Stop Losing Your VA Claim: A Combat Medic’s No-Excuses Guide to Getting the Rating You Actually Earn

by

I FAILED MY OWN CLAIM. MORE THAN ONCE.

Let me start with a confession, because somebody needs to say it out loud.

I am a medically retired Army combat medic. Twenty-three years. Iraq. I spent my career documenting injuries on OTHER soldiers — SF 600s, sick call notes, MEDEVAC paperwork. If anyone on this planet should have walked into the VA claims process and crushed it on the first try, it was me.

I did not.

5th Generation War, 1462: Vlad the Impaler Understood the Human Domain

by

History remembers Vlad the Impaler as a blood-soaked medieval psychopath. But what happens if we assume Vlad was a rational actor? Suddenly the stakes, the terror, and the infamous Forest of the Impaled start looking less like random savagery and more like calculated deterrence. Vlad couldn’t outspend or outfight the Ottoman Empire, so he weaponized the one battlefield where a small power could compete with a giant: the human mind. Five hundred years before “fifth-generation warfare” became fashionable, Dracula was already playing game theory—with sharpened stakes.

Trump hosts Xi. DC implodes

by

Mosher wrote, “China’s initiative to replace the dollar as the world’s reserve currency is failing. Xi himself was basically sidelined at this month’s BRICS summit in India; he skipped the obligatory banquet and left a day early. Media apologists claimed he was tired, but it’s more likely that he was just tired of being ignored.

“Now, just two weeks later, the American president’s impressive show of hospitality—giving him face, as it’s known in Chinese culture—not only massages Xi’s ego, it also provides useful propaganda fodder for his captive audience back in China.

“And it costs America nothing.

5th Generation War, Part 1: Don’t Capture the Capitol—Just Convince Half of the People it’s Corrupt and Illegitimate

by

You don’t have to invade a nation to defeat it. You may only have to convince its citizens that their elections are rigged, their courts are corrupt, their institutions are illegitimate, and their neighbors are the enemy. As early as 2012, the U.S. military was wrestling with the Human Dimension and emerging ideas about the Human Domain—the recognition that wars ultimately turn on human behavior and human will. Add smartphones, algorithms, information warfare, color-revolution dynamics, and fifth-generation warfare, and the battlefield starts looking considerably different. The Capitol can still be standing, the flag can still be flying, and elections can still happen right on schedule. But if nobody believes any of it anymore, an enemy may never have to conquer us. We may eventually do the job ourselves.

Pride And Promises: God Owns The Rainbow

by

My bride, aka “The Indigo Girl,” recently ran for mayor of our small town of Helena, Montana, and her logo was a rainbow-colored umbrella. She had a lot of reasons why she chose this, but the primary one was to use God’s providential symbol, and in the process, educate people on its true meaning and purpose. The colors themselves are important, but the number of colors in a real rainbow is important too.

God’s rainbow is a symbol of both God’s justice and mercy —proof that He is a perfect judge, but that He also will not flood the earth in judgment again.
