		<description><![CDATA[A WM Captain disputes the numbers: In the days since the Defense Department&#8217;s May 7 release of its 2012 Annual Report on Sexual Assault in the Military, the media and lawmakers have been abuzz. The report&#8217;s estimate that last year 26,000 service members experienced unwanted sexual contact prompted many to conclude, incorrectly, that this reliably estimated the number of victims of sexual assault. The 2012 estimate was also significantly higher than the last estimate, causing some to proclaim a growing &#8220;epidemic&#8221; of sexual assault in the military. The truth is that the 26,000 figure is such bad math—derived from an [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The real story: When General John Thompson completed his iconic submachine gun design in 1919, the world’s governments were weary of war and strapped for cash. With millions of rifles and pistols in their inventories and surplus, there was little room for an unproven, expensive, and distinctly short-range weapon like the ‘Tommy’. British impressions in June 1921 were favourable, but aside from economic considerations, existing doctrine prevented the issue of automatic personal weapons (ironic considering the existence of an 1894 British patent for an automatic rifle). Instead, one of their enemies stepped in to fill the gap, and the order [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Went in to Loudoun Guns yesterday. The gun racks, both new and used, were full. There were plenty of customers too; no sales staff were idle. There were boxes of GI-issue AR magazines, plus new PMags (marked &#8220;$39.95 $29.95&#8243;) and some Ruger factory magazines that appeared to be PMag clones. VERY LITTLE AMMO, at least that I could see. MDL just returned from a road trip to his ancestral home in the Rockies, to retrieve certain items that are longer &#8220;welcome&#8221; in that once-proud state, and which he had collected over the past few years. He texted me yesterday, &#8220;Just [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Doug asked us to make sure we mentioned that the siege of Vicksburg began this day, 150 years ago. And we thank him for it, else it might have gone unnoticed as we tend to think of the Civil War in east coast terms. The War in the west is a sad gap in our knowledge, so perhaps Doug&#8217;s request will spur us on to revisit this crucial campaign. An overview of the siege is HERE. Much more interesting information is HERE. I invite you to look at the Confederate order of battle; aside from units from the deep South [...]]]></description>

I will continue to blog, at my own blog http://vmitownie76.com, occasionally at Sic Semper Tyrannis, and other blogs, where occasionally I make an appearance.  I shall continue to read OP-FOR and may from time to time make a comment or two.  I would urge some of the regular commentators to contact JPP [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[A reprise to our post on Mighty Stonewall at Chancellorsville; ETP0802 sent the link to this fascinating article: Scholars have long questioned whether it was an infection or pneumonia that killed Jackson, who gained the nickname &#8220;Stonewall&#8221; early in the war and went on to be lionized in the South and feared in the North because of his military exploits. On Friday, the 150th anniversary of Jackson&#8217;s death, a trauma surgeon with experience on the battlefield in Iraq and Afghanistan revealed his diagnosis of Jackson&#8217;s death after reinvestigating the medical record. After reviewing the 1860s files and subsequent reports, University [...]]]></description>
