To me, it was more a tie-in to its mothership movie. Almost every country has better unit organization than the US. I think it is because our elite lust after the Junker model rather than the German model of military everything. Donovan's work IS very good. Worth the money and time.

Just like the end of Balboa which would have been ruined had they gone with the alternate ending. They didn't and it's one of my favourite flicks ever<br /><br />*************************************<br /><br />Re: Lord Bisons military service. In the UK I believe you join a specific unit and you remain with that unit. That unit has ties with the local area that stretch for a significant amount of time (late 1800's). I'd imagine that would change things as far as life long "mate ship"<br /><br />*******************<br /><br />Re: Tribes <br /><br />I found Jack Donovans work (The way of Men & Becoming a Barbarian) to be very informative. Basic version is that MEN naturally form groups (10-12) for mutual defence, ergo FORM a gang / tribe of loyal men who have your back.<br /><br />Of course he goes into more detail than that ;-) <br /><br />http://www.jack-donovan.com/axis/2011/03/violence-is-golden/Dingonoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2686829448547770092.post-68969052794156043652017-03-11T13:01:20.913-08:002017-03-11T13:01:20.913-08:00Big back in the day.

A couple of years ago Survival Blog mentioned Taylor Caldwell's book The Devil's Advocate, so I go to Amazon to look for a used copy. There was nothing to be gotten for under $15. I looked on abebooks and there were dozens for 99 cents.<br /><br />Good luck on your new life-chapter without the job. I lost my $15/hr job two years ago and realized that I'm better off not working. I now see that what it did to us in taxes and the cost of a second vehicle to drive to work meant that I was actually only making less than $6/hr. Like Gary in Bama said: "No profit in working".Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2686829448547770092.post-20344177171186793652017-03-11T07:27:46.945-08:002017-03-11T07:27:46.945-08:00Huh, ZPG?
