

Name a good movie where the lead is a "washed-up" character who seeks redemption. I like "The Verdict."- Replying to @KSoltisAnderson and @DavidJUrbanThe plot of this episode: Michael votes Trump before work (was convinced by Todd Packer); realizes by midday he should have voted Harris and recruits Dwight to go recover the ballot.
- I’m not okay with this situation.

If you could visit one battlefield today, where would you go?
