Not very much current military news today. I guess that is a good thing.

______________________________________________________________

Saw an article that was an interview with a Army General on his views of the Ukraine war. He was very clear that the Russians were undertrained, and not capable of being a good fighting force.

Using prisoners is a disaster. They have no training and are sent to the front lines to be slaughtered.

The assistance from the United States has made a huge difference. Ukrainians are be trained with the latest weapons.

Russia is using WWII type weapons, and it shows.

The generals prediction is that the war will end in negotiations.

_________________________________________________________________

I am now down to just three interviews left and then it is off to the publisher, BookBaby. Thos interviews are:

  1. Charles Strange- a Gold Star father
  2. Milton Hoch- a Vietnam veteran.
  3. A submariner who was on a nuclear sub.

These three interviews will be exciting. The Vietnam interview will be riveting, and most interesting.
