American Mohist: February 2012
http://americanmohist.blogspot.com/2012_02_01_archive.html
Commenting on the Defense-Industrial Complex, policy advocacy, the Second Amendment, etc. Tuesday, February 7, 2012. USAF Politics and Lt Gen(P) Wolfenbarger. I saw this interesting story on Yahoo today, Obama Air Force Nomination Reeks of Politics. It talked about the careers of 3 different female USAF flag officers: Lt Gen(P) Wolfenbarger. And Lt Gen(ret) Gabreski. Wolfenbarger made the news because she will become. Masiello is a contracting officer. And Gabreski is a maintenance officer. Because the A...

American Mohist: Army, ADA, and AirSea Battle
http://americanmohist.blogspot.com/2011/11/army-ada-and-airsea-battle.html
Commenting on the Defense-Industrial Complex, policy advocacy, the Second Amendment, etc. Thursday, November 10, 2011. Army, ADA, and AirSea Battle. Galrahn has been discussing AirSea Battle. For quite awhile, specifically focusing on the absence of any Army contribution to the overall public discussion. It is quite sad that the Army has not publicly engaged on the AirSea discussion. Only this month has the AUSA come out with a rebuttal. To the Navy and Air Force's public discussions. The BMD mission has...

American Mohist: March 2011
http://americanmohist.blogspot.com/2011_03_01_archive.html
Commenting on the Defense-Industrial Complex, policy advocacy, the Second Amendment, etc. Thursday, March 31, 2011. Libya and Nation-State Paradigm. But the question remains un-resolved. If Benghazi did not declare independence, could the US provide overt assistance such as a publicized shipment of ammunition? Maybe this Libya adventure will provide the legislative impetus for Congress to start working this problem. Links to this post. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom).

American Mohist: Delilah, SEAD, and A2AD
http://americanmohist.blogspot.com/2012/03/delilah-sead-and-a2ad.html
Commenting on the Defense-Industrial Complex, policy advocacy, the Second Amendment, etc. Wednesday, March 7, 2012. Delilah, SEAD, and A2AD. Defense Industry Daily highlighted an engrossing IAF article on the history of the Delilah cruise/loitering missile. Delilah appears to be one of the first loitering missile, circling the sky looking for surface-to-air missiles. [The BAE ALARM is the other loitering anti-radiation missile, tho its capability and flexibility are more limited.]. And the American Air-S...

American Mohist: Math/Science Proficiency vs STEM Careers
http://americanmohist.blogspot.com/2012/03/mathscience-proficiency-vs-stem-careers.html
Commenting on the Defense-Industrial Complex, policy advocacy, the Second Amendment, etc. Wednesday, March 7, 2012. Math/Science Proficiency vs STEM Careers. Derek Lowe had an interesting corrective to the calls for more Science, Technical, Engineering, and Math (STEMs). I see where hes coming from. And it is very amusing to see non-technical graduates advocating for more STEMs, such as the vast majority of the political leadership on both parties. If it was so good, why couldnt you hack it?

American Mohist: November 2010
http://americanmohist.blogspot.com/2010_11_01_archive.html
Commenting on the Defense-Industrial Complex, policy advocacy, the Second Amendment, etc. Monday, November 29, 2010. Notes on Survivalist Site Defense. There was a thread on AR15.com, discussing the minimum manning requirement for a site defense. I think it is useful to readers who are not paying members, to archive part of this thread. It also merits further clarifications on the tactical considerations for defense planning in a semi-rural/suburban area. Http:/ www.ar15.com/forums/topic.html? The preper...

American Mohist: Economic Food for Thought
http://americanmohist.blogspot.com/2013/02/economic-food-for-thought.html
Commenting on the Defense-Industrial Complex, policy advocacy, the Second Amendment, etc. Sunday, February 24, 2013. Economic Food for Thought. Michael Pettis's brief review. Of American Development economic history and lessons for China's current developments. Lots of discomforting thoughts. Of course, also too general and not quantified enough for effective implementation, but then, so's much of political economics, I guess :D. Victor Davis Hanson's essay.

American Mohist: "Stories of Trench Defense?" Defense Primer
http://americanmohist.blogspot.com/2013/02/stories-of-trench-defense-defense-primer.html
Commenting on the Defense-Industrial Complex, policy advocacy, the Second Amendment, etc. Wednesday, February 13, 2013. Stories of Trench Defense? What other books or stories are out there like The Defense of Duffer's Drift. Stories that can help me to understand defending our home and farm. I've read the ranger's handbook, but it's really not about static defenses. I don't want to read about building huge sandbag fortifications. I just want to have some ideas to think through fluid situations. Therefore...
