In Today's Pentagon, It's All About The Medals

WNU Editor: Quoting Richard Hanania .... Nice demonstration of credential inflation and stagnation. We have less competence, but more awards than ever.

The Sukhomlinov Effect, coined by Roger Beaumont at Texas A&M. It says in effect that in a conflict between two armed forces, the guys with the more elaborate uniforms will lose.

Nice comment nicolas.

The Taliban are the Commanche of our time except they are 8,000 miles from our border. The culture that finally beat the Commanche were raised on the bible, Greek philosophers and attitude towards science, The saints like Augustine or Aquinas and the many European philosophers such as John Stewart Mills. Now, look at the education these modern so called leaders get. Instead of kneeling before Jesus they kneel before compliance to wokeism. They will look you straight in the face and say a human born a man can bear a child. Or that America is a horribly white supremist culture, yet none of them go to the border and warn or try to stop all the non whites from flooding in for a better life.

Do the research on how we finally beat the Commanche and you know how to beat the Taliban. Go see how America's Longest war, 40 years, ended. I'll give you a hint. The Commanche came dragging their asses to the America Military telling them they were done, please put us on a reservation.

Anyways, Ron

PS: There was never a necessity to defeat the Taliban. We have all been played.....again

This is not quite true. Time itself stopped the Comanche. The Rangers were a part of that, then time got the Rangers ( at least what's traditionally considered the Rangers).

First, you do not know a lot about depictions of Jesus and how it evolved by century and by region. If depictions of Jesus did not look European in the middle ages, there would be something wrong. Jesus pretty much looks like the people of the culture that depict him.
In Africa Jesus s depicted by Africans as black. Shocker! NOT! What you are is a SJW and stupid one to boot.

Ron is right BTW. It was not the Texas Rangers. Although the Range3rs had some dust ups with the Comanches and gave as good as they got, it was the US Army that ran the Comanche and Apache to ground. they used apache scouts and relentless pursuit and that is all it took.


In this century mercenaries hired by the Nigerian government used relentless pursuit and were soon running Boko Haram to ground. Then Obama stepped in, threatened the Nigerian government, and the mercenaries were fired. Boko Haram recovered. Obama did everything he could for Boko Haram except come out for them at the SOTU.

To pink jesus guy.

FYI, I am not a Christian. I am more closely aligned with the philosophy of the stoics. But having searched through most world religions and philosophies, for my own purposes, I understand that Jesus' first century message was clearly esoteric. He couldn't give two shits about the world and its affairs and everybody's little dirt kingdoms. But for the Christians in the roman empire, in order to be taken seriously they had to marry the early Christian traditions with the dominant Roman culture of stoicism. Most of the early European science was done by religious figures trying to find a scientific explanation for the supernatural, i.e. God. The Christian belief's and traditions played a large role in the dynamic explosion of western culture above other cutlures, especially in America. That is all I am saying when I make the reference "kneel before Jesus."


Anyways, Ron

PS: If you want to live in a community where you do not have to lock your doors, find a place where the church steeples are more plentiful than trees.
