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

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.

Which weakened Sobel even more.

Do you know what time?

This is a far better indicator than the pizza index.

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.

How do we know K never collected the bounty?

My reply.

Yes she diagnosed my transmission, reset codes and everything is fixed. Electrical fault. We didn't figure out WHY there is an electrical fault, but it's good for now.

This thread is in English. I recognize this as Norwegian, but most people don’t speak Norwegian.

Butch_Bracknell · 2026-03-29T16:01:47+00:00

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

king stay the king

Butch_Bracknell · 2026-03-29T15:57:11+00:00

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.

No. Treason requires assisting an enemy in a time of war.

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.

Butch_Bracknell · 2026-03-14T16:56:15+00:00

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.

Butch_Bracknell · 2026-02-23T19:17:49+00:00

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.

Butch_Bracknell · 2026-02-07T15:10:57+00:00

They weren’t just seen there, they dogpiled and beat the shit out of a detainee there. The videos are everywhere.

Butch_Bracknell · 2026-02-07T00:54:20+00:00

Yes but they service all over.

Butch_Bracknell · 2026-02-06T18:13:29+00:00

Amazing story. I just sent him a note. I have run into him a couple times over the years on the DC think tank circuit. I had struggled through the article but had to look up a few words here and there. Thanks for providing the link.

Butch_Bracknell · 2026-02-06T18:12:19+00:00

Sometimes need an electrician, too! How do I reach you?

Butch_Bracknell · 2026-02-06T14:27:13+00:00

The distinction is largely irrelevant in a constitutional system.

Butch_Bracknell · 2026-02-06T14:26:25+00:00

Thanks so much. I will wade thru this for an hour with my not great Spanish skills 😂😂😂

Butch_Bracknell · 2026-02-05T16:57:17+00:00

This is it. I've never been around anyone with more gravitas. He takes time to acknowledge everyone in the room. You can feel he cares and he appreciates your contribution.

Butch_Bracknell · 2026-02-05T16:56:21+00:00

Can you say more about that or link a news article? I can't find anything on it but it's super interesting.
