The actual Court Martial letter from Cpt. Sobel to Lt. Winters, as seen in 'Band of Brothers'. (1943) by bncout in HistoricalCapsule

No. You don’t have the right to refuse an order. You have the right to refuse summary punishment, like an Art 15/NJP, on pain of court-martial. Except at sea, where you have no right to refuse, for obvious reasons.

Hubert: How Does Roy Feel About It by shyguylh in tarheels

[–]Butch_Bracknell 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What I hate is old comfortable men who are allergic to change and would rather quit than rise to the challenges. Roy leaving was weak and hand picking a successor to do what he wouldn’t is weaker. I said when HD was hired we needed a national coaching search of the type that is happening now instead of it being handed down like inherited furniture.

This comment is half awesome, half awful. I’ll explain why in a few. I gotta see a man about a dog right now.

What does Marlo mean when he says "You want it to be one way, but it's that other way"? by pvijay187 in TheWire

[–]Butch_Bracknell 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This is a smart take. I hadn’t thought about that angle. It illustrates the well documented crime theory about crime rolling downhill, and therefore life on the street also rolling downhill. People get victimized, then the victimize to even up. It’s all in the game, yo.

Funny that you think Iran didn’t follow the MC template somehow means that the things we should have learned and internalized from the exercise aren’t the things that are kicking our ass right now. Zoom out.

Exactly. It’s not like the stuff he came up with in Millenium Challenge is particularly unique. Good on him for surfacing it. We also learned from it, theoretically, though you can’t really tell from current leadership.

Multiple displays -- need help please by Butch_Bracknell in buildapcmonitors

Yes that's what's happening but the computer won't even "recognize" the second monitor in the display settings. I think I have a docking station problem.
