<description><![CDATA[Veterans have numerous skills, training, and abilities to offer their civilian employers. Military personnel learn to work under strict policies and accomplish their tasks in conditions that are often less than favorable.

<description><![CDATA[International political crisis often becomes a precursor to war, that is to say that war is often nothing more than an extension of political impasse. It's too bad when humans go and fight wars that so many people have to die just so one side can get their political will over on the other.

The US has been accused in the mass global media of going to war in the name of Democracy, but has been charged by its adversaries as having global and imperialistic reach and objectives.]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[With American troops from Iraq either home or on the way back to the States, one can imagine the joyous reunions planned between our soldiers and sailors and their families. If anybody can agree on one thing regarding these homecomings, it's that the lives of everybody involved will never be the same again. For families, there is the reassurance that their loved ones have survived some rather grueling experiences, while those enlisted and officers may need time to recover not only from physical wounds, but emotional scars as well. For those in the Navy, there are programs available to help military personnel transition better into life stateside.]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[In studying terrorism at our Think Tank, I usually compare it to anything that is involved in usurping, attacking, or disrupting any system of complexity or status quo. This is why I always relate it to bad bacteria, viruses, business start-ups, or political forces attacking the biosystem, industry incumbents, or powers that be in human society and civilization. Not long ago, I was discussing terrorism and guerrilla warfare with a war college student that mentioned to me a few things as which they believed were common in all cases, to which I of course played devil's advocate - definitely the...]]></description>

Perhaps a good way not to win friends or influence people is to challenge maritime shipping lanes. Indeed, it hasn't been very good for the Somalia Pirates, and it probably won't be very good for Iran if they try to choke off the Straits of Hormuz where about 15 million barrels a day travel to reach the Arabian sea and from there ship off to their intended destinations.]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[Aerospace equipment is technically complex to repair because of its complex electronic systems. The troubleshooting and repair challenges pose a huge challenge for service technicians. Repairs are time consuming and very costly. However, when repairs aren't done correctly, there is a huge loss in customer loyalty and the cost increases for owners.]]></description>

<title>Chinese, Russian, Iranian, or Venezuelan War Games - All Show, Unrealistic and No Reality</title>

<description><![CDATA[There is a big difference between hosting military war games, and just putting on a show. Putting on actual battle practice games and exercises that actually mean something would include the ordination of forces, acquisition of targets, leadership training, procedures of command and control, and military action, execution, and decision-making under fire. Proper war games should also include the firing of live weapons, and hitting real targets.]]></description>

<title>What If Hitler and Stalin Did Unite and Divide Up Europe?</title>

<description><![CDATA[You may not realize this, but at one time Russia and Germany wanted to divide up Europe and control the entire continent. That's right - Hitler and Stalin were going to get together and create a treaty dividing up the area and then take over all of other countries. Can you imagine what the world would look like today if half of Europe was fascist socialism, and the other half was hard-core communism?]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[Not long ago, I was discussing some issues about air superiority during the Second World War in Europe. Not only did NAZI Germany have superior naval vessels (Bismarck), and U-Boats (submarines), they also had a superior Air Force. The Luftwaffe had incredibly skilled pilots and the best airplanes in the world up to that date.]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[It is amazing isn't it, we tried to make friends with the Russians, help them get back on their feet economically, and even help them get into the WTO. Likewise, Europe has embraced them and opened their markets to Russian businesses, and trade seems to be going well. So what is Russia doing with his newfound wealth and economic uptick after all these years - they are building more war toys to challenge the West of course?]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[It seems that every year more and more Americans forget about the war in the Pacific, about Pearl Harbor, and about how the United States of America and Japan were once at war, even though now we are staunch allies, and favored trading partners. Still, it's important that we remember our history, and equally important that we understand, and learn the lessons of the past, in case we have to fight future wars in the Pacific. Not long ago, I was discussing with a college student about their upcoming assignment in a week or two, they had to read...]]></description>

<title>How Come the Russians and Allied Forces in WWII Didn't See the Ardennes Offensive Coming?</title>

<description><![CDATA[It seems as if the German Ardennes Offensive (Ardennes-Alsace campaign) or Battle of the Bulge for the general public and you movie fans out there, was somewhat of a surprise to the Russians, and even the allies hadn't considered that move, of course, a few did, as the Germans were lining up their assets for something, spotty reports, some coded messages, but it wasn't believable. But it surely it wasn't there health, and it's too bad the weather was preventing aircraft overhead to take a look and see.

<description><![CDATA[The other day, I was discussing the "lessons learned in WWII" and how this might help war planners in the future. My acquaintance presented an interesting question to me, namely; "How come Germany couldn't repeat the quick victory they had over France, against the Russians, and Allied Forces in the big battles later in the war? Were the French and their military high-command incompetent?]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[Okay so, in hindsight the question has been asked and the answer demanded; why was Germany so successful at the beginning of the war and unable to carry through as the war progressed? What happened? They marched into France with little resistance, took over Poland as if the Mayor to a city handed them the keys, and then they just ran into one problem after another didn't they?]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[Military Historians love to talk about the Germans "Blitz" into France, and how it was an unbelievably decisive battle, and yet, I believe that such an assessment misses a key point. It wasn't that easy over all. You see, just because the Germans marched into France zipping around the artillery line, doesn't mean the fight was over.]]></description>

<title>Critique of Giulio Douhet's &quot;Command of the Air&quot; Considered</title>

<description><![CDATA[Guilio Douchet was an artillery commander and General in the Italian Army back in the 1920s, before that he'd started keeping a diary and thoughts on what he'd learned in the military. In 1909 and 1910 he published his book on war strategy, re-wrote parts of it, and a new version was put forth in 1929. He is often considered one of the originators of the theory on air-superiority.]]></description>

<title>The Concept of an Air Force As a Separate Branch of a Nation's Military</title>

<description><![CDATA[If you know anything about the history of aviation, you probably realize that the Air Force used to be called the Army Air Corp, and it was not its own separate branch of service. Today of course we have the United States Air Force, and it is huge with bases around the world. So, where did this concept of having a separate branch just for an Air Force in a nation's military come from anyway you ask?]]></description>

They realize that their days are numbered, and some of these aerial drones are armed with hellfire missiles, which basically means; they can be taken out at any time. The good guys probably think it is wonderful to have this awesome tool of the trade to keep peace in the world.]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[There was once a very interesting statement made by a now popular military historian and thinker. He served as a general in the Italian army in the 1920s and his name was Giulio Douhet. He made a statement that any new advancement in guns, and specifically he was talking soldier carried small arms gives the advantage to the army that is defending and not the one aggressing.]]></description>

Yes, that's a scary thought indeed.

<description><![CDATA[The famous work by Sun Tzu comes in two parts, but many have suggested the need for an upgrade, in fact, I'd be one of them. You see, war has changed and although the philosophy appears to be sound in the Art of War, by Sun Tzu - and whereas, it can transcend many modern day weapon technologies and strategies, just as Karl von Clausewitz's On War - still, it's time for a serious upgrade. Okay so let's discuss this shall we?]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[Giulio Douhet wrote the book "Command of the Air" - it was a compilation of his observations and thoughts in the early twentieth century on the use of airplanes, something new to the battlefield of his day. In his work he comments on Sun Tzu's "Art of War" and suggests that the airplane changes the battlefield in such a way that it requires a Part III to Sun Tzu's work written 1000s of years before.

<description><![CDATA[The NAZIs made many mistakes in WWII, and just as Churchill was right to say that WW II was an unnecessary war, I believe the NAZIs shouldn't have made so many mistakes causing them to lose it. Oh of course, I am glad they did, and happy to say my great nation and grandfathers of the greatest generation were the ones to win it, but as a hobbyist of military history, I'd say that major mistakes were made by the Third Reich For instance, I'd say it was a fatal error for Hitler and his top confidants to call...]]></description>

<title>Was It a Fatal Error of Germany to Blanket Bomb London Rather Than Surgical Strikes?</title>

<description><![CDATA[Not long ago, I was talking to an acquaintance about Douhet's military theory written back in 1929. In his now famous work "The Command of the Air" the author had recommended blanket type bombing of civilian populations, and in his book he even went into detail about the size of the bombs, distances where they hit, and how to guarantee complete destruction. Trust me, it's scary stuff, almost as mind numbing as reading; The Theory and Practice of Hell, as Douhet puts forth mathematical notations on how to bomb in this way.]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[Obviously, it takes a lot to fight a war, and wasn't it General Patton who said; "An army moves on its stomach" and to assist in helping with food costs and supplies he simply moved his army twice as far in half the time, meaning they didn't need to eat as much. I bet Rommel in North Africa might have stated; "An Army moves on fuel," especially as he ran out of it, and got stuck in the sand. In any case, perhaps this is why disrupting the enemy's supply lines in times of war is a favored tactic...]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[Achieving air superiority in the battlespace is paramount in modern warfare, and any military that loses air-superiority will soon lose far too many assets to continue the fight. That goes for offense and defense. Some would say and have said that if you can't beat the enemy's aircraft in the air, then beat them on the ground, and pre-empt their airbases, aerial munitions supply lines, and aircraft manufacturing facilities.]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[Obviously, it makes sense for our US Military Branches to work together to win wars, and a little bit of "friendly competition" between branches probably is a good idea too. We can certainly get into trouble with catastrophic friendly fire incidents if there is a breakdown of communication in the very busy net-centric battlespace. Okay so, let's talk about why our military in the US is set up the way it is and why.]]></description>
