Great discussion on one of the greatest Americans who ever lived, Audie Murphy, with @bog_beef, @Maarblek and @Skin_Musket. Check it out.
I had a hell of a time talking about one of my favorite movies, Ride With The Devil (1999), on @GoodOlBoysPod with @bog_beef, @Maarblek and @LordCroft1918. Check it out! teapawt.org/GoodOlBoysPod/status/2…
ALT "Ride with the Devil" (1999), directed by Ang Lee, is a drama about the American War for Southern Independence following a young Missouri man (Tobey Maguire) who joins a band of Confederate guerrilla fighters (Bushwhackers) battling Union sympathizers along the Kansas-Missouri border. Adapted from Daniel Woodrell's novel "Woe to Live On," the film explores loyalty, identity, and the moral chaos of a brutal, lesser-known westerrn theater of the war rather than its famous battlefields. Good Ol Boyz Podcast discusses the film.
Additions to GOB Canon: it sounded like Claudius said that I, Claudius should be on the list, and @Maarblek said Good-bye To All That.
Plus, the Rex Warner translation of Confessions and a blast from the past with the key text from Hans Georg Moeller on profilicity.
Per @LordCroft1918 and others, should Jünger’s Storm of Steel be on the list? @bog_beef
The patronage + gamer nexus of the commentary means this demands to be addressed by @Maarblek, @bog_beef and @NotJeff_

Here’s a thread of anecdotes about women in the military. A peek at the actual dynamics behind the “go girl” propaganda. Enjoy.
1. It’s common for Generals to cultivate harems of female staff. Often one becomes “court mistress” and blocks out other staff she doesn’t like.

Watched ‘Zulu’ (1964) yesterday. It depicts the 1879 Battle of Rorke’s Drift, in which ~150 British soldiers held off 4,000 Zulu warriors over 12 hours in the colony of Natal (present day South Africa).
Here are some of my favorite images (plus some lore) from the film:
