The Daily Briefing is no more. No more geopolitical crap, no more insights into the “military lifestyle”. If you want that, go someplace else. I’m sure there’s somebody out there who’ll be more than happy to provide you with fodder for supporting whatever ideology you’re trying to peddle and perhaps they’ll be better than I was at properly portraying the caricature of a military person, since that’s all most people seem to want.
Good for you, dude – be yourself and let the hits fall where they may. I’ve already commented on those who hastened the burnout; you know who you are.
In retrospect, perhaps he shouldn’t have plastered John Wayne’s picture on his masthead and borrowed one of the Duke’s most famous military roles for his nomme-du-blog.

Hey!!…does anyone know where I can get a poster of Sgt Stryker and his “Canteen Cup” saying “How ’bout a nice cup of Shut The Fuck Up!!” I have a friend with a much “Xeroxed” copy so dark you can barely make it out….
