SEMPER VIGILANTES - ALWAYS VIGILANT

COMMENTARY ON MILITARY AND FOREIGN AFFAIRS

Andrew Strickland - Editor In Chief

Hello, welcome to our site. Spring semester was quite quite busy and I spent spring break as a Focus Catholic Missionary in Lima Peru. We helped build stairs and retaining walls in the poor areas. It was a powerful experience. I also finished my summer University classes in Orvieto, Italy. Italy was awesome. Orvieto is a very ancient (as in Etruscan) and beautiful hill top town in Umbria. The wines and food of Umbria are great ! I also visited Naples, which is home to NATO headquarters for southern command .

In June, Fernando Cieza joined our team as a translator. Our first spanish language content is NOW available. Our first translated article is on PLA Modernization.. Just check the espanol checkbox, and then click the Asia tab. Where you see spanish text click on it. More spanish translations on PLA modernization to follow. NOTE: We had some HTML/JavaScript issues with our multi-language software roll out. Thanks for your patience.

We also published another 2 articles of our Intro to Quantum Mechanics series. One on Quantum Superposition, the other on Quantum Entaglement. Both of these articles may be updated later as we understand these subjects better. The intro series is now DONE, we will FINALLY begin looking at QM in Military affairs. But only after a little break. This is an INCREDIBLY COMPLEX subject matter. We need a QM break. Please be patient ! We are sorry for the slow roll out of content, but I am in my final semester and graduation at SMU and it leaves little time for new site content. We are hoping to step up the content output early next year.

<< NEW CONTENT>>

We also have released our last 2 spanish language translations of our PLA modernizations articles. Check the espanol box and proceed to ASIA tab. Finally, we NOW begin an in depth series of articles on the F-35 Lightning II fighter plane. TDM believes the F-35 is a much villified aircraft that will insure American Air Dominance for the next 2 decades. The F35 nav tab is now active !! As part of the F-35 series, we have also launched our first article in our "Blue Sky" series. This is a series of speculative "brainstorming" articles that attempt to think outside the box. The article is about our proposal for a fourth variant of the F-35 fighter. Go to the F35 tab and click. Also, we will begin re factoring some of our earlier hasty articles to improve grammar and content. This is our last update until the new year. See you in 2025. STAY TUNED !!

Thank you for visiting us !
