Five Good Reads

Support independent journalists? Admittedly, we did support Michael Yon but have never been to big on promoting the idea, but we are seriously giving consideration to supporting David Axe in his future adventures. If those future adventures are as interesting as his current one, in particular this tale, we think it is a good investment of time and money. Also see Anne's perspective here. Excellent reporting, but stay safe!

The Supreme Court will weigh in on the Navy sonar issue. Our position is we do not think some non elected committee or a court should decide how the Navy can train ASW. There is absolutely no political leadership on this issue worth supporting, further highlighting how the environmental lobby owns your politician. The good folks who run the blogger roundtable will have Adm. Lawrence Rice, Director, Chief of Naval Operations Environmental Readiness Division on blog talk radio at 1:00pm EST. I have meetings, but am looking forward to an interesting discussion.

DID weighs in with analysis of the Type 45 decision. Our only point on this is that we actually had people post comments on the blog who believed there would be 8 Type 45s. We can't even discuss the Royal Navy anymore without a tone of disgust for what has happened overriding the commentary.

This is the other part of the UCAS-N discussion to add to the CSBA report. Very interesting..., I'd like to hear what you aviation guys think of how these two events (on the same day no less) mesh.

One day, I'm going to go to one of these. I'm thinking if I ever get rich and famous, one day I'm going to host one of those!
