Between the United States and Russia, victory in Ukraine will go to the least incompetent. As to if that is more depressing and disconcerting, take your pick.

If Vietnam and Afghanistan showed us anything, it's that the military industrial complex won't allow us to finish any wars they can make money from.

It's painful to say that in front of Vietnam and Afghanistan Veterans, but you tell me what happened if not that.

One of the great television series scores of all time. The orchestrations by Bennett make Rodgers even better than better.

Actually, in the historical film the music was titled “Beneath the Southern Cross” chronicling the war effort in the South Atlantic. That’s right, the South Atlantic, not the South Pacific.

Richard Roger’s later incorporated the melody into a Broadway play and added the lyrics to make it “ No other love have I”

Many are not aware of the combat in the South Atlantic. The movie “The Enemy Below” takes place there.

“I remember a time when the object of War was to achieve Victory.”

Then revenge.
