If you log on to the Old Jarhead blog and get this notice, please check back. From time to time, Google’s Spam Filter pulls my blog. They restore it when I appeal, but they don’t seem to have the technical ability to fix the problem. I hate to move to another platform with page views running to 7k a week and over 1,100 followers here. Sigh.

Absolutely Must Read Book: Advice to War Presidents by Angelo Codevilla
If they would read it, I'd be delighted to buy copies of this book for President Obama, Secretary Clinton and all the GOP Contenders. It's a must read for officials and everyone interested in foreign policy. Dr. Codevilla eviscerates everyone: Bush and the "Neo-cons," the CIA, Kissinger and the "Realists," and every progressive from Wilson on. There is something here to offend every viewpoint. There were things that made me uncomfortable and that I disagree with, but I'm willing to concede that the author has both more experience and has thought more deeply that I have about the subject. This is a book that will challenge your viewpoints and make you defend them. It may, and should, change your views of both war and statecraft. I highly recommend this book.
