US Army Chief of Infantry Major General Charles S. Farnsworth The Infantry Journal published Patton and Eisenhower’s “A Tank Discussion” in 1920. The essay posited that future tanks would not be the sluggish, mechanically unreliable machines of the Great War but precision vehicles with balanced firepower, armor, speed, and maneuverability. They encouraged infantry commanders to look at tanks as more than just a means for escorting soldiers across the battlefield and open their minds to the independent potential of tanks. Their discussion about the tank being more than an infantry-support arm became heresy. US Army Chief of Infantry Major General Charles S. Farnsworth threatened them both with court martial if they continued promoting this idea. Major Bradford G. Chynoweth published an article in the Cavalry Journal in 1921 predicting that the tanks of the future would replace mounted cavalry. General Farnsworth reprimanded Chynoweth for suggesting that tanks would play such an independent role in future wars. #militaryhistory

❓DID YOU KNOW❓ By the time many military children turn 18, they have moved on average of 6-12 times? This is at least once every 3 years - which is the average time military families stay in one location. However, this is not always the average. Some military families move each year for various reasons. #graceofamilitarychildandlife #militarychildren #militarychild #militarybrat #militarybrats #armybrat #navybrat #marinebrat #airforcebrat #spaceforcebrat #coastguardbrat

TRUMPERS - Why would you conflate the term WAR with COMBAT, and let's add deployment and deployed for the Marine Public Relations dude. And when you say "saw combat," what does that mean? Dropping bombs or launching missiles from a ship at sea or clearing houses one at a time. What's the technical term? DOOR KICKERS... Trumpers and JD, if you keep splitting hairs, you will become as bald as the ex-President! Let's unpack this. First, "war" and "combat" are not synonymous, just like "truth" and "Trump's Twitter feed." War is the grand theater where nations clash, a place where even the most bombastic tweets can't save you from the grim reality. Combat, on the other hand, is the gritty, up-close part of that theater. Imagine a Broadway show, but with fewer jazz hands and more explosions. When Tim Walz says he carried a weapon to war, he's aligning with the strategic wisdom of Sun Tzu, who famously said, "The art of war is of vital importance to the state. It is a matter of life and death, a road either to safety or to ruin." Walz's role might not have been on the front lines or clearing houses, but every soldier plays a part in the grand strategy. Logistics, support, and coordination are the backbone of any military operation, something Sun Tzu would nod approvingly at while sipping his green tea. Now, let's talk about "saw combat." Are we discussing launching missiles from a safe distance, or the heart-pounding, door-kicking action movie scenes? Here's a reality check: modern warfare is a complex, multi-faceted beast. Air Force pilots dropping bombs are seeing combat, just as much as the infantry clearing a hostile building. It's all part of the same deadly dance. If you're arguing over semantics, you might as well debate whether the chicken or the egg came first while sitting on a landmine. Speaking of splitting hairs, Trumpers and JD Vance, your dedication to this practice is impressive. If you keep it up, you'll be as hairless as a Chia Pet on a desert island. Focus on the bigger picture: Tim Walz served honorably in the National Guard for 24 years, retiring as a Command Sergeant Major, the highest enlisted rank. His service included deployments to Italy, Germany, and Kuwait, contributing to operations that kept American forces ready and resilient. This isn't about who kicked down more doors but about who showed up, served, and supported the mission. In the grand tapestry of military service, every thread matters. While Walz might not have been the lead actor in an action flick, his role was vital. Remember Sun Tzu's words: "In the midst of chaos, there is also opportunity." Walz seized that opportunity to serve his country, unlike some who opted for bone spurs and beauty pageants. So, let's stop the nit-picking and hair-splitting. Tim Walz carried a weapon to war because he was part of a force ready to defend and serve. And to our baldly ambitious hair-splitters, I suggest you pick up a history book—or maybe a comb. #JoyfulWarrior
