Pale Riders

Award-winning filmmaker Alex Quade stops by for the oddest Q&A we've ever done. We watch her documentary and yap about it! Some of our bravest Special Operators, a monument about their war in Afghanistan and the future of the public memorial today in LoD.

Operation Corporate

Three decades later, the Falklands War revisited. Why today's newspapers have failed to add context to the crisis and what might be the moral of the story. That and penguin poop-spackled rocks today in LoD.

NSC on the record!

Deputy National Security Adviser Denis McDonough hosts a gaggle of milbloggers at the White House. I'm the one dressed like Eisenhower. Ike, not Mamie.

Carl is on the way to DC! So not much blogging today, unless there is. We'll see!

It must be Fleet Week at Line of Departure. Come watch the submarine races! Thomas B. Klakring recalled today. Freedom through vigilance, gentle readers. Freedom through vigilance.

Army, Navy and Air Force put football before honor. DoD, rescind the policy that allows jocks to exit their service commitments early. Do this on behalf of the millions of troops who won't get the chance to leave active duty to play a game.

The Snake Eaters

Carl Prine — Thu, 03 May 2012 20:52:38 +0000

Carl Prine is "strange by any measure." Owen West calls me out! Well, disregard it. The Snake Eaters is a brilliant study in combat heroism by Marine and Army advisors and the bravest of jundis in the gut of Iraq. It's a helluva book and Owen is here for one helluva interview.

The Osama bin Laden We Knew

Our man in Pakistan, Ali Chishti, returns to talk about the legacy of Osama bin Laden and what the ongoing war in Afghanistan means to al-Qaeda recruitment. Is OEF helping our terrorist enemies? Or hurting them?
