Dildos, Dracula, urinating Marines, the Kagans, Michael Yon and cougars round out January. Did I mention agitating dildo machines for our troops overseas?

I like Glenn Greenwald, but he’s wrong about the journalism of Michael Hastings. We need to have an honest discussion about the belle of many anti-war activists’ ball. Rolling Stone, retract “Another Runaway General.”

CNAS and the LA Times fail to give you a list of the best war films ever created. My list probably will bug you. But it’s my list. Dracula, Frankenstein, King Kong and the rest visit LoD today. Boo!

My answer to Ryan Evans. Instead of fighting us, join us. You know that we’re right.

Our final “We Get Letters” installment of 2011! Searches that brought you here mentioned Army man love, strippers, Starbuck and Spencer Ackerman’s man purse (“It’s a European sports bag!”).

You question it, so I explain my defense of Andrew Exum as a scholar and a person. No, he’s not a friend. I really don’t know him. But he deserves the praise.

So you’re looking for holiday presents? We’ve got a bonafide game expert on the hook for a Prine of Departure Q&A. Zombies, magicians and pin-up gals, oh my!

A guest post by Mike Few that could’ve been titled “Carl Prine Is Wrong!” Is the COIN industry now too big to fail? And how much will it take to keep propping it up?

Barno, Exum and Irvine. Sounds like a trio of DC ambulance chasers but they’re really the authors of a new CNAS report. Exum shines through.

David Ucko is still wrong! Yeah, he stoops to a nasty slur, but I’ll be the bigger man. Credentials, common sense and the COIN bubble today in LoD.
