'Israel has an excellent air force and elite special-operations units, but its conventional line units—made up mostly of conscripts—are neither particularly well trained nor well disciplined by American standards.'
From Andrew Exum: Read the whole thing here:

The news out of Israel has been horrific, and heart-breaking, while this website seems to amplify the worst voices and opinions. But I wanted to pass this story along because I got to know Yair Golan a while back, and this is both inspiring and 100% consistent with his character.

This guy and his campaigns are already a line item in my family’s monthly budget. The two of us worked in adjoining cubicles for a year at Department of Defense 🇺🇸, have been friends for more than a decade, and y’all, it’s just really hard to think of a better human being.

Love to see East Tennesseans recognized for doing East Tennessee things. (The fact that he’s from le Château Nooga is even better.)

A deal formalizing already warming relations between Israel and the Gulf states would have been good, Andrew Exum argues. But a shotgun marriage between Israel and Saudi Arabia is not a win. theatlantic.com/international/…

Also extremely knowledgeable about wild quail habitat and training bird dogs. Would recommend saving all those questions for the Q&A, though.

Rest in peace to a giant of American literature whom we are proud to have called one of our own. It all starts somewhere and for Cormac McCarthy, it started here in Knoxville at the UT Knoxville

Here’s my postscript of ⁦Timothy Keller (1950-2023)⁩. He might have been the most effective communicator of historic Christian teachings in America. Hard to think of any pastor w/ a resume like his. I try to explain his legacy and the void he leaves behind. newyorker.com/news/postscrip…

Breaking my Twitter silence to say how happy I am that Colin Kahl was able to overcome both cancer and a lot of political nonsense to serve his country again. A great husband, father, friend, and public servant who annoys all the right people at home and abroad.

My wife and I were blessed to have had, too briefly, Chad Scruggs as one of our pastors in Dallas before he moved home to lead Covenant. We grieve with him and his family. Rights aside, the culture around guns in this country — including the worship of the black rifle — is sick.

This website was great, and I’m sad it’s ending.

It wasn’t enough for him to be more wealthy than any man who had ever lived. He needed to be seen as cool, too. But you can’t buy cool, or pay people to like you.

Infamous arms dealer nicknamed 'merchant of death' is apparently very on top of and invested in US culture wars, which must have been vicious inside the federal penitentiary in Marion, IL.
