    When Pop History Bombs: A Response to Malcolm Gladwell’s Love Letter to American Air Power

    Thank you for this suggestion. McNamara was a very intelligent man, but his application of industrial engineering processes to the arena of warfare was an unmitigated disaster. Perhaps his worst decision based on his selected statistics were the men with very low IQ’s who were nonetheless...

    When Pop History Bombs: A Response to Malcolm Gladwell’s Love Letter to American Air Power

    My uncle flew Corsairs in WWII with the USMC’s VMF-111 from the tiny atoll of Enjibi & Eniwetok, and principally bombed the island of Pohnpei (spelled Ponape during WWII) that was 350 miles away over water with no waypoints en route.

    Montreal police ticket veteran bagpiper for carrying traditional knife

    This would be laughable if it weren’t for the serious consequences for the outcome. If this can be heard in court, I would advise the actions: 1. Spread the word to every Scottish group in the area and any from kilted regiments, and ask them to attend on the court date. Prior to the court...

    Montreal police ticket veteran bagpiper for carrying traditional knife

    What is particularly sad about this is that Scotsman began sgian dubh’s after the carrying of their claymores (the broadswords that the explosive devices were named after) was outlawed by the English, much as the carrying of shillelaghs became popular in Ireland after a similar ban. It’s also...
