To the Immortal Memory of Robert Burns

Sadly this year there is no Burns Night supper to attend, all things still being shut down and canceled here in North Carolina. I hear other states -- even California! -- are opening up, but our governor remains convinced that this lockdown concept is a valuable one. 

Like so many things, we'll have to do it virtually this year.

So, Powerline is technically correct, but cf. 3:07 in this video.

Dude's got a CIB, good enough for me. Better than if he'd served in the JAG corp, like you'd expect of a Harvard law grad.

Yeah, it’s true that he did well. In terms of who should call themselves “an Army Ranger,” well, technically it’s true that any Ranger school graduate can; but Mat Best is not lying about how the Regiment guys feel about it.

On the other hand Jimbo says it’s cool, having completed the Q course to become a Green Beret but studiously avoided Ranger School. It sucks. Three cycles of pain.
