Looks like this is one of those periodic maintenance issues, like women or gays in the military or bringing back the battleships or diesel submarines and so forth.
Back when Phibian did his thing in early February I responded with a long discussion here, with appearances by Major John and Consul-at-Arms and Chaotic Synaptic. Being me and not Noonan, however, instead of a big ol' Weekly Standard article I got eleven blog hits. (That is of course the sole reason I am not crowing "Navy was there first as usual"--no Big Media presence. Or paycheck.) I still think the post is salient, though, with this theme weaved in there:
Once I sat at dinner with a crusty elderly retired admiral. He asked what I was doing–I told him about going to school for international relations after being a sub bubba–and he remarked, “I went from engineering to people too, and it’s better doing it in that order rather than the other way around.” I think he’s got a point.
Actually it looks like I will have my own quarters, south-a-ways. I may be joining Greyhawk in Iraq come the New Year or thereabouts. Right now I am just pulling up to the entrance ramp to the Road to War. More to come in days ahead...
