winterbadgerI reposted on FB a link to a NYT article about "the War on Christmas" and the way in which false narratives can be brought up short by real historical study.
A blog I've neglected reading lately, Abu Muqawama, has a good piece on a topic, the use of drones in whatever we're calling the GWOT these days, that has the same effect. Anyone needing a refresher on Thomas Jefferon and his own proto-GWOT could do worse than read Joseph Whelan's Jefferson's War: America's First War on Terror 1801-1805.
