All four years at West Point I roomed with a rugby player. As a result, even though I knew nothing about rugby going into West Point—my high school was so small, we did not even have a football team—I ended up befriending a number of players. West Point Men’s Rugby Team, 2015.

Published September 12, 2024 Welcome back to Techne! The Italian city of Venice was built on a lagoon, a fact that still amazes me. You can learn all about how this happened in this 2.5-minute clip. Also, if you want to understand why Venice was so important in its heyday, I would suggest reading about the Venetian Arsenal, “one of the earliest large-scale industrial enterprises in history.”Political scientist Francis Fukuyama is right, at least about one thing.

If you really want to get back at Donald Trump, just do your job well. Published September 11, 2024 Hey,It has been a very, very, long couple of days and I’ve got to get on a plane. Also, debate punditry has a shelf-life of unpasteurized dairy on a hot day. So, I’ll be very brief. Kamala Harris won last night. I don’t see how that’s refutable. I don’t even see a single metric by which one could say otherwise.

She should make an honest argument that Kamala Harris is the lesser of two evils. Published September 11, 2024 Of all the living Republicans who have run on a presidential ticket, only two are publicly backing Donald Trump: Sarah Palin, the 2008 vice presidential candidate, and J.D. Vance, Trump’s current running mate. Everyone else is going a different way.

From 9/11 to the Great Recession to COVID, our policy response downplayed civic action. Published September 11, 2024 In the aftermath of September 11, President George W. Bush remarked that “it is natural to wonder if America’s future is one of fear.” Beyond the particularities of that genuinely difficult time, Bush’s words proved prescient in another way. September 11 turned out to be the opening chapter in a broader narrative of fear that defined much of the past 23 years.

By Dan Vallone, Founder of Army 250The Army was America before America was America. On June 14, 1775, more than a year before the Declaration of Independence was issued, the U.S. Army was born. On this date, the Second Continental Congress passed a that created a national Army of “six companies of expert riflemen” that was to join the forces gathered near Boston. The Army’s story is thus America’s story and the Army’s history is America’s history.

In Americans’ political memory, few peacetime moments carry the motivating power of Sputnik. As NASA put it back in 2007, “History changed on October 4, 1957, when the Soviet Union successfully launched Sputnik I.” Shocked by the Soviet’s capabilities, Americans mobilized industry, academia, civil society, and government to dominate the space race, land on the moon, and, ultimately, win the Cold War. Its perceived narrative power explains Sputnik’s frequent appearance in national security debates.
