Reblogged from LeftFace -- The Other MilSpouse Blog:
This was a speech written by the husband a couple years ago. Given some of the anti-military rhetoric I saw spewed yesterday across the interwebs, I thought this might be a nice counterpoint. Cross-posted from my personal blog.
Bottom Line Up Front (BLUF): Warriors know that to win, you must know yourself and know your opponent. We get that directly from the war philosopher, Sun Tzu.
This is one of the few blogs I follow... I praise LeftFace for the way in which they challenge norms and misconceptions of not only what military spouses are like, but what people who are involved in the military are like and what it's all about. They are able to hold conversations that cross artificial dichotomies forced on us by our political system and a black and white worldview.
Keep it up.
