A quick mash-up of four posts…
First, following AM’s lead, Good Luck to Phil Carter who’s taking his NY bar exam this week.
Second, Henrik, the Draconian Observer, returns to the blog after much offline writing and gives us an interesting link to a CRS report Instances of Use of United States Armed Forces Abroad, 1798-2007.
Third, Mark, der Pundit mit Zen, shares a Lexington Green post noting a RUSI report that "has the air of a call to arms reminiscent of Kennan’s X Article or the Iron Curtain speech." I hope Kennan’s memo isn’t misinterpreted this time. (Speaking of "with Zen", interesting headline: "Do you want fries with that Zen?")
Fourth, Lurch of Main and Central has died. Lurch left his mark on this blog with his valuable observations, will be missed. There are no details at the family’s request.
