Then you should be aware of what Phantasmal's screen name was on the message board I posted on with her in the early 2000s.

It starts with the letter F.

What was it?

Sybil has the wits of a six-year-old trying to play poker.

If we're going to throw chum out there for the frantic Googlers, I would add the military theorist Carl von Clausewitz to the mix. I might be wrong, but he probably gets more class time at the Army War College than Sun Tzu does.

Looks like YOU googled, too! How else would YOU Know about anything?
 
Doc Dutch said:
Agreed since von Clausewitz expanded more on the modern military. Von Clausewitz is more for Colonels and Generals, mostly strategic warfare. I lean more toward asymmetrical warfare and cut to the basics such as "The Art of War". Such warfare is more tactical. Other good books on the subject are Che Guevara's "Guerrilla Warfare" and Alberto Bayo's "150 Questions For A Guerrilla" along with the US military's COIN manual.

The COIN Manual is good.

The must-reads are: and The Joint Chiefs Selected Doctrine Set

It's not a talking point if it's demonstrably true. For some reason, ten seconds after reading a post you are frantically googling for tidbits of scientific information, and sprinting back here to pass it off as your own.

I rarely google because I am generally not writing anything that somebody with introductory or undergraduate level college physics, chemistry, and biology wouldn't already have under their belt, or acquired by a lifetime of reading science journalism.

I don't think anyone else here is paraphrasing and plagiarizing internet sources in an attempt to feign the language of a "biogeochem" PhD researcher.

I am tired of these accusations. So on a lark this afternoon I took some shots of my current bookshelf at home. Note that one of them has a special message just for you, Cypress. So you know I'm not faking it.

I hope you understand what this implies. It is HARDLY the case that I just randomly google things to impress you. I've been doing science for a very long time. I'm sure you will understand since I'm equally certain your bookshelf is not unlike this.

Of course you know what it is. You're me! Now let me jump off IBDaMann and back onto Cypress so I can say something "combative" so I can appear as two people.

Why is your ego so weak, Perry? Only a weak and cowardly person keeps playing one-upmanship games with others. That's bad enough when it's their neighbor, but even more lame when played with anonymous people on the Internet.

My guess is that you have something else in common with COgoat; you had the start of a promising career after college but then it imploded due to adult onset mental illness.

What other explanation could there be for your behavior?

I don't like being insulted. At least I'm not doing the whole "stolen valor" thing like you. That's pretty repulsive.

So your mother kept all her college books, so did mine.

I'm calling you a frantic Googler and plagiarizer because you googled tidbits of scientific information and passed it off as your own words and thoughts.

It's interesting reading and free online: https://www.latinamericanstudies.org/bayo.htm

Same for the others.

I suppose military officers have to be taught the history and tactics of insurgents.

But we don't seem to learn the lessons, if you consider Phillipines, Vietnam, Iraq, Afghanistan.

Supposedly Mao is studied as a great tactical and strategic thinker, at least in the context of insurgencies.

Nice picture of someone's library. Ever plan to read any of these?

No one 'does' science. 'Science' is not a verb.
