Following the Curtis LeMay post, who would be your top 5 or 10 military top brass?
Anthony Zinni, Hugh Shelton, H.R. McMaster, and Jack Keane could order me around.
Generals Norman Schwarzkopf, Colin Powell, Mark A. Milley, James N. Mattis and Joseph Dunford are my favorites. I probably need to update this.

Ursula von der Leyen is the EU Commission President, Annalena Baerbock is the German Foreign Minister, Sanna Marin is the former Finnish Prime Minister, now a “strategic advisor” of the Tony Blair Institute. Kaja Kallas is the former Estonian Prime Minister and now Vice President of the European Commission.
The trouble with such “tough women,” it seems to me, is that may often be lulled into thinking that they have something to prove. During the Cuban Missile Crisis, President Kennedy remarked to a confidante that the trouble with General Curtis LeMay, who wanted to commence hostilities with the Russians, was that he allowed his decision-making to be governed by his fear of seeming weak.
I sometimes wonder if John Kennedy was the last man of any real sophistication to hold high office in the West. Since he was assassinated, we have, it seems to me, witnessed a steady decline of intellect in our leaders.
It reminds me of the great opening scene of Patrick O’Brian’s novel, HMS Surprise, set during the Napoleonic Wars. Sir Joseph Blain, the head of British naval intelligence, attends a meeting of the Admiralty and assesses the men who staff it.

Léon Degrelle
I really should choose better people to tell you guys about, the good ones tend not to make the best of posts.
Léon Joseph Marie Ignace Degrelle was a Belgian politician and nazi collaborator. He rose to prominence in Belgium in the 1930s as the leader of the Rexist Party (Rex).
During the German occupation of Belgium during World War II, he enlisted in the German army and fought in the Walloon Legion on the Eastern Front.
After the collapse of the nazi regime, Degrelle escaped and went into exile in Francoist Spain, where he remained a prominent figure in neo-nazi politics.
nazi and neo-nazi? Sounds charming. Riiiiiiight.
He had slipped into irrelevance by the start of World War II. Degrelle began to collaborate with nazi Germany as the war began and was detained by Belgian and then French authorities.
This lovely trash bag? Gloria VanderTrash? Degrelle married Marie Lemay, the daughter of a French industrialist, on 27 March 1932. The couple had five children. Their marriage became strained during the war as Degrelle kept mistresses in Brussels and Paris. Yes, that is plural.
After the German invasion of Belgium in mid-1940, Degrelle was released and began to change Rex (political party) into a mass movement to curry the favor of the nazis.
In 1941, Degrelle organized and himself joined and fought in the Walloon Legion, a unit of the German Army and, after 1943, the Waffen-SS. His performance in 1944 at the Cherkassy pocket and subsequent decorations turned him into a model for foreign collaborators.
What a thing to be a model of.
Think about this for a moment. In 1941, the nazis weren't yet crumbling into pieces. By the time 1943 and 1944 rolled around, Germany was showing very serious signs of cracking. So, why?
Following the liberation of Belgium in late 1944, Degrelle was stripped of his citizenship and was sentenced to death in absentia. He was a man without a country, in literal terms.
He fled to Spain, where with the help of the Spanish government he went into hiding from Belgian authorities in August 1946.
In the 1960s, Degrelle returned to public life as a neo-Nazi and gained great influence in far-right European circles. He published several books and papers glorifying the nazi regime and denying the Holocaust.
In otherwords, someone should have punched this rotting bag of shite in the face. Preferably, with a brick or two. Baseball bat? Lucille? (TWD fans!)
On 15 May, the Spanish government contacted the British government about deporting Degrelle, but not back to Belgium.
In response, Belgium, which made Degrelle's repatriation and prosecution a top priority, asked for British and American support in talks with Spain.
The United States and the U.K. were ambivalent about the matter as Degrelle had not been named a war criminal by the United Nations War Crimes Commission, but were moved into an active role in June by Belgian protests.
The British and Americans decided that, since Degrelle had entered Spain as a member of the German armed forces, he should be taken into Allied custody with 30 other German exiles via an American ship, and communicated this desire to Spain.
The Spanish government decided it could not extract diplomatic recognition from Belgium in exchange for Degrelle, and instead justified its reluctance to repatriate Degrelle on human rights grounds.
By the 1980s, Degrelle was living comfortably, having profited from running a construction company that helped build American airbases in Spain, and under his original name.
He died in the 1990s. He should have never made it past his 1st birthday.

The Many World War II References in Thracia 776
At this point, it's largely known that several bosses encountered in Fire Emblem: Shadow Dragon were named after infamous military figures from World War II. Much less spoken of are the references to not only members of N*zi Germany, but important faces from this period around the globe. Do note that due to circumstances I've had to censor various keywords (though I'm sure I managed to miss some), so you have my apologies if this wasn't immediately accessible, or if the odd asterisk here and there is troublesome.
Starting with Chapter 1's Weismann (JP: ワイズマン; rōmaji: waizuman), tasked by Raydrik to capture Leif in Fiana. He likely takes his name from Chaim Weizmann, written in Japanese as ハイム・ヴァイツマン (rōmaji: haim vaitsuman) or カイム・ワイズマン (rōmaji: kaim waizuman). Weizmann was a Jewish biochemist from R*ssia, but went on to be the president of the World Zionist Organization, which sought to establish a homeland for the Jewish people in the borders of the Biblical Land of Israel. He would work alongside British Prime Minister Winston Churchill throughout both World Wars. When the State of Israel was formed in 1948 after conflicts with the Palestinians who call the land home, Weizmann would become the first Israeli president.
Tolman (JP: トルーマン; rōmaji: torūman) is the boss of Chapter 6, leading a battalion in Munster. He is named after United States President Harry Truman (ハリー��トルーマン; rōmaji: harī torūman), who took presidency after the passing of Franklin Roosevelt towards the end of World War II. Truman is best known for his authorization of the use of nuclear warheads on Japan.
Chapter 7's boss is named Eisenhau (JP: アイゼナウ; rōmaji: aizenau), rather obviously named after the subsequent president of the United States following Harry Truman, Dwight D. Eisenhower (ドワイト・D・アイゼンハワー; rōmaji: dowaito D aizenhawā). Before his presidency, Eisenhower held the role of Supreme Commander of the Allied Expeditionary Force in World War II, having planned out Operation Torch and Operation Overlord.
Lemay (or Rumaigh, depending on the translation), is a Thracian Wyvern Knight working with the Violdrake Bandits in Chapter 8. His Japanese name, ルーメイ (rōmaji: rūmei) comes from United States Air Force general Curtis LeMay (JP: カーチス・ルメイ; rōmaji: kāchisu rumei), who was involved in arranging the bombing tactics in the Pacific Theater of World War II, including Operation Starvation - dumping naval mines around major Japanese ports to cut off shipping - and the dropping of the atomic bombs on Hiroshima and Nagasaki.
Oltoph (JP: オルトフ; rōmaji: orutofu) is a bishop serving under Kempf encountered in Chapter 11x. He likely is named after Soviet Secret Police member Alexander Orlov (JP: アレクサンドル・オルロフ; rōmaji: arekusandoru orurofu). Orlov was given a major directing role over Soviet involvement in the Spanish Civil War, serving as a liaison to the Spanish Republican faction and weeding out any amongst them that thought to challenge Joseph St*lin and the Soviets. He would continue his policing duties during the Great Purge, arresting and executing those internally viewed as a threat to St*lin's reign. When Orlov’s own friends ended up in the state’s firing line, he abandoned the Soviet Union and brought his family to Canada, a threat of leaking many of the country’s illegal operatives protecting him. Strengthening this reference is how Oltoph, more or less sentenced to death to allow Kempf's escape, will dart for an escape tile after 30 turns.
Chapter 14's boss is a Baron of Friege named Paulus (JP: パウルス; rōmaji: paurusu), who is tasked with the capture of Tarrah. He is named after Friedrich Paulus (JP: フリードリヒ・パウルス; rōmaji: furīdorihi paurusu) a German field marshall best known for his role in the Battle of Stalingrad. In what would be Germany's last push to invade the Soviet Union, the R*ssian city of Stalingrad would be largely demolished and held by the Axis powers with little threat until winter's approach, when the Soviets took advantage of the Germans' lack of preparedness. The German front would be pushed further and further back until the remaining Sixth Army - the most highly decorated army of the Wehrmacht - was surrounded in the city. After a failed rescue attempt, the highest-ranked soldier remaining in the Sixth Army, Friedrich Paulus was promoted to the rank of field marshal over radio by Adolf H*tler himself. His orders were to either withstand the Soviets for an indefinite length of time or to take their own lives before capture. Nonetheless, Paulus would soon allow himself and his men to be captured, and would just as quickly grow vocal with his disdain for his homeland; he even would be a witness of the Nuremberg Trials.
The scenario of Chapter 14, with Leif, the Liberation Army, and the people of Tarrah being completely surrounded by Imperial forces, has apparent similarities to the position the Sixth Army was in during the Battle of Stalingrad. Similarly, the character of Paulus showing uncertainty in his actions and the commands of Bloom may be based upon Friedrich Paulus' statements against Germany following his capture.
McCloy (JP: マクロイ; rōmaji: makuroi) is a Wyvern Knight of Thracia ordered by Travant to capture Tarrah after the Imperial forces are worn from their siege. He is named after John J. McCloy (JP: ジョン・J・マクロイ; rōmaji: jon J makuroi), an American lawyer and presidential adviser to every United States president from FDR to Ronald Reagan. During World War II he served as Assistant Secretary of War, as which he was one of the major decision-makers in putting Japanese-Americans in internment camps. He also tried to convince President Truman that, based on intercepted messages, that by providing terms of surrender to Japan that would maintain their monarchy, with the threat of nuclear bombs if not accepted, they would ensure the war's end - a sentiment rejected, as the warheads would be dropped as soon as they were completed without any negotiations.
Chapter 14x's Eichner may be one of the most infamous named bosses in Thracia 776. In Japanese, his name is アイヒマン (rōmaji: aihiman) from Adolf Eichmann (アドルフ・アイヒマン; rōmaji: adorufu aihiman), one of the most infamous Schutzstaffel members. He was a lead organizer of the H*l*caust, assigned to the management of deporting Jewish people to extermination camps en masse. Given the chapter Eichner is found in features a city's entire population relocating due to being driven out by the empire, the connections are clear.
In the Project Exile fan translation preceding the current Lil' Manster translation, Eichner's name was radically changed to Arendt. This change was intended to remove a reference to such a deplorable man, replacing it with an allusion to Hannah Arendt, a Jewish historian who thoroughly recorded the trial of Eichmann, documented in her book Eichmann in Jerusalem. However, this change was largely seen as a haphazard choice, especially when the character works alongside the blatantly evil cultists and the replacement name was that of a good-natured historian and philosopher.
Mueller (JP: ミュラー; rōmaji: myurā) is a Mage Knight of the Gelb Ritter fought outside the gates of Leonster in Chapter 17A. He likely is named after Heinrich Müller (JP: ハインリヒ・ミュラー; rōmaji: hainrihi myurā), chief of the Gestapo during World War II who worked closely with Heinrich Himmler and Reinhard Heydrich since the days of the Weimar Republic. He had a major role in the organization of the H*l*caust, stated by Eichmann to have been in constant contact regarding the deportation of Jews. He was never found after H*tler's death, making him the highest-ranked N*zi to have never been confirmed captured or dead.
Found in the same chapter is the Dark Bishop Moore (JP: ムーア; rōmaji: mūa). Based on Mueller's namesake, Moore may be named after Robert Mohr, one of the Gestapo's interrogation specialists, primarily known for his work searching for the White Rose, a non-violent resistance group. However, there is little to support this claim beyond both possible figures being members of the Gestapo.
Gustav (JP: グスタフ; rōmaji: gusutafu) is a baron from Grannvale who serves as an advisor to Bloom and is entrusted to Leonster Castle. Unlike most other names derived from World War II era Germany, Gustav seems to pull from an infamous man's first name, rather than surname: Gustav Wagner (JP: グスタフ・ワーグナー; rōmaji: gusutafu wāgunā) was an Austrian staff sergeant and the most feared personnel at Sobibor extermination camp. He was deputy commandant at Sobibor, assigned to many daily interactions with the inmates. Reports from survivors assert that he was highly violent, beating and killing without reason. He was so brutal and claimed so many lives that Heinrich Himmler stated that he was "one of the most deserving men of Operation Reinhard".
Fire Emblem's Gustav is clearly displayed as a cruel man, having no qualms with the Loptrians' child hunts and imprisoning the loved ones of his knights who defected from Leonster to ensure they obey him. With how infamous the prison break of Chapter 18 is, it wouldn't be a surprise if it was inspired by Wagner's role at the extermination camp.
Chapter 19's boss is Wolfe (JP: ウォルフ; rōmaji: worufu), a baron serving Bloom in the defense of Ulster. He likely is named after Karl Wolff (JP: カール・ヴォルフ; rōmaji: kār vorufu), Chief of Personal Staff Reichsführer-SS - personal adjutant of Heinrich Heimler - and liaison to Adolf H*tler. He later became the Supreme SS and Police Leader, and worked on Operation Sunrise to surrender Germany after the death of H*tler.
Cohen (JP: コーエン; rōmaji: kōen) is the grandfather of Saias and fought alongside Reinhardt at the River Thracia. He may be named after Albert Cohen (JP: アルベール・コーエン; rōmaji: arubēru kōen), a Jewish writer and diplomat who worked in France before Germany's occupation. He was part of the Zionist movement, worked alongside Chaim Weizmann, and was both the representative of Zionism in the League of Nations and part of the UN's International Labor Organization. Throughout and after World War II, Cohen worked to unite governments in exile and aided in the transport of Jews fleeing Germany, advising refugee committees from France, Britain, and the U.S.
Alphand (JP: アルファン; rōmaji: arufan) is a bishop of the Loptr Church that protects Munster Castle in Chapter 23. He likely is named after Hervé Alphand (JP: エルヴェ・アルファン; rōmaji: eruve arufan), the economic advisor to Charles de Gaulle, leader of the Free France movement after Germany invaded France.
Lastly, both Kempf and Reinhardt are named after German officers during World War II. They have their own post, found here.
And as a bonus: even one of the unused characters found in the game's files gets his name from this time period: Speer (JP: シュペール; rōmaji: shupēru) is named after Albert Speer (JP: アルベルト・シュペーア; rōmaji: aruberuto shupēa), Minister of Armaments and War Production in Germany and part of H*tler's inner circle.

The Unforgiven 1960 (Photo - Lillian Gish behind the scenes - Durango Mexico - filming The Unforgiven (Matilda Zachary))Late in 1958, Huston signed a contract to direct a Western for the production company of Hecht-Hill-Lancaster, whose first big hit had been the Academy Award-winning Marty. The film would star Burt Lancaster and be based on the novel The Unforgiven by Alan LeMay. Huston and Ben Maddow, with whom he had written The Asphalt Jungle, began the adaptation. To save money, the film, set in the western United States in the late 1860s, would be shot near Durango, in Mexico, a country that Huston knew well and felt happy working in.In an interview with the Hollywood Citizen-News in 1959, Huston announced, “In The Unforgiven . . . the gross salary of any of the stars — Audrey Hepburn, Tony Curtis, Burt Lancaster— is more than the entire cost of The Maltese Falcon, which was made for less than $300,000.“ Curtis would drop out of this cast and be replaced by Audie Murphy, but the cost of the film would not drop. It would eventually hit more than $5,000,000, making the project the most expensive Huston had done to that point in his career. There were a number of reasons for the expense. One involved a long delay that occurred when Audrey Hepburn was injured falling from a horse — a recurrent danger in Huston films because of the director’s insistence upon using horses — and had to be hospitalized with a bad back. Another major expense was the house that had to be constructed. There are only two apparently simple houses in the film, one in which the Zachary family (Lancaster, Hepburn, Murphy, Lillian Gish, and Doug McClure) live and the other in which the Rawlins family (Charles Bickford, Albert Salmi, June Walker, Kipp Hamilton, and Arnold Merritt) live. The Zachary house, however, proved to be one of the most expensive sets Huston ever had made. Built against a fake mountain that itself had to be constructed, the house was made in specially fitted sections so it could be taken apart easily for shots at various positions. It was a marvel of engineering, supervised by art director Stephen Grimes. “The house,” said Huston, “was almost as ingenious as the whales built for Moby Dick. It served as a studio as well as our main set because we did our film cutting right there, in the back of the house under the artificial hill.” After each day of shooting, the color film would be flown to England for processing and then flown back to be viewed by Huston. In the finished film, which runs over two and a half hours in its uncut form, the Zachary family, led by the eldest brother, Ben (Lan- caster), is in partnership with the Rawlins family in cattle ranching. The Zachary father had been killed in a Kiowa attack and the Zacharys — particularly Cash (Murphy) — bear a deep hatred for the Indians. A mysterious figure, Kelsey (Joseph Wiseman), dressed in a Union uniform arrives one day and tells the Indians and then the Rawlins family that Rachel Zachary (Hepburn) is really a full-blooded Kiowa. The Zacharys admit that she is a foundling but deny she is Indian. When the oldest Rawlins boy, Charlie (Albert Salmi), is killed by the Kiowa after he courts Rachel, Kelsey is brought in to be hanged for helping the Indians. He again insists that Rachel is an Indian and that he had been with the dead Zachary father when the child was found. The Zacharys deny this and refuse to allow Rachel to be examined. Zeb Rawlins (Bickford) renounces his partnership and sends the Zachary family off alone to fight the Kiowas, who have vowed to take Rachel. The Zacharys find an Indian message indicat- ing Kelsey’s story is true. Mattilda (Gish) admits the truth, and Cash denounces Rachel and leaves. The Zacharys then fight the Indians through the night. Mattilda is killed and Andy (McClure) wounded. Cash returns to help at the last minute, and Rachel kills her own brother, the Indian who has led the war party to get her. Ben announces his plan to marry Rachel and the film ends. The similarity to Huston’s other films can be seen in the search for a truth hidden in the past, a truth that reveals someone has been posing as something he or she is not. This recurrent Huston theme was to be developed even more explicitly in Freud and The List of Adrian Messenger. Again, a small group must stand alone against great odds and risk their lives for a goal or principle, for the first time in a Huston film a principle that involves a group of people held together by racial prejudice. The film is filled with Biblical dialogue and Old Testament refer- ences. “The Lord sayeth, be fruitful and multiply,” says the patriar- chal Zeb. This verselike Biblical prose was to be used even more in Huston’s only other Western, The Life and Times of Judge Roy Bean. There is a strange undercurrent of mysticism in the film. Cash, for example, has special powers and is able to sense the presence of Indians. During the siege of the family house, when he is ten miles away, he tells the Rawlins’ daughter (Walker) exactly what is hap- pening. Kelsey appears as a prophet out of the mist to forecast doom just as Elijah (Royal Dano) in Moby Dick did before the voyage, but still the characters move forward, committed to their path. While the film does adhere to conventions of the Western in many ways, it also introduces some rather bizarre touches. The ghostly presentation of Kelsey throughout the film is one example, but the use of the piano may be even more striking. Ben brings a piano back home from Wichita so that Mattilda can play Mozart. When the Indians play their war flutes — not drums — in the night during the seige, Ben moves the piano outdoors and his mother counters with light classics. The image is surreal and followed by an equally strange sequence in which six Indians are killed in a frenzied attack on the piano. Unfortunately, while reviews were mostly good, The Unforgiven was not popular with audiences. At this point, Huston had made three films away from his home in Ireland and had thoughts about heading back there to work on his Freud project, but he was to be delayed for almost two more years by a film that took him back to the United States.

Here Come the Ring Hackers
https://www.vice.com/en_us/article/3a88k5/how-hackers-are-breaking-into-ring-cameras
Hackers have created dedicated software for breaking into Ring security cameras, according to posts on hacking forums reviewed by Motherboard. The camera company is owned by Amazon, which has hundreds of partnerships with police departments around the country.
On Wednesday, local Tennessee media reported that a hacker broke into a Ring camera installed in the bedroom of three young girls in DeSoto County, Mississippi, and spoke through the device's speakers with one of the children.
The family said they had the camera for four days, during which time the hacker could have been watching the kids go about their days.
According to Tennessee local news outlet WMC5, the parents installed the Ring camera in the bedroom of their three young daughters to keep an eye on them. Indoor Ring cameras work with a mobile app that allows users to watch what's happening in real-time and use the speaker to talk through the camera.
“I did a lot of research on these before I got them. You know, I really felt like it was safe,” Ashley LeMay, the girls' mother, told WMC5. A big part of Ring's marketing strategy revolves around making customers feel like their own homes are unsafe, so that they'll turn to surveillance devices to ease those fears.
Do you know anything else about breaking into Ring cameras? We'd love to hear from you. Using a non-work phone or computer, you can contact Joseph Cox securely on Signal on +44 20 8133 5190, Wickr on josephcox, OTR chat on [email protected], or email [email protected].
In a video obtained by WMC5 courtesy of the family, you can see what the hacker would have seen: A viewpoint that looms over the entire room from where the camera is installed in a far corner, looking down on their beds and dressers while they play. The hacker is heard playing the song "Tiptoe Through the Tulips" through the device's speakers, and when one of the daughters, who is eight years old, stops and asks who's there, the hacker says, "It's Santa. It's your best friend."...

“The Road” exhibition collected images from 46 artists from across the country to create an exhibition that celebrates, highlights and explores the American road and all that it in-tells. The exhibition will survey the notion of the American Road. The road is an iconic theme that runs in some of the best and well known American photographers work such as Stephen Shore, Ed Ruscha, Alec Soth and many others . Photographers have traveled these vast landscapes and across thousands of miles to document this country and all that surrounds the road; the landscape, the gas stations, the motels, the diners and everything that comes by its side and its lifestyle.
