[April 15, 2026] I discovered that Soldiers who can grind out their duties under tough U.S. Army Commanders repeatedly say the same thing: it was the hardest job of their lives, but they did the best work they ever produced.

[November 7, 2025] Canadian songwriter Leonard Cohen wrote the lyrics to his song “The Captain,” published in 1984. The poem is unsettling and dark.
