The World’s Largest Caldera Discovered In The Philippine Sea

MAJ Ken Landgren That sounds good Sir.

PO2 (Join to see) - Do u like military history in general? I just noticed something about writing military history. I not only do I say what happened, but I generally try to explain why it happened and seminal moments in battles and wars.

MAJ Ken Landgren I like WWII Pacific War history that isn't to widely known and U.S.Civil war history.

I have written quite a bit about military history. I am no genius nor am I military historian. However, I am going to brag because I feel like I have been really humble for the longest time, and I feel like I should brag! lol I apologize if I do not show enough decorum to the exalted few.

This is what I want to tell you. Inevitably I end up looking at several sources of a topic because one source often can't paint the picture. As an example, a book that describes only Allied offensive operations on D-Day. Multiple sources of information means I can paint a better picture. Sometimes it means I want to take a detour.

I have written about an elder widow going to Vietnam to seek the site of where her just married husband was killed many many years ago. I wrote a story about Desert Storm. I wrote about Patton from N Africa to France. I have a couple stories about the revolutionary war and how much George Washington did to create this country. I think about hungry, cold, underfed, under clothed, underpaid Continental Army Soldiers who left blood on the snow because they had no shoes. I wish every soldier understood they are part of a continuum going back to the Continental Army. We will be part of that hallowed history. Walk proudly. I wrote a story on how Hannibal with maybe 50,000 man army slaughtered a Roman Army of 80,000.

Many people will not catch them, but I often use military paradigms and principles of war to make a point. I like the strategic and tactical aspects of war. Ultimately I want the readers to have fun and learn at the same time.
