@Joe apparently the Marines weren't in the European theater according to Dad, so I am changing that good sir. Good call on the story.
@Boone, I think every writer should have a mug shot photo. I would really like to see Jessica's, you're totally right about it. hahaha
If you two like that band you should check out "This Will Destroy You" they're a prog band that I like to write to, no words, all crescendo. It's so easy to lose yourself in it.

At the time before air support it worked quite well. When we had lines of division. Now the world is a free open place where nothing is too far. The stategy was to extend the enemies supply lines to the point where they couldn't keep up. Now that doesn't matter. Scorched Earth is a tactic that is outdated in the modern world.

Funny story, Stalin started out as a novelist.
are you talking about this one?
Scorched Earth works great in Russia, I mean, you burn the farms and good luck foraging in Russia through the Winter, force the enemy to build proper supply lines, except now they are pretty much in Asia, and worse, north Asia, so they have all this ground to cover and it's cold and inhospitable as hell.
I promise not to send any of you to the Gulag.
I let a lot of things slide, I try to be chill, I used to have a background on my cellphone and all it said was "Keep your cool," and it was actually REALLY effective because I'd just look at it and think, "keep your cool." But I don't have it now, my new phone won't let me just "type a background" so I don't have that reminder anymore.
In any event, when I do lose my cool, when I finally get pushed over that edge, I tend to go all scorched earth and I want to let you know that it isn't a very good policy in interpersonal relations.
Makes me think of Dave Mustaine, because of this time he told me, "If you took your own direction, if only you practiced what you preach, if you took your own advice, you wouldn't be burning bridges all the time."
@Nick, oh, you mean you don't like an abstract palette made in the form of soap cans?
I think that Andy Warhol is the "Wierd Al Yankovich" of art. The Soup Cans suck, don't get me wrong, but the "faces in different colors" is the one that really makes me roll my eyes.
I mean, it's all this kitchy "faux-realism" BS that always makes me think "Is he just making fun of Rockwell?", at least Pollock actually made pictures with unique visual appeal. At least he wasn't afraid to embrace the abstract.
