Sacred feces, Matthew, I mean holy s**t, that was some broadside! Unfortunately for you, your broadside missed.

It is now 0230 hours as I begin to type this and I am this week undergoing a severe of attack of day-to-day real life (seemingly endless medical appointments for intractable health problems, spending hours on the phone supporting a friend who is going through a personal tragedy, worrying about how I am going keep my horse fed and fit as the weather deteriorates here in Montana, etc.).

I now have the time now to rely to Stephen’s latest post on warrior ethos and military professional ethos. What follows is highly critical appraisal of the post, and an occasionally somewhat facetious tone.

This post is basically a repetition of what Stephen has posted before. Only the characters have changed and the description more colorful. Now the mighty blood thirsty Achilles replaces Audie Murphy in a move from the real to mythic.
