America's Victories: Why the U.S. Wins Wars . . . out today
self ^ | 5/18/06 | LS

Posted on 05/18/2006 10:09:31 AM PDT by LS

Folks, my new book, America's Victories: Why the U.S. Wins Wars and Will Win the War on Terror was released this morning from Sentinel. Pre-orders and book club orders indicate it's going to do pretty well, better than even A Patriot's History of the United States. I won't post a link---that's a no-no---but I will update you on a few appearances and media events:

Tues, May 23 I'll be on Fox and Friends, 6:45-7:00 a.m.

Mon, May 22, I'll be on "Mancow in the Morning," 8:10-8:30; and on Michael Medved's radio show in the 4:00-5:00 slot.

May 25, I'll be on WDRC-AM/Hartford, 7:20; WGTD-FM-Milwaukee, 11:00 both a.m.;

May 26, USA Radio Network 7:35 a.m., but it's taped and I don't know when it runs); SDEV-AM/FM-Burlington, 9:05 a.m.; and KYW-AM-Philly, 10:05 a.m.

Mon, May 29 "America's Victories" will be featured on "Special Report with Brit Hume." Don't know the exact time segment yet. Earlier that morning, I'll be on Wisconsin Public Radio, 9:00 a.m.

On July 6 I'll be in Wilmington talking to the John Locke Foundation, and on July 5, John Locke is apparently flying me to Camp Lejune to talk to the Marines.

If any of these venues fits you, tune in and if it is a call-in format, call in.

******************************************

This book outlines seven major characteristics of American fighting forces that have developed over time, including concerns for sanctity of life, the ability to learn from loss, the willingness to embrace technology, the practice of pushing autonomy downward, the nature of American armies as "citizen soldiers," the combined-arms characteristics of cooperation, and the ironic fact that anti-war protestors only serve to make the military stronger, more effective, and even more lethal!

I begin each chapter with a battle, and illustrate the changes within the military they heralded. Rush has a nice blurb on the back cover about my previous book.

That was a stupid comment! You are talking killing EVERY Muslim or we will never be free of terror? Absurd. We have NOT been at war with Islam until recently with this Wahhabi sect coming to power. And the Wahhabi sect learned their extremism from Nazi Germany, NOT Islam alone!

You are a nut and it's a shame that you malign the word "conservative" by having it in your screen name!

I've already had this argument about killing 1.6 billion people. You need to think this through.

Your reading skills are in desperate need of brushing up. I did not state,or imply,that all muslims should be killed.

Have a nice life,friend!

It's a stupid premise. Like saying you can never "win" World War II until every Japanese is killed.

BTW, did you post that deliberately to hijack the thread?

"anti-war protestors only serve to make the military stronger"

Poppycock. The Iranians are immune because of them. Go tell the innocent dead of southeast asia.

I dont even think it is a case of leaving the remainder in fear. It's just a case that the majority of islam is not interested in this little Jihad the radicals are throwing. We just need to target the radicals.

Is that to say that at some point,a muslim...or a group of muslims...will say "lay down your arms,my brothers" and the suicide bombers of the world will say "OK,cool...now I can go to the beach"?

Who will play Hirohito to the world's muslims and make such an announcement???????

And as for "hijacking" a thread...don't be silly.I state my opinions.Others are entitled to agree with,disagree with or ignore them.

I don't need to analyse arguments that 2 plus 2 is 5, either. Or that communism is a great social system. Or that treason is helpful. Or...

Some claims declare their bankrupcty on their face.

Not true.

We have shown an amazing amount of restraint in how we are dealing with this threat and it is not ALL Muslims.

We shall prevail.
